Azhais posted:If you lived anywhere near civilization it was never normal to wait 2-3 weeks for something in recent history. Outpost.com pioneered the "anything delivered in 48 hours" bit back in 95 already. Pretty much all e commerce got it to you in under a week I guess I always did wonder why it always said “allow 6 to 8 weeks for delivery” in catalogs. Like in retrospect wtf took them so long, were they doing title floats on Lego sets

Generally took me anywhere from a week to a month or two depending on the item, but I grew up in a place deliberately chosen to be the middle of nowhere. For big stuff like furniture you'd head into town and talk to Mr Fox, who had the catalogs and the connections. His department store had very little of everything on hand, but anything it didn't have he was happy to jump through the hoops to have it ordered and transported.

Yes, truly, thank God (or better yet, thank Uncle Jeff!) for bringing us next day no extra charge shipping. It has made the world a better place for all, and it only cost the emiseration of hundreds of thousands of workers and the continued devastation of the global ecosystem. Worth it!

And with the holiday season coming up, that number may be on the rise.

Songbearer posted:Just take a few seconds to understand that you can spend an hour or two of your week to go to a park and look at a pond and see a duck with its little flappy feet paddling about, see the wake it leaves behind as it swims, watch it bob under the water and feed, shaking its little duck head as it pobbles away and come off more fulfilled and with happier memories than any dumbfuck thing Elon is doing right this minute Songbearer posted:20 years ago I was out in the garden with my digital camera taking pictures of flowers and insects 'cause I love bugs. A little bee was buzzing around doing what bees do so I took a photo. I really liked it, so I showed my dad and he asked me to send it him so he could have it on his computer. Anyway, a few days later, he asks me to come downstairs because he's got something for me and it turns out he got the media people at his job to print out a big high quality version of this photo and he had it framed. He asked if he could hang it up in his room and it stayed there until he passed away, ever since then it's been hanging up in my bedroom. Some beautiful sentiments here.

I used to post like germane business suggestions in this thread for Tesla because Elon is clearly a goon, and given his sketchy ring of advising, probably is so loving out of his gourd that he reads this thread for business hot tips, but it made me realize that I have an actual, practical, real, hard critical eye for the automotive industry and I should be hostile-takeover bullying him out of his fortune because he just loving sucks that badly. Like if I asked this dude where automotive industry design trends were, the reply would be basically dictated copypasta from a vintage Idiot Billionare's fork of DALL-E and a cry-laughing emoji.

I have this word suspicion that Elon licensed DMX's "X gon' give it to ya" years ago and is wanting to capitalise on it for what he believes is the ultimate in marketing genius.

Elon's obsession with making PayPal (and now Twitter) a universal financial service not-a-bank makes a touch more sense when you know that precious stones and metals was one of the ways that rich South Africans evaded anti-apartheid sanctions. Musk grew up immersed in money laundering, and tends back towards enabling it.

MunchE posted:Amazon basically pushed the entire e commerce world to where you get your poo poo in a couple of days. A decade ago it was normal to wait 2-3 weeks if you ordered anything Please, Amazon just brought things back to how they were in the 50s and earlier when mail was carried by train. Back then, two day shipping of mail was common because it predominantly moved by train car in what was known as a "rolling post office." Back then, postal agents would sort the mail as it was being transported and mail could even be loaded onto a train at 60-90mph via a special hook. Then USPS shifted to truck and plane because "it was faster" resulting in longer shipping times due to needing to ship between distribution centers and sort the mail at each stop. All Bezos did was take the Walmart Distribution Center model of warehousing and apply it to home delivery instead of store delivery. (Something Sears already had established back in the 1800s, but somehow forgot how to do)
