Someone kept the newspaper for a while. Someone else used it as wrapping.

Noted that everyone seems focused on the date of the newspaper.
Myself I would be more curious why they would be using a newspaper of any sort.

You read the newspaper then either throw it away or recycle it some way.
Yes people still read the actual paper paper...we do!

So you are suggesting that the vendor has been using newspaper that they have been saving for 80 years (at least) and now they have reached that far into the stack?

Or maybe they haven't shipped anything in a LONG time.

Our cat Oreo gave birth to two kittens on 20th April. Even today, nearly 50 days after birth, these two kittens are suckling on their mother.
Of course we're feeding the mother cat well, but is there any optimal time when these kittens should be separated from their mother cat? Surely the mother cat cannot supply her milk indefinitely, isn't it?

there a variety of opinions about this; the mother's teats may not dry up for 6 to 8 weeks. weaning should be a natural response by the mother. [^]

Front pair: 32psi, 42psi.
Rear pair: 20psi, 60psi. That could explain the harsh-and-floaty ride quality.
I know nobody ever cares or even checks courtesy cars, but ... you'd think a garage would at least check occasionally.

Thankfully not - I'm a comfortable 22.2 BMI.

I thought y'all used the metric system? Shouldn't you be measuring in kilopascals or bar or some such nonsense?

I think in PSI, but I set the tyres in bar. Go figure, I can't!

Well, my tireshop owner inflated my tires at 3 bar. No wonder I had a bumpier and less gripping car about 6 months after I bought it, it's when I changed to M+S tires.

The correct pressure setting(s) is normally on a sticker on the door pillar these days - I believe it was standardised some years ago?

You would think this is the correct pressure. The problem is it's not. The correct pressure is always somewhere between the door placard sticker pressure and the maximum sidewall pressure on the tire.
For those who remember the Ford Explorer rollover fiasco a couple of decades ago, Firestone flat out stated that the door placard sticker on the Ford Explorer set the tire pressures so low that as soon as you put four adults in the vehicle you had overloaded the tires from a safety standpoint.
