Things That Are Bothering You, Got You All Hibbeldy-Jibbeldy, or just downright pissed, RIGHT NOW!

As for the app: That's the Census "OnTheMap" web app that uses data from the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics Origin-Destination Employment Statistics program. They use data from local employers to and match that up with the location of work and location of home so you can see destination, distance, and direction; inflow/outflow patterns; local employment by industry; employment by some key demographic indicators; Job-to-Job transitions; etc. There is a big lag in the data (and some states aren't currently participating) but it's still really powerful data and a lot of it is available through the FTP down to the Census block level which is really nice, especially if you have access to your own GIS software.

The data and web app are free to anybody.

That's an interesting tool I hadn't seen before--I'm gonna use it for some client work right now.

Used this shiz today to directly answer a client question. Your finders fee is in the mail.

I seriously don't know how I didn't know it existed before you mentioned it...especially since the frigging microdata is available. Which is honestly astounding...census bureau usually barely gives you anything at the CB level besides pop (since ACS data wants CBG or Tract at minimum) and here's data on crossed workplace/residence with some rough industry and income info.

Just completed my vendor contract renegotiations for 2025. Why are these interactions almost exactly like buying a used car?

Only the biggest sports scandal since the "Black Sox".

All I see is a bunch of sëx jargon.

Tiny holes in expensive slacks. They are to the layer underneath the fabric, not all the way through, so they look like small, dark stains from a distance. I don't know if they are due to insects or general wear and tear. I fear the former. If insects are the cause, what is the best way to keep them at bay?

DDT shower and change your bed clothing more often

I still remember Taco Bell's 59 cent, 79 cent, and 99 cent menu. $4 would get you a bunch of random **** from Taco Bell.

I have these all over all my closets. Open them slightly on top until you could smell them, but not much. They don't last long, and disintegrate rapidly if you really peel the plastic due to more air exposure.

I can actually remember when hard shell tacos were 39¢ and soft shell tacos were 49¢. I don't think we ever tried Taco Bell before they sort of revamped things and started really pushing those cheap tacos (maybe the mid or late '80s?). My dad didn't often go in to his factory on Saturdays and when he did it was always just for a few hours and he'd be home in time for lunch and he would almost always stop along the way home and buy a big bag of White Castle burgers for a trashy lunch but then one day Taco Bell started pushing those cheap taco prices so he decided to try the Taco Bell next to the White Castle and brought home a box of tacos.

When I was in high school a few years later it was still really cheap. My buddies and I would go there for lunch every once in a while because none of us had any real menu but we could always eat pretty "good" there for the few dollars in our pocket.

On a slightly related note... I grew up on a farm in the rural fringes of the Detroit area. A friend down the road lived in an 1880s farmhouse just like ours (and a million others in the Midwest). His dad was an architect or designer and made a bunch of money in the '80s and '90s coming up with new designs for fast food chains, including Taco Bells of the time. They owned a few hundred acres and ended up building a weird combo modern/shed style architecture house in the middle of one of their cornfields. It was so out of place out there and we always called it the "Taco Bell Temple" and similar things. We were always amazed that 39¢ tacos could help you build such a big house!

From Google Streetview:

I've driven past that house probably thousands of times over the years so it doesn't look so strange to me now but it's still jarring to see out there, still surrounded by 125+ year old farm houses.

I remember when I was in high school completing my amazing football career of 1 sack, 1 FF, 1 TFL, and 1 solo tackle, McDonalds had a 29 cent hamburger and 39 cent cheeseburger.
