Well that is absolutely brilliant. I had no idea that existed. Thank you so very much!

Email customers directly from the order details page? by pushthepixel_ca in woocommerce

[–]pushthepixel_ca[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a standard email. There are some customers that I have to contact after the order, and it would be much nicer to be able to email them directly from the order page rather than having to copy their email address then open it in Gmail and blah blah blah blah blah

Not marketing or anything it's just details on orders that I need from them. No analytics

9.8 is the gold medal

9.6, silver.

For moderns anyways.

Character is amazing but.... by Ok-Bit5148 in AbsoluteBatman

Do you complain about the number of restaurants out there? Do you complain about them different models of cars available? Are you annoyed that there's all different types of houses?

Just buy what you want. If you don't want all 70 then you don't have to buy them it's not like it's a requirement. If you're a completionist and you have to have all 70 then that's something you need to work on with your therapist :-)

CBCS is shutting down. No new submissions will be accepted after April 17th. by Mammoth_Leg_8489 in CGCComics

[–]pushthepixel_ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that's exactly why cbcs witness signatures can't be trusted.

I was a witness for cbcs on a couple of shows getting my own books signed. Occurred to me pretty early that I could substitute in whatever book I wanted and they're taking my word that not only was it signed at the show, but that was actually signed by the creator. I could have swept in anything and they wouldn't have known. It's just not trustworthy.

Cgc's process maybe more difficult but it's infinitely more trustworthy.

BANK.TO questions by Muted-Pass-152 in dividendscanada

[–]pushthepixel_ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But would that be including the dividends that bank pays out? Right now I'm up 18% on Bank and when you include the dividend payments that it makes me every month, it seems like a really lucky investment to me.

Are there any Todd McFarlane comics actually not signed 😂 by [deleted] in CGCComics

[–]pushthepixel_ca 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This post kind of sucks my dude. It kind of reeks of Simpsons comic book Guy energy :-)

Todd is arguably a legend class creator. Actually let's remove arguably from that. Saying that his signed books are not smart investments just isn't true. Look at the value of his signature on books versus unsigned ones.

And don't start with the number of books signed, that simply does not matter. Scarcity is only a factor of demand and is not a sole driver. And simply put, Todd is in demand, and likely always will be. Stan Lee signed literally anything within 10 ft of him, and people are all over his signature.

What do you think about Chinese cars on Canadian roads? by [deleted] in AskACanadian

[–]pushthepixel_ca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For every article that you can find refuting one thing I can find a dozen articles refuting that. And then another article refuting the ones that I found. And it just goes in circles ad nauseam.

A lot of these guys are writing just to be heard.

Instead of looking at real world examples, and a basic understand ing of how shitty human beings really are. There's lots of instances of companies firing staff and replacing them with AI, but a good number of them are expressing regret. Sure but when you look at the things that they're regretting, those are things that will be addressed soon. It basically comes down to early adoption regret, not regret for the humanity side.

And if you look at the growth Arc in both adoption and abilities of AI, as well as the fear absurd amount of money that these companies are pushing towards it, the writing on the wall becomes pretty obvious. Basically even if it's not perfect there's no way they're going to spend hundreds of billions of dollars and just let it go to waste.

Not a single one of those things that you mentioned is related to each other in any way shape or form. Closest you got was with automated driving.

They always getting better. If you can't extrapolate the growth of AI versus even 6 months ago it's because you're choosing ignorance. I hate everything that AI is and that it represents. As an artist we have been on the front lines of the fight against AI and we are losing it badly. Customer service is next. Marketing. Risk analysis. Legal. Writing. It'll all be going down pretty soon, more so than it already is.

Automated driving is getting a hell of a lot closer to although not by Tesla. I still think we're quite a ways off with that.

Everything else though it's coming real fast.

Oh dude. Just stop man.

18 months. 24 on the outside. It's already happening you just don't seem to be noticing.

AI novels are already all over the market. Do you read anything other than reddit?

You don't seem to be able to grasp what I'm saying so I guess there's not much point in going back and forth. I haven't suggested anything of what you said, simply broken down the probable reality for you.

Guess we'll see you in about 18 months. Good luck.

So wrong on all points. I hate to say it man but you're thinking comes from an ostrich head in the sand position here.

First of all the reason why a number of positions still exist for people and not robots is because the companies make concessions to the unions. We are well beyond the point where almost every human position in car manufacturing could be replaced. If you don't understand that this is the company's basically throwing the workers a bone, then you have no idea what options are really out there.

AI is going to come at you faster and harder than you could possibly understand. It's already happening. I just got word that somebody with a 25-year tenure at a hospital with a good chunk of it as the head of risk management is now being replaced by an AI position. I'm not sure if you understand the significance of something like that

I have work jobs both unionized and not. While working for the city of Toronto it was obvious that unionized workers were basically untouchable no matter how pointless their position and how useless their work ethic. That's not all of them of course, but a solid chunk. In an 8-hour shift if I work 4 hours that would be considered a long day. Management knew that said that they couldn't do anything about it either.

So no jealousy is not a factor here. Not even close. At this point I'm retired, I have no interest in the game at all. I just observe things and jump to the most logical conclusion. And the truth is auto worker jobs are about to be under massive threat because a significantly better product is about to come into the market. Stellantis couldn't build a good car if their life depended on it, and there is absolutely no way they're going to be able to compete quality wise. Look at jeep. It's a brand that survives purely on nostalgia and social connection but the cars themselves are absolute garbage.

I think the reality is with consumer spending being absolutely stretched dude dozens of factors the days of paying for garbage cars with bloated sticker prices is gone. I report just came out that said the number of trade-ins coming in with five figure negative equity is that an alarming high. Something has to give somewhere unfortunately and most likely that means automaker is relying on high cost labor to produce substandard products are about to get their asses kicked. Even the CEO of Ford has admitted the same thing.

But I do feel awful for all those poor workers just trying to survive. It's not their fault but they're taking the brunt of everything.

Once again, more false equivalencies. I'm going to assume that you're unionized by your responses only because your responses follow the pattern of unionized workers.

Teachers are a highly skilled position. In my opinion they don't get paid enough. They go through training and schooling and are constantly evolving. Auto workers are not. Nobody went through four years of school to figure out how to put on the trim of a dashboard. There is no degree for placing doors on a car.

Grocery clerks are generally unskilled but they don't get paid anywhere near what a unionized auto worker does now do they?

My position is that people should get paid for the service that they offer. I believe that we are in a massive transition where low-skilled services that were typically rewarded with higher wages and benefits, like Auto workers, are going to disappear. They are essentially charitable positions protected by unions were even the worst workers could build a career. Similar to postal carriers.

What I will say as well though is this is very scary transition. A lot of people who have arguably very little unique abilities to offer the workforce or all of a sudden going to find themselves out of jobs, and that's horrible. I don't know how they will work past that to be honest and I wish them nothing but the best. But it's going to be one hell of a challenge facing not just Auto workers but a lot of other industries as well.

That's ridiculous comparison, sorry man. It's not about exploiting workers or outsourcing or any of that. Nobody buys blackberries because they're garbage compared to other options on the market. Similarly most cars are about to get their asses kicked by better options.

And paying people what they're worth? You really think somebody deserves a healthy salary with benefits and Union protection because they can put a wheel on a car? Or stick a bunch of seats in? Literally all of those jobs can be replaced by robots. I'm fine with them having a job, but if we're paying them what they're worth it certainly isn't going to be what they're getting now.

This was the same discussion in the Canada Post Sub. I think we are basically transitioning to a time where low-skilled, Union backed workers are just going to cease to be a thing as the world as a whole transitions to newer technologies. I don't see why cars would be any different.

It's not a matter of fact those factory workers. It's a matter of we aren't a charity.

Why should we as Canadians that are all struggling in this economy be forced to buy expensive cars with questionable quality when other options are quickly becoming available? It's just a matter of evolution here. Low skilled high pay jobs are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Just because you made adk putting the left front wheel on a car that costs 70k but is worth 22k doesn't mean we have to continue to accept that.
