YSK United States Postal Service Prints Your New Address on Returned Mail

Why YSK: If you are moving away from a location and do not want people to have your new forwarding address for safety purposes, this automated feature can reveal your new address. This comes into play when you have set up mail forwarding with the post office and your forwarding order expires. The post office will put a sticker on the envelope with "forwarding time expired, return to sender" and that sticker contains your last known forwarding address. I just sent out a huge batch of mail for work and saw this happen for over 100 recipients.

LPT: Avoid "mystery" rental car option when gas prices are high

I don't rent cars often and didn't really care what car I got. I tried to save a few bucks and selected the mystery option and I was saddled with a 15mpg Goliath. The clerk said everyone wants the gas efficient cars when gas prices are up, so the vehicles that use a lot of gas are usually the ones left over for the mystery options. I paid many times more to fill up the tank than I saved by choosing the "surprise me" option.

New Google Admin Quarantine Moderation Issues

It looks like the old admin quarantine interface is gone and the url loads to the new moderation queue. There are basic the design issues--instructions/information take up about 60% of the page making it really challenging to moderate a large number of emails at at time. I'm able to zoom way out on Chrome to see up to 10 messages, but that makes for slow going.

The main issue is there appears to be a glitch in the moderation itself which inaccurately applies the approval/denial to the wrong messages. I had about 100 messages to review today and denied 5 from the queue. The following 5 (that I wanted to review) disappeared from the list along with the 5 I denied. I checked the "denied" section, and all 10 had been denied despite clearly being unchecked originally.

It doesn't seem this tool is 100% ready for primetime, just a heads up if you're having issues with emails being denied that you didn't select or interact with in the moderation queue. I submitted a ticket to Google, not sure if that will have much of an impact.

The main character wakes up in a crime scene convinced of his innocence. The movie follows him through his attempts to prove his innocence. I think it was very stylized but live action, at least 15-20 years ago. The final shot of the movie pans out to show you that the whole movie takes place on a planet created by aliens to see how humans respond in similar situations.
