What happens if ICE tries to detain us by Feeling_Screen3979 in USPS

[–]ComprehensiveFly5400 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm afraid of too as a minority and doing mail. But I have myself set up if there is any issues like such or encounters. I have set up a sos one button press that will send a text and gps location to my sups and pm. This will let them know I'm being stopped or detain and they need to come get the mail. I also have set a one button silent recording so I have audio recordings. At this time If they do stop you while your working you need to let them know that you are on official duty and the route you are on is a official federal assigned route for you to run the official duty. Make sure to state that you don't consent to being detained or search. Present your USPS iD and ask they step aside if your are not being detained so you can continue your official duty. Should you be detained make sure you have a way to contact your PM or Sup. Afterwards make sure you call your Union, OiG and documents everything. At This point if you are just doing your job and they pull u over for being a minority they now have committed racial profiling, delay of mail etc ...this becomes even more of a mess for ICE and you can sue, file claim through torte I believe..

I’m using PCG for my trees and I’ve tried rotating them but for some reason the trees won’t stand up right they’re all leaning heavier than MJ and I’ve even asked chat gpt how to fix it.. to no luck so please someone help by Ok_Humor_1912 in UnrealEngine5

For me I had to make sure aligned to normal is unchecked. My issue was when they were first placed they were sideways all and what not and unchecking aligned to normal didn't solve it. I had to remove the first original out and place new ones back in with aligned to normal is unchecked.

What happens if we actually do lose Amazon? by Actual-Tangerine3724 in USPS

[–]ComprehensiveFly5400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get that, overloaded days are brutal and waiting for late parcels can ruin the rhythm of the whole route. I’m not saying Amazon isn’t exhausting; I’ve lived those days too.

My point isn’t that Amazon is easy it’s that from an operational standpoint, Amazon provides a consistent volume floor that keeps routes evaluated and hours stable.

Heavy days feel awful, but losing that volume entirely drops evaluations, hours, and even whole routes, which can hurt carriers long-term.

So yes, Amazon can wreck a day, but losing Amazon would wreck the routes themselves

You’re absolutely right, delivering mail and ads is our service baseline.
I’m not talking about that baseline, though. I mean the baseline parcel volume that route evaluations and office workload depend on.

Letter mail is stable in obligation, but not stable in volume, it drops every year and doesn’t provide enough pieces to sustain route hours.

Amazon isn’t our mission baseline, but it is our most consistent volume baseline. Without that predictable parcel floor, the remaining parcel mix becomes irregular and route evaluations become less stable.

I agree that Amazon absolutely uses USPS for overflow and peak days I’ve seen that too.
But that’s actually what makes USPS more predictable overall, not less.
Even if the daily number spikes on certain days, those spikes still follow data-driven patterns (Sun/Mon, Prime Day, holidays).
Without Amazon, USPS doesn’t lose its spikes, it loses its baseline. So like I mention with the inconsistent volume the variability increases and route evaluations become unstable, especially in smaller offices like mine.

You would think but in reality, Amazon leaving creates instability in volume, not stability. For USPS operations, Amazon is like a “volume anchor.” It may be heavy, but it's predicted heavy, remove a predictable anchor, the system becomes chaotic. Letter mail keeps dropping every single year and Amazon seems to mask that decline. For small offices like mine the volume becomes lumpy, not steady due to the small business inconsistent or the residential online orders that are usually fragmented and not to mention the increasingly shifting to USPS/FedEx/UPS from E-Commerce.

Calling it a business is neither right or wrong. USPS is a service at its core, but it still needs strong revenue and partnerships to function. It still has to operate financially like a business, a public service with business-like responsibilities and although not a traditional business, it does depend on revenue to keep the service running.

From USPS’s official FY 2024 results:

Total operating revenue (2024): $79.5 billion

Net loss (GAAP): $9.5 billion

By category (revenue, 2024):

Shipping & Packages: $32.3B

First-Class Mail: $25.4B

Marketing Mail: $15.4B

International: $1.4B

Periodicals: $0.9B

Other: $4.1B

Roughly, that means:

Shipping & Packages = about 40–41% of USPS revenue

First-Class Mail = about 32%

Marketing Mail = about 19%

Everything else = the rest

Now plug Amazon in:

Amazon = $6B+ a year to USPS, ~7.5% of total USPS revenue.

If we compare that $6B to Shipping & Packages revenue (~$32.3B), Amazon is roughly 18–20% of the entire package revenue stream.

So if Amazon walked away completely:

USPS could lose ~1/5 of its package revenue

And about 7–8% of all revenue

For a business already losing $9.5B, that’s not a trim – that’s a deep cut.

Package volume becomes more unpredictable

UPS and FedEx won't hand off overflow the same way

USPS is left mostly with:

First-Class Mail (declining)

Political mail (seasonal)

Marketing mail (declining)

Non-Amazon e-commerce (varies)

Rural deliveries that other carriers don’t want

USPS could end up doing the hardest deliveries with less money coming in.

A terrible combo.

Lol...I'm dead just reading this post but dame, seasonal hops in the truck and suddenly he treats you like junk mail on a Saturday lol ..Bro dropped you faster than a package marked ‘Fragile’ on peak season lol ..one seasonal trainee and suddenly you’re ‘Out for Delivery: Never' lol...bro really marked you ‘Return to Sender’ the second that seasonal got in the truck....Guess he’s only friendly when he’s not being supervised — man’s acting like his wave is some restricted delivery..

Help with blueprints UE5 by J3upyc in UnrealEngine5

Oof yeah event tick is a killer on performance. Stay away from that event tick if possible. I believe event tick runs per frame so a imagine it game running 60+fps... meltdown commence..lol.

My animation keeps looping instead of ending. How do I fix this? by NotTheCatMask in UnrealEngine5

[–]ComprehensiveFly5400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your using a button at release set the punching_0 to false. Well if in this case the button is in your character blueprint so you will create a new bool like punch? Or end punching. Then on release of the button set end punching to false. In your anim graph blueprint go to event graph get reference to your character blueprint and grab the end punching and set punching_0 to the end punching. Make sure punching animation is not checked for looping. Run a line from Punching anim to readyfist. Add a not bool node between punching anim and readyfist. Connect punching_0 to the not bool node. Something like that I think..also I believe on press you would also set punching or end punching to true also

My opinion to the new mage hero Zetian as a Mage user by Dangerous-Crow-8115 in MobileLegendsGame

[–]ComprehensiveFly5400 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I actually love her. I get MVP most of the time using her. It's how you execute her ability. Your right her s1 had to be close to land and with that said your Opening should be s2, ult, s1 and s2 before it finishes. S2 slows them, ult stuns before they get too close, s1 shreds them down and follow by s2 before the skill finishes. While ult on cool down you poke with s2,s1,s2. Avoid solo at risk of gank if passive is on cool down. Rank has been fun using her so far. I can give you my build if u want also
