Probably the store manager?

Higher than that as they operate 6-8 main stores (think in the realm of a smaller Wal-Mart) and 10+ convenience stores.

Someone is not seeing what's the most popular and ordering accordingly. It seems like they're just clicking "reorder" (the last shipment) and not adjusting for what sells and what doesn't.

I spent the better half of the morning extending a XenForo add on because I didn't like how it behaved.

The easier route would've been just to rewrite 1 line of code in 1 file of the add on (or fork it rather). However, if it were ever updated and I ran an update on the add on, I would need to redo that edit, which I'd likely forget doing.

Having it as a separate add on that extends the original add on's functionality allows me to just tweak that portion of the add on and not worry too much if it breaks, as that part will likely remain the same. But, if it does change, I know exactly what to do to update my add on.

My 2nd installable XenForo add on complete. Beta testing it using the native XenForo cron job system over the next few days to see if it triggers and doesn't double post.

It's for use on another forum, but I'll tweak it a bit to automate some things around here.

Maybe expand on the code to make a joke bot. Who knows?

The store ran out of Zyn, so I had to settle for my first purchase of pouches before getting into Zyn, the VELO brand because it had more nicotine than Zyn.

I didn't like VELO because the nicotine didn't hit as hard, even though they are a milligram more of nicotine than the Zyn.

However, the clerk gave me a tip that the pouch needs a little flick to get the powder inside to break apart. I didn't know this trick, and they certainly do pack a punch over Zyn with that extra milligram. However, one thing I don't like about them is their smell. Unlike Zyn, VELO smells kind of "rotten" over Zyn which probably has an artificial smell added to make them smell like a candy counterpart; however, this might not be the case for everyone as my smell senses are off—I can smell certain things, some things I can't smell at all, and some things smell different to me than others, which was pre-C19, so it wasn't that which made me lose my sense of smell. The flavor of VELO isn't that good either, as Zyn will make my mouth water while VELO doesn't do the same.

Taking the afternoon off to go watch Captain America in IMAX.

I haven't seen a movie during the afternoon, so this is kind of a first.

Hope it doesn't disappoint!

Gotta put in the hours to grind later tonight as I'm cooking up something special.

Just got done with like a 10 hour shift. No music. No movies. Only a snack break and bathroom breaks. I'm starving!

It sure is quiet in the community chat...

Hey everyone! How are we all?

Hey everyone! How are we all?

Doing just fine.

Had an uneventful Saturday still learning how to code. Spent the better half of 2 days trying to access what I wrote visually, and then another 8 hours today figuring out where the pieces go. I completed it, but it still needs some final touches to make it "perfect", even though no one will use it but me. I just want to not get into the habit of writing sloppy code.

I told someone I was headed to bed at 0130, and then I told some people I was headed to bed at 0230 as I got caught up in something. Now it's 0330, and I'm officially going to bed, for real this time.

 

[Harsh World]

It's 0130 in the morning and I've finished all I need to do for the day.

Knock out one or two light tasks scheduled for tomorrow so I can watch a movie or catch up on sleep?

Decisions, Decisions.

Hey everyone! How are we all?

I’m doing great. How are you?

 

[Cpvr]

Howdy everyone, what’s new?

Howdy everyone, what’s new?

Just woke up and getting to it.

Had to stay up about an hour later to get something done.
