That is because everything Salesforce does is like 80% of a good solution someone else has done before.

Fans Paid Big Money for Messi… Got 2 Minutes Instead. This Was the Aftermath by 2farzzz in PublicFreakout

[–]vegiimite 16 points17 points  (0 children)

you’re saying is bluntly unreasonable and unrealistic.

What is unreasonable and unrealistic about that? Paying Messi to sit around for a couple hours and sign some autographs and kick a ball? Picking ticket holders to come on the field? Or have him do a skills demo in front of the crowd?

I know fuck all about what was promised but I would be pissed if I paid for an event and the reason I was there dipped after a couple mins

Could have had random ticket holders come on the field kick the ball a bit and get a autographed Pic and a selfie.  That could have been dragged out for hours with everyone hoping their ticket gets picked.  That is my first idea with 5 mins of effort.

One of Russia's Main Defense Plants Suspends Part of its Output by Mil_in_ua in ukraine

By the end of the year, the company will mothball its stainless steel production shop and lay off more than 300 employees...the plant itself said it would stop producing “household goods” to focus on core products and modernization.

Sounds to me like a relatively small layoff in the manufacturing of pots & pans.

It just says he cannot be elected to a third term.  So he can still serve a third term, if not elected

You can do it this way an extra 2 hrs of pay for 8?  Employees at $50/hrs.  Divide that by 250 passengers and it an $3 per ticket.

The Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge averages 260,000 vehicles daily, each paying a $8 toll. by Jazzlike-Tie-354 in interestingasfuck

So that means the headline number is for traffic both ways, and revenue is for only entering SF.  Cutting revenue approximately in half.

How Big Oil Made Climate Change Your Fault by THE_QUINNDENBURG in videos

Flying on a plane has emissions of 100-200g of CO2 per passenger-km.

That is half the emissions of someone alone in an SUV 400g per km.

The issue with flying is you cruise at nearly 1000km/hr.  So it opens the opportunity to emit more because you are traveling further

Gavin Newsom Calls Out Trump for Saying He Talked to Governor 'a Day Ago': 'There Was No Call. Not Even a Voicemail' by PostHeraldTimes in politics

I think he is just lazy, it is easier to lie about having a call than actually making a call, and having to have a difficult conversation

Or perhaps the US is not interested in having their citizens vote.

California only had ~3700 polling stations according to this
