[ale] [OT] Amazon box meets conveyor belt - 3 minutes and still no winner

[Jim Kinney]

It looks like it's dragging against the side of the conveyor. So it gets
_just_ enough friction to rotate for the long lift (note the lag picking up
one side as it slightly travels up the belt a bit). The rest is just rolling
:-)

Maybe they need a "minimum weight" shipping restriction :-}
