  • my wife and I had been married for 2 years. been together for close to 10.

    not once did we EVER say “Adirondack Chair”. Just never came up in conversation. we were broke as fuck and couldn’t afford something as superfluous as one of those.

    One day, were driving down the road home and see one on the side of he road.

    what’s that?

    looks like an Adirondack Chair

    Adirondack Chair? For free?

    yeah, it looks broken though.

    we get home go inside. I sit down to veg on my phone on the sofa. what does Amazon put in my “things you like” feed? mother fuckin Adirondack Chairs. Google news feeds? Adirondack Chairs on sale.

    My wife had YouTube videos that were reviewing Adirondack Chairs.

    this was ten years ago. Imagine what they’re doing now…



  • second this.

    also look into HR services. they handle most HR things plus many have products that do the HR stuff like time tracking, payroll, benefits, state/country compliance/regulatory requirements, etc.

    it can be costly but the cost is higher when you factor in your time away from running your business and increased legal risk from breaking employment laws.

    once you get large enough you can hire a director of HR and reduce you reliance on your vendor.
















  • I’ve been running FP4 for about 2 years now. the software bug fix cycle leaves something to be desired.

    for example, the first 16 months of my ownership had every single phone call screaming at me. I mean, the volume was loud enough it was quieter than the speaker phone.

    the did eventually fix that bug, but not two months later there’s a bug that breaks my running processes button(square at the bottom). as of right now there’s no fix other than using the OEM shitty launcher. so, 5-10 times a day I have to go to settings > apps > default apps > launcher > bliss launcher > running apps > settings > launchers > my launcher > close what I just had to use > go back to what I was just doing.

    I enjoy the phone, don’t get me wrong. I just wish they performed better software testing on their own hardware.

    I got the phone for the ethics, reparability, and privacy. I’ll never go back.
