I've seen this happen with Linkedin. They asked me to let them scan my email folder for people I may know who are on linkedin. I did and then they by default check every box to be sent an invitation, you have to go through your entire list to decide who to send invites to and who not. I did this and they still sent invites to people I did not want to invite. Then I noticed a bunch of suggestions of people who are only connected to me by certain business contacts who I did not invite, leading me to assume linkedin made that decision for me.

Is LinkedIn useful for anything?
It seems to just be another way for salesmen to pester me. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. |

If you're in an isolated industry, it can be helpful. When hunting for audio contracts in the past, I have scrolled through looking for the names of companies that old coworkers are now working for, because they are all small independent game outfits that you wouldn't necessarily know are in town except by word-of-mouth. But other than cold job-hunting leads like that, no, it does nothing.

Here's what you need to know: you can still sell that old Mac on eBay for a top price, in the "for parts or not working" category.

If it was a 2010 MacBook Pro 15, and the only thing wrong was the backlight, you just gave away about $400-$600.
It's worth a trip back there, saying you made a terrible mistake and don't want to have it recycled. But they probably won't give it back. |

On Wed (6/26) I paid for some 5 ft cedar fence pickets for @ $1.66
I took about half of the order in my pickup and trailer. On Thurs, I took the load to the coast (85 miles) and returned for the rest of the order. As I was checking out, I noticed a new sales flyer on the counter for the same pickets..."starting 6/28/13" @$1.88 Great Sale... marked UP 22 cents each ! |

you've reduced the supply and thereby increased the scarcity, thus the increase in price.
go capitalism, go free markets.

Sitting in Newark airport waiting for my second flight of the day - delayed at least 2 1/2 hours. This makes 4 out of 4 late flights on this short trip to Ottawa, lots of nail-biting and running through airports like a fool only to find out my connection's delayed 2+ hours, and no advance information or updates from the airline. United, you suck. At the very least, you owe me a free drink.

Quite literally mildly irritating me today is a splash of Worcestershire Sauce.
In my eye. Don't ask.
