this has sort of been a thing in the UK for a while now, the garbage tier delivery companies are actually random guys with vans that are subcontracted by the delivery co. it works exactly as well as youd imagine a system incentivised by number of deliveries made does i.e. not at all. just last week i saw a guy jump out of a van, dump an amazon parcel in the street in front of a house, knock once then sign the delivery tracker himself and drive off with the box just left out in the open. hope there wasn't anything valuable in it!

i once talked to a european who was baffled that asian car brands are just a bit less popular than domestic ones in america, and that most european brands have scraps of the market if any at all. why the hell did he think we'd buy citroens instead of toyotas Powerful Two-Hander posted:this has sort of been a thing in the UK for a while now, the garbage tier delivery companies are actually random guys with vans that are subcontracted by the delivery co. i like that in america its pretty much just the post office, ups, and fedex. maybe once in a while a company decides to be weird and you see the yellow DHL van

At least the OnTrac guy rings my doorbell. The FedEx guy in my neighborhood said he refuses to deliver packages to any house with a gate, no matter how small, just in case there was a dog. I told him I owned no dog and my gate was 3 feet high. He explained he couldn't be sure there wasn't a dog. That's my story

google trying to out-creep Facebook on the ad targeting frontquote:Google will let a retailer you've shopped at upload your email address to Customer Match so that it can serve up ads while you're watching YouTube, searching Google for related products, or checking your Gmail inbox while signed into that email account. The ad product also lets companies create a general audience profile based on existing customers' habits and interests to target new customers when they use Google services.

don't worry, i'm sure no retailer would willingly go out of their way to upload their customers' emails to an advertising network, right? just kidding, google will incentivize them with $$$ and they'll respond by flooding google with all your data

computer parts posted:what's the perception of american brand cars over there well ford is ford and they've always been there. perceived as a low to middle choice. better than they were pre-focus when they decided to actually fit locks that couldn't just be opened by sticking a random coat zipper or screwdriver in. it's only relatively recently that gm/chevy even turned up. I've never once seen a camaro or corvette on a uk road though, just the little shitboxes they sell. I don't think an "american sports car" is considered a good bet due to whole "being bad" thing
