Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

Taxes on sitting products means companies rather move it quickly.

What do you mean by taxes on sitting products? I don't think that applies here in Australia.

Oh lots of fun just now "Steve from Microsoft" rang and asked to hook up to my computer...... Because it had a virus so yeah haven't had one of those in months, and it sounded like a call centre and lots of accent voices. He was indian of course. I hung up, but sometimes keep them on the line and play with them.

There is a guy on youtube that does videos just destroying these people.

There are different taxes that can be levied on products that are not moving. At least, it used to be but I've been out of retail for 7 years.

So, when a product is no longer being regularly stocked and just sits it can incur a tax.

Well hey you learn new stuff all the time.
 
usually they are resealed and put back on the shelf at the regular price. Our Targets here do that.

I was going to make a comment about Target managing to survive in Australia, when they only lasted two years here. But I looked them up, and apparently the Australian one is completely unrelated to the US one. And it looks like the US one has still never managed to expand beyond the US after their disastrous launch and subsequent failure in Canada.

Yeah same name but totally different stores
 
Without thinking about it, I accidentally took my blood pressure medicine twice this morning. Looked online for what to do and got a lot of doom and gloom, call poison control, this is what happens if your blood pressure gets too low. Then found another post where someone said nothing bad will happen if it's a one-time thing unless you're extra sensitive to the drug itself. So I took my blood pressure and it's still high! How bad is my blood pressure if twice the medication does nothing?

Depends on a number of factors, including did you eat, how it metabolizes and how long you have taken the medication.

Probably want to follow up with a medical provider.
 
Not my company. They sold it off whenever they could when i worked there.
Oops, sorry I got that backwards. Food, Drinks, medicine, ect. go in the garbage. I guess that's what I get for stopping a post halfway through and then not rereading what I wrote before when I finished it.
 
God damn , I am tired. Worked only about 4.5 hours today---not surprising, since we usually wrap up all the work on Thursdays. Hubby is also home--taking two days off to use up his vacation days before they expire. Both of us are just lazing about the house. Should be a very quiet and relaxing two days.

It happens.

Yes, food gets destroyed, even when it's expired by one day. So irritating.
 
I know a lot of people are probably celebrating the Tik Tok ban, but I feel sorry for the people who are potentially lousing out on a large chunk of their income.

I thought the ban was only for government phones? USA gonna make China angry didn't they say this was one of their red lines you can't cross?
 
Not sure, I just looked on Wikiepdia, which is not the most reliable source, and it said the billed banned "the distribution and servicing of apps designated as controlled United States foreign adversaries", and doesn't seem to specify whether it's for any specific kind of device. They did ban it on government phones back in 2022.

Well, there is no ban yet. The bill would have to pass the senate first, and last I heard, there's no specific timetable for it to come up for a vote.
