UPS is is trying to out do the post office in the 'why the hell did they do that?' Competition. I have another Amazon package being more well traveled than I. On the 12th the package started out in Houston,Tx. Between Saturday and Monday it bounced around to about six different places in Texas. It has been from Houston to Dallas to Austin to Amarillo... it has had a good trip. The package finished the day up arriving in Knoxville, Tn. Today it decided to go to Cincinnati, and then Toledo. From Cinnci, they would have had to send it through my town to get to Toledo. We have a UPS center here, two actually. They couldn't slow down as they drove by and toss my package out the window?
Normally I get two muffins for $1.25 at a local bakery. Today there were three left and the owner offered to give them to me for $2. I immediately said yes and then as I walked away I realized it wasn't a deal at all. I was paying more per muffin. D'oh!
I've heard the story, and I love how the guy straight-up bought the wrong bridge. EDIT: And before anyone points it out, I have now read the article, and I have discovered that tale to be apocryphal. (And now I look stupid.)
Discovering that my flash drive is dead-at least to my dino-top. I suppose in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter, as I can't remember the last time I even used it. Though I'm confident my CV was on there, so...WTF do I do? I've read at least a dozen guides so far, and none of them have worked. My dino-top will not acknowledge the existence of the flash drive, regardless of what port, whether I've cleaned it, or how I try to look for it through Computer or Control Panel. I would say I'd throw it away, but that won't be good for the environment will it? Anywhere I can take/send it to be destroyed/disposed of safely??
I'm half in the bag and know nothing about computer hardware, but I vaguely remember something about freezing memory sticks to recover them. I haven't told you to do anything, and I'd advise you to ignore that advice anyway, so caveat preemptador.
Welll Yeah. There are many other impossible things I could advise you never to do, so just don't do them, okay¿
Update: finally got my package and amazon sent me this great big, mostly empty box containing two small items. The un boxing was quite amusing.
I didn't sleep well last night. Good thing I'm in that online college, or I might have to actually do some schoolwork today. Of course, I had to use my own coffee-pot because it's "immoral" or whatever to drive when tired. --- Yay! My shame has motivated me to do schoolwork. Thanks, World Whinging Thread.
I stopped off at a grocery store on my way home from work tonight. While I was line at the checkout lane, a random woman walked up to me, said ‘I like your hair’, and walked away. I’m a little conflicted as to if I should have said thank you, or called for security.
You don't need a dishwasher if you have a dog! Just put the plates on the floor and watch the miracle happen!
I read somewhere that slugs can perform the same service, even with badly burned on food I haven't tried this.
