SS Edmund Fitzgerald had a structural defect in its keel. Sailors on that ship had complained about the ship bending and flexing during storms, especially when it was overloaded, which it usually was. They had also found old keel weld breaks due to structural fatigue, which were never repaired

In the last known image of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, you can see the structural fatigue where she had started sagging in the middle. Freaky!

Flight did take off, albeit four hours late. Good luck to all those traveling to #KubeCon; may the odds (of a ground stop) be ever in your favor.

I see someone in Target management has discovered (probably at some seminar) the Ritz-Carlton 10 and 5 Rule. Every customer service training I’ve ever been to in hospitality has taught some version of this.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

It’s finally here: Election Day!
It’s 7 AM, which means polling places across the city are open until 8 PM tonight!
After 8 years of Frey’s failed leadership, today’s the day we turn the page and elect @omarfatehmn.com, @dewayneforminneapolis.com or @jazzformayor.bsky.social for mayor!

Read this. And then rank @dewayneforminneapolis.com, @omarfatehmn.com and @jazzformayor.bsky.social. That's my order; yours may be different. But Jacob Frey should not be on your list.
I’m asking everyone to vote for a new Mayor by Tuesday and rank all 3 of Omar Fateh, Dewayne Davis, and Jazz Hampton in whichever order you prefer. I’ve worked at City Hall for the last 4 years and from my personal experiences I believe the City desperately needs a new mayor.
