Back in time?
-
Ok so from what I understood my package arrived in Indianapolis at 1:02 am. Then it left at 6:49 am. Then it travelled 3 minutes back in time to 6:46 am and teleported to boston. Its not that somebody obviously forgot to scan the package as it was leaving Indiana, so much as the fact that they were able to mark it as arrived in boston 3 minutes prior to marking it as having left Indiana

Where's that mug when you need it?

I can't find the thread, but the explanation for this was explained in a thread. I think they scan the truck in Boston, but don't register the package leaving Indy until the morning after it arrives for some weird reason.
So you're a southie, just like will hunting, eh?

Forget the mug. We need something else for dups.

Will Hunting would never have posted a dup!

Will Hunting would have calculated the physics that allowed for the package to jump from Indianapolis to Boston in -3 seconds for real.

That would be why I didn't find it. That post was about fedex, not ups.

Oh, no way! Xanadu?! +10 bonus points for coolness if so!!

I had that happen to me with Fedex once. My package was travelling west, though, and appeared to go back in time as it took less than an hour to cross time zones going from its Kentucky stop to its Illinois stop. Of course, the Real WTF there is that the timestamps were in each depot's local time. I can't figure out how it happens going east, though, unless Indiana's time zones are even weirder than I thought.

Depends how weird you think they are. Up until 2 years ago Indiana had 3 different time zones across the state.
-
The thing that I think is weird is that none of Arizona observes DST except the Navajo Indian Nation. Indiana is weird in that the split isn't even close to uniform. It's just the two corners on the west border. I've never seen a place where the time could change to another zone and then back again simply by driving north or south.

TRWTF is DST. Can we just get rid of this nonsense already?

But how would we save energy without a government mandated springing forward and falling back?

Bah, a lot of Southie is now young adults (25-35) living post-grad. It's losing it's edge.
