Isn't that what the douchebag who bought it wanted to get rid of? So much for that. Oh wait, we know he's a liar like the big orange buffoon.

A data research company did a comprehensive study of a certain type of business model to find out how the generations perceive it and how to make it more interesting and financially attractive. The company I shill for used it to update their business model, but there was a detail in it that shocked everyone. One of the questions they asked was how individuals wanted business materials disseminated. The younger generations wanted physical media. Catalogs, etc. It was the older generations, like us GenX and Boomers that wanted everything digital. I think we'll be surprised to find that maybe, just maybe, hard copies will come back around as the younger generation tires of the digital world and longs for something more real.

You've clearly never walked around Manhattan or any city with massive skyscrapers. This *is* a problem. Hell, there are spots in LA where there aren't skyscrapers and my GPS mapping fails.

I was basically going to come and say something like this. It's really obnoxious how first amendment rights are thoroughly misused/applied these days.

BlackRock, eh? Where are all the conspiracy nuts talking smack about this?

Only if they continue to act in bad faith. There's stupidity/laziness and then there's malice. Fining someone should put a stop to general stupidity and laziness, but it won't stop people from being complete douchebags.

Under the water, carry the water..

Really? People still buy their garbage? Back when I was still building systems for myself and customers, I quickly learned to stay away from this brand. I see they haven't changed.

I just got a call from a company offering me just that. There are plenty of merchant services who offer such a setup. I've seen it at restaurants around town where they offer a cash discount.

As someone who runs a small business and uses a credit card processing company, I can tell you that the fee structure is FAR more complicated than that. My monthly summary of charges lists 10 different versions of visa charges, five for mastercard, THREE for Discover and one for Amex. The charges range anywhere from .5% + 22 cents all the way up to 2.94 + 10 cents (which isn't Amex or Discover).

I'd mod funny if I had points.

I keep trying to tell people in a facebook group I'm in to stop using chatGPT for product comparisons, but they refuse to listen.. so I take the extra 5-10 minutes to do an actual comparison to show when in fact the AI is wrong (and its about 50%)

Wait what? How did I miss this news about Verizon buying Frontier?

Holy crap. So Frontier begs the govt for a huge handout with the "promise" of rolling out higher speeds, only to turn around and wave the white flag?

Frontier wanders through our neighborhood once every few months trying to get us to switch (I'm sticking with my local, because small business and they've never given me problems). My wife *hates* Frontier because of the crap service and run-around they gave her parents, plus the rep tried to lie to me (the one time I did talk to them) about compared services, saying I was in a worse position with the local. It was easy to pull out my phone and run a speed test to prove them wrong.

Electricity?
