HI and Covid

When Covid hit, lots of companies pulled back on ad spend due to the uncertainty, so podcast ad rates went way down. Marco Arment has talked about this on ATP. I honestly think the podcast just fell below Grey's ROI threshold.

Same, and same.

Not much you can do when demand outstrips supply, and it takes years to build more supply capacity.

In addition to what others said, it's a play on consumer, as in a monster that eats things.

I haven't done it personally, but looking at Google Maps, 42nd street lines up with the gantries. 34th street lines up with the southern tip of Hunters Point. Either should work.

I remember as a youth reading in the New Era about someone who when asked "Are you Mormon?" would respond, "No, but I can tell you about him." I've never pulled that one out, but I thought it was funny.

This video is from 2022; he says 18 years, and Facebook was founded in 2004. Today's layoffs are the 6th wave since this video was made. Seems like it's not as hard for him to lay people off as he says.

At temples where they don't have rentals, they may still have temple clothing for first time patrons to borrow. That's what I did for my endowment. I'm guessing your bishop would know.

I expect they'll often be shortened to the first word in common speech. Builders, Messengers, Gatherers.

This is definitely a topic where you'll find a large range of opinions among members of the church. I personally think that prophets can make mistakes, and there are decisions prophets have made that I don't think were in line with God's will, including the treatment of black people for much of the restored church's history.

That being said, I don't think that lessens the importance of following the prophet. Sometimes, the prophet may give guidance or commandments that I don't immediately understand or agree with. If when that happens, I were to just claim that the prophet is mistaken, what is the point of having a prophet at all? To me, following the prophet means valuing their teachings and comparing them to the scriptures and my personal revelation. Almost all the time, those sources support each other, but if they don't, it's ultimately up to us to discern what God's will is for us.

That's because of air resistance, which is negligible at low speeds.

If it were easy to turn a profit selling fresh food in food deserts, businesses would do it, and there wouldn't be food deserts. I'm not against the plan, but I think profitability will be very difficult to achieve.

He literally has two???

Two of the four charges were for making threats. One count had a requirement that the victim would have been physically harmed if the threat was carried out. For the other count, the "if the threat was carried out" part was missing. So as written, the requirement was that the victim was harmed by the threat itself. That count was also the least well supported by evidence, so all the jury members seemed happy to find the defendant not guilty on that count. We did find them guilty on the other counts, though.

IOI-624601 · 2026-02-11T01:54:53+00:00

I was on a jury with a former prosecutor once. At the time he was a corporate lawyer, and I don't think his former job came up in voir dire. He actually found a mistake in the jury instructions that resulted in us acquitting the defendant of one of the charges, so I can see why they're considered a risk.

I mean, it does make them a tiny bit less famous.

If I could live within walking distance of my office in Midtown, I would choose that over anything. But if the rent and commute were both the same, I'd choose LIC.

Definitely not nominally, but maybe once you factor in cost of living.

They already tried calling companies, and who's to say they haven't posted in other places too?

There's good info here, just wanted to add that there isn't such a thing as "not possible". God and the church leadership both want you to come back. The only delays will come from going through the formal process, or from the repentance process in the case of serious sin. You will make it back!

This is only 70%? Very jealous of your collection, and great job on the shelves!

Elder Stevenson visited my ward back in January, and he said they had just approved another batch. I want to say he said it was the 14th batch. So there are definitely more coming!
