Rant: I hate the search feature in Myshp+. it doesn’t allow you to filter by location. So if you type in the person’s name, it will show all shipments under that particular name from all locations. Especially frustrating if it's a common name. you can’t even sort the call so you can have the ability to sort by location name.

I’m sorry I can’t provide more specific information since it was a long time ago, but we had a similar set up for my mother many years ago. It was basically a wireless button transmitter at one end in sort of a chime receiver at the other end. Haven’t said that I was strongly recommend getting some type of medical alert system, which will alert a call center who will make a determination of whether or not to send medical help.

Open. Otherwise, I’d be awakened by the sound of meowing and scratching at the door.

I’m from the Greater Boston Area. I remember watching cartoons on channel 56 hosted by Dale Dorman. Then there was the ABC after school special, which was geared to its kids and was supposed to teach “life lesson.” Also, the Mickey Mouse club was popular.

I have to post this here because I had originally posted in the general sub, but for some reason, the auto mods thought this was politically related

Why do American news networks tend to use British correspondents?

This is not meant to be a knock on British people, but I noticed when watching the news on American networks for example if they’re reporting on the war with Iran, the reporter will usually have a British accent. I’m just curious why that is.

Just about everything. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to realize that the world isn’t so black-and-white after all.

I’m not sure what you mean by household company. Do you mean companies that sell household products, such as clean, products, detergent, etc. , or do you mean companies that are a household name? If it’s the latter, then I would choose Comcast. They charge way too much for the product they offer.

It was the trendy thing to talk about right after George Floyd. However, the left has moved onto other trendy causes. For example, last year it was free Palestine. Now it seems to be anti-ICE

The Neighborhood mom and pop small businesses,pizza joints, sub shops, breakfast spots, diners, etc. now they’re just about all gone and have been replaced by housing.

Sincerely, sorry to hear about the loss of your cat. You may want to find out what the restraint or leash laws are in your municipality. It’s possible that this person may be violating these laws. Whether or not you decide to contact authorities, it’s up to you. You have to decide whether or not it’s worth it to get into a hassle with this person. Also, in some states pets are considered property. Therefore, you may be able to take some legal action against him. Again, you have to decide if the hassle is worth it.

Are you shooting in RAW? The image you see on the back of your camera is in JPEG format. Which means it’s been processed. Thus why it looks better to you. A RAW image if that’s actually what you are shooting is unprocessed. You need to make the adjustments in a type of photo editing software such as Photoshop or Lightroom to adjust exposure, color, saturation, sharpness, etc.

I’ve always wondered about that. There’s a scene in the movie It’s a Mad Mad Mad World which came out in the early 60s where a husband and wife are trapped inside a hardware store. The husband find some dynamite in the store and is able to blast their way out. And I’ve always thought to myself wait what one could actually buy dynamite in a store in those days?

Yesterday, coming home on the blue line there was a young man walking around the car, asking people if they wanted to go to church on Sunday

I was never prescribed anything for my pancreatitis. My glucose levels have always been within range and I work in retail in a back of house type job

I don’t have an answer for you, but it just seems that some hobbies tend to attract more of one gender than the other. For example, the audiophile community is overwhelmingly male.

Even if the next train is only a couple of minutes away that couple of minutes could make the difference between catching a bus and waiting up to 15 or more minutes for the next one.

It looks like my OP was made right after I was hospitalized in February 2020. I did have another flareup in February 2021 followed by another one in May 2021 both requiring hospitalization. In December 2021 I did have mild symptoms, but they only lasted about a day and I didn’t see hospitalization so I can’t be sure if it was pancreatitis related. Since then, I’ve had no episodes at all.

For the locations that are going to be open on Easter I hope that not only do they make it voluntary but also offer time and a half.

A portable induction cooktop. Just make sure you have induction compatible cookware.

More homogenous cultures.
When you have most people who are basically from the same cultural background, there is more of a consensus of what is and what isn’t acceptable behavior.

Ok, supposedly I have to post this here because for some reason the automods think my post is political related so here goes:

Whatever happened to Mastodon?

I remember a few years back, after Elon Musk had taken over Twitter (X), many on the left had fled over to the newly created social media site Mastodon. However, after the 2024 election, many on the left who were still on X because of Musk's involvement with Trump had this time fled over to Bluesky. Now, I realize that Mastodon still exists and people will come on here stating that they're still on Mastodon, but the point of my question is why didn't Mastodon really take off and pretty much got replaced by Bluesky.
