But isn’t it only the front house workers and delivery people on this pay mechanism? Those people aren’t involved with a pickup order so you are just giving money to the very business that is already underpaying people. I presume some might split that tip amongst the servers and delivery people, but who knows? Even if so, this is really just charity on your part since those people weren’t involved with your food. I’m not going to argue with the ocean here - seems your practice is becoming quite normal, I just don’t understand it and think it sadly contributes to the underlying issue and keeps businesses more powerful and employees less.

It just sounds like a strange American tax that is paid for food. The problem of tipping is getting worse. Why pay extra for the basic level of food preparation with no additional services rendered? In what scenario would you not pay extra? Why has this become like this for food but not flowers for example?

I remain confused about what you are tipping for at all for pickup orders? I assume you are under 30? Does purchasing food just equal tip, period? Is it totally detached from a service element and just a kind of bizarre tax for young Americans?

Curious why a dollar or two? Do you just generally feel that food is underpriced? Is there a scenario where you would just pay the asked price?

The best thing about gig deliveries is dropoff service imo. I never see the driver so cash isn’t an option. Uber eats at least makes it easy to adjust tips and I often do adjust if surprisingly early or if they forget a drink.

It’s now expected that you tip even if YOU pick it up. I do not understand

Don’t leave those bottom two laying out at my house. To my spouse a knife is a knife. Pizza knife to slice bananas? Sure, why the hell not. Bread knife to cut cheddar - done. Drives a neurotic like me nuts.

I just purchased my first Lorex camera. Won’t likely have time to tinker with it for another week or so, but can let you know if it seems good. Hoping to switch to their entire local infrastructure.

Legislation is Way overdue for this nonsense. My home security cameras are all being disabled and unable to record videos as they have for years because the company (fuck you Arlo) has decided they want users to just suddenly start paying subscription fees. If we let them every company will eventually move to this model. Even staunch capitalists need to recognize that this is an issue begging for legislation. Stop this insanity.

- Comment on California just opened the floodgates for self-driving cars 1 year ago:
Public transport has been around for many decades. The US infrastructure and now lifestyle / culture is not built for it and there’s not a great reason to think it’s suddenly going to catch on. Self driving cars have real potential in the US to have an environmental impact as well save many thousands of lives each year. I wish you were more excited about this.

That retainer ring looks pretty stout. Do you somehow counter-sink that to get it flush or just let that hang out?
- Comment on I designed a printable drywall mount. 1 year ago:
I have switched to just using a ouija board and asking it where the stud is. Just as reliable but a little more fun.
- Comment on I designed a printable drywall mount. 1 year ago:
Neat, now I can yell at you when shit falls down instead of just cursing these mounts in general. I hate these things, they often don’t install well, fall apart and never hold the weight they are rated for. I’ve tried a bunch of different types and they all kinda suck. Print me a better studfinder and we can be friends.
I'll bookmark it because I'd rather print one than buy it, but just seeing these raises my BP. - Comment on heh 1 year ago:

- Comment on pugs are a cruel human creation 1 year ago:
Yep. There are strong movememts to undo what is really a very recent and very American practice of breeding in Brachycephaly. The American Kennel Club shamefully has contributed to these standards and glorified them in pure bred animals. Look at historical drawings and paintings of pugs as an excellent example. They were typically much thinner and had much longer snouts than what is idealized today. An increasing number of European breeders led quite strongly by the Germans are breeding Retro Mops or old fashioned healthier pugs. This has unfortunately not caught on in US (fuck the AKC - seriously), but retro pugs which are cross bred typically with terriers are starting to be a thing with a few select breeders. I have a retro mop. He outruns every single dog in his weight class in the dog park both in speed and endurance. He doesn’t need a harness, he has a strong neck and uses a collar. No breathing issues whatsoever. For archival purposes please check out pugdogpassion.com Therese Rodin has been a huge influence in this modern movement and I wish everyone would review her teachings or speak to her before considering purchasing a Brachycephalic dog.

Who wouldn’t want to know? They probably invite all the people that say yes to a party and serve beer and popcorn and have everyone tell their stories. That’s what I would do.
- Comment on New acoustic attack steals data from keystrokes with 95% accuracy 1 year ago:
Hard to do, but with a very standard keyboard like a Mac keyboard the resonance signatures should be slightly different based on location on the board, take into account pattern recognition, relative pause length between keystrokes, and perhaps some forced training ( ie. Get them to type know words like a name and address to feed algorithm) I think it’s potentially possible.

- Comment on Why is my Lemmy experience feeling so lame? 1 year ago:
Yeah, maybe implode isn’t the right word. Remember what happened to slashdot? Sad fizzle is more like it. Hard to kill Lemmy maybe, but I can easily see this devolving into a few grumpy communists and crappy ads for diet supplements. I sure hope not, but there’s no reason to be overly optomisitic about the tech world these days. It’s all so damn sad.
- Comment on Why is my Lemmy experience feeling so lame? 1 year ago:
This is already started. Those things started out small but succeeded because of aggressive marketing practices and huge investmentments. That could be the next phase for Lemmy. Growth can happen without but it will be slow and there is high risk of implosion during that period of slow growth.
