Unless you were early eighties baby and introduced to BBS at a remarkably young age like me. Oregon Trail generation FTW.

Same. Could use a reread. What a great book.

"What is grief if not love perservering?’

Thank you. It’s hard, but it’s worth it.

Had to say goodbye to my cat this weekend.

The past month or so, he’d become very demanding for attention in the middle of the day, crawling all over the desk and nibbling at my hands if they were typing or using the mouse rather than loving on him.

Every day at almost the same time. And I gave him what he wanted every time.

My Monday would certainly be better if he was still doing it.

Goldeneye did allow this. Crazy. Hard to use other buttons though.

Just tried this.

So fast!

This guy’s AI! Everybody grab a pitchfork!

Omg lol

‘Query runs much quicker with 10 million fewer rows, Dave.’

Doordash charges restaurants a percentage of the gross from the sale. Rather than eat this cost, restaurants are encouraged but not forced to add a markup on the prices they give Doordash (or insert your favorite third party delivery app here). They all do it.

If you order from a store’s own website though, Doordash (I don’t know if other third parties do this) did not “find” or create the business/order… they are really only handling the delivery portion.

In this instance, they still have some fees but do not take the large percentage, as that is a finder or broker fee. They aren’t bringing the restaurant the business, it’s the other way around.

Thus, restaurants can use their normal pricing. If you can find the places near you doing this, it’s a much better deal than using Doordash normally.

True.

Also true that Biden cancelled it in his first months in office… Who knows how long it takes to get fully up to speed on everything bad we have going on?

Also Also true that it started and ran longer under a different regime.

How’s the story?

Yeah, I’m not suggesting anything different be done to mitigate, just pointing out what us stupid Americans do sometimes.

I caught it fine this time, but I’ve been confused before because I generally browse ‘All’ because of the content amount. I don’t always catch the community right away. It’s not an entirely unreasonable mistake.

Predictable comment section is predictable.

Should have created a charity to give out knee high socks or something, I guess. I dunno.

Wow.

Time flies.

Covert Chinese Cones Cause Colorado Car Crawl!

You’re not so little anymore!

I’ve been saying the same thing for a while. Same with the massive waves of ‘inflation’ and enshittification.
