Reply to comment by Font_Snob in TIL that USPS ships day old baby chicks in the mail by shelovesbackshots
I'm not sure if it was a duckling but I remember one time. My friend who worked at the post office carried a rather large duck to someone. Apparently there was supposed to be a male hold and they were supposed to keep it at the post office but he rushed it to their house first thing. They showed up at the post office while he was at their house so they rushed off to get in. I'm not sure if he stayed with the duck or not.

I'm surprised with all of our computer technology if that is the case that we couldn't get a computer to do it.

I understand why they didn't but I really would have liked it if they had turned the villains up a notch.

Reply to comment by icmonkey123 in When this bridge in Fort Benton, Montana, USA was built 1888 it was required to have a swing span to allow steamboats to navigate. It was considered the furthest navigable point on Earth, more than 2,700 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. by triviafrenzy
The Missouri continues considerably further than that. Does that mean that it's not navigable, or that we've dredged it considerably since then?

Louisiana charges sales tax on food. Freaked me out the first time because I didn't have enough money. I said you charge tax on food??!? The lady looked at me like I had three heads.

Reply to comment by justthisones in Study: The iPhone 14 Pro has faster 5G speeds than any Android phone by chrisdh79
Won't keep the Apple fanboys from spending another $1,300 on it. I actually turned 5G off on my phone because there is a huge carrier dead spot right near my house that I have to drive through almost every day. It's really embarrassing, especially when you pay as much money to a carrier that rhymes with horizon. I'm told there are a lot of major carriers that are actually setting up 5G towers that are connected to anything, so it tricks your phone into thinking that it has service when in actuality. It's like your modem was unplugged but your router was still on.

Reply to comment by teneggomelet in LPT: Count the number of Trick or Treaters that come to your door. It’ll help with buying candy next year. My dad kept a tally for decades. Now my sibs and I do the same. Knowing we had 63 kids in 2021 helped to decide how many bags of candy to buy. by gladysk
Grew up that way. We had one trick-or-treater in 10 years. It was dark too. My dad went fish that guy out of king size from my mom's smore stash

Reply to comment by 99badwolfbaloons in LPT: if you’re trick or treating with a child with food allergies, bring your own candy! by 99badwolfbaloons
I like that. My daughter is a type 1 diabetic. She went trick or treating. At a closed event this year And she picked out maybe 20 of her favorite candies to ration over the course of a week. She'll get more and do the same thing but then she just gives the rest to her brothers.

That's the digital speedometer thing. I think every car that I've owned has had an analog speedometer as well that had MPH on top and KPH underneath. I normally use the digital readout for something else.
