The Internet of Things is real. It isn’t people processing all of this info it’s this network of devices, machines and servers designed to harvest, analyse and act on the data we often unwittingly provide.
A lot of the time this can be great for everyone, including the consumer. An issue for me though, is when it is used to identify users who are vulnerable and exploit that. For example, it is now possible to identify users suffering from depression, who are therefore more vulnerable to certain behaviours (excessive consumption, reckless economic decisions, indulgung unhealthy habits), and then target marketing at those people. It posts some boss level ethical questions.

You're not out of the woods, yet. Black Friday is still a day away.

Just noticed this hole in the sleeve of my Patagonia down jacket this morning. I haven’t even owned it for a year [emoji3525] Luckily, they have an ironclad guarantee and will repair it for free. Takes 1 month though

If you don't mind the DIY look, Patagonia also sells Tenacious Tape patch kits, and that stuff works really well. Doesn't take a month, either.

I looked at the tape and I’d rather have them repair it. If they didn’t offer repairs then I’d do the tape

Everything I get in terms of outdoor gear immediately gets cut. Tent floors, sleeping pads, etc. So damn frustrating.

Man there is some dumb jawns lore out there. Just soak em and wear em and wash em, it's not rocket science.

I will gleefully throttle the next person who says skosh instead of a little.

What’s this now? Juvenile vernacular? Rare Michigan dialect? English teachers need to know…

Setting up multiple sales thread in Iron Heart Forum »The Marketplace »Buying and Selling
Wouldn't it be simpler to list a single sales thread, clearly naming all the items you have for sale, so that your potential buyers can easy identify your items within one thread
