  • It adds flex to the container for variations of atmospheric pressure. It’s what they mean by the fill levels.

    Milk containers are filled by weight. The exact volume of the liquid can vary slightly based upon the atmospheric pressure.

    If the container has no flex the top will pop off or the sides will crush in with pressure changes say when a truck drives over a mountain pass to deliver the milk.

    Non-destructice hijinks were highly encouraged at my first job. It was a way to encourage people to remember to lock up their computers when they stepped away.

    So mouse button settings were often reversed, hotkeys were mapped, desktop backgrounds were modified, and basically every other non-destructive computer prank was pulled.



  • When I worked in unloading package trucks in college there was always a few idiots who would ship dangerous stuff in totally unacceptable ways.

    That looks like a repackage job. Somebody put an axe into a regular box and shipped it. The axe came cutting out of the box somewhere along the journey. This is the type of repackaging that we would do if it didn’t endanger anyone. We’s also put a no belt sticker on it and put a hold on the shipment until the asshole paid for shipping an dangerous object. Everyone then knew what it was and it was shipped safely.

    I once had a box fall off a tier and 10 sharp unsheathed bayonets stabbed into the deck less than 1cm from my foot. Some idiot had stacked a whole bunch of lead bullets for reloading on one side of the box and placed the unsheathed bayonets on top of them at an angle. Since all the weight was on one side, it tipped over off of the stack and fell. The blades came out on on impact and stuck 2cm into the deck next to my foot.

    We returned the box to the sender, after using a bunch of bubble wrap and several rolls of clear tape to turn each bayonet into a ball.
