Okay, @brad_polumbo - you might not know because you’re neither a soldier nor a lawyer and you listen to the regime media, but “war crimes” has a specific meaning. That meaning is not merely anything you dislike about armed conflict, particularly something that is devastatingly effective against our enemy.
What, precisely, is the alleged war crime, and what binding authority upon the United States of America makes it a crime? You need to be specific here because you’re using a specific term with a specific meaning, and you are used to get intentionally because of the moral power of the term. Of course, that moral power is decreasing every day as the term is used frivolously, like “genocide” and “racism.”
What’s the war crime? What makes it a crime for a president of the United States?
Spoiler: There isn’t one. I’d just appreciate you being intellectually honest enough to concede that.

Just casually threatening war crimes while changing the deadline for the 8th time. Random insane "praise be to Allah" thrown in on Easter for the meme of it all, or something. Trump is not mentally fit for office.

@Chris96489546 @michaelpatron0 Usually weekly. Spends about an hour brushing the sides of the pool, emptying the skimmer baskets, back flushing the filter and adjusting the chemicals. It’s easy to do it yourself but @michaelpatron0 is a busy guy.
English
I guessed that.
More like, how often does a pool guy need to come to your house, how much effort required etc.
Can a pool guy be replaced by some random robotic contraption that sucks stuff up and fires chlorine out the back etc.
A pool guy seems a 90s film kind of accessory. But i have no idea as to the reality.

My house is kinda small but I hate doing stuff so I pay a pool guy and lawn guy. My pool guy just does chemicals. He texts me the other day and says I need a new filter and vacuum. I told him I'm busy and to just tell me what he wants to handle it. He texted me back...

@Chris96489546 @michaelpatron0 Balancing the chemistry so unwanted plants do not grow in your pool. Also the kids pee in the pool so - yah. Chlorine is needed.
English
@michaelpatron0 What does doing the chemicals involve?
Im from the uk, so no one has a pool here.

@eternaltxts Get a job as a server in a restaurant. Many lessons to learn there

I’m 21. Give me oddly specific life tips. No general ”surround yourself with positive people” tips. I want the most random, specific advice possible.

@xandy_mills The end of 3p. The only way to stay is go 1p and treat Amazon like every other retailer. Which simplifies your business but surrenders the channel.

Amazon fees have only ever gone up. This trend really isn’t sustainable for sellers. Not sure how or when this will ever end.

My community has $15b of yearly sales on Amazon with 800+ members. These are small businesses. They employ real Americans and support local communities. They do not have large margins to absorb shocks. Every year Amazon squeezes them more and supports overseas Chinese sellers instead of local American businesses. Now Amazon is hitting sellers with even more of a squeeze all back to back: 1.Amazon has moved many sellers to DD+7 Meaning funds are held until 7 days after delivery, not simply paid out on the old cadence. 2.Amazon just added a 3.5% fuel/logistics surcharge on fulfillment fees. 3.To top it off now Amazon Ads charges will be pulled directly from disbursements rather than floating on a credit card. That combination matters. Amazon already forces sellers into an environment where ads dominate visibility. So now the same platform that pressures brands to spend more on ads is also tightening payout timing and pulling more cash out before sellers ever see it. For a very large business, this is just a minor annoyance. But for a small business making payroll just got 50x harder. Less cash on hand means: less inventory more stockouts more debt more strain on small teams and ultimately a worse customer experience This is not “supporting small business.” It is starving the brands that create so much of the value customers come to Amazon for. @WSJ @business @nytimesbusiness @BusinessInsider @ReutersBiz @CNBC @APBusiness If you’re covering Amazon, local communities hit by a hard economy and large companies trying to squeeze hardworking Americans hit me up.

We must turn on the turf irrigation system. We have 11 meters. Where are they? No one knows because our previous team never made a map.

Can confirm as a project manager I have mastered the bullshit
Fesshole🧻@fesshole
I've worked in IT for 30yrs. All the honest people work in technical roles. All the bullshitters work in Project Management. It's a good system, because sometimes you need someone to bullshit for you and it's second nature to most PMs.

@michaelpatron0 Time to get out. Take your chips off the table.

Top listing is down on Amazon. Here is where I stand:
1. Amazon started using AI to change product detail pages but not notifying sellers or having us approve this. I notice they changed our title to our top listing so I clicked the disagree button to change it back to the..

@MarkWoeppel Pretty sure the Smithsonian has Neil Armstrong's & Apollo 11's immigration document on display after going to the moon.

I’m wondering if those astronauts are checking w immigration before they enter the moon’s airspace. They might be illegal aliens.

Later, I implemented an HOA website - for two years the previous regime couldn’t figure out how to do it, I did it in a week. Email blasts? Included. News items? Included. Storage of governance docs and budgets? Included.

Today - well actually it was about a month ago in HOA news, our entire maintenance staff walked off the job. I am happy about this outcome, we do not have to fire them. Two people are standing by to fill those jobs. It's fun being on the board!

@MarkWoeppel A week on the job, and people are dying to leave you.

Today in HOA news…. One of our maintenance team dropped dead on the job. Literally.

@UndercoverIndy My Gibson would go out of tune the minute I started playing it. A beautiful guitar but…
English
Gibson guitars are boutique quality rigs that are extremely fragile by nature because of a design flaw. Unlike Fender with it's solid Maple neck and straight headstock Gibson thought it was a good idea to get the angle of the headstock wrong and then thought it was an even better idea to make their necks out of Mahogany. Not to mention their neck joints have zero structural support because in order to achieve that 17 degree break angle over the nut the wood had to be made quite thin and once you add the truss rod access hole in the same location then you are asking for a disaster. So do I think Gibson guitars are as durable as Fenders? Absolutely not, but the entire premise of my conversation this morning wasn't about durability, it was about esthetics. It is my opinion that Gibson guitars are far more esthetically pleasing to the eye than either a Strat or a Tele. Fender guitars are workhorses that can be road hard and put away wet because Leo didn't care about esthetics, he cared about durability. 🤷♀️

@UndercoverIndy it’s partly (or most of) the reason why they were created from the beginning, as an industrial product to be produced in masses. Gibson is a luthier business (a very expensive luthier business in my opinion, and then they get the headstock angle wrong…)
