Why does every damn website want to send me notifications? NO, no one wants your popups! Quit asking!

Amazon in the US has pretty good benefits, though, and even the temp workers had forty hours a week to start with. Even with minimum wage, that's pretty good pay.

Oh, the turnover rates are high here as well.

Amazon.com and .ca, on the other hand, can be pretty terrible. I know from your squawkbox posts that you guys have your issues with Amazon over there, although you're lucky to have stronger government regulations and a union there. I gather the warehouse workers in the USA and Canada have it pretty crappy, with very high turnover, close to minimum wage pay, and no unions

Amazon.de doesn't really have the same issue. I've ordered from them (and UK, FR, IT and JP) several times, and their packaging is much better

I'm not sure how it works on the customer's end. As packers, we sometimes have items that are flagged as "overwrap", which means we absolutely have to put them into a box even if they're already in pretty sturdy manufacturer packaging.

Yeah, I really do wish amazon had an option to upgrade packaging for an extra buck or something. I hate their bubble mailers

That's how it works. I just hope my order from Amazon doesn't arrive crushed because they idiotically stuffed it in an envelope.

my walmart is acting true to form. as soon as mirage arrives from amazon, my walmart gets his entire wave in after months of having wave 1 clogging the pegs....

I stirred up some trouble at work, complained about the blatant neglect of employee safety. Was asked to take photos and write down the locations so the matter could be properly escalated. Made me feel a little better.

I got stabbed in the eyelid by a mudwasp, pulled down a tree, and then got ice cream. You know, all told: not a bad day.

your mom.

What's your favorite Paleolithic megafauna?

Together with the Rhino G1 sets, probably the most expensive DVDs I ever bought

I've still got the age-old Rhino sets

i didnt find that at any of the ones around here, so i had to settle for seasons 1 and 2 of duckman for $3

Heck, I got the season 2/3 set for $3 (?) from a Dollar General discount bin

The series is pretty cheap on DVD, too, which at least will work internet or no. The complete series set seems to be OOP, but there's a Season 1 set as well as a combined 2 & 3 set.

Woot! Beast wars!

Yay! Tubi now has the first season of Rescue Bots and the full run of Beast Wars FINALLY available.

Just like me in a game of Civilization. Don't have gunpowder? Time for your cities to burn.

He dubbed the peoples that saw him as bad news cannibals and savages before enslaving and wiping them out too.

And if they had been unfriendly: he would have simply slaughtered them with diseases they couldn't fight, and technology they couldn't match until they as a people did not exist. There's something about european backgrounds that drive us to exploit.

He described the peoples he encountered as some of the most friendly and giving in the world, so naturally, he ate all their food, enslaved them and put them to work looking for gold that did not exist, until they as a people did not exist.

he landed by coincidence in front of long-term residents.

He said the world was round-o! (He said the world was round-o!) He said it could be found-o! (He said it could be found-o!) That hypothetical, calculated, son-of-a-gun, Columbo! (That hypothetical, calculated, son-of-a-gun, Columbo!)

In the year 1492, Columbus gave us the day off skoo

How often do people actually celebrate Columbus or the Pilgrims? Usually it just feels like celebrating the first break in the school year and a nice dinner with the family.

You've got like two more weeks until the american thanksgiving. Canadian thanksgiving is literally a harvest festival.

Hey, everyone. Come together to enjoy this national holiday made to celebrate a mass-murderer who never set foot in the USA. What fun!

that's perfect!

A school-bus combiner called Valedictorion.

Honor-Roll

I like that one.

Oh, how about Dropout?

Hey Everyone I'm beginning to put together The TF Roll Out Short Hot Rod's Presentation!

Truant.

Haslab Unicron may change the direction of Cyberverse or the netflix series.

Bluecheesewagon

Those are too friendly--what if he was a Decepticon?

Cheesewagon

Bus-Top has a very GoBot vibe

I actually never heard of the name Megalodon until recently.

Bus-Top, Omnibus, Cerebus, Busicus, Busicon

Otto

Frizzle

Crankshaft?

What's a good name for a school bus Transformer?

Huh. There's a neat name for Beast Hunters Sharkticon Megs.
