We are members and reserved a spot to see it tomorrow So we can see it well via the web cam but we need the first hand report on the stench. Apparently the flower gives off a rank strong stench with elements of limburger cheese, rotting fish, sweaty socks, sweet floral scent, and feces. Take a pic of paco holding his nose for us.
July 14, 20205 yr Longwood Gardens? I happened to experience it once. It's pretty pungent, but corpse or death isn't quite what it smells like. Some people like the smell of lilies, I think it smells like poop. It's like that but 100x worse.

Is there anything that your opponent could say or do that would justify brandishing a sexist or racist remark or attack? Let’s assume you are otherwise not at all racist or sexist but your intent is to hurt (in self defense) and the only thing you know will hurt is a racist or sexist attack. Is there anything your opponent could have done or said to deserve this? She couldn't have got me a sammich

July 30, 20205 yr Overall all I’m pleased with Congress’ job with the four tech CEOs yesterday. Most off them clearly don’t know what they hell they are talking about but it was fun to see Bezos act like he doesn’t know what’s going on at his own company

To a man (sorry, person) they all have 10x more negative to say about Amazon than any other modern tech company. That’s from an employee point of view C level on down.

My perspective is those working on AWS and in house products like the Alexa line are basically in a different company the retail sales division

I don’t know any that worked with Alexa that I know of but I know several that have worked with AWS.
July 31, 20205 yr Amazon has almost a million employees. Think about that... They’ve designed a number of metrics to squeeze the most out of their warehouse employees. Sure they pay $15 an hour to start, but remember the guy running the company is the world’s richest man. I read somewhere no one in the company makes more than $130k
July 31, 20205 yr Anybody else notice, when using this site on a mobile device, a little nuisance bug where when you scroll down near the bottom of a topic page the scroll jumps around a bit?

Does the page have tweets? I think the jumps are the tweets loading. It happens to me If not then you should let VA and mod12 know about it

It happens to me If not then you should let VA and mod12 know about it I thought perhaps, but no. It happens even on pages where no tweets are embedded. feels like some kind of over-engineered script that tries to read how fast you scroll, and if you scroll too slowly towards the bottom it thinks "oh you wanted to just scroll to this post" and pops back to where the post is. either that or a hash link. I dunno.
