RainCaster's JournalI turned in my vote today!
Voted straight Dems all throughout. In some cases, the only candidate was a repuke, and I left those blank. Same for all the local judges who proclaim themselves "non-partisan", just left those empty.
Prime Video - Dog
It's described as a comedy, but it's rather dark. Really, it's a story about two war vets that are trying to find their way in a world they don't understand any more. They take a road trip together and find??
Watch it, it's redeeming.
I love GOP pollsters
They are so stuuuupid.
Do they really think anyone could have enough brains to answer a phone, but would vote for some Wench like Tiffany Slimey? Or declare alleigence to DFT?
Few want to work for Amazon
no paywall linkLeaked documents show just how fast employees are leaving Amazon
The report, which is based off internal research papers, slide decks, and spreadsheets from Amazon, claims that workers are twice as likely to leave by choice, rather than because they were laid off or fired. It also says that the issue is widespread throughout the company, not just with warehouse workers; from entry level roles all the way up to vice presidents, the lowest attrition rate for one of the companys 10 tiers of employees was almost 70 percent, with the highest reaching a staggering 81.3 percent.
The report doesnt specify which class of employees had the highest attrition rate, but its well known that Amazons warehouses and other fulfillment facilities have more turnover than the rest of the industry. According to a report from The New York Times, around three percent of the companys hourly employees left each week, and leaked internal memos obtained by Recode show that the company is worried about literally running out of people whod be willing to work for it within the next few years (and even sooner, in some areas).
But while some Amazon warehouse workers have been making it very obvious why people dont necessarily want to stay in those roles, Engadget notes that managers are also leaving thanks to issues with development and promotions, or otherwise advancing their careers at Amazon. Some of this may come down to the training programs the company provides, which are reportedly important for moving up at Amazon, but are seemingly run in a disorganized and potentially wasteful manner, according to the documents cited by the report. Amazon didnt immediately respond to The Verges request for comment on Engadgets report.
The link to the Engadget report is included as well, and it's also no-pay-wall.
Small excerpt from the Engadget article:
Republicans in CA are running out of water

The water shortage felt to some like another kind of retaliation.
How do you not give farmers water when they feed everybody unless youre trying to put them out of business? asked Scott Netherton, owner of Coalingas lone movie theater and executive director of its chamber of commerce.
It feels like were being singled out, small towns, he said. Its like theyre trying to force them out to where youve got to move into the bigger cities.
How about those Mariners!
They beat Toronto in 2 games. Even the incompetence of ESPN could not diminish the amazing come from behind win.
Interesting article about the Nord gas pipe leaks

Could Sabotage Have Caused Nord Stream Pipeline Ruptures? And If So, How?
As David Cenciotti reported in TheAviationist.com on Tuesday, September 27, 2022: While the leaks are being investigated, the Danish Armed Forces have released a video and photographs taken by RDAF (Royal Danish Air Force) F-16s, showing disturbance in the surface of the sea: the bubbles boiling up to the surface of the sea are quite evident. According to the Danish authorities the disturbance is over 1 km in diameter.
The circumstances surrounding the Nord Stream pipeline incident invite a world of speculation, some of it pointing to wilful interdiction of pipeline operations. The reported facts can be collated to support the hypothesis of deliberate action to disrupt the pipeline. But as of this hour, there is only one problem with these hypotheses: there is no hard evidence of sabotage in the Nord Stream pipeline leak.
While no hard evidence exists at this time to support the theory of sabotage in the Nord Stream leak, the capabilities to carry out such sabotage exist in some militaries and have been employed before in similar circumstances.
Sick of those Smiley adverts
The "non-threatening housewife" look, but is really a Trump humping rabid republican who will vote to outlaw all abortions & birth control. The GOP is desperate to get rid of Patty Murray.
I knew that Faux News sucks, but Faux Sports...
is equally awful. They are butchering the Mariners game. I'm about ready to turn on the radio.
