When my Pixel 4a was stolen at some point in the delivery chain, but the box was still delivered, Google sent me a replacement.
The "approved" and said the replacement would be sent soon. After 8-9 days, I messaged them again, "We've escalated, we are working on your problem."
It was delivered later that day. 3 days later I received a tracking number.
UPS and FedEx have been having a lot of this sort of trouble, ever since Google and Amazon started building distribution centers in the Plural Zones.
It's cheaper and more efficient not being constrained to just three physical dimensions, but the shipping companies' database systems all seem to be set up with the presumption that time flows at a linear rate, and in one direction only.
Hell, next Thursday I received an Amazon order which I hadn't (willan on-haven't, to pe perfectly technical about it) even placed yet. Guess I gotta give 'em a good rating on timelineness.

We ordered from Walmart.com the other day at 9:30am. Ar 11:30am, a store employee delivered the order from a local Walmart in a plastic bag. It was just a regular order...
^^Hmm, not that I follow them, but I always heard the OSHA requirements for climbing a ladder were to use the rungs for handholds, not the sides. If that is indeed so, he probably should think twice before posting a video of it. Anyone know the specifics for tall, completely vertical ladders (i.e. not step or tilt types)?

I'm no OSHA expert, but I imagine there's probably also something in there about not deliberately throwing objects down off of the tower while you're up there.

Those climbing rails like what is on that ladder are hazardous in my opinion. Government owned ships have them and I have never used one. People in my line of work now want to use a harness with two clips and move the clip as they are climbing. Again, that is hazardous when you are on a platform moving in multiple planes at once. I climb using both hands and both feet and pay attention to what I am doing. I would like to see a study done on how many people have been injured while using mandated safety systems. I know it will never happen, but still.
And just in case someone feels I am letting down the thread by not posting a picture, here 'ya go.

I think that they don't even need to tie when climbing. OSHA allows for free climbing.
Though the rules could have totally changed.
As someone who does a LOT of climbing for work, I can absolutely confirm that safety devices do cause more incidents. They're just plain cumbersome. But, they certainly save lives when the incidents happen.
