Mail as a public service is important, specifically.

Supposedly waking up with the sun is healthier than waking up in the dark, but I agree with you, I basically never see the sun in winter so it defeats the purpose.

Some people quit really easy, while others will go mad at the thought of it.

My grandpa used to smoke, and one day just put down his last cigarette and never touched it again. Meanwhile, my grandma probably tried to quit 20 times, but the withdrawal was so bad she was never able to quit.

I understand that it's the employees sorting and delivering the mail, but you need to look at the bigger picture and not immediately jump to blame the product of a broken system.

Management sets the working conditions, policies, and provides resources (or sometimes fails to).

Mistakes can often be traced back to issues like understaffing (possibly due to low wages), lack of proper training, or unreasonable expectations - all of which are decisions made by management.

If management practices improve, the overall performance and accuracy of the workforce will likely improve as well.

Get a "no junk mail / no soliciting" sticker, I very rarely receive junk mail now.

The problem is not the workers, but management, which is who the postal union is striking against.

Debian testing is ok for newer hardware, if you're more technically inclined.

People are afraid of what they do not understand. This still holds true here.

And fear leads to hate.

It's my first time getting name brand in a while, but it's possible it's like OEM tires, where the tires that come with your car don't have as much tread as a new tire you bought yourself, even of the same model.

I actually just bought some Panasonic CR2032 and opened the packaging yesterday and I did notice they were heavier 😁
