Amazon workers strike at multiple facilities as Teamsters seek labor contract

Workers at seven Amazon facilities are on strike. The union said that the workers are joining the picket line Thursday after Amazon ignored a Sunday deadline the union set for contract negotiations.

It's not because they say so. They breached the trust by their public action. And given they want you to give fill name and address for a shipping quote if you order for them, consider this when giving that kind of information.

There are sometimes discussions about an end-to-end encrypted private social media e-mail chat network 🤯 Basically you could follow delta chat profiles and subscribe and probably react to their encrypted broadcasts ....

This and many other discussions are the "humus" on which #deltachat evolves and, for example, became a super-app: Android 1.50.3 spearheads direct #webxdc app picking via the "attach" chat action. Actually #cheogram and #monocles, both #xmpp messengers, released this first!

Two years ago we spotted #curl in the TV series Tschugger:

curl sighting: Tschugger

In the Swiss crime comedy TV series Tschugger, season two episode two at roughly 25:20, there is a shot with a curl command line in a terminal window using an unnecessary --request option.

Una lectura cuidadosa del artículo demuestra tres cosas para nada buenas:
El titular es falso.
Al final, siempre pierde el de siempre: el cliente final!
Los premios pagados no llegan ni al 10 % de lo recibido por las pólizas contratadas.
Al final hay un bocadito de Hacienda, quizás no tan grande pero siempre se paga!

Cómo celebrar el Gordo de Navidad sin sufrir el bocado de Hacienda a los premios de la lotería

Ganar un premio importante en la Lotería de Navidad y pensar en el dineral que acaba perdiendo el apostante en beneficio de Hacienda nunca pone de buen humor. El erario se alimenta con el 20 por ciento del importe de los premios superiores a 40.

On this day 4 years ago, I married @missunderstood. We'd been "together" for 14 years and some change before this through 2 years of college, moving from there in with her parents briefly, then into 2 of our own rentals before having a child, to a third place then me finding a job and finally moving to our current home 10 years ago and buying it a few years later.

She honestly balances me in a way nobody in my life ever has. For everything I can't do well, there she is. Someone I can talk to about anything and laugh with about everything. Someone who, despite waking up together over 6,700 mornings, always has something fresh to say, new to learn, and fun to enjoy. I am never bored in her company and almost always surprised by something new each and every day. Our relationship is one of mutual respect for the other. We have a child, and a home, and a life I would never have imagined back before we met almost 2 decades ago. I go to bed every night thrilled to be next to someone like her.
I'm not sure I believe in a soul mate. Or a soul, for that matter. But sometimes, inevitably due to the infinite diversity out there, 2 things just click together, intended or no. We do. We love it.

Be good if she posted a bit more on her socials, of course. And nobody told me a wedding meant an annual
flower arrangement ...
