  • My wife voted from overseas (Germany) and her ballot is stuck in customs for 4 weeks now and didn’t arrive in time. We sent it through airmail with tracking and usually, letters arrive in a week.

    Thats begs the question: Why would a ballot be stuck in customs for so long and why does a letter have to go through customs in the first place

    Worst of all, she voted in Wisconsin where trump won by less than 30k votes. Online there are multiple people reporting that their ballot is stuck in customs. Could it be that postmaster general DeJoy is supressing votes by redirecting votes to customs? I assume that overseas votes from Europe are overwhelmingly for the Democrats.
















  • Thats the another huge advantage of the DIN formats, its very easy to calculate the weight if you know the grammage of the paper.

    DIN A0 = 1m^2 If the paper has a grammage of 80gr/m^2, that means that one sheet of

    • DIN A1 weighs 40gr
    • DIN A2 weighs 20gr
    • DIN A3 weighs 10gr
    • DIN A4 weighs 5gr

    That makes it really simple to calculate postage without weiging it.

    When we are printing stuff in bulk you can also use a scale to measure the number of pages without counting and it usually has a very small margin of error (good enough for distributing flyers and stuff)
