Congressional testimony / impacts on minors-Facebook also owns IG. A few weeks ago, there was a flurry of stories about how adolescent females have a higher propensity of suicide, low self esteem, etc Algorithms used and weightings - at our around the same time, insights around Facebook's algorithms came out. Turns out, your feed is fed based more on what you hate than like... I believe a factor of 5:1. So, although the media blames politicians (like Trump) of fanning the flames of racism... Turns out Facebook was creating derision. E.g. BLM news, Covid biased stories, politics were likely feeding hatred. EU legislation - the EU has all kinds of rules that are going to eff up the old MAGA/FAANG companies. From making Apple switch to USB-c cables to GDPR rules, the EU nearly seems to be targeting profitable companies...laws, regs, races, fines... Gotta get them to pay their 'fair share'... Sounds familiar? BTW GDPR claims to cover EU citizens even in locations like the US...I'm not sure if this has been tested in our and international courts. Data privacy concerns - see GDPR... Multinational companies must keep individual data protected, in Europe with individuals holding the right to be forgotten... Failure to comply can result in a fine of like 4% of revenue, of I recall correctly. So yeah, FB/Meta along with Google/Alphabet and others have some interesting times ahead.
Asian beetles and brown striped flies ( picture winged flies ). How the f can that many get in your house. This fall has been horrid for those flies in our house this year. Everyone is whining about them. Doesn't matter if it is an old house or new house, those bastards get in them by the hundreds.
I don't know if it is true or not, but the people around here say that once the soybeans are harvested, the Asian beetles start entering homes. The flies and beetles are around here but I've had much worse years. They really suck.
I will check with my daughter when she gets to work. The COOP sells a chemical that you mix with water and spray on. It is expensive but it works. the product is called Tempo.
Everyone is off today in the building, except me. The other supervisor, my biller, and my dispatcher. I have over 100 hours of PTO to still use. Thankfully my board lets me cash out if I don't use it - due to the fact it's hard for me to get off. But, ugh. It's frustrating at times.
Not my day That rat's nest is my internet hook up Thank you county for this great fix. As for the internet someone went out and spliced some cables and got it back on, I am not sure who that handsome SOB is, but thank you
US Customs!!!!!!! I've had a shipment "under going exam" for better than 3 months. This is shipment number 8 this year. That is more than the last 3 years combined!!
Business or personal? If it is business your broker sucks. We ship to Calgary and eastern Canada never takes more than a week.
Yup. We have a fair bit of utilities subterranean... Which has its own shortcomings from time to time... Usually when there is construction nearby.
Business but its inbound not outbound. Broker cant do **** when customs puts a hold on a container. When they get to it they get to it. Dont believe its paperwork as we have used this vendor for more than 30 years. Same with the broker. Probably because we no longer import FCL. Someone is on customs radar that we share containers with.
My wife applied for a job at the school in town, yesterday she had her interview. The principal asked my wife where Shady Oak Lane is, my wife explained it is on the west side of the lake. The principal asked her it's not the house with the Packer flag is it? Warms my heart. It did not work she was offered the job. More days per year, more $ per hour, 5 minute commute. She is hesitant because she would have to work 11 months out of the year.
Serious questions, since it's mostly men here... Do you handle or have any idea on your household financials? My husband is awful with money. So I pay all the bills and keep track of what we have. He collects cash and keeps it in his gun safe and then thinks that he gives me money and hasn't so then he has unaccounted for money. IT DRIVES ME FREAKING NUTS.
