It's just a post form so if there's an automation facility on android it should be easy to replicate. look at their api page. I use it to generate in bbcode the summary and thumbnail of a news article (as you get when posting a tweet of it or embedding in discord/slack)

Canadian specific, but Loblaws aka Superstore used to make really good in-house sour cream glaze and chocolate glaze doughnuts, sold in plastic containers (as opposed to their other ones, which are not as good and in cardboard boxes). They stopped selling them last year and replaced them with some shittier versions by a brand called “Donut Time”. It sucks and I emailed them to complain but they would not accept it because I didn’t have an item number for the doughnuts they stopped selling.

Speaking as a doughnut maker doughnuts are are one of those things that just have to be made fresh on site, you can't just stick them in boxes and ship them overnight it's a travesty they will all be stale and flavorless by the time they arrive, I would measure the optimal time till consumption in minuets not hours. One of the lovely things one of our mega grocery stores in Aus did after they killed off most of the local bakeries was to import partly baked bread from overseas put it in the oven to brown the crusts and then market it as fresh baked in store, they got caught out but only got a limp dicked slap on the wrist for it of course. https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/coles-to-pay-25m-for-misleading-baked-today-and-freshly-baked-in-store-bread-promotion

Bake-off is fine for supermarkets or small shops in small towns with no market for a proper baker, but hell no don't try sell it as "fresh baked", because it sure ain't.

Or have people been manually uploading pics to wherever and copying the url? this high friction has spared the forums from a lot of terrible posts in the past few months, and i need to change that

I can barely get my 2-weeks out if a pair when they used to go a month if I was careful. Just shredding around the edges, little chunks floating in my eye. Fuckin bullshit. They're in a class action lawsuit for price fixing over a few year period right now, I wonder if they're losing big money for Bausch and Lomb. teen witch posted:I don’t think I ever had a pair of monthlies work for the entire month, three weeks in and they feel like cornflakes. euphronius posted:Yes holefoods posted:I was never able to get more than like 2 weeks out of those. Maybe I just have sensitive eyes or something. Flowers for QAnon posted:I’m with you, but also we might just be getting older I have an update on this gripe. I went to a new eye doctor after a lovely experience at my old one trying to solve this issue. The new eye doctor said "No, I haven't heard those complaints, but I'm going to put you in Biofinity lenses." So far, I've gotten 3 weeks out of my second pair with no issues. They're a little spongier/more rubbery, maybe a little thicker around the rim. But very comfortable, easy to put in and take out, and they don't fold up into lovely little tacos when I pull them out at night and put them in the case.

not really thread relevant but I am very jealous of those of you that can use contacts at all. my reflexive aversion to eye touching ended in it taking 20 minutes for the eye doctor lady to put in my one and only attempt at them. 45 minutes of burning eyes at home trying to put them on the next day I ended up ripping one of them, never to try again.

I posted a job on LinkedIn and I regretted it almost immediately. Constant emails like the service has emotional and co-dependency issues, from multiple lists I was opted-in to by default, and the UI to unsubscribe had little rhetorical tricks that still technically kept you subscribed to the messages. No one applied, so rather than deal with their garbage I just blocked them forever and let my job ads expire.

Violet_Sky posted:Lol LinkedIn loving blows now. Half the job offers are crypto/other scams.  I get daily messages from randos saying "i am very impressed with your job history, would you be interested in franchise opportunities?" What the gently caress does one have to do with the other, and why in the everloving gently caress would I be looking for franchise opportunities from LinkedIn. Also I'd say that around 90% of the job opportunities on LinkedIn are bullshit. I've spoken with three different internal recruiters/hiring managers for companies about senior pre-sales positions, only to have them bait and switch to a tech position doing installation for 75% of the listed pay. Ofc they're still going to expect you to work with customers and support sales people, they're just desperately trying to overtalent positions because of  the market

Recruiters and HR departments are the laziest fuckers in the market. Why read job applications when you can have a linkedin analysis bolt on screen them for you and narrow down further with a ctrl F for keywords. In this scenario you don't actually know what your company does but you're fairly sure it involves spreadsheets of some kind.

EBay making their Global Shipping Program nearly required blows. A seller broke down for me what it looks like from his end and I told him what I would have to pay and it’s ridiculous. I really appreciate the sellers (always from the UK?) who offer $3 CAD shipping.

Serious_Cyclone posted:The service as a subscription model is killing everything, this happened with a company we were buying from for more environmentally friendly washing machine and dishwasher detergents. Why do I need to subscribe to your detergents, why?? Just sell me the detergent when I need more detergent goddamn Perfect way to make money as a time traveler though, start subscription services. There was absolutely enough technology in the 1890's to start a subscription service for men's shirts, it's just no one was lovely enough to come up with the idea.

Yahoo News seems really clickbaity these days. Also, it feels like that and some of the non-Yahoo recommended article things are repeating several of the same articles with different titles at the same time or repeating them several times over months and even years. But, hey, it's probably driing engagement and making them some sort of money.
