Will I ever use egg saver shipping on newegg.. so I go and buy me a SSD because I hear how good they are and I pay $99 and free shipping which has always been 4 days or less until now.. today I am on my 8th day waiting for the damn thing and I call up usps and they tell me they don't see it in their system.. so either some bastard stole it or they just straight up don't give a fug about delivering mail anymore.. so yeah I am pissed because I was supposed to get it on my birthday..

USPS sucks ass for delivering packages...

Which sucks because priority mail is by far the cheapest shipping service. And yeah, once more plants close next year we're really going to be screwed.

That said (knock on wood) I haven't had any real problem with packages I send out through USPS getting delivered...but still.

We've had problems getting hard drives at work too (not SSD though). Evidentially the kind (Western Digital, 320GB, SATA) that comes in our standard desktops have been pushed out until 2nd quarter 2012 before they'll ship anymore. Somthing about some big flood that happened in tailand.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
