When the main pain point is money, counter offers can be great. When the problem is the job itself or the environment, accepting counter is probably a bad play (except maybe a lateral move in the org, if large enough.) That's my experi

The basic Ivory is essentially only soap. The sunlight bar soap is sold for laundry but it's basically a pure soap made from vegetable fat (that was the big innovation, it wasn't made with tallow rather palm oil.)

A lot of pitons, especially softer ones, will remain in place. Sometimes on purpose, sometimes because they couldn't be pulled out. But pitons are not really used much anymore. Very, very niche. Bolts (expansion or glue-ins) are heavil

At some point, these superhosts provide hotel services in a distributed, piecemeal way. There's going to be a watershed moment where a "host" offering 10-20+ properties is going to get the hammer of the law on them for runnin

That's cool but that's a fixed 10 cents, so basically Discover is forwarding to you some of the money they receive for handling the debit in the first place. I have yet to see a debit card do a 1% cash back, which is really common

Which came first? This TV show format or the Listicle? Either of which is beyond annoying. Once in a while, I'll seek out a few Listicles with ad blocking off to see just what the state of the art of agressively deceptive advertisement
