The official "WTF" thread

There is SO MUCH TO DIGEST here.....
I need just one more tat...over the eye that works so I'll know which one to watch.
The application of WTF here is kind of a WTF was I THINKING-- I could have done something similar back when I built my house... The title of "no heat bill" is not really true, as there are definite costs to the system and upkeep, but this is still really smart...
In my small town, if I send a card in the mail to my neighbor, it gets sent to a town 140 miles away, goes through that processing facility, gets sent back to my town, and re-processed to the correct local mail route driver.

Kind of a shame I can't interview them and ask them what they think of the new green initiative and how that's going. Also, curious to know if they thought they blew the carbon footprint budget with the fire and the response team.

Ditto in Oregon. All outgoing mail from some places more than 200 miles away is trucked to Portland, sorted, and trucked back. They do all of the sorting, down to individual carrier routes, in Portland.

Our packages take similar trips all the time. USPS, is a crap shoot if you'll ever see it or not.

My daughter shared this with us. Apperantly the house belonged to one of their friends, they sold it, I think she said in Sept. last year. New owners had the Powerwall installed, then to find out they have two Tesla vehicles too, haha.
It isn't just Amazon. Back in January a package was sent to me (in Lewisville, NC) from Ashland, VA by FedEx. It was routed to Hagerstown, MD, then to Martinsburg, WV, and then to Middletown, CT. You can drive from Ashland, VA to Lewisville, NC in about 4 hours. In 7 days FedEx managed to move my package to a point that is over 10 hours away from me. By the time it reached me it had traveled 1,228 miles.

Mom unknowingly gives baby X-rated name: ‘That poor child’
She wanted the name to be a sweet nod to her grandparents, Harvey and Charlotte, so she decided to blend the two names together to form ‘Harlotte’.

Probably the only thing in the White House right now with a pair! Seriously though, this is absolute BS that even after the first time, that dog was allowed to stay there. The average Joe? Our dogs would have been put down and us sued.
Something is terribly wrong if his 2nd. dog bites like the first but only more!
That dog has been raised since a pup in the WH unlike the 1st. biter.
I have some questions though.
The color of the people bitten by this dog?
The color of the people that handle the dog when it is not
being baby sited by Joey and Jill?
Believe it or not, dogs can be prejudicial too, picking up signals of the current
owner/ keeper! I have seen black peoples dogs not like white people as well as
white peoples dogs not liking black people. I have even seen dogs transferred to
other owners only to turn opposite of their original temperament.

Don't know if anyone here has AT&T Mobile service like I do but service was down for half the day yesterday. Funny how people react towards someone who has nothing to do with the outage and cannot do anything about it.

Yeah, ours was down in NW AL. Had Wi-Fi calling enabled and was able to make/receive some calls, most likely landline businesses. It was nice to "unplug" for a little while, IMO.Don't know if anyone here has AT&T Mobile service like I do but service was down for half the day yesterday.

I had a flashback to the early 70's thru late 80's when I had to go look for a payphone if on the road and my work pager would beep.
