For me this is forever the furry transfem

The joke is that this is the best representation of a Fourier transform you're ever likely to see.

I've for years known a little about it, but still felt like it's magic.

I took 10 seconds looking at this image and thought, "Oh, that makes sense."

TBH that channel has a good video for everything STEM. Anything they missed, Brady Haran or Kurzgezaagt covered.

Wouldn't it be "koo-yay?"

I had a vendor ship me a hard screen protector for a phone in a plastic bag envelope. It arrive shattered because it had zero stiff packing around it.

UPS in my area offers the service of adding ventilation holes to any packages that I receive. Once, the product even fell out, and I received an empty mailing tube. Good times.

UPS or the UPS store? Also there are some morons that do not know how to pack a box, like some Amazon employees or other shippers. There are also some that do not care if their product even makes it to the destination. I saw someone horribly seran wrap a tote box, those 12 parcels were held together by dreams.

UPS excels in making square packages round, and round packages square.

do they add ventilation holes after asking you, though?

[–] SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 7 points 4 hours ago

No, it's standard procedure.

sometimes it's not even ups's fault.

we once received a plain sheet of packing paper, about twice the size of an a4/letter sheet, with a shipping label affixed to it.

This speaks to part of me very deeply. Dairy VP-ly.
