    and just a day later, I see this.

    The USPS, the undisputed champions of doing it wrong.

    3 shipments from 3 different places and all 3 are, as of right now, somewhere unknown. How is that even possible!?!

    Wha.....haven't you seen MIB? they're all aliens.......I retired from USPS after 37.9 years. I've seen a lot of changes and a lot of expansion, cutbacks and progress, but the one thing that has always been a key factor in "why is this so messed up?" is that you get the wrong person in the wrong position.

    I had four years of higher level and even worked at district level for a year or so and became acquaintances with the district manager (the boss of all bosses district wide) and one day I asked him, "why are some employees allowed to run operations into the ground and sink ships?"

    His answer was simply this, all the employee has to do is qualify for the job, it doesn't matter what kind of **** they are! They screw it up enough and then they talk to me, then a new **** takes their place.

    As a kid, I read a Superman comic book where he moved old cars and steel to the Southern Hemisphere to balance the Earth's weight. I decided to ask Google AI if my memory is correct.
    Here is the Question and Answer.

    notice that the answer above doesn't answer the question, but rather parrots it as fact with no additional details.
    I'd feel good about this, but I am pretty sure that AI is just playing stupid to lull us into a false sense of security. :#

    NASA has another fantastic observation reported that seems to link human ingenuity with the apparent rotation of the planet. According to their studies, construction and operation of China's Three Gorges Dam resulted in a slight, measurable change in Earth's rotation: it slowed it by 0.06 microseconds. The apparent minuteness of this phenomenon is a result of how the water reservoir of the enormous dam redistributes the mass of Earth, subtly acting upon the Earth's rotational motion.

    Good catch on the Superman parallel.
    I scroll past sciencealert.com clickbait because it's consistently based on little to no science/data and ridiculous assertions/conclusions.
    Impressive <> Important
    If you're pointing to sciencealert.com (and its ilk) as an example of doing it (news, media, and science, in this case) wrong, I agree.
    Expect that there will be bumps in the road. Choose to not let them rattle you.

    I saw that too.

    I really wanted AI to find me an actual Superman comic book with the story.

    After all, AI only knows the facts, conjectures, etc "we" provide.

    I wanted the comic book in my hands to read again. I purchased most of my comic books in a Rexall Drug Store in Villa Rica Georgia. We went there after doctor appointments and to get refills of prescriptions. The drug store later was destroyed by a gas leak and multiple people were killed. One of my Sunday School mates was killed. I was in the pharmacy the week before the explosion.

    So I decided to ask AI one more question related to the Superman Comic Book question.

    m3pbaf7pz2cl.png
    _____________________________________________________

    The explosion did have a subsequent impact on me later in life at the age of 17-18, some 5-6 years later.

    The financial strain mentioned by AI caused the city of Villa Rica to strictly enforce speed limits throughout the city and impose exorbitant fines. Villa Rica become known as the "speed trap" town.

    I was 12 years old by 2 days when the explosion occurred. In the late evening one night about 1963, I was pulled over for speeding returning from a visit to see my cousin in Atlanta.

    I had to pay one of those larger than normal fines, but I was still thankful that I wasn't blown up in the gas leak.

    That looks like a strait-up abomination…
