Re: [AFMUG] Dallas crane collapse
Wow, I wonder if that was because something was faulty on the crane or a really bad storm? Hopefully no one else got killed or seriously injured.

Re: [AFMUG] Where is the outrage over package delivery neutrality?!?
I loved that one.

How long till US Mail figures out it’s cheaper to sent their mail over Amazon’s transport? Sure, why not? :) Everybody wins. Outsourcing to a more cost effective provider is already a thing, in the sense that Fedex uses USPS as the last mile provider for some deliveries.

[AFMUG] OT Billions and Jupiter
Season finale of Billions was very satisfying. Next season is set up such that it could be great. Don’t forget to go look toward the Southwest right after sundown tonight. With field glasses setting on something stationary you can see the moons of Jupiter. Tiny pinpricks of light to the lower left and upper right of the main disk. I doubt you will have trouble finding it. Pretty much the brightest thing in the sky other than the Moon. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
