Exterior facial and body language are essential in fully understanding and interpreting what an individual is trying to communicate. Both auditory and visual cues complete what is being communicated - and what is communicated verbally can be quite different than what is being communicated visually.
My younger grandson has Asbergers Syndrome (going to be 17 next month) and has difficulty picking up visual cues from a person’s body and facial expressions and only picks up auditory cues - but takes the words and sentences literally. That’s because he is missing his ability to pick up body and facial communication cues. Thus he is missing 50% of his ability to fully understand what a person is trying to communicate.
Being able to “read” a person’s body and facial expressions coupled with verbal communication is what allows us to determine the full meaning behind an individual’s communication.

I've always supported and respected USPS - it's usually underappreciated work, and it is of more importance than many give credit. I've also seldom had delivery issues, most recently only because the spoiled kidult who lived in my place before me apparently didn't bother with any change of address or forwarding, so I still constantly get his mail, including his stimmie data and other personal communication.
National postal service is a public good, not meant to be a profit center. That's how it works in developed mature societies, anyway.

So true. And it also goes the other way. My son who has the same condition always has trouble dealing with police interactions because he didn’t give of the proper body language cues that cops are trained to read. If I was there I could explain to the officers that his condition made it difficult for him, for example, to look people in the eye (a signal that someone was being evasive) but during a traffic stop they always thought he was hiding something.

While a lot of communication is non verbal we are not discussing talking with people. We are discussing trials where in most cases the person being tried is not talking (taking the stand). So there the only body language you will have is from when they are sitting there and listening/watching the procedures. That's where everything about body language is very subjective.

Just like with USPS, the volume of first class mail has been reduced to a trickle and now it is mostly advertising flyers and 3rd-class admail. They no longer do door to door delivery in my area and I have to go to a community mailbox that serves about 60 homes to pick up my mail. I do it only once or twice a week as there is seldom anything vital there. Funnily enough though, the explosion in online shopping meant that they suddenly received a pile of new parcel business. But even that was a problem, as in the weeks leading up to Christmas they were so overwhelmed that they were posting about service delays of 3 to 4 weeks in moving parcels. There were apparently dozens of 40-foot trailers parked at the major sorting hubs around the country that were simply untouched for weeks due to the crush of business. Sometimes an operation can't win for losing.

Modernizing the USPS, bringing their computer systems into the 21st century, would be a massive undertaking and something that big bureaucracies do not do well. Back in the 90’s I was the lead on a couple of big computer upgrades (hardware, software, the whole kit and caboodle). Millions of dollars, dozens of software engineers, deadlines, big time pressure.
I was feeling pretty cocky, and when I heard the IRS wanted to completely redo / modernize their computer systems, I applied for a position with them. Specifically, to be the lead, or “a lead”, on this project. I interviewed with several different managers and teams and came away with the impression that their efforts were doomed to failure. Which proved to be correct.

As such, our tax dollars should be used to pay for that service. I know the current Post Master, who is inept, and that's being kind, tries to portray it as a service he had to cut back on in order to make it profitable. That's not the reason, at all. His previous position was as the leader of a "Logistics" company, which actually competed with the USPS, who can undercut most Logistics and delivery companies given their support of our tax dollars.

Exactly what I was thinking.
Ordered a couple of things from Amazon, this morning. Prime delivery, but anticipate a Sunday delivery. Got spoiled with the 1 and 2 day turnaround time in the past.

Current head honcho probably wants to direct some volume to his own (family) business so they can overbill as they have in the past. This is not an ethical benevolent bootstrapping businessman.

I sure don't want a car the size of an S Class anyway....above a C or 335 or A4 size it loses a lot of it's fun appeal.
Not sure about a back up camera....but I would still like one!

Let me see if I got that right. For the standard price of $39,974 you get a 426 hp, 4 x 4 standard dual motor setup with 775-lb feet of torque and 230 miles of range that can tow 7,700 pounds, and haul 2,000 pounds in the truck bed. Additionally, a 463 hp, 300-mile long range version that can pull up to 10,000 pounds will be available.

When we bought the bulk of them a few months ago they were just over 6 bucks which was pretty high compared to what we were paying for them before the so called shortage.
The price of buying a flip house has gone up. I wonder why.

I think the 'different for the sake of different' styling seen on the EQS and many other EVs is a combination of showing off, and virtue signaling. Give me the new gen EV tech (400+ miles of real world range, ability to get a bit of charge in no more than 20-30 mins, etc, along with solving charging infrastructure issues) in a normal E-class body, please (preferably with the formal grille and hood ornament). The drag coefficient may be a little worse, but probably not enough for a significant range impact. I don't care for trendy design nor do I thirst to be looked at.
In my area, flippers and institutional rental investment hoarders have demolished the lower end of the market, to the point where there is probably not much meat left on the bone for many flips (as incomes aren't pacing a market that has often more than doubled in ~5 years), and has destroyed the idea of a "starter home" for many, in the old vein of a house you buy and improve when you can, gaining equity and value over maybe a medium term. I have crocodile tears for their loss of profits, and that industry which is also subsidized by very affectionate tax policy.

Not sure if I can effectively support the CCP anyway.
Isn't that priced at northof $60K for the base model? To get the 620 mile range one you would have to pay more. I do believe they will have a subscription service at around $150 a month where you can just get your battery replaced when it needs a charge at one of their stations. That would mean you would have to be near one of their stations and would be more costly to run the car than most ICE cars at this time.
