Even if a committee proposed they buy them, the entire city council would have had to vote on them.

If you want to send me his name, I can look. I know a lot of the ones from this area are no longer there.

So the announcement was made today and the number was 1,750 or 10% of employees. I know many people that were impacted. Everyone from L2 (lowest level management) to L6 (the highest level). I don't know of anyone in a customer facing role that was impacted. Some departments like training lost over 1/3 of the people and engagement was decimated. Some trainers have been offered roles in other departments. I know some of them are coming to my dept. They also announced that except for the Athens call center that opened last year they are closing the other 4 call centers and everyone would be virtual. These numbers are world wide and not just in the US. The severance package for US employees is 10 weeks of pay, and benefits and equity investing being covered till the end of March.

I misunderstood what you said, I thought you meant they were laid off when they got sent home March of 2020. A lot of management got laid off in Aug. I know a bunch of them from the old BF site got it. Some I was sad for, a few I laughed because of karma.

They didn't lay people off when they closed the call center. All were transferred to WFH. A lot ended up quitting afterwards. The rumors are most of the layoffs are going to be corporate and Frontline employees along with a number of mid level management.

NY only has about 350 people that work for Wayfair, but I know a large number of those are in this area. https://www.reuters.com/technology/wayfair-prepares-cut-more-than-1000-jobs-wsj-2023-01-19/

My seeds arrived today and as always they threw in a free pack of seeds, but it's nothing I am interested in growing. The package of spoon tomato seeds is free to anyone that wants to try and grow them. https://www.rareseeds.com/spoon-tomato

They haven't appointed any one yet, or have not announced it. No, City Council resets next January/.

My seeds are ordered and on the way. I am planning on growing everything from seed this year. I got all mine from Baker Creek.

I found some small greenhouses that will fit over these. So I saved this video with the idea to make some of these.

I'm pretty sure his grandmother already did most of that. I know they said at some point they are living off what he inherited from his mother.

Sometimes it takes a station a few weeks or months to get the notification from the FCC that they have changed the call letters. Until that happens you will hear them sneak in the "Legal ID" somewhere between :50-:10 the hour.

People are confusing the call letters with the frequency. FLN is going to be on 94.3. WLVY, WEHH, WELM are all going to simulcast on 1600 AM/93.9 FM and 1410 AM/106.5 FM. Since they are on 93.9, I am assuming they will still call it 94 Rock. Whatever format was on WEHH previously is gone. You also have to remember that different frequencies also have different coverage areas.

94.3 FM will be FLN. WLVY will now simulcast with WEHH 1600 AM/93.9 FM and WELM 1410 AM/106.5 FM. $450,000 seems like a good deal. To bad about 99% of the listeners will be changing the station once the format changes.

This is where I learned about it. The funeral home in Washington has been posting videos about it for a while now. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRb9dBkX/

The human composting process breaks down bones and teeth through a combination of microbial and mechanical means. Microbes do the primary work of human composting. By controlling the ratio of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and moisture, human composting creates the perfect environment for microbes and beneficial bacteria to thrive. These microbes are assisted by mechanical steps to help complete the transformation into soil. Recompose staff rotate each Recompose vessel at several points during the process to ensure thorough aeration and decomposition, which helps to break up any remaining bone fragments and teeth. Recompose staff also screen for non-organics such as implants, which are recycled whenever possible. At the end of the composting process, fragments remaining that are larger than one centimeter are processed using the same equipment that is used to process bone in conventional cremation. Soil is tested for safety and screened before it is returned to families or the environment. The final soil may include small bone fragments, which are safe and will continue to break down and return to the environment over time. https://recompose.life/our-model/

Just finished streaming the movie. TBH I am so out of touch with everything I don't even know if I knew it was released this year. This one stars Robert Pattinson (Batman), Zoe Kravitz (cat woman), and Colin Farrell (penguin). This is an origin story for Batman. It is from the beginning when it was just an experiment for Bruce Wayne. It starts 2 years into the experiment, but still before Batman has the confidence that he shows later in life. The batmobile is more like a muscle car from the 60-70s. I have never been a fan of Robert Pattinson and previously thought his best acting was done after he died in Harry Potter. The movie is very dark and gritty. It also shows a ton of violence. Which is normal for movies from DC. But the story is good and a fun watch.

I am surprised you have never been there. The garbage omelet is a regular omelette has sausage, bacon, and ham along with all kinds of vegetables in it.

We all know Ann's is a great place to go for an affordable and hearty breakfast. The LA French Toast is is to die for. The garbage omelet is also fantastic. I just returned home from going there for dinner. The dinner menu only has about 1/2 a dozen choices. I had the chicken fried steak with brown gravy. My wife had the fish fry. Each was very good. Both were reasonable priced and all dinners come with 2 sides.

It does seem to have that vibe. Still fun to watch.

It is as hokey and lame as you expect it to be, but somehow it is still fun to watch. It was filmed during the filming of Galaxy 3. Plus it has Kevin Bacon in it.
