This means you're actually in hong kong currently but don't yet realize it
Or will be in short order.
They've been constructing a very powerful catapult, your package will be launched at the correct trajectory tomorrow morning. Please ensure you have a net positioned at the correct coordinates to avoid any damage.
Although a funny idea, this could never work.
Now, if it was a trebuchet...
If the package get enough speed to make it, I think the package would need a heat shield !
I’ve long humored the idea of ballistic fried chicken.
Fired from a giant cannon, friction cooks it to perfection on its way to you. Sadly, the math and materials science just aren’t on my side. You’d need to be very precise to avoid overcooking, or accidentally pulping the chicken with too high of a muzzle velocity (because then you just have a soup gun). And like, you’d have to have some sort of sabot that disintegrates into edible spices.
Even if you could figure out delivery (and not wind up with it arriving embedded with smog or STARLINK satellites) there’s still the matter of receipt without destroying homes.
You would need to gradually speed up the chicken, and keep it there for quite some time.
Spin launch. You put your chicken in a centrifuge and spin it up to something like 1500 miles per hour with an open cockpit. Then after a few minutes of ablative cooking you release the capsule towards your intended victim.
I suspect an air fryer might give you better results though.
I highly encourage avoiding Shop(ify) as the owner is trying to start a Project 2025 mimic project in Canada.
I have been trying, but there are multiple small shops I like using it that I can't avoid.
You can't fight it all, all the time. Arguably patronizing a small shop through Shopify is much better than patronizing Amazon.
This is a good read on the topic.
I once had a package marked as having arrived despite never moving past the "shipping label printed" stage. But the company did send me a second one, and then a week later the first one arrived too and they told me to keep it.
You get to keep anything mailed to you, in America at least. A century ago, scammers would mail goods and then invoice the target. Congress said fuck all that noise, if a business ships you a thing, it's yours, no questions asked.
I had a package ship UPS out of Hong Kong recently too. Took a while to get out (I honestly thought it was going by boat) but once it did it was pretty quick. I'm guessing there's a big holiday backup right now.
Do UPS use the windows file copy dialog method of time estimation?
Definitely. UPS and DHL do this. They dont know what happens when a package leaves the countryf origin.
Yea, they only get scanned at certain points, so youll have no idea where it is when its between them. Long distance like this and usually customs is when your packages disappear.
Misleading post. OP bought a teleporter.
This guy's package:
Fucking shop app
Looks like you're using ups. Try a 3rd party tracker. (Sorry i can't remember the name of one - its been years since I had something shipped from out of country.)
I've had success in the past tracking that way.
It's called 17track.net
Did you chek lap kok?
Yeah, if your package is missing, that's the first place to look
