I'm interested in this just to know how it works and its limitations because I'm involved in teaching people this stuff. InReach's just work. It sounds like the Iphone solution maybe doesn't?
Unlike here, having to restrain myself on LinkedIn as a professional. A company made a post about Indigenous Peoples Day and I really, REALLY want to comment something snarky, as one of the most prominent companies in the industry is going through some ongoing and much deserved litigation from a tribe that this company recently tried dicking over pretty blatantly. I'm 100% on the tribe's side and something I've been raising the alarm about.
Anyway, it's the faux niceness on LinkedIn that drives me absolutely insane. Yes, I also can't stand when people get political on there either, but MAN some of the bad players really need to be called out more often, yet so many are afraid to.
Even I'm being a pussy about it because I'm still trying to break in to the industry to begin with and don't want to cross the wrong people. I already screwed up on that royally in a recent panel interview... and didn't get the job for. They asked what I had to say about a certain controversial subject and how I would navigate it in a tricky negotiation. It's something I'm QUITE familiar with, so in my discussion I mentioned the company by name who so egregiously screwed the pooch, and then after I wrapped up, one of the guys was like "I worked for X company for years" and the tone definitely shifted after that. Got my rejection a couple days later. Doh!!! It's true tho. That company is a known major dickhead in the field and was running around with reckless abandon. Basically the domestic version of BP. But sheeit. I messed that one up. Haha.
Linkedin sucks. Back in the day it was a different animal but today it's become the victim of a generation of social media faggots.Quote:

Google did not. I don’t think the burden should be on the originator to adapt to another format, UNLESS there were humanitarian reasons to do so.
Same for google. It would really cost either of them peanuts to have a truce for emergency communications sake.
I saw this a while back.Quote:

It annoys me when someone builds a sky scraper next to my sky scraper.
College kids. I'm hopeful they'll be back with garbage bags. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c71346248a.jpg
at least they were mixing in some waters.
They were probably late for the Greenpeace rally.
Coming from a WVU background, I’ve never seen so many water bottles.Quote:

So now I gotta go back and get it switched out. This shit annoys me.
It's annoying sitting home waiting for the service guy to show up and figure out why the furnace won't kick on.
It's probably a pressure switch.Quote:

I am now banned from making such service calls.
Turned out to be a defective thermostat that they installed when we got the new AC last summer. The spring clip holding the red wire to the furnace had a dead spring. 4 days with no heat overnight had the house down to 53 before sunrise today. That sucked.
Bear cub on my deck who couldn't figure out how to get off annoyed me. Eventually he figured out how to get down the stairs and out without breaking anything. Never saw mama. The little guy sounded pretty scared after I yelled at him.
GET OFF MY DECK!!!!!
Trying to create a new password for a website I need to access. Far as I can tell I am following all the rules but each new password I create gets rejected with no explanation why. After a few attempts I am now locked out. :fuckyou:
Wtf did the Musk thread get locked for?
Does he own the tgrs and get butthurt that most here think he's a douche??!?!
You’re asking this question on a duct tape & baling wire forum that regularly has weird shit happen & eventually get fixed?

I just had 3 in a row. Maybe I was close each time? The thing is, I don’t care. I don’t want to care. I don’t want to know. I just want to answer my post doctor’s appointment dumbass questionnaire about my “experience” so they’ll stop sending me emails, or make sure I give them all 10s so they treat me well when I come back.
My name has been wrong on my passport for three decades. It was the short version of my first name instead of my full first name. I am trying to correct it now because it always causes an annoyance at the airport when flying internationally. The process is annoyingly tedious. I'm having to fill out all these name change request forms and going back and forth with bureaucratic nonsense and snail mail. Paying extra money too, which is complete bullshit. But as long as I can easily get out of this country a few times in the next year it will be worth it I guess.
Give'm hell Rudy!
That's how it works with Uber drivers and Airbnbs, not doctors, at least not yet. Doctors who get good ratings get bonuses, those who get lousy ratings get dropped. No negative to you if you rate low. So flame away.Quote:

fact.
I won't drink that shit. It doesn't taste like oranges. But I'll probably have to.
When I was a kid my brother and I would take that can out of the freezer, cut it in two, and eat it like a popsicle.
Podcasts.
People talk way too much anymore.
Agree.Quote:
