Why did my package now go to Kansas City?

It has now traveled over 1500 miles, at least 24 hours on the road, and passed through 5 states, on it's way from Des Moines to Omaha, about 165 miles.

If the tracking on my @Amazon package is to be believed (and I don't), it has traveled 1,347 miles and passed through 4 different states, and is currently less than 10 miles from its origin point.

Aaaaand @Amazon loses another package.

At 6:20 it showed as transferred to carrier at the local post office.

One hour later it shows as transferred to carrier in a city on the other side of Iowa, 300 miles away.

The mailman taking the scenic route? (In his rocket car?)

Hey @Amazon, the Apple Music Alexa skill is SERIOUSLY broken this evening. Half the songs I'm asking for can't be found, even stuff that should definitely be there, like Poison by Alice Cooper.

What the hell, @Amazon, this is a "new" book? The corners are bashed to hell and the cover is broken. This isn't shipping damage, this is a used book you're trying to pawn off as new.

@AyalaDeer I can only imagine what the Cars version of the scooter from Quadrophenia would look like...

@Fuzimir Tomato is one of the French mother sauces, but it's literally just called "sauce tomate". Tomato soup appears to be just "soupe à la tomate".

Most of the tomato soups that have a unique name are unique soups, like gazpacho, which is prepared and served cold.

@RiseFallNickBck I love how this joke has literally been around for decades.

@TheKinkyTurtle You might have an outdated block list.

I'm not sure how AdBlock Plus does it, but in uBlock Origin you can go into your block lists, select Purge All Caches, then Update Now, and that will force it to update all the block lists. This usually fixes ads slipping through.

@TorinDarkflight I have those in my kitchen. It's just as bright as the original florescent tubes. They've lasted about 10 years now, I think.

And Amazon appears to have lost yet another package. This is #2 out of 6 orders since the 1st to either be lost or damaged so badly it was returned.

[Captain Packrat 🐀 @captpackrat]

On the plus side, 5 pounds of animal feed in small pellets spilled ALL OVER THEIR FACILITY. 🤣

Amazon: "Your package burst open in transit on the 3rd and had to be returned, but we're not going to ship out a replacement and we're not going to begin the refund process until the 6th."
