Why does Insite always seem to be down lately?

Particularly the my schedule part.
Before it was down like only once a week for routine maintenance and they would let you know ahead of time. Now it seems like every other day it’s down for maintenance.

What's going on with Fulfillment scheduling?

The auto generated schedules have come out and the two weeks following next week they have people scheduled to 9:00 a couple nights a week. I'm not worried because I know these auto generated schedules never make sense in the first place and our OOM always edits the schedules to sometime more reasonable but why 9:00 in the first place. I can understand scheduling selling colleagues to that time for coverage at closing but not for fulfillment. There isn't enough volume during August to justify that schedule. Heck even during the busy holiday season no one really stays that late.
So, I have to ask, if anyone here works in or is familiar with staffing and scheduling, is there an actual person making these schedules or are they AI generated?

How did Sockeye Salmon get to be so expensive?

First, let me start off by saying that in no way do I blame this on Market Basket. I understand that there are external economic factors at play here. If I remember correctly, sockeye salmon was around $14.99 a pound at MB. However, the last few weeks it’s jumped to over $20 a pound. So could someone who is familiar with the economic factors of it give me the ELI5 version of what’s happening.

Change delivery date for upcoming delivery but not sure if it went through

Late last week, I received a notification from Fedex indicating I had a package scheduled to be delivery Wed. 7/29. A signature is required but no one will be at my house that day to sign for it. I went on to the Fedex website to change the delivery date to Sat 8/1. Right after I hit the submit button I received an error message stating something to the effect, "an error has occured, we are unable to process your request." However, I did receive an email confirmation stating the delivery date was successfully updated. Also, on my credit card, it is showing that I was charged the fee for the delivery change.

However, what is worrying me is that on both the Fedex site and the app it is still showing the original delivery date of 7/29.

Does unsalted butter that is just made purely from cream with other additives exist?

Particularly grass fed. I have been using KerriGold, unsalted butter for quite some time. I had never bothered reading the ingredients because I’ve never thought anything of it. However, I was recently watching a YouTube video where the person pointed out that there are other things added to the unsalted butter besides cream. Supposedly when you remove the salt, they feel that they have to add other stuff to make up for the loss of flavor.
I’ve noticed read the ingredients on other brands of unsalted butter, they usually always have something added such as cultures or lactic acid.
So as stated in the title, does unsalted butter that’s just made from pure cream exist? Preferably something that can be found in your typical supermarket.
Thanks

question about a scheduled pick up

I scheduled a pick up of a package at my house for today. probably a stupid question, but will the driver ring the doorbell or am I expected to leave the package outside my door? I ask because the estimated pick up timeframe is between 9 AM and 8 PM
And I don’t wanna just leave the package outside all that time where just anyone can walk away with it

TIA

Has anyone tried this brand?

Thought I’d take advantage of the ice cream sale at WF and decided to give this a try. Never heard of it before

Panel protect function keeps repeating on MSI OLED monitor

I’ve had the MSI MAG 272QP OLED monitor for a couple months now. For most of the time it had been working fine.
However, a few nights ago, I got a pop-up message saying that I was going to perform the panel protect function. The problem is that the process keeps looping. Right after the process is done and I turned my monitor back on. I’ll get the same pop-up message in the process. Will repeat again. This happens over and over and over again. The following and solutions were suggested online, but they haven’t solve the issue. Leaving the power cord unplugged for up to 30 minutes to do a hard reset.
Let the process run with the input cable detached. Going into the OSD to do a factory reset.
Anyone else having the same issue and any other suggestions?
TIA
Apologies for any spelling or grammatical errors since I’m posting from my phone because obviously I can’t use my PC because I have a useless monitor

Would have it been feasible to create a central rail hub during the Big Dig?

With all the recent discussion surrounding the North South Rail Link and the costs associated with it, I've been wondering if it would have been feasible to, as stated in my title, create a central rail hub that would have combined the routes served by both North and South Stations, including Commuter rails and Amtrak?
I think the ideal location would be where the current South Station is. There would have been plenty of space for expansion. Look at how much space there is with Dewey Square Plaza and the space in front of Tatte. Add to that it's close to all four rapid transit lines.
Now, this would involve rerouting all the Commuter Lines and the Amtrak Downeaster line service by North Station into the new hub at South Station. Obviously, this would have been a massive and costly undertaking. However, I mentioned the Big Dig because at that time everything was being dug up and then would have been the ideal time to do it.

On the websites of many venues and attractions under the policies, many times it states "use of professional photographic equipment prohibited." I can understand restricting tripods and lighting equipment as those may pose tripping hazards. However, what about the cameras themselves? What exactly constitutes a professional camera? Sure, there are top of the line models from Nikon and Canon that are used by professionals, but many amateurs also use them.
So for example, even though I'm an amateur, can my Pentax 67 be considered professional?
Is it for the most part up to the discretion of the individual venues?
