  1. Being in the military doesn't give you the freedom to break the law whenever you please. Had the car owner called the cops, nothing would have come of it. I'm not going to say the car owner was in the right, but I still think the ass beating was deserved. You don't fuck with someone else's car
  2. It seems like most people that I've known to get the flu shot end up with the flu right after
  3. Are they even on the market yet?
  4. I just started in September. I took Myron's spot since he moved to texas
  5. I work for Pitney bowes, the world's largest manufacturer of mail insertion and sorting equipment. I'm an on site customer service rep. Right now I'm at Nationwide's mailing center, but I've also spent a year and a half working with Chase and over 4 years with Citi. I've been around. There are a couple others on here that do the same as me, but at different sites.
  6. Normal mail is dropping off, which is why they NEED junk mail to keep them going. So you are saying one person works 6 days a week to run their one route every day? The way into the post office is to be their bitch until a new route opens up, which means you cover that person's off day and have to be available to cover call offs. And I happen to work in the mailing industry, so I try to keep close tabs on what all is going on to see if I'll still have a job next year.
  7. oh hey look what I just found: http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2011/12/05/postal-service-confirms-cuts-that-will-slow-mail-down/ Senator Durbin kinda proves my point there. He goes out of his way to say he doesn't want to see anything shut down in his home town (full of his voters).
  8. I'm reasonably sure that they are paid by the route, not by the hour, so if they want to screw around and take longer to get home its their problem. Unfortunately that junk mail is what is keeping the post office alive. Even though USPS is supposedly an independent entity now, Clowngress still decides what goes on with them. The USPS could save boatloads of money by shutting down tiny post offices all over the country that could be served by larger offices, but to shut one down requires an act of Congress. They don't want to be accused of killing jobs by doing that, so they are sitting on their thumbs letting it fall apart. The 6 day delivery week means that for every route they have 2 people assigned to a route, one that days 5 days and someone else that covers the 6th. That's a huge waste, cut it to 5 days and you need far less people so instant savings. Change it to a 3 day work week and that will just turn everything into a fight with the union, not really worth it when 5 day weeks keeps the full time employees going as normal. I'm sure theres a lot of other streamlining they could be doing, if they weren't under the thumb of the government. The question is, do you allow them to make the cuts and transitions needed to survive on their own, or just allow them to go on as they are now but subsidize? The mail can't go away, at least not any time soon, and UPS and FedEx aren't set up for letter carrying to every single house like USPS does.
  9. I thought mo was half of the blazer and mo morning show on the blitz. Since he is black, does that mean that he IS racism?
  10. Let me know! I'm sure we can work something out
  11. why would I go and do a thing like that?
  12. Denial isn't just a river in Egypt
  13. negatory, at least in the state of Ohio. For you and the OP, if you haven't yet read this: http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55992 It's not in there now but I'll add that there's no wait here, and I may need to revise the part about shipping. Also, I'm going to go against the grain and suggest a .17HMR Bolt action instead of a Ruger 10/22. My first gun was a 10/22 and it was meh. I probably would have enjoyed it more had I dumped a bunch of time and money into customizing it. I now have a Savage .17HMR bolt gun that I picked up for a steal of a deal on super double clearance at Dick's. It's way more accurate than I could ever hope to be, and just a joy to shoot for being a small bore gun. It's more powerful than a .22 but the downside is its a bit more expensive. But, being a bolt gun instead of a semi auto you are going to put more effort into being accurate instead of just going "Weeeeeeee" and doing mag dumps because you can and it costs next to nothing. It's quiet enough that I shoot it outdoors with no hearing protection and don't care, and has no recoil. Great platform to learn on, still cheap enough, and to me its more fun.
  14. Bump from the grave. I still need to get rid of this, throw a price or trade or whatever at me Right before I replaced it i spent $200 having the heating element and the bearing for the dryer drum replaced, so it's mechanically in good shape
  15. copperhead

    WWCRD?

    Either make the drive out there, or fly out, pick up a $500 beater, and light it on fire the day before you fly back. Roast hot dogs over it with the school kids
  16. Remember to rack a shotgun like a man, not a limp wristed faggot like Not Brian, Jammer of Shotguns
  17. So apple is guilty of using it too, until everyone got caught. At least with android there are ways around it until the manufacturers do the right thing and remove it from future updates
  18. The carriers are sanctioning this. More reason to root and run android built from source code, which at least I have the choice to do
  19. And sorry Gabe, you are but one in a line of many trolls to darken our doorsteps
