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

Well, presumably more than a few dozen light years away. A few dozen lightyears is nothing on a cosmic scale.

Great times!

Introducing my daughter to Trek this year, just wrapped up S4 of DS9 a few weeks ago and S3 of Voyager the week after.

We have a few more months of golden age Trek… soaking it in.

Nah, that’s more related to the episode named ‘Lower Decks’ I think.

Dunno. I was going off common wisdom I’d heard over the years about people over salting their food as they get older.

Mayo clinic says yes though.

People also tend to add more seasoning (particularly salt) as they get older and their senses dull.

Ah, I could see that. It can be read either way, but I think the author intended it to be read this way. ‘Wow!’ As the reaction to the father’s statement that he won’t have to work if he does something he loves.

Yes how is the text supposed to for?

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

Red rocket, standing by.

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

We had a Garden Spider for one summer on the corner of our porch.

She was so chill and we loved having her around. They often rebuild that beautiful web every night.

She laid a few sacs, but none of her children stuck in our yard, sadly.

Is it your comic? If so, good job.

I consider myself to have a decent vocabulary, but I would not have gotten sinuous’ definition correct.

Harbinger I knew, but it’s nice to see In a positive example.

The other two were new to me.

Hey guys! I think I found Jaime Pressly’s account!

Just tried this.

So fast!

This guy’s AI! Everybody grab a pitchfork!

‘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.
