My company got two huge 900-page catalogs unsolicited in the mail today, each addressed to people who have never worked here, from Uline. This is the only shipping supplier that junk-mails us.

heads up: in case you notice your apple devices running hotter after the new Liquid Glass update, don't worry! this is simply the heat leakage from the kiln installed in your device that's used to liquify the glass
