Total überflüssiges Smalltalkwissen Teil 137
DHL stuft Pakete und Päckchen, deren Oberfläche zu mehr als 1/3 mit Klebeband bedeckt sind unabhängig von der Grösse als "Sperrgut" ein, was dann 10-30€ Aufschlag bedeutet.
Wenn man AUF das Klebeband dann etwas Papier draufklebt, sodass wieder ca. 60% der Oberfläche Papier oder Pappe ist, gehts wieder als Paket oder Päckchen durch.
Hintergrund ist angeblich, dass Klebeband das Packet zu rutschig macht und das in den Sortieranlagen Ärger verursacht.

Es ist schon erstaunlich, dass manche JournalistInnen ihren Ehrgeiz offensichtlich darin haben, egal wie gut etwas läuft, egal wie erfolgreich eine Sicherheitskonferenz ist, kein gutes Haar dran zu lassen. Es sind notorische Nörgler, die wohl glauben, Professionalität bestehe allein darin, alles herunterzumachem.

Why do I feel like Vinge's Singularity really *is* about to hit, but rather than politely advancing to posthumanism and quietly fucking off to infinity, it's instead going to make sure that all actual sources of information get overrun with crap, that everybody in our entire civilization who actually knows anything gets fired from their jobs for being insufficiently productive due to refusing to using AI tools, and then we're just going to drown in this inifinite circle jerk of A…

second time this week i am on my bike signalling to turn right into the narrow lane to the school
waiting for the motorist who is blocking the lane to squeeze their car out on to the road
and the motorist stops and tries to encourage me to go first
