I see your 465 miles and raise you the seaport of Duluth-Superior, 2,342 miles inland from the Atlantic. The zenith of the freshwater seas and a marvel of North American engineering and geography.
Yo, @Delta , love you guys. Diamond here. Why do you have to train ground crew on a flight that is already 4 hours late? I literally just watched them unload all these bags, just so they can train on loading them again... Grrr. DL3846 at MSP
@lucareverie@LindySalesGuy I disagree here. If I were him, I would hit up the major software providers for car dealerships. DMSs and what not. Supreme competitive advantage as a seller to have real world experience in the field you're selling into.
Today as the Dead faithful celebrated the life of Bob Weir, John Mayer delivered perhaps the only “Ripple” that’s ever made me smile-cry… Highly suggest.😔
@dieworkwear Dude, Im a big fan. Always appreciate your sartorial takes. But, I did a major eye roll when you posted the note about the Oxford dude's attire. You would have skewered him if he was a conservative. We can all do better about not letting tribalism ruin our takes along everything.
30 years ago today, I made my Major League debut in Montreal. I got to Olympic Stadium so early they had to find someone to let me in the clubhouse because it was locked.(noon for a 7:30 game) I walked into my first Big League clubhouse and it was just me, all alone. No players, no coaches, no clubbies. I saw my Expos #7 jersey with Santangelo on the back hanging in my locker. It was a surreal moment. I was by myself, finally in a major league clubhouse, with a moment to reflect on how hard I had worked and how much I had sacrificed to get there. After about 15 minutes, my manager Felipe Alou walked in and came right to me in my locker and said congratulations. He then, as the story goes, went and wrote my name in the lineup saying “the kid is here early, he’s more ready than anyone in that clubhouse.” I hit 8th that night and started in left field. I went 2 for 3 with a triple from the right side for my first big league hit and a single from the left side. I learned after I retired that it was supposed to be a 3-day call-up as a reward for being in the minors for 6 years. I turned that 3 days into 7 years. Since that day I’ve been early to everything because you just never know. Happy anniversary to me. 30 years later the whole thing still seems like a dream, like it never happened. But it did! And I’m proud of that…
A lesson I wish I learned earlier: It’s perfectly ok to live a life that’s confusing to others. Go to bed at 8. Wake up at 4. Eat real foods. Go on long walks. Obsess over one thing. Read old books. Don’t gossip. Be loved by a few. Recipe for a good life.
@JeremiahDJohns I have worked in call center tech all my career. Every call has a cost associated with it. Carriers are incentivized to not block any of these calls, because they get paid for every one. Laws and regulations only hurt legitimate players. The nefarious actors face no consequences
Consider the political impact of AI ingesting and quickly summarizing long-winded legislation (with all the pork and skulduggery involved) and surfacing all of it to the citizenry.
Within seconds/minutes.
It'll be a new form of political reporting.
