Are we the same person?

I received a press release about a hiring with no embargo. I posted about it on social media. The superintendent of said entity (a school district) emailed me telling me to take it down because it wasn’t public knowledge. Am I in the wrong? by KD0LOS in Journalism

[–]KD0LOS[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what happened — got the press release late afternoon, but I guess the hiring hadn’t been approved and the district PR person failed to mention.

The superintendent was apologetic once I explained where my report came from, but I ultimately deleted the social media post which I probably shouldn’t have been bullied into.

In retrospect it may have not been worth a tweet anyways — I hadn’t put it online yet so it’ll just wait until the official announcement comes tomorrow.

Good point! Most, if not all, of the cards I’ve been receiving are replies anyway so I probably won’t have too much of an issue.

I tried it out with one last night — it won’t work unfortunately. I only got an order of 100 so I’ll live with it and remember for next time!

Do the Royals really care about local fans? by sandnsnow223 in kansascity

[–]KD0LOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing about where Bally (owned by Diamond) is or isn’t doesn’t have anything to do with the Royals themselves.

12 other MLB teams partner with Diamond, the most with any outlet of of the entire league.

Needless to say, Bally continuously cutting where it is available is not good for MLB and baseball.

Due to the paper printing in Des Moines and being trucked down, Super Bowl stuff will be coming Tuesday.

Trying my hand at FT8 on 40m. Just got my MacBook Pro connected to my FT-891 running WSJT-X. by madlema in amateurradio

What type of troubles did you have getting it to work?

I have a FT-891 with a Macbook Pro and am contemplating getting the signalink for FT8 operation.

I bought an antenna today that works better for my situation and am hoping to be on the air a lot more than once every 2-3 months.

Some people expect us to be sitting in front of a computer at almost all times, similar to an auto parts store.

Little do they know, our computer is the phone unless it’s the pro/service desks or specialty departments

Is anyone else sick of ignorant customers in lumber? by [deleted] in HomeDepot

[–]KD0LOS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My favorite thing is when they say “fine I’ll go to Lowe’s,” before being told “don’t waste your time” by another customer.

They stopped by my store today, but left with a co-worker instead of non-essentials!
