  • Teams

  • Teams wasn't specifically built for remote work though. It was built for internal chat/messaging, document sharing, planning, etc. It is 100% used internally at MS even when people aren't working remotely.

    I know because people at MS have been complaining about it since a few years before the pandemic.

  • From what I've seen, letter mail is going down in use and costing more every year. That's a money pit.

    I 100% agree that it doesn't have to make money, and can operate at a loss, but the losses are growing at an unsustainable rate.

    So, all I'm saying is that something has to change.

    Even the union is saying something has to change. They've said many times that CP is being mismanaged and have proferred ideas for changes (like having postal workers become wellness checkers as well.) I can make a bunch of suggestions that I think are great ideas, but I'm no expert.§

    But, it seems to me that the first thing that needs to change is the charter, so that the operations can change without being handcuffed by its antiquated rules.

    Again, change doesn't have to mean eliminating jobs. The jobs can change to something more efficient and useful.

    § some other ideas I've heard or have thought of: changing the daily delivery model to an address focused one; rapid local delivery services; reducing home delivery and using community mail boxes (and pairing this with being able to register for home delivery on an as-needed-basis); becoming competitive in the parcel/e-commerce delivery space; getting into returns management for e-commerce (which could help with the waste and scams issues here too); Postal banking; Digital ID verification (like the banks do now for example); etc.

  • I didn't describe shit. I just said it needs to change. I didn't even say they need to turn a profit. They shouldn't waste money just because of a bunch of arbitrary rules that were set out decades ago. I even said the changes didn't have to eliminate jobs.

  • Agreed, but it can't just be a money pit. Something has to change, and it doesn't necessarily mean eliminating jobs.

  • “This immediately impacts Russia because Delhi is now on the phone with Putin in Moscow, and Narendra Modi asks him, ‘Hey, I support you, but could you explain to me the strategy because I have now been hit by 50 per cent tariffs by the United States’,” Mr Rutte said, in the interview published on Sept 25.

    Sounds like he was talking about a hypothetical call to me.

  • I don't think I've ever had a Voyager crash, but this is the behaviour when you close the app without sending a comment. Agreed it's not super helpful.

  • Something something false prophets blah blah blah...

  • I'd never heard of it...

  • Plus the Great Chicago Fire said to have been started by Mrs O'Leary's cow knocking over a lantern in a barn.

    Fire: 1871 Flood: 1992

  • This is more of an ad for The Narwhal than an article.

  • Why mark this as NSFW?

  • Him: What is with these creephounds?!? Me: They creeps!

    I hope you both mean Facebook and not the targeted men.

    I very rarely use them but when I do I am targeted non-stop by FB and especially Insta with pictures of young girls. It's absolutely disgusting and embarrassing (if someone sees it.) The search page is the worst. I don't click on any of them, I scroll past them as fast as possible in my feed, I don't like or follow anything like that, and yet it never stops. And that's one of the main reasons I won't use them other than to communicate with specific family members or friends.

  • Thanks Pete! We needed a little pick me up, I think our elbows were sagging.

  • There might be a mission in one of the Gears of Wars like this. It sounds vaguely familiar.

  • It's marketing making them think they want to own that stuff.
