@BobLawblot?

Or maybe they don't have much confidence in my particular postman.
Is this your Postman?

So Apple texted me to tell me my package is being delivered today. Interception plan is go!

Hopefully your delivery driver is not using Apple Maps. If they are, your package is gone in to the ether.

Package safely intercepted and stored under the bed :)

Does it say "Apple Distribution Center" on the shipping label? I MUST KNOW IF MY GUESS WAS CORRECT.
-
Husband says no. No branding whatsoever, it's very generic.
But he did get a flyer from a local shop offering to teach him how to "Jingle her bells"

You've done it again, and seem to have missed my point. May I present a pictogram of my point...

I thought that was what you were getting at originally, but then I tried it to confirm and ended up at amazon.co.uk. I guess Chrome redirects.
edit: And in Firefox. ISP does the redirect then, maybe.

Breakage you have to opt out of 2 (ass-pull) years after serendipitously finding out you've been opted into all this time isn't "optional."
-
That said, I probably should have remembered that I opted out of that more than 2 years ago and pointed you in that direction to start with.... Maybe.
-
-
Maybe not but it's easy to turn off once you've found the option.

Therein lies the problem. If you don't know it's happening, is it really - technically - optional?
-
ITYM 58thstate.
You've been hanzo'd by 54th:
I thought it was amazon.co.54thstate.

Naw, I saw that. Remember Candidate Obama's 57th state misspeak? That was my riff on the usual 51st state joke.
-
Technically probably not. Meh. Not my problem anymore.

Actually, I try to forget that we have such an idiot for president. I still can't believe people voted for him twice.

Well, when your entire menu basically goes as "Idiot 1" "Idiot 2" "Idiot 3" and so on...either that, or it's something in D.C. that turns people into idiots. My vote, sadly, is for the latter...

QFT. Seems all the knowledgeable people get drummed out early by the process.

Today, President I Ended The Wars In Iraq and Afghanistan wants an open-ended AUMF. Specifically, he, through his sockpuppet John "Why the Long Face" Kerry, said he doesn't want a 3-year limitation or a limitation to only act in two countries (I forget which, and it doesn't matter.)
I hope every damn peacenik who voted for him chokes on that.

Really? (I haven't gone through today's news yet). Sigh. What a couple of clowns.
-
Really?
"And while Kerry defended the administration's refusal to outline the confines of the conflict, he also took issue with the boundaries imposed by congressional proposals. If you didn't want Congress micromanaging the war, the senators responded, you should have told us what you wanted in the first place.
Kerry testified at a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee--which he used to chair--telling members that an Authorization for Use of Military Force should include no restrictions against the use of ground troops and should not limit operations to Iraq and Syria, as the plan proposed by committee Chairman Robert Menendez does."

It's fun looking at how the people used certain points (like drone strikes) to criticize Bush, then Obama is even worse with those points.

The Democrats are not the ones I meant. For all the myriad faults of the Republican party, at least most of them mostly pretend to want to maintain the Constitutional Republic. The Democrats cannot even make that weaksauce claim.
-
I want to support the system, but when you can stand and talk for a long time to determine legislation, I find it weird. So I have a hard time telling which party acts like adults, since both do that.

Speaking of notifications and tracking, etc, am I the only person who thinks that USPS tracking is completely useless most of the time?
UPS isn't much better.
Wed (am): package arrives at depot [arrival scan]
(ohh! I'll work from home! ... nada)
Thu: 3a: [Destination scan], back dated Wed11a note [still on truck]
(ok, better, WFH again. no tracking update - fine, 7p grocery store)
Fri am: [status from Thu6:50p, signature required, will try again]
(wait, what? fuck.)
Fri am: [out for delivery]
(yeah! WFH. ... nope)
Sat am: [Fri status changed, s/out for delivery/destination scan/]
(WTF?)
Mon am: [no status change, email received: expected delivery 12:30p - 4:30p]
(yea! WFH. ... nope .. ok, this is getting old)
Tue am: [3a 'out for delivery', also email 'sorry, we had to reschedule. Expected Tu 12:30p-4:30p]
(Ooookaaay... WFH again. Package delivered at 7p)

There was an implicit "some of the time" in my original statement.

i wish i could plausibly deny it.
in my defense, if such it can be called, i almost never end up going to a .co.uk domain that isn't already bookmarked and so auto completes long before i get to the .registrar part
-

Possibly. Certainly honest ones do. To be honest would require saying things that are unpopular, which is a barrier to getting elected.
