Believe It Or Not

by in Error'd on

This week we have a special visit from a mythical beast: the snarklemma. But first, a non-error Error'd.

Obsessive Optimizer Ian K. "Walmart's nationwide network of warehouse stores means they can save time and money by shipping locally. FedEx has them covered: Their nationwide shipping fleet determined the shortest path from Houston to its largest suburb goes via Georgia."

That same anon sent us the following, explaining "Folks at Twitch are very brave. So brave, they wrote their own time math."
