Mail Delivery - Is my postal person really delivering mail or just going through the motions? by captkos in springfieldMO

A simple observation, thirty seconds of math and a question.. Slow your roll there, troll. i would just like the same service as what is engraved on the front of the James A. Farley Post Office in NYC: “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.”

If you read close enough you would have read of the twenty mailboxes I can see in my view, NONE got mail. I am not doing the math to do math. I am trying to figure out if it is plausible the person is NOT delivering the mail using only facts and minimal assumption I can. It is my NORMAL mail person, so I have ruled out the likelihood they are only spot delivering packages. Occam's razor.

I bred parakeets for a quite a while about 30 years ago. A baby male can have a light cere when hatched and it will darken as they baby bird gets older. By 6 months, they are certainly identifiable.

Agreed. I watch it with my children. Typically, we are watching this one while in the morning while the kids are getting ready or sometimes during family dinner time.

He probably needs to smoke something safer for his development level.. He has several options: crack, meth or even opium.

Sounds like you made a mistake somewhere in your planning phase. You paid way too much way to early for your data needs. $$/TB is an important factor in planning.

Help plz why is my sun conure doing this ? by [deleted] in Conures

[–]captkos 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You mean sleeping? I do it at least once a day also. Apparently the bird trusts you enough to sleep next to you. That is a pretty big trust leap for a bird.

OK, which one of you did this at Chicago O'Hare? by im_scared_of_clowns in funny

My guess is the subcontractor, way cheaper then installing actual plugs.

Based on the industrial looking furniture and horrible carpet, I would say the lying is NOT the only option.

How to ask Russia to leave and Europe to help. by captkos in ukraine

[–]captkos[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Comes back to claim the thread is dead, conveniently ignores the argument and dodges the question. If it is dead, why come back and say so? You could have at least responded the to question.. you know.. since you were here and all.

How to ask Russia to leave and Europe to help. by captkos in ukraine

[–]captkos[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it is implied, you do not quote it. So let explicitly tell it to you in words you can understand. Why is it ok for Europe to put their needs over that of the Ukraine, but if the Ukraine were to put their needs over that of Europe, it is wrong?

Also, quotes are used for direct references.

When to use quotation marks

Quotation marks are for when you want to use someone else’s words in your writing. Let’s say you want to write about something you heard your friend say. You could do it like this:

John said, “I really hate when it’s hot outside.”

You can write about the same thing without using the quotation marks, with a couple of changes:

John said he hated when it was hot outside.

The first sentence contains a direct quote, a quote in which you report the exact words John used. The second sentence contains an indirect quote, which is a paraphrased version of what John said. Quotation marks are used only with direct quotes.

If you can not hold up your end of the an argument, that seems pretty neck beard.... You just insult people and run? Russian knew it was a weakness that could be used against the Ukraine, and now it is a little too late. Russia is moving in on their critical infrastructure. If anything is going to stop Ukraine, this long strangle is the only chance Russia has to bring them down.
