I'm sorry; our house is on natural gas, but we sell bottles of propane @ work. It's hard to get them right now; companies have been holding back shipments because we're in a red zone. (If memory serves.) We did get some in before Xmas.

Wait, is this you?

  No; we sell hardware. Propane bottles are a relatively recent addition.

I read about Facebook algorithm and I still don't know what it means. There's mention of "organic reach" and I'm like, ok.

Algorithm without Facebook seems complicated enough. We didn't learn about that in school.

There isn't a single "Facebook algorithm." There's one algorithm for determining which friends to suggest, one for which ads to display, etc. The algorithms themselves are too complicated for lay people to understand, all you need to know is that a computer program makes decisions about what to display to you based on its analysis of what you click on.

I'd figured as much. Either way, the "Facebook Algorithm" got it mostly wrong with the stuff they are recommending and showing me on Facebook. For some reason they think I'm a gamer who likes east european women and enjoy streaming. I don't do any of that and I have never clicked on such things.

I'm getting Adolf Hitler book recommendations in ads here. RC needs to tone down his Hitler admiration

Usually ads are based on your browsing history. What other sites do you go to?

Lots, but this is the only forum I visit that is full of Hitler gifs and whatnot

Still no propane.  A friend loaned us a couple of electric heaters, but damn, I'm cold.
