He was a part of the story. The book The Founders goes into the beginnings of PayPal, Ebay, the other players, Elon being brought in, and Elon’s origins. A good read and it’s not all about Musk.

There doesn’t seem to be as much overflowing into non political communities here as at reddit where it’s just overflowing everywhere I find. I think it’s a reflecting of the anxiety many are feeling about the election. Hopefully it dies down in a couple of weeks.

This one too

I love that one plus this one

We’ve seen the same issues with hockey. The use of plastics in shoulder and elbow protections versus the older leathers and felt padding. When delivering a hit both players feel it, today not so much as a plastic shoulder goes into a face it’s more one way.

As much as they have been changing the rules, a crazy part of me wonders if less equipment might help more, like those old leather helmets. Would players not be hitting as hard?

I’m still a little surprised this alone isn’t the end of the GOP, but then there are 432 other things that should have been too.

Simpler is not the solution. I can’t help your confusion or with being hung up on phones versus face to face versus many other types of communication. Sharing my experiences over differences I’ve witnessed and navigated is just that, sharing.

I wonder if he’s going to pull a Trump card and not actually pay anyone in the end

I’m speaking to #2 in the article and how some of differences in communication styles in my workplace that caused fiction between millennials and older Gen’s especially those in industry not sittings at laptops or into IM or facetime.

They are usually doing sales on the road or building things in their shops. The customer service team gets frustrated they can’t get instant answers by email but they won’t try other methods of reaching the customer. Phone is what I choose as it is the one thing we all have versus are they using and actually checking, texts, whatsapp, Telegram, signal, FB Messenger, Kik, snap, facetime, zoom, teams, google meet, twitter, Etc.

As old as phone is, it’s something that will cut through those other questions. So it’s not always generational it can be situational too.

I’ve just started watching Hacks. They do a great job of highlighting the differences between Z and boomers.

The things that were just plain terrible in the workplace the boomers just lived with and worked around like sexual harassment horrified and shutdown the Gen Z character, while the boomers just figured ways around it best they could being woman without much say in their times. They were laughing about it in retrospect, especially rejoicing in the sexual harasser boss being dead.

Those women put up with a lot of sh8t and trail blazed for their time. That’s not to say any of it was right. As a Gen X it’s interesting the different worlds we all have been raised in.

Unfortunately many customers in my industry are of the older age set and they aren’t glued to their devices or computers so the only way to get them quickly is by phone. That still works for immediately resolution of issues. I prefer email for the CYA aspect but some issues can’t wait days or weeks of back and forth. A phone call with that older generation is fast acting.

To alert staff when customers have eaten the cake and it needs to be replenished

I’ve yet to see any footage yet and with all these comments now I’m wondering if bumbling Bush Jr looks like a genius now compared to these guys…

Today after reading this I’m sure I’m taking crazy pills…

I think of the absolute horror and the whole news cycle dedicated to a tan suit…

I saw a crazy Instagram video where the citizens are upset they are only trying to clean up the river for the Olympics not for the people that live there. They were trying to start a viral campaign to have everyone Sh8t in the river after the clean up is done.

I wonder if $45,000 even covers the cost of 1 or 2 of those clean ups?

I ended up on this last year as I was exploring the South West. I found it confusing even as a Canadian.

I then later was confusion when Google Maps told me to go 80 on Hwy 10 in Texas once I came up from Big Bend NP. I thought the GPS was confused. 80 kms on the highway in the US? It was then I realized I wasn’t in Oregon anymore with their 60 mph highways. Texas goes fast and even 80 mph isn’t enough for most people. Even the single lane highways with construction workers was 65 mph work zones in Texas.

It was the most amount of road kill I’ve ever seen in all my travels. I think at one stage a herd of goats must of tried to cross the highway based on the carnage I came across. I finally understood the reason for the huge bumpers on the front of trucks in Texas now.

I like to say a little before that time but it was in the early 80s
