Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

WW2 jeeps had fold down windshields but the Davy Crockett didn't exist then. I'd guess they had them so they could be folded down and covered to eliminate reflections of the sun that would give the jeep's location away. Oh and they didn't have air conditioning.

 

I always thought they folded down for easier packing/shipping

There were many days that, had I been armed, a server or router would have caught a bullet.

This is simply proper planning. When the printer starts acting up, the LAST thing you want to do is go looking for your pickaxe.

 

Saw the aftermath of biker vs delivery truck...truck was on its side, i assume the biker either impacted the truck and it flipped trying to avoid it or he ran the guy over...and flipped, either way the biker was deceased at the scene

 

l'm almost in tears over this, WTF is wrong with people... and he smiles for the camera

They fold down to reduce glare and to keep the glass from breaking when firing the mounted .30 or .50.

 

Saw an SUV on I-85 in GA today with the license plate “ANALY”...

Woman driver. Guess she’s open to all options?

Sorry for the crappy photo.

 

Was she hot?

Asking for a friend...

 

Didn’t get much of a look at 80mph, but seemed to be about the wouldn’t-kick-outta-bed-for-eating-crackers level. Lol.

 

What if your dogs name was Crackers? Then what?

 

Define 'eating'.

 

Doh!

Return to sender; it’s a mail mix up as Twinsburg couple gets 55,000 pieces of mail



CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Dan Cain of Twinsburg grew a bit suspicious when the clerk at the Twinsburg Post Office told him he would not be able to get his mail through the front door of the postal office.

But he was beyond disbelief when he drove around to the back doors and saw a couple of postal workers wheeling out two huge bins of mail that was addressed to his Twinsburg address.

“I was shocked, are you kidding me, who makes that kind of mistake,” Cain said.

As it turns out the College Avenue Student Loan Company made the mistake.

Cain counted 79 plastic bins of mail each containing roughly 700 letters, all exactly the same, a statement for the student loan, he and his wife Dee, had taken for his daughters college tuition.

Thinking he was out of options, it took 2 trips in his truck to get all the letters to his home where they are now sitting in his garage.

The student loan company apologized for the mistake, blaming a glitch in a new outgoing mail system, and his postal carrier later told him he may have been able to tell the clerk at the post office to return the mail.

“I just may start a fire, a bonfire, and burn it all,” Cain said with a chuckle.

To add insult, the statements, all 55,000 of them were incorrect, the company had used the wrong interest rate to calculate the payment.

The company also apologized for that mistake and said, a bit ominously, that they would send another statement.

“I just hope it doesn’t happen again, I might just have to return to sender,” Cain said.

Cain was taking it all in stride although he was wondering how the company was taking the obvious waste of money involved, even with a bulk rate, he believes it must have cost the company thousands of dollars to send all that mail.

 

To err is human, to really fuck up takes a computer.

(edit - that cost over $21,000 in postage alone. Add .20 cents each for the envelope, printing and handling and that is a $32,000 mistake.)

 

If they are buying that many envelopes, they are getting them for probably less than a penny each, printed and delivered.

 

Yeah. I'm sure they either have their own in-house statement print & mail operation or they're outsourcing it. With a big enough operation that nobody noticed an extra 55k outbound pieces, they get paper and envelopes by the truckload.

Big long machines print, collate, and fold the statements, then automatically insert them into and seal the envelopes, spitting them out to be stacked into USPS trays. Usually printed by zipcode - post office gives a break on postage if pre-sorted.

Good old funny line - yet still, the computers simply follow the instructions given them -- somewhere along the line a human screwed up.
