        @YMO they actually have some Skyline restaurants in Florida for some random reason (it's a Cincinnati thing).

      Does anyone use Pirate Ship? I'm sure I'm late to the party, but I've been seeing it everywhere lately for discounts on shipping.

        You can add insurance with pirate ship. It’s part of the details you can enter when creating a shipment.

        Pirate Ship is fantastic, especially since UPS was recently added. And their insurance is terrific! I've filed two claims now directly with Pirate Ship for UPS shipments and both were painless and I received claim reimbursements within a week or two of filing the claim.

      When something doesn't sell on SBAF, is HF your next step? I haven't sold in ages, but HF feels riskier than it used to.

        @penguins That's why I specified a bank check (the check is coming from the bank instead of the person), so it can't bounce. It's a physical check. But you might well be right that HF won't like it because what it considers "unprotected payment methods" is... somewhat odd.

        @Thad E Ginathom, my audiologist said that they take custom impressions for earplugs that come with removable filters with different dB reduction amounts (ranging from 5 or 10 (I forget which) up to around 30 or so). May be worth looking into. I don't remember the company name unfortunately, but had "sonics" in it...

        Same thing in TN in terms of fighting with the governor. Several districts around us have had to shut down but are not allowed to teach virtually since he has banned it. So, they're just burning their inclement weather days while they're out.

        Our district has defied him on masks, and our compliance is good, so at least we have that going for us.

        Same in Texas. So many kids getting sick. The largest school district in this area said they’re mandating masks after so many kids were getting sick. The governor and AG admitted to the court today that they don’t really have the power to enforce gov’s “No mask mandates” directive.

        Yeah @penguins , that's pretty close, but not 8-8, haha. That's extreme. They turn you into grading machines, but it's not as bad as it sounds, though.

        Calculus has been in Kansas City for a long while now and it's a cool place to visit.

        The past 2 years have been remote, which is far more miserable.

        In all seriousness we have also had our first fully COVID-managed events here on a trial basis. No super spreaders yet, but very conservative approach. IMO you need to ban alcohol, drunk people are even more f'ing stupid. Breathalyze at the door.
