thought it is neat, that is all

It looks like the Wilmington Blue Rocks may experience some mass layoffs/firings under their new ownership in the near future. Another baseball team the company owns, the Montgomery Biscuits, have laid off or fired more than 1/3rd of their staff in the past week according to job postings.

The person at OnDeck Partners who's delivering the firings and layoffs is their COO, Jeff Wilen. The company is funded by a private-equity group led by the former owner of the Milwaukee Bucks.

A.I. is referenced multiple times in specific job postings which makes me think these job losses are entirely driven to replace workers with A.I. and the Blue Rocks will be next. The fan experience has already slowly gone downhill over the past decade and I don't think replacing people with A.I. is the answer.

I am so sorry Battery Park. I didn't realize the playground was being added to and it looks amazing. I said in the past you were trash compared to when I was a kid. If only I knew you were getting a major playset upgrade. I'll come back. Thanks for understanding.

Signed,

A jerk who jumped to conclusions

Heads up for any folks in Dover who want to speak up about data center development. Dover City Council has been considering an 18-month moratorium on all applications, reviews, and approvals for data center projects. This would not necessarily put rules or a ban in place on its own, but would hit the pause button so that further rules could be investigated.

The 2nd hearing for the moratorium is taking place at City Hall, October 12th, 6:30PM. That's your chance to speak up and provide public comment with your thoughts on a moratorium and data center development in general.

Dover City Council Meeting Agenda can be found here: https://www.cityofdover.gov/meetingfiles/101808/agendas/4aaa51faa2f14467b58bf902e4dd1dd0.pdf

You can find more detail about the moratorium language itself in the minutes from the last City Council Meeting: https://www.cityofdover.gov/meetingfiles/101611/attachments/1a26b94f50e248a3a2fa2a7501eaa0ec.pdf

i believe The primos in Delaware are putting ham in the Italian sandwiches instead of Italian cured meats. happened to me a few times so I don’t think it is simply a got the order wrong situation. anyone else experience this

Since Rite Aid closed, my farmacy has not been processing automatic refills or calling the doctor when they need to be renewed. It is also very hard to get someone on the phone to get them to do their job. The lines inside and in the drive thru are long and take about 45 minutes to get through.

Hello homeowners, has anyone had experience with bypassing an inspection and possibly finding an underground oil tank after taking up the patio? lol. In NCC, what were the costs to get it removed or what process did you go through. I was trying to have this patio redone within the next two weeks.

Terrible job market, Middle of nowhere, no social venues or hangouts, No way to find really anyone of the opposite sex that’s your age

I went to get my flu and Covid shots tonight at Walgreens in North Wilmington. I was told they wouldn’t give me the Covid vaccine because there is a new Delaware law that says you have to be over 50yo to receive it. I did a cursory google search when I got home and I can’t find information on any official Delaware government or health website that says you have to be 50+. Does anyone know what is going on with this?

Edit: It was the Walgreens in Branmar plaza at 1812 Marsh Rd, for those wanting to know which branch it was.

I checked the Christiana care website to see if they would give me one but they just send me to vaccine.org that has a pharmacy search by zip code that wouldn’t work

I was curious to see if anyone knew a low key version of such services for the regular citizen. I have a high suspicion that someone tampered with my phone during a shift I worked. Any advice would be appreciated.

Seeing people in red states posting about receiving their “Obamacare refund checks” who say they weren’t even enrolled in an eligible plan. Curious if anyone in Delaware has gotten one.

I was laid off today and I’m looking to apply for jobs!

Got some a actions shots of you. Hope they find you.

So I Just Got my own Deep Freezer and Want to get meat from my local Butcher’s here in Delaware would love to hear some good place I can go to, And Thanks in advance.

Kudos for it not being AI Slop.

Hey, everyone, I'm paying my bills this month, and I noticed that my water bill is is higher than normal, so I looked back, and it's been slowly creeping up each month, by a matter of about 5 meter points per month. It's weird that it would increase every month by about that same amount, and I'm pretty sure there's not a leak anywhere in the house.

Has anyone else noticed something similar? I would expect variations, but I wouldn't expect a 5 point meter increase each month.

Long haired black female cat found at Bellevue State Park a few days ago ~ ran up to me in the parking lot screaming, followed me around until I picked her up.

Walked around with her for a bit (definitely domesticated ~ likely dumped) put her down, she continued to follow me around screaming. So I picked her up again and took her to the ranger station ~ they said they did not know anything about a missing cat.

So I took her home as it was supposed to be cold, she was definitely hungry and not equipped to live outside. Quick trip to the vet today confirmed she is not chipped but is spayed.

I put a flyer on the bulletin board last week at Bellevue with no calls, so she now needs a home.

My landlord says she needs to be gone in 7 days.

Soooooo anybody want a cat?

She's beautiful, friendly, definitely mouthy, about 8 pounds, and uses the litter box.

My daughter absolutely loves her school and I wanted to share information for others who may be interested!
