A box for a box!
Joining an Internet trope here! You see
these memes all over the place at the movement, mostly pertaining to Amazon
deliveries, but this was waiting for me in my local Ryman's the other week! It's packed like medical equipment for a
disaster zone, and contains approximately 75% space!
It's been used for the combined
paratroopers to be sorted into as the first phase of preparation for a/soon-to-be
'the' parachute-toy page.
Thought for the day - this sort of thing has to stop. The
scientists gave us ten years to make major changes in every aspect of human
existence; that is - if we want to exist further-forward than the next 35 years.
They did so about 6/8 weeks ago, so we have already spent wasted 1% of
the time available to us - to start saving ourselves . . . from ourselves -
doing nothing!
