Really? It just goes to show how some people are never satisfied.
First of all - falling probably hurt (particularly if face first) - why would you want to do that, again?
Putting that aside, that was not the nature of the problem, as stated. Many brave and thoughtful CPian's tried to contribute to solving your dilemma. Those should have garnered your gratitude - not brought forth further inquires, challenging their viability and sincerity. Hopefully, not too many feelings were hurt.
So - flop over and get on with it. I'm sure, once so situated you'll find inspiration in the thoughts and contributions in this thread to come up with something . . . . . . eventually . . . . . . or not.

You're right. I'll just lie here and be grateful.

Plenty of ways:
- Hand stand.
- Stick with sharp end
- 2 sticks
- Vaccum cleaner
and on and on.
If the letter is anything to do with quantum physics, already have it, you had it, you will have it, you will never have it, you never had it, there is no letter, there is no you, there is no postman, postman is still there, letter is still at origin.....

I'm stealing a version of this for a wedding speech in the future. I have a friend that does applied mathematics research in a related field. She'll love it

Can't fathom what field it could be. Can you reveal?

To be frank, I barely understand the simple version of the topics even though I took decently high-level math. Four years ago when I could kind of understand the "this is as simple as I can make it" explanations she was doing modelling with Lyapunov exponents, Floquet theory, and something else I can't remember.
As I understand it, it's not so much directly related as tangentially related. Something about predicting unpredictable behaviors in systems. They were looking to apply the model to real-world problems like traffic, flows within huge gatherings, etc.
I'm... honestly not sure how that turned out. I should follow up. We don't really talk work anymore because we're just speaking a foreign language to each other, lol.

If it's an invoice from your chiropractor, just leave it there. If he complains about not getting paid, you can tell him you were just following his instructions.

standardizing the date formats and just keep it as one. The shorter, longer, the too longer all these differences are fine. I'm just talking about the completely opposite types like
MM-DD-YY
DD-MM-YY
YY-MM-DD
This is seriously freaking tiring to handle. All the data sheet exported from system are in MM-DD-YY format, and the customer read them all as DD-MM-YY & feeds into their own internal system.
Yeah I head you saying "This is what localization is supposed to fix". But why? why not we fix this in peoples minds and make them follow a unified type.

Because the 'mercans cannot handle the correct date (or time) formats.

Careful now. Most of the things they can't handle are the side effects of having been British colonies. Centuries of independence have not even helped very much. The only thing they were spared was not having to drive on the weirder side of the road.
