I've been visiting Brazil the past couple weeks and this is something I see here, it's so nice to not have to arbitrarily round up prices in my head to figure out the true cost before going to the register. I'll miss that when I get back home.
In layman's terms, they wanna move carriers to sorting facilities to cut down on cost for shipping mail to local offices. This could cause carriers who live in the towns the deliver in, like myself, to drive upwards of 45 minutes to an hour away to a sorting facility (this number is based on what my office's situation would be, could vary office to office). After clocking in and sorting our routes, we would then have to drive back that same amount of time to town to deliver, then drive that far back to return to office.
You can see the issue here, sure you're cutting on transportation costs to local offices, but you're now spending a lot more on carriers fuel in the already inefficient mail trucks to drive back and forth to their routes. We wouldn't get compensated for the milage and time going to and from the new office and it would lengthen our days because of the new drive time. That being said, if that drive time is accounted to our routes, our routes are supposed to be adjusted to 8 hours total time for normal mail volume. Now you're adding that much time, you gotta cut deliveries per route. Now you have to add more routes to compensate, which means paying more salaries to cover said routes. Sure it's good for us as carriers because routes need readjusting anyway, but is not the cost saving measure they think it is.
Edit: Another idea they've had is create regional delivery offices where 3 or more towns are in a single building, but this can cause the same issue, and in some regions it may not be possible due to the distance between offices in highly rural areas such as the Great Plains.
Yes, and that was actually what I wanted from them. They're open enough where I can hear through them at work without having to turn on a transparency mode. They're just my work dirty buds so I don't really care how they sound, just that they work (and they actually work better on Android than native iOS in my experience) and they take calls. Plus they're not built like cheap crap.
I do Active All by default, see what's popping. After i exhaust that I go by all Hot. I have a lot of communities filtered (mainly porn ones) to clean up my feed even though I also am subscribed to several communities. Lemmy is still small enough where I don't feel I need to only see my subs.
Netflix produced a movie called Hush. They made it and it was only distributed on Netflix. They removed it a while back, now the only way to watch it is to pirate it.
Only works on first and second class mail, and just be unopened. I've been doing this for years and I get maybe 1 credit card offer a month. It's now at the point where most of my mail is actually stuff I want/need and only get mail like twice a week.
Not entirely true in my case, I've got an old Inspiron 530 that I have been trying to figure out what to do with. Well it ran Vista from the factory so that's worthless now, so I figured I'd try putting Linux on it. Every single distro I tried installing just wouldn't get past the splash screen. Mint, Ubuntu, Arch (GUI and manual installer), Pop_OS, ChimeraOS, nothing. Trying different USB media writing methods did nothing or made it not even show as a bootable device. Finally got Xunbuntu to work on it and even that took 3 attempts to install.
I've got a more recent HP that was originally Win 7 that did have a much higher success rate and an old Acer laptop that straight up will not boot Linux without a high amount of errors or just completely borked graphics even with multiple distros.
