Yea so? I'll see your anecdote with the dozen or so unexpected deliveries I've received in the past few months.
How do you reasonably protect yourself from an expected package that turns out to be contraband?
Anway, that was some horrific police work (and don't get me started on cops busting into a home and shooting pets). Your article speaks way more to the need for police accountability and the need to end our ridiculous war on plants than anything else.
Every Lenovo I have used at work in the past 2 years has put out this super high pitched sound. Like the sound you could hear from an old tv. It drives me absolutely out of my mind to the point where I have to wear headphones when using one.
This is hardly specialized knowledge but in 24 after every commercial break we were treated to a digital clock displaying the current time. They were using some digital clock number font that was not monospaced so the numbers spread and shrink right in front of you as the clock "ticks", which of course would never happen on a real clock face.
I would buy the public service line if more then half of our mail didn't go straight into the trash. I am excited when I see a Fedex box on the door step. Not so much when I see a mail box full of junk addressed to current resident.
Alas, the junk is why they only expect to lose B$238 instead of B$500. Well, I can only speak for Canada, but up here they get a huge amount of revenue from delivering junk mail. I sympathize with you, there's so much of the stuff that I am tempted to place a blue recycling bin marked "Current Resident" on my door step with a slot in the side for mail :-)
I can only guess that all that junk works. And I suppose it does... I keep the ones for local restaurants that deliver what may be good food...
True, commerical mail seems to be their main business. I've heard of supervisors get mad at letter carriers who have too many households who don't wish to receive flyers and ads. And there doesn't seem to be any way to refuse "Adressed Admail" except by contacting the company that sends it.
Something the post office could do is to leverage their local infrastructure and work with the couriers. If I miss a UPS delivery, and have to ask nicely to get a 2nd delivery attempt. Picking up the package at the local post office would be a lot easier for everyone.
I guess I don't understand what you are saying here. I'll assume you aren't blaming the USPS for your junk mail. Are you suggesting they should raise their rates? That would raise more money and reduce the incentive for "snail mail spammers."
