Get your head out of your arse and try acting like a grownup if that's at all possible.
Do realize that they could be uncomfortable because the amount of data Apple wants to collect is greatly REDUCED from what credit cards collect - the statement does not state which direction of the amount goes.
Credit cards in the UK don't work like they do in the USA. The only thing the credit card company knows is how much you've spent and what retailer you've spent it at. They don't know what you've bought. My credit card company online statements break down spending into categories. Quite a lot of the time its in the wrong category because I've bought something somewhere which is not that company's main line of business. An example would be buying screenwash at Tesco for my car. It doesn't go through as automotive but groceries if I buy it from the store and not the supermarket forecourt.
It takes about 30 minutes, if that (15-20 normally) to unload 4-6 pallets from the truck,
You'd be fired in most warehouses in the UK if you worked that slow. Shit I loaded myself with a pump truck on Saturday night and stuck 18 pallets on my semi-trailer in half an hour and that is with a forklift truck driver going into the warehouse and bringing them out to me one at a time. It only took them 30 minutes to unload and check 26 pallets I delivered to a Tesco distribution centre on Sunday morning.
You can unload 13,000 cases of unpalletized canned goods in four hours, the same amount of time it takes anyone else with pallets? That's pretty fucking amazing, I must say.
What the hell? A standard 40' shipping container takes 24 pallets. You can unload/load 24 pallets in about the same number of minutes, even less if they're all stacked on the loading dock next to the ramp for the container. You're probably looking at an hour to unload 13,000 cases palletised.
I would say a very loose standard. There are a variety of pallet dimensions.
Unless they're specifically made for a specific product they're either 40"x48", 48"x48" or Euro 1200x800.
Please stop commenting about something you don't know shit about, you're just embarrassing yourself.
It takes time to build pallets. It takes time to break apart, resort, and rebuild pallets. It costs money to repair and replace the pallets themselves. Pallets require extra ceiling space to actually pick them up and put them into a truck or container, resulting in wasted volume in that truck or container. The logistics industry is quickly moving away from pallets for everything but long term storage.
Actual truck driver here. No they're not or at least in Europe they're not. You can load a pallet onto a truck with just a couple of inches clearance, enough for the skids on the pallet not to slide along the floor. What actually determines pallet height and therefore wasted space in a truck is the racking at the warehouses. Its the spacing between the shelving on the racking. Rented pallets is the model used the most with Chep being the largest player in the world. Most large companies won't accept goods unless they're on Chep pallets, that's how well they're built and how well designed the rental system is. You don't need to worry about the time it takes to build pallets or repair them because Chep take care of that. You merely send one of your trucks in to a Chep factory en-route back to load up 300 pallets or get Chep to deliver them and collect the damaged ones.
Hopefully they will vote with their hard earned money and seek another one of our other valued distributors immediately."
Or after having to watch alternatives they'll come to the realisation of just how shitty Fox News is and just not bother paying to watch them again.
80gb is better than 8...
You can get 128GB micro SD cards.
At least the major cable guys offer unlimited data a month, and price you according to the speed that you wanna rent. Which sounds fair. One has to pay far more than that in other countries - not sure about Europe, but definitely it's far cheaper than Asia
I pay the equivalent of $50 a month for 80mbps down, 20mbps up with no data caps or throttling here in the UK.
