we reduced sales volume for the year by 7% because of consumer spending in the US and because of Canadian impact due to tariffs and political situation meanwhile it’ll be harder (maybe not possible?) to get a covid-vaccine later this year? and the budget proposal is fucked if there’s not a big democratic sweep in midterms we are fucked as a country maybe the west coast can band together again like last time - definitely feeling more and more like WA should hold federal taxation and use it to fix our own shit at this point
glad y’all took that seriously and hope you have a quick recovery with minimal lasting consequences. that sounds scary in the moment and i don’t know how the majority of people who don’t live in a city with a major, major healthcare network like we do manage these things. id imagine they don’t.
being "encouraged" to apply to a conservation cohort comprised of members of some of the larger outdoor recreation nonprofits across the united states on paper it looks like a great opportunity and a good way to get connected with people who love climbing, running, surfing, kayaking, etc., all across the country, who are deeply involved with their organization(s), and who want to get involved with public advocacy and policy making as it relates to public lands conservation and outdoor recreation kickoff retreat in colorado for a few days and then a full week in dc later this year if i were to get in
i cannot for the life of me place that park. somewhere up in richmond beach area? looks like a great park, nice that you got a ferry in it! gotta hang this still. dealing with some food poisoning though so not happening today.
i have seen multiple people on instagram talking about how they discredit corey bookers filibuster because he made some pro israel remarks and didn’t support palestine during the filibuster this is one of many reasons why i don’t like progressives
it’s probably obvious from this past week on here that i don’t have patience for disingenuous or otherwise completely out of touch comments and views. apologies on if the related and ensuing drama was a bit much… …small acts of resistance: - team who reports to me, all members, PTO requests currently blanket approved. (note that team performance is well past “good”, and I have a team where people have immediate relatives in puerto rico, taiwan, or israel) - purchased a rather nice folding saw which ive used before to facilitate trail maintenance work this summer - planning to get use out of it on urban trails around here and in the more “real” wilderness. - monetary donations to certain nonprofits important to me - emailing and calling my state senators and local house reps not quite sure what else to do tbh.
time for more good news what ya got
this was a fun game, which of these have people i know partook in recently (let's say this year), or are things i know people still like...all the bold ones. not really sure what the point of the article was? but i am pretty culturally removed from...most things...that the author was discussing.Today, these proverbial junk piles contain more than just scooters, but also IPAs, escape rooms, listicles, smash burgers, Garden State, MySpace, brunch, @shitmydadsays, tight jeans, sans serif fonts, life hacks, axe throwing bars, Williamsburg, speakeasies, Urban Outfitters, electroclash, fast casual bowls, food trucks, food delivery apps, ridesharing apps, laundry apps—apps for every conceivable action—and even 44th US President Barack Obama himself.
What is “Adult Day Centre” from the street sign image on that page? I can’t determine if it’s a social housing program thing or a bar! Congrats on the house!
my friends at Harborview spend too much time on patients who did dumb shit on lime scooters
this is now a good news sub thread of pubski
So sorry for your loss. That is far too early in life to decide it's time to go.
scheming for the summer, have some interesting mountain objectives just got back from near a week in mexico, rock climbing! first time in mexico, certainly was an interesting experience. on the branch council as safety officer for an outdoors organization now. also on a climbing committee and restarting a trail running one. have some interesting trail running opportunities this summer too. at the point in my climbing and running where im known enough to get a fair amount of invites and am fortunate enough to have a boss who gets it. I recall an argument with kleinbl00 about vacation time flexibility from a few(?) years ago - I’ve realized that I wasn’t necessarily wrong (LOL) in that conversation, but there’s a lot, lot more specificity and nuance on when and where that can be tolerated than I was willing to listen to back then. Feeling fortunate for the now in a lot of ways.
One thing kb, ay, have touched on - if you do come across a company and role that you’re interested in, apply right away or send an email right away. If you’re looking on job boards, sort by most recent postings. More people are starting to figure that out. Not all of this is malicious on the hiring end - case in point, I work in a somewhat niche field in CPG. The last two roles in my department we’ve hired for, both hired in the last 3 months, we had to pull the posting offline within 36 hours because we get way too many applicants to reasonably sort through (we’re a place that does actually read this shit so…take that for what you will). Job 1: upwards of 80 worth-reading, not junk, applicants within 36 hours. Remote, entry level and underpaid job. Job 2: upwards of 110 worth-reading, not junk, applicants within 36 hours. Remote, entry level, and underpaid job. Great benefits for both jobs though.
there’s definitely no, NO, possible way that tariffs announced on vehicles produced outside the United States is a way to obscure the Atlantic posting the entirety, unredacted, of the war plans they were texted. no way. how does this shit end for trump and the rest of these assholes
This just sounds like bad or missing management. Do what you can, and keep looking for a better work environment for yourself. The cabin sounds great! Cabin's even on a rainy day are hard to beat. We have a slight, I think 2% to 4% last I looked, chance of tornado later today here which is...not normal.
think im going to periodically pop a good news sub thread into pubskis moving forward. those were some really nice comments from yall last week! going ice climbing montana for the weekend. definitely nervous for the flight after the reagan thing yesterday even though i know that was a very very different situation.
a thanks really does go a long way! i can’t think at a global scale this days, it’s too much of a bummer for me.
Bad bad week for federal employees. Entire districts of USFS employees, gone…USDA and USFW employees? Gone. NASA? Gone. Where’s the judicial system and where’s the Democratic Party? Especially, where’s all the people who voted third party or didn’t vote at all.
good news: my bonus pays out this friday
Dude im sick of your shit on RFK JR. he’s Going after SSRIs already which will impact no fewer than 5 people close to me if they cannot easily get access to them. Let me know where the health and access to healthcare are at for your and people close to you in the next four years and ill do the same. We’ll see just what an advantaged, privileged bubble you’re in.
printed and framed a 24x36 photo i took in north cascades National park a couple of years ago! really happy with how it turned out and was happy to pay a premium to get it done by the local shop a mile away.
there’s a massive and lengthy “yes, and” response to this but im too tired and lazy to type it out our product costs less than $3 each and we haven’t raised prices this year
LOL can you please take a video of your drop test. 45 times is a weirdly specific number. Oh, we also have to drop it on concrete from 1 meter 45 times without functional impairment. Yeah.
who’s the biggest bastard between hegseth, rfk jr, and linda mcmahon not political news, ordered a decently large print of a photo i took while out on a climb two years ago. excited to see what it looks printed and framed, and to start a photo wall! one goal this year is to take more photos with my lil sony camera, so far, have taken a few days worth of shots!
What’s “wrong” about how you enjoy coffee and what were they saying is the “right” way? The only impediment was being repeatedly told my way of enjoying coffee is wrong. Keep it to yourself coffee-bitches.
I was a healthy 32 year old last year. Forgot to get my seasonal flu vaccine. Got the flu. Didn’t fight it off. Developed pneumonia. I was a couple days off hospitalization. I eat healthy, I run ultras, I lift weights. The odds are in my favor for that to not happen. But it did. Sure wish I had remembered to get vaccinated. I don’t expect me or cgod to change your mind. I hope it gives you some pause, though.
spent 90 minutes today with the partners family, listening to their first and second hand stories of how they escaped Vietnam starting about a month prior to the fall of Saigon leading to getting on a boat out of Saigon at 3am the morning of surrender, through escaping to the Philippines, Guam, and eventually, the United States. Deeply, deeply sobering and humbling shit. Anyone have any nonfiction book recommendations related to Vietnam?
What does a successful FDA look like to you?
i can recommend a few radio stations if you’re looking for that sort of that. heck maybe we can even get a bluesreviews of them.
