Reminds me a bit of the UPS Flight 6 that crashed in 2010. Wasn't the cause of the fire, but the fire heated up the co-pilots oxygen system to the point he couldn't wear it and eventually succumbed to smoke hypoxia. Due to smoke in the cabin the pilot couldn't see his flight deck readouts or out the window and eventually crashed into the ground.

First step to mining a NEO is knowing where they are.

He's got Granny Smith in the shit category, and this just reminds me of a funny story about dogs!

We had two corgis and my wife made all their meals by hand. Part of their diet was apples, but we found one of the corgis would almost always eat around the apple (usually just a cheap red apple) pieces and leave them for the other dog. Then one time Granny Smith apples were cheaper at the grocery store so that is what we purchased and provided. He ate them up!

Turns out the dog just didn't like the sweeter apples and wanted the tart tang of a good Granny Smith.

When COVID broke out I was working with a manufacturing company, helping to fix their PMO. One of the big issues they had was that the only way to get parts through the factory was for the PMs to go down to the shop floor and constantly babysit and move them; the primary directive from management was "the PMs should not be going to the shop floor." Perfect! So COVID hits and I suggest we send the PMs home to work since they are only at their desks working on their computers and talking with customers. Corporate VP: "But if we send them home how will we know if they are working?" Me: "How do you know they are working now?" Of course the most ironic part was that VP was on the phone calling in from home because he lived in a different state that had no business operations in his area. Not surprising to me, that company has since shut down.

So two questions:

1) what other priorities?

2) has anyone that worked on teams actually used it? It has one of the worst UX's ever.
