I wonder what the psychology of posting about being downvoted is. I’m a pretty opinionated dude and get downvoted from time to time, but I just move on with my life instead of turning it into a big production or even acknowledging it, really. Not everyone’s gonna like everything you write, and it’s not like you’re going for some high score to get into social media paradise or something. Think about where you’re spending your energy man. This ain’t a good use of anyone’s time.
Dump a bowl of Lucky Charms marshmallows in there and baby, you got a stew going!
I spent a lot of time in the car crossing the U.S. in the 80’s and 90’s so I saw a LOT of McDonalds. Most of them are bog standard but once in a while you come across one like this where they spiced it up. I’ve seen one with a train engine out front, one with a parked airplane, etc. There’s one in Tucson with a giant T-Rex statue in front of it. I’ve also seen some crazy play places with slides going out of the building and back inside. Would’ve loved that when I was a kid.
Jewish is an ethnicity. There are plenty of Jewish people in the world that don’t practice religion and are therefore not in a “Cult”.
Every American Jew I’ve known personally in my life has been a pretty chill person.
A lot more. Buckle up.
Acting on your principles isn’t always easy.
This is the way.
Something that actually makes a difference.
This is how they are resisting? We are so fucked.
That’s the one! I’m really rooting for them.
That’s a great tip for finding new restaurants! I get to waste the middleman’s resources, too! Win win.
Driverless cars will eliminate Grubhub, DoorDash, etc, because it will be cheaper for most restaurants to have their own delivery vehicles again, and you’ll probably see co-op services for smaller places.
Restaurants delivering their own food is not a foreign concept - it’s how all food delivery was done in the ‘old days’. They will jump on the chance to eliminate these gig commissions.
The jobs won’t disappear. They’ll just change. The need is obviously there.
Here in Colorado a bunch of drivers just formed a employee owned co-op, both to give the middle finger to Uber and Lyft, and so the drivers can actually earn a living. We need more of that.
Stop using it. It’s that simple.
Gig economy work is horrible for the workers, and incredibly exploitative. The workers frequently make less than minimum wage.
I refuse to order from any restaurant that doesn’t do their own delivery. If enough other people do the same, these places will curl up and die very quickly.
FINE. I’ll do it. Sigh.
Gotta disagree, for home use at least. I have found it to be the opposite of a nightmare.
Moving my home routing and firewall to a VM saved me hours, and hours, and hours of time in the long run. I have a pretty complex home network and firewall setup with multiple public IPs, multiple outbound gateways, and multiple inbound and outbound VPN setups for various purposes. I’m also one of those loons that does outbound firewall with deny by default on my network, except the isolated guest VLAN. With a complex setup like that, being in a VM means it’s so easy to tweak stuff safely and roll back if you mess something up or it just doesn’t work the way you expected. Turns what would be a long outage rebuilding from scratch into a 30 second outage while you roll back the VM. And being able to snapshot your setup for backup is incredibly useful when your software doesn’t behave properly (looking at you, PFsense).
All that said, I run redundant, synced hypervisors which takes care of a lot of the risk. A person who is not well versed in hypervisor management might not be a good fit for this setup, but if you have any kind of experience with VM management (or want to), I think it’s the way to go.
I’ve been doing it for probably 8 years now without any major issues related to being a VM. In fact, that made recovery extremely easy the two times my PFsense VM shot itself in the head. Just load the backup of the VM taken the day before and off to the races. After switching to OPNsense a couple years ago I haven’t had a single issue.
These days I run two identically spec’d hypervisors that constantly sync all my VMs to each other over 10GB NICs, so even a hardware failure won’t take out my routing. That is something to consider if you don’t have redundant hypervisors. Not really any different than if your physical router died, just something to plan for.
My understanding is there’s a licensing fee for another company to say they have an ‘android’ phone.
That part doesn’t matter to me. I ran de-Googled custom ROMs on my phones for many years, including cyanogenmod and later Lineage, only to find out they were tracking all of us against our will (and device settings) all along. That was the last straw for me.
Don’t worry, they’ll still give you bread and water in the lithium mines. Probably.
I’ve always heard they are one of the worst of the big name insurance companies. Not that any of them are good.
