I haven't had time to do the work, and probably won't for a couple of years realistically, but I still have 250rlist.com to build. fb sucks for finding things. I miss forums.

@ALL250R

Jason, yup the search function sucks on FB.  Basically you’d have to be online all day everyday…..not possible for us. 

You mention 250Rlist.com. You and I have talked about it.  Care to share the intent with org?

Thanks

Sorry for slow reply.

The solution is a more organized and easy way to sell and find things for sale
Provide private messaging
List trusted vendors that people can look up
Maybe allow people to evaluate commercial vendors
No fees

When Face Book was being created, one of the original programmers said his first assignment was to make Face book addictive.  Face Book wanted to get away from the typical Forums, where things were organized and it was easy to find or post about a particular topic.  If you were reading or posting something in the morning and had to stop and go to work, you could easily continue where you left off when you got home from work.  Their solution to making Face Book addictive was to disorganize the original type forums and put all the post one after another to form a long single column of post so that you had to be online all day long to follow a thread.

By increasing user screen time, the user is exposed to more streaming adds and as user time increases Face Book collects more money from their advertisers.

The average cell phone user in the USA looks at or uses their phone over 90 times per day.

Highway fatalities due to distracted driving while using a smartphones has surpassed deaths due to alcohol and or drug impairment while driving.

American employees are stealing over 300 billion dollars each year from their employers in the form of time theft due to personal time they spent on their phones and or online activities while working.  The above number does not include the cost to employers or insurance companies for errors made due to the interruptions in concentration after looking at social media, text or personal phone calls taken while at work.

Employee phones stay in their car or in my office while they are on the clock.  This is the main reason I have not had any employees the last 3 years.  American employers could really stimulate the economy and improve the quality of their products if they would make some rules for personal use of technology while at work or just enforce the rules the company already has in place. 

America has a cell addiction!

Sorry for the rant

My cell phone is also a flip phone and seldom answer the business phone while I am out working in the shop.  My back log of work is 4 to 6 months.

FB isn't just making money on ads it shows you. It has several massive data centers around the country. FB is also an intelligence gathering company, about you personally, then aggregated by what they want to measure correlations with.

I maintain different purpose "smart" phones, but I keep them as dumb as possible, but keeping data = off, location services = off, not able to download apps. Restaurants greeters have to fumble when they want my phone number to tell us when a seat is ready, but I don't have one with me. It's both amusing and scary.

Something else... download a browser that has a plugin that allows you to see what 3rd party scripts are running in the page. Google has scripts in almost every page you visit. It's brutal when you think about how many people will never understand who they potentially shared their transaction with, like google.

If the software you're using is "free", most likely information about you is what you're paying with.

The 1988 fenders sold for $4800

nice price. I keep wondering as gas powered vehicles that we love go up in price, if their value will continue to climb as they and the fuel and parts they need get more rare.
I noticed some new NGK plugs had their new company brand "niterra" on it instead of NGK. Their new name and vision aligns with UN sustainability plans, which probably means, no more internal combustion/spark plugs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niterra#Future
