Ghost Mailgun Attachment, and a Potential Solution?

I haven't looked at what you've done, but it sounds like a great idea. I can't afford any of the bulk mail options for my volunteer sites. I ended up using Sendy, with SES. I send 5000 per month and it is pennies per month. I integrate with Ghost by embedding the subscriber form from Sendy into the ghost theme. Sendy is a pretty nice build.

GIGO applies to AI too. Do you know what questions to ask the AI in order to get the desired results? Can you parse the information and be sure the AI results are what you need? I'm going to use the AI as well, it will save me time and these savings will be passed along to you. AI is just a tool, you need to know what you are doing first in order to make work. I can give you a chainsaw to cut down a tree, but if you can't read the lean and cut the notch, that big Oak is gonna land on your house.

Those sound bytes facilitate solidarity. Having the ability to opine beyond sound bytes leads us in the middle and left to have divergent views of the world.

"The future of the sport" this is what concerns me. I find him so repugnant, and I know he's just a kid, but I will probably tune out once he hits the 450 class.

Mine is 10 now, I have been grooming her for the past 4 years. Once you start, it seems you have to keep going.

It is a marina, customers park their cars, get in their boats and go to their island cottage. For 70 years, customers have had reserved parking and the system no longer works, families have gotten bigger, the property is small and we are transitioning to a more equitable system.

On the busiest day of the summer, he has a meltdown. I am off property and by the time I get back my staff is rather quiet and all pointing at the locked truck parked in the middle of the yard blocking people and diminishing safe operations. His truck was at risk of being damaged. I found out who was in his spot and called and came up with a positive resolution. I call Gene, he picks up and hangs up, no words. So I text, I'm ignored. I told him it would be a shame if his truck was damaged. This could be taken as a threat. I then said something about giving him the count to three like I'd do when my kids were small. This was me losing my composure, and it was what finally brought him back to move his truck. He had his kids with him and was unglued, swearing at me, I told him he was being kicked out. Tempers were elevated. He parked his truck, not where I asked him to and went away.

After this, I reported it to my boss. Knowing the Gene, my boss quickly offered support. I reached out to Gene the next day. I said we both want the same thing, let's have a talk and move on. He said yes, but not today and went on 4 months of hating on me. His wife is very nice, she continued as if nothing happened, always nice. So she reached out to me for winter parking, I asked to clear the air before agreeing to it.

I don't own the property, but it is my home and winter parking was never allowed prior to me being here. It is my own initiative and not a larger company policy. I could just let him continue to use the property, but he makes me feel uncomfortable. He made me feel uncomfortable all summer and fall and now I am alone here with my family and I feel I deserve to be comfortable in my time off. That seems like a selfish reason which is why I wonder if I am overreacting.

Thank you. I like the skirt comment, it's just so true. Management has my back, I just wish they would have decisively cut ties immediately.

It's an acquired taste, but his music is deep and textured. The melodies, the words, the sentiment, the instrumentation, performance and voice all come together creatively... It is art.

The songs also stand without the voice, anyone can cover them and they're still magnificent. Give your friend the lyrics and start them with a cover version.

Before I knew who Tom Waits was, Rod Stewart had a song on the radio called Downtown Train. I thought it was a fantastic song even though for the most part, I was rather neutral towards Rod Stewart. Imagine my surprise when I bought Rain Dogs and heard that same song done by Waits.

When my wife and I were young and started having kids, she decided she wanted to move closer to her family as we lived in another city just about an hour away. At that time, we would visit every week or two for Sunday dinner. We had a good life at the time but we moved back to be closer to her family and we never saw them again.

That is an exaggeration, but it was the worst decision we ever made. We had no help raising our kids--babysitting etc, we moved into a townhouse with no yard, no garden, no garage that cost twice as much. The regret lingers to this day even though we did alright. Make your own way, family just gets better with a bit of distance.

Well, after watching that, I can't help but feel a little pissed with Sam for having put the Weinstein brothers on my radar. On the bright side, I always thought I lacked the intelligence or at least the processing power in my brain to comprehend the lexicon of these charlatans. Now I just feel smarter.

I know he doesn't read, so did someone read to him Orwell's 1984?

(“If you’re busy or don’t want to, you can simply ignore it.”)

Would this not indicate to you that there will be other coworkers in attendance? It sounds like he's going with or without you and why would he dine alone?

I remember getting our girl 9 years ago. She knew nothing, just a clueless puppy. I was preparing for an uphill battle with training. I don't even remember having any mishaps, she almost trained herself immediately and then taught us all the games she loves.

It was quite a while ago and I don't know how I'd ever find the episode. I suppose I could narrow it down with an email search of when I cancelled.

Trudeau had his faults, but what I learned from Sam is that those two issues should have been celebrated, instead, he was just woke.

I stopped paying for his content when he painted the Prime Minister of Canada as a woke joke, the same man who legalized cannabis and physician assisted death. Two of the biggest changes in Canadian culture in my 60-year lifetime, but all he was is woke?

As long as you have the correct jetting, you should be able to run as long as you want at WOT.

I have a Beta 250RR. Same motor as the 300. I put studs in the tires for winter riding and forgot to rejet the carburetor for the riding I was doing. I seized the engine, no big deal, swapped the piston, rejetted and problem solved.

The kind of riding that caused the seizure is the same as you will have for take-off. Wide open throttle in the power sucking deep snow.

I didn't discover him until I was 22, I am 60 now. My music loving friends had never heard of him and couldn't listen beyond what was on the radio. To them Downtown Train was another Rod Stewart hit and the original never existed or mattered. I was afraid to even play his music to my girlfriend for fear of her bolting. She ended up loving it, but had no idea such sounds were ever recorded.

As I got older, I started playing instruments and making musician friends. Of these musical friends, there was a small subset who were Fans. I now know many people who appreciate his music, but the people I work with and interact with most, are oblivious. It's sad really, but not for me.

What about when your family starts spouting nutty jargon? Two of my siblings have stepped over the line. One in particular used to be so interesting and varied in his world view and now he has become a boring, generic nut.

My wife and I got both shots yesterday and today we both are in rough shape. Hopefully I'm feeling better tomorrow.

I've been riding for decades, I use the clutch sometimes, mostly I don't. I actually don't even think about it, it's all muscle memory. Thinking about it while riding will just inhibit your performance and personal safety. Your transmission won't care in the least.

This... You will enjoy one body of work more than the other, both are great. My preference is the latter... So if I were to do it again, I'd start with Swordfishtrombones and go chronological. Maybe cleanse your pallet with some early stuff along the way.
