A mid sized company I work with did some in-house analytics on their advertising spending and concluded that 75% was just money wasted

Several million dollars cut from future ad budgets with no negative revenue impact

Natural gas furnaces still need electricity to run the blower and exhaust fans

What are each of their earnings and prospective earnings?

Market cap isn’t 1:1 with units sold

Maybe “lune” is how we are supposed to refer to moon people 🤷‍♂️

Amazon often states in their agreement with sellers that the manufacturer can’t sell for less than Amazon.

Amazon also scrapes sites and lowers prices automatically when other places outprice them. It was interesting seeing this happen irl at a place I used to work at

Was it a baseball? It bounced quite a bit and looked a lot like a light rubber ball

The ball they used to demo it again this time probably wouldn’t have broken a pair of reading glasses

It’s what people thought modernity would look like back in the 70’s and 80’s - all function and no form

And was probably just waiting for you to lose your cool so he could make it much worse for you

Passing a cop is illegal?

That is way too small a car to be in when an elephant decides to go ham on your ride

Or even worse - PIPs exist as a paper trail that that shows the employee knew they were on the chopping block

I’ve rarely seen people’s PIP fairly evaluated; they are just fired at the end of the PIP term

“a bunch”?

Container ships can carry over 200K tons

How many mini split heat pumps and air exchangers did you put into your place

Overall, we should be net $5K with an installer because of rebates, but it’s good to know cheaper alternatives are available

How does a mini split system work? Does it plumb into traditional ducting?

Edit: just looked them up. Also found out that a friend out East with an older, oil heater house (no central ducting) was quoted a mini split for their place at over $20K

Our place is a four bedroom, two storey with a basement. I wonder if a mini split with the requisite air handlers would be cheaper

On a side note, we have a West facing room with large windows that I have to run a portable AC and space heater in as it’s temp is always extreme vs the rest of the house. A mini split just for that room would be great

I’m not sure, likely somewhere between 5-7 years.

We wouldn’t have done it if our furnace wasn’t shot. As a plus our A/C leaked it’s freon in the winter, so replacing it was an improvement as well.

$12K for the heat pump and furnace. We’re expecting a $7K rebate (did the replacement before the audit because the old furnace died)

The heat pump I just had installed in SW Ontario hands over heating duty at -10C to the gas furnace

Israel could also stop the annexation of Palestinian land and the murders of Palestinian civilians, but doesn’t

The only reason Israel hasn’t wiped out Gaza and the West Bank and taken those areas as part of Israel is that they believe that a full-on intense genocide would be too much for the world to let go. Whether or not that fear is true is something we may find out now in Gaza

I don’t know if deeper thread branching is a good idea. I’m already struggling to find Slack comments from people who are in multiple channels and DMs each with various threads off of a main comment
