Amazon Wants To Make Sure Your Tiny Purchase Has Lots Of Breathing Room During Shipping
it takes a lot of walking to get items and package and ship so they are more likely to get a ton of the most popular box size then pack almost all items with it when possible.
Boston Burrito Joint Sics Its Social Media Community On Robbers In Surveillance Footage
I did a security camera setup for a friends business, most security cameras are low resolution, so to capture facial detail, you need to get a closeup. My solution was to have 1 higher end camera with a more zoomed in lens to be placed at about 7 feet high at a distance to capture facial detail of everyone walking in the door.
the IR LED is disabled on the camera, and in place are a few small IR LED panels to provide some indirect lighting at night. Direct IR lighting will cause faces to be overexposed.
when setting up a security camera system, make sure at least 1 of the cameras can capture a good amount of facial detail. The rest can be lower cost cameras as you only then need enough detail to tell the people apart and see what they are doing.
PS hitting a camera does not break it, even if the outer casing is smashed, there are very few components in the camera housing and they are mostly connected to each other using wires and not a large piece of PCB.
TSA Can't Tell The Difference Between A Gun & An Insulin Pump
You can cause a lot more damage to someone with an insulin pump than with a nail clipper. At least with the insulin pump you can beat someone over the head with it.
Here Are The Tattered Remains Of An Attempt To Mail Some Textbooks
If you purchase car and insurance and you order the cheapest package which is only liability insurance, thus damages to your car are not covered. and because of that, the CEO of the company comes to your car bashes it with a sledge hammer for an hour. Who is responsible for the cost of the damage, you or the person who took a sledge hammer to it?
(in the current works, the person who causes the damage is responsible for the cost (check out a show just the peoples court or any other live court show with real cases) If you damage something then you are responsible for the damages
Shipping insurance is for if something happens to the item after it has left USPS care, eg the postal worker leaves your package in the rain and your book gets completely soaked.
It shouldn't matter if you have insurance or not when the damage is clearly caused by them.
Imagine starting a daycare service using the USPS terms of service
"We will take care of your kid for the day but if you don't want us to use him or her as a punching bag, you must pay extra"
You should not be required to pay extra in order to have a company do their job correctly, the original purchase price cover getting the item from point a to point B unharmed, what ever happens before point A and after point B where the package is not in USPS care is what the insurance should cover. With it is in their care, then the original shipping cost should cover it's getting to where it needs to go and remain unharmed within their system. If they cant do that then they should cover the cost of the item as well as the original shipping price as services were not rendered.
Only issue is it is hard to sour any organization that is partly government run.
Thousands Of Floridians Line Up To Remind Us That Not Everyone Has A 52" 3D TV
almost every show had at least 1 commercial where it was announced months in advanced. Most people will tend to think nothing will ever change for them, or thing they have been announcing it for a while and nothing happened so they ignore/ forget about it.
Physics Professor Uses Super Math Skills To Investigate Classic Question Of Generic vs. Brand Name Battery
get the sanyo eneloop batteries, they last longer than any non rechargeable AA battery that I have used, and they hold their working voltage longer so while they may only be 2000mAh, they can run my camera longer than my 2700mAh sony batteries. The same goes with flashlights.
PS the average store bought name brand alkaline battery is only around 800mAh, and the cheap off brand ones will give you around 400mAh or less.
Physics Professor Uses Super Math Skills To Investigate Classic Question Of Generic vs. Brand Name Battery
Overall useless, because it doesn't tell you which is the current best to get. And to figure it out, you don't need high level math, all you need is batteries from all different brands, then measure the capacity of each battery and compare it to the cost of the battery
While ever gives the best cost to power ratio is the best battery.
For rechargeable batteries, you take batteries from each brand, measure the capacity of each (you will almost never get advertised capacity), then measure how many recharges it can handle before failing then compare that to cost to find the best rechargeable.
How About Some Cocaine To Go Along With That Terrorism Textbook You Ordered On Amazon?
Also why do you need a textbook on terrorism? When you combine pure unrelenting stupidity with unwarranted anger, you get terrorism.
There is no way to change them, the best thing to do is find a way to deal with in a way where innocent people don't get hurt along with non-terrorist not getting hurt.
How About Some Cocaine To Go Along With That Terrorism Textbook You Ordered On Amazon?
textbooks are boring, the seller probably wanted to provide a study aid.
also one of the best ways to stop terrorist groups is to give them drugs like cocaine, they will be too high to terrorize and they will get a speedy death.

Starting A Mall-Closing Riot Won't Make Those Cool New Shoes Any Less Sold Out
not true title of article a riot is the most logical way to make a sold out product come back in stock. Haven't you ever encountered a situation where a product was sold out and thought if only we could have a riot, the product would magically reappear on store shelves...
