    Obviously working the system as mentioned by someone else, but I will say as someone in shipping, if we find an empty package, we still at least get it to the area station if not the actual customer so a claim can be made by them. It does no good to not send it through at all, as then no one has any idea where it is.

    Also, a good place for a reminder, make sure your stuff is packaged well. While this seems to be a fake thing to bump ratings, cheap packages and tape fail A LOT in going from here to there, and even in the case of theft (which does happen), a securely closed package is a lot less enticing than one that’s partially open. I just saw one last week that looked a lot like this, but was certainly a legit shipping. Hoping it wasn’t medication, but it simply was a badly sealed envelope that came open and lost its contents somewhere. Probably under a belt somewhere, with no markings to trace it back to be recovered (which is also a good idea, have a phone number or address in a few places inside, not just on the outside).

    I’ve used VLC in WIndows forever, but it started giving me glitchy behavior in Ubuntu. Tried to upgrade to see if it was an old version/Snap thing, got frustrated with it not working. So I went through all the lists of Linux players, tried most of them. I like Audacious. It’s not perfect, but it works well, and I can deal with some of the minor things that are more preferences than problems. That’s all I wanted.

    Forecasts were all over the place, and I actually saw this afternoon radar saying there was heavy snow, a forecast for the time saying it should be raining, and I saw nothing. North Raleigh area got the earlier bit of sleet/ice layer and then maybe an inch of snow, but that’s about it.

    The shield held. I haven’t been out to see the road conditions, but they’ll probably be worse the next two nights as we get some melt and then refreeze.
