You can't send stuff at a "normal" priority. If UPS accepted a letter (as opposed to a package) saying it'll be there in a few days they would get sued.
Why exactly would they get sued? Customers are presented several shipping options.
Private companies can only deliver letters when they are doing it at a time-frame USPS can't match.
UPS or FedEx can deliver a letter whenever the customer chooses and agrees to pay for as long as it fits within the description of the service purchased.
The USPS will deliver on Sunday if purchased.

Yes, but even if the kid is on a schedule, the schedule may interfere with whatever they are doing, such as being in your class. Also, if the kid is having a growth spurt, sometimes they will want to feed spontaneously, off their regular schedule. Or maybe the kid was feeling cranky at the previous feeding and didn't each as much and therefore needed to feed again ahead of schedule. There's a million reasons why the kid may need to eat during your class. And as long as she feels comfortable feeding the kid in public, why should you judge her.
I wasn't judging anyone. But since you brought it up, if you do something in PUBLIC don't get all butt hurt if someone disagrees with it.
My wife and I have two kids . . . I know full well how things can get off schedule. I was simply implying that people CAN plan for things.
What's your point? If she pulled out a bottle it would have been ok?
I never once said it wasn't ok. I simply commented that if you're going to pull out the boob that doing it on the front row might not be the best place to do it. Use some common sense.
What's the difference?
The difference between a boob and a bottle? Do I really need to respond to this?
It was only an issue because YOU decided to view it as such.
Did I was say it caused a problem for me at the time? Did I once say I asked to stop? Nope. I was simply posting my experience as it related to the topic.
I didn't ask her to move, and never said she wasn't allowed to sit anywhere.
No she can't choose when the kid wants food, but it really isn't that hard to get a kid on a schedule. This wasn't a 6 month old. He was about 16 months old.
I was teaching a class about 14 years ago and there were moms, dads and kids around . . . so this lady sitting on the front row decides to pull out a boob and start feeding her kid. She wasn't all that pleasant to look at so it wasn't too distracting, but I felt it wasn't the best time/place to do it. Move to the back and do it where you're not the center of attention.
Face it, there are some people nobody wants to see nekkid.
I'm sure he knew that it wasn't the smartest move to watch questionable videos while at work . . . but he probably felt like the rules didn't apply to him as the CEO.
Your workplace typically has far, far more bandwidth than your home, and a decent proxy server, and often has better computer screens and video cards than people who pay for home hardware can afford.
True, but it also has a higher number of users who also want to use the bandwidth, not to mention the fact that there's a better chance others will see what you're watching on your larger monitor while at work. The workplace also tends to have a range of firewalls and filters that serve as a bottle-neck and a higher number of restrictions on what you can and cannot do the network.
While not Google Earth, as a county government we look at our own aerial photos (added to a GIS layer) to find unpermitted structures as well (mostly just to get them on the tax books - if someone builds without a permit we often have no idea that the structure exists, so it goes untaxed).
I've never understood this. I paid taxes on the materials when I built it . . . why must I continue to pay property taxes on it?
I get paying taxes on a home, but on an external garage or shed? That seems just a little excessive.

Really? I assumed folks had already started the "let's blame Bush" chant . . . . go figure.
Was her lawyer blonde too?

Did I mention mailboxes anywhere in my initial post?
Wow. Some of you people are finicky.
No, they can't deliver standard first-class main. They can deliver stuff with "special" priority like "overnight".
I know that they can't deliver first-class mail, but the general public can still choose to send a letter via FedEx or UPS if they want.
And I know that they can't deliver to mailboxes.
I was simply pointing out that the USPS isn't the only option available for sending stuff.
UPS and Fedex can't deliver letters?
If somebody makes a good point, indignantly insist that he said something else. American debate at its finest.
Or attack them for it . . . apparently that's a good debate tactic as well.
Really? I'm so hurt.
"Insightful" . . . right.

Why even take the chance?
Really? Name a few.

Crap being the key word here.
I thought people used Facebook because they did NOT want to talk in person, but rather receive information in an asynchronous....
That's an odd assumption to make about millions of people on a service with a popular chat service and mobile phone apps.
Online chat = talking to a person?
Sure . . . put it on my tab.
Doesn't part of the taxes go to the locale and not all just to the state in most cases?
DOH! So I'm still paying multiple times . . . once when I buy and then each year. Awesome!

What if they used it for increasing your property taxes?
