    I need somewhere to complain and this thread will have to do.

    Amazon switched their delivery service in my area and because this delivers service won't leave your packages with neighbors and I'm not home during the day everything I ordered from Amazon last week got flagged as undeliverable and were returned to Amazon.

    This always happens with this particular delivery service and it is bullshit that Amazon won't let you choose with service you want to use.

    everyone says it's a farming thing but the more reasonable explanation I've heard is that it actually has a net benefit for saving electricity

    The farming thing is bullshit anyways because, having grown up in a farming community, I can tell you that farmers give exactly 0 fucks about what time the clock says in relation to where the sun is in the sky.

    Hello, french journalist.

    I didn't send you the high res image you were asking for because the item is currently out of stock for awhile. Driving people to the site for that would be silly. Telling me that "The <REDACTED> can be find in another web site... but can you please send me the high rez visual anyway?" is even sillier.

    I'm not sending you our high res photography so you can give sales to another site. No.

    Sorry, Pierre.

    Does your area have amazon lockers? Seems like a neat service, they've started to put them in 7-11s in the area, which is pretty dang cool.

    Today I was reminded of how conservative the corporate workforce tends to be. I got to work a little after the other guys I'm working with today (had to take my little brother to school) and when I get into the meeting room they're all talking about how the "liberal media" is the only thing fighting against guns and then compared all of their guns.

    We had a break halfway through the morning, and what are the talking about when we get back? Gun accessories!

    At a wild guess it stems from when artificial lighting was expensive (and possibly more dangerous? I'm not sure), so it made sense for people to try and fit as much of their work into the daylight hours as they could.

    Traditional daylight saving was invented as a solution to a candlewax shortage.

    Modern daylight saving was invented by a dude who loved golf and wanted to get in a full 18 holes after work.

    We probably burn enough electricity to offset the entire rest of the country, just from running the AC in our house for an extra hour in the summer.

    The machines and the average user that messes them up.

    Mostly the machines since they are prone to screwing up than any other device I've had the hassle of fixing.

    Hi Lucas,

    How are you going with [important issue that hasn't been quite as important as the other things I've been dealing with for the last 6 hours]? The project would like these to be deployed today so we do need these done with some urgency.

    Kind regards,

    So they're responsible for that Moves Like Jagger song...

    I don't know if I can blame Adam Levine for making shitty pop music

    I'm pretty convinced that dude is some sort of musical genius, and he used that genius to make impossibly penetrative, money-making pop music.
