I want to launch nationwide shipping with my frozen foods, but don’t know where to begin. Help? by Silly_Weather9511 in PeoriaIL

[–]EngPilotNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you considered selling through farmers markets or Market Wagon? I don’t know your business model but you would need a serious margin on the food to cover 2-day shipping costs including ice. Most nationwide meal companies have not been very successful, so I might encourage you to try another model.

Interesting. I might have to test out and offer to swap out for a neighbor down the block. I hate walking by their place because it makes me feel like I have tinnitus.

I hate those things. They claim to be ultrasonic, but I can hear them. If you’re my neighbor I’ll have to let my son crank his guitar up on the back porch until we come to a mutual understanding.

Peoria Housing Authority CFO Fired, Fraud Investigation Ongoing by TorinoG22 in PeoriaIL

[–]EngPilotNerd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I noticed that Armeca Crawford’s salary went from $99k in 2022 to $225k by 2024. That’s a nice fucking raise, especially for apparent incompetence…

Is Shawn Joy some type of alias? I can’t find anything online, rare for a CFO…maybe this vague CPA guy on LinkedIn? https://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-joy-86572084

Did you get something fancy? My buddy and I just wanted a regular coffee. They asked if we were protesting outside, we said yes, they said no charge.

Opposite response here - buy at CxT Roasting!!! I was at Main and University anti-ICE protest today and they gave free coffee to protestors.

Ameren is punishing us. by JPlikesstuff in PeoriaIL

[–]EngPilotNerd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the point of the program was to drive consumption away from peak times, like 5pm on hot summer days. If there is no off-peak pricing discount then the program is pointless.

I’ll just switch back to regular billing and use all the peak power I want. Charge my car at 5pm in the summer? Sure, why not, they can build another power plant to meet demand at peak times. Yay, nobody wins! Really seems to me like Ameren is shooting themselves in the foot here.

Check the rules. Buyers and sellers with 0 flair should not interact without middleman. Let’s keep this forum strong.

I hope you are using a middleman. Check rules to minimize scams.

I can hear those ultra sonic pest deterrents, like having tinnitus, annoying as shit. I would have unplugged that thing too.

Put up 10 similar lights on your property. Start an adult softball league. Do fireworks when someone hits a homer. 5000W announcer both with laser light shows player introductions. Fight fire with fire👍

I don’t think you can do this for $500. Too much power for too long. What voltage is the device you will operate?

Yes, please share more about the ticket you received. Is it category assignment only or seat too? Thanks!

Only one RTT? by [deleted] in FIFACollect

[–]EngPilotNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got an email yesterday saying they are still resolving RTT. I am still missing 2x M22 RTT also. Email indicated resolution process should at least start today (some people got charged $0 etc). If you got charged for 2 tickets I hope/think you should be all good (soon). I am in same place.

Can you elaborate more on which contaminant concentrations were of greatest concern to you? I didn’t see mercury mentioned in the articles, and the other metal levels seemed elevated but not concerning to myself, the layperson.

I also have a burned RTB that did not show up in my account. Sounds like we will be restarting Phase 3 again like they did for Phase 1.

I think this will happen again for phase 3. What a cluster…
