the idiots are still in control..
i just rang dhl and fedex and it seems there is a new rule that individuals cannot ship a lithium ion battery by air.
i wanted to send a phone whose battery cannot be removed (a cunning design by the manufacturers to maximise their post sale profits)
think about that for a second. apple get these things made in china or malaysia – they then send them to australia or where ever by AIR with the battery in it.
when you catch a plane anywhere your phone has to be switched off but you can bring the battery with you on the plane – but if we want to send it somewhere we can not! and then they wonder why people end up in a bell tower with a rifle. i really dont understand how our regulators think. and we pay their wages.
nothing in this construct of reality makes sense to me at all. except dandelion chai. yum.
i participate, you participate, he, she and the animals participate, they profit. [sigh]
