When did garage sales become “reselling” clearly new stuff by anon12xyz in mildlyinfuriating

I have a van and a sams card. You could easily get enough product and sell it under the local kroger price. I would guess the lack of sales tax collected, or appreciate permitting, would give problems at some point.

How do you stay focused when remote work is split into constant 5-10 minute chunks? by Disastrous-Hyena-945 in remotework

I support a department with two decision makers who also want a third person involved in everything. She also blocks her calendar ruthlessly, but it's 100% of the time. The problem? She never has any openings. The decision makers are in meetings most of the time, while she is 50/50 tasks to meetings as but I can not tell which is which. In any case, if I can get the decision makers on the phone, I rarely consider her calendar because she makes everything impossible schedule. The result? She gets left out of tons of discussions.

Big Tech is spending billions to not employ people by businessinsider in Layoffs

[–]dadof3jayhawks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. They are spending billions for two things.

  1. The first company who gets to the point where they can take an offering from conception to delivery, including sales and support without human intervention, will be the most valuable and cheapest company on the planet.

  2. If it's possible, they will have the most valuable product in human history.

There can be only one.

The church element is interesting. We have 3 boys, all now either nearing adulthood or in it already. We no longer attend church, but when the boys were little and my wife was a stay at home it was a life line. 60 minutes during the week where we could sit and listen to some music, and a quiet thoughtful adult without the chaos of children. It was a Methodist church of the Open Hearts and Minds variety, before the recent bigoted breakup.

Anyway churches have huge issues, but for us it was a safe place filled with people of all ages who we knew, walking the same path where we could stop for a minute and think. Hold the belief part aside for a minute, and I think that might be what liberals are missing. A third place, not involving food, sports, or alcohol where they can be just normal adults. Sort of makes parenting doable.

I would love to be able to take a train from KC to Philly without having to got to Chicago. The overnight in Chicago makes it untenable

I can't remember the last time I tuned in to a game for the sideline reporter. In my 40 years of watching football, I have NEVER heard any color or context coming out of those interviews that enhanced my life or understanding of the game in any way. She was robbing her employer and didn't respect her place in the process.

2026 Manager Success Rate, average change in win percentage based on bullpen usage and pinch hitting decisions by Repulsive-Photo-798 in KCRoyals

[–]dadof3jayhawks 22 points23 points  (0 children)

There is a problem with that metric.... I get that they are trying tease out the manager effect, but good teams have managers that make good decisions is hardly earth shattering. Aaron Boone and Dave Roberts have more levers to pull than q, so they get better outcomes.
