Wat’s Carbon Water-N-Stuff Thread - Concepts In Iron And Wood!!!

As long as the box contents are rigidly controlled, you will have this problem regardless of what name is on the truck.

Decades ago, when this issue started becoming chronic, I considered the viability of a dedicated shipping company for this product. After a lot of deep research, I came to the conclusion above.

People are basically dishonest and there is no honor among thieves.


I will grant you that people are basically dishonest. If they think there’s a reasonable chance that they will not get caught, they are even more dishonest. And it’s very funny how quickly they will become contrite when they are caught.


We had an episode of that on the board just the other day. Exactly the level of character I expected - none - was exhibited. What a surprise….
 
Obviously you contacted the shipper. I'd say they've got the problem.


I am having better luck with the vendor. They are the ones on the hook for the refund. I told them that they need to sort it out, or shit, or get off the pot. They understood me.
 
He who treads the Path in earnest
Sees not the mistakes of the world;
If we find fault with others

We ourselves are also in the wrong.

Geomagnetic storm​


On 1 and 2 September 1859, one of the largest geomagnetic storms (as recorded by ground-based magnetometers) occurred. Estimates of the storm strength (Dst) range from −0.80 to −1.75 μT.

The geomagnetic storm is thought to have been caused by a coronal mass ejection (CME) that traveled directly toward Earth, taking 17.6 hours to make the 150×106 km (93×106 mi) journey. Typical CMEs take several days to arrive at Earth, but it is believed that the relatively high speed of this CME was made possible by a prior CME, perhaps the cause of the large aurora event on 29 August that "cleared the way" of ambient solar wind plasma for the Carrington Event.

Associated solar flare​

Just before noon on 1 September 1859, the English astronomers Richard Carrington and Richard Hodgson independently recorded the earliest observations of a solar flare.[8] Carrington and Hodgson compiled independent reports which were published side by side in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society and exhibited their drawings of the event at the November 1859 meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society.
 
I just had a very interesting conversation with a woman, and we were in complete agreement on so many things.


We determined that, if people could just stop being so damn self absorbed and inconsiderate and judgemental, then the world might have a fighting chance of not sucking so frequently.


And we agreed that most people are not going to be capable of these things.


Still, it felt hopeful.
 
I was tempted but I already have at least one more .45 than I need.


I heard a man at the shooting range explain that, if you own four of the 1911 models, you were eligible to sit at the right hand of the father.


It would not hurt my feelings to sit at the left hand as well.
