I really like them almost entirely brown, mashed up with butter and mixed with some flour, sugar, an egg or two and a hint of vanilla extract, all baked in the oven for like an hour.

Yeah, I see what you’re saying as well. I’m coming from the perspective of having worked at a chain pizza place for 6 years in the past and seeing drivers double check orders before leaving and sometimes having to drive back to deliver something they missed. I feel like that should be a reasonable expectation for Doordash drivers, but then the bag is sealed, presumably to keep the driver from messing with/eating the food, which also seems like a negative to me. If they can’t be trusted not to eat my food, how can I trust them to deliver it?

The driver could check that all of the stuff is there before bringing it to you. At the end of the day why should I care more about how the mistake happens than that it happens?

If I used a service that messed up my orders frequently enough to make such a statistic, I’d stop using that service.

Spending extra money for generally worse service to save a couple minutes of typing is actually the epitome of laziness.

I get rather annoyed when someone says “I have a problem” without any further thought shown toward it.

Sure, you don’t need to always have the solution, but if you have something worth complaining about then it’s something worth putting at least a little time and effort into thinking about solving before complaining. That reflection will often come through in how the problem gets put forward such that it’s easier for everyone to help find a solution.

I am really glad I went to college far enough away from home my folks wouldn’t visit on a whim, but close enough to drive back for holidays easily. And after I moved back home I have had a much greater appreciation for everyone and everything I had been away from.

It feels a little generic, but video games. I’ve been playing them since my dad got a Gamecube around launch, and I’ve been reading about them since ~2011 when I discovered Steam and graphics cards. I learned within a year of watching the store that sales on Steam generally update Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I’ve checked what goes on sale for at least 90% of the Tuesdays and Thursdays since then.

I used to read a lot of IGN, then Kotaku, then r/games to keep up on everything. Now I mostly listen to a couple gaming podcasts (Minnmaxx and Triple Click) and that covers enough big and small games for me.

I like to say that I have a near encyclopedic knowledge of gaming from about 2007 onward, meaning for a given game I can give you a general idea of the genre, reception, notable influence on or from the industry, and I can usually recall at least 5 seconds of gameplay. The most exciting thing for me in conversation is when someone brings up a game I haven’t heard of or know nothing about.

This might be a stretch but my mind dredged up memories of the first two American Tail movies recently. Are/were you a fan? It sounds up your alley based on your comment here.

Chidi is a main character from the show The Good Place. If you have any interest in ethical philosophy, it’s a great and accessible show. And if you’re not interested in ethical philosophy, it’s still a great show!

Not specific enough, what if the next $500 million dollar equivalent payout is in another country and you miss it? Maybe specify the next US Powerball over $500 million?

Why not “what specifically should scientists focus on to develop functional near or faster than light space travel?” Then people can just go check where the aliens are or are not!

why or why not do all non-trivial roots of the Riemann zeta function have the form 0.5+xi?

Does this mean Jared Kushner is going to get offed so Trump can marry off Ivanka to Netanyahu?

Yeah, I think they’re mostly on christiansmingle.com, not Hinge.

Presumably because they aren’t “one of the best ways to get rid of a rodent invasion.”

Maybe I spoiled it for myself by playing as many city builders as I have, but I didn’t feel it was too hard the one time I played it, just really slow to get things rolling.

This is a messy but interesting question to sort my thoughts on. First, I did date a non-binary person for a couple years and ended things on good terms. I’m AMAB, they’re AFAB on testosterone. I’ll admit I felt a little weird as their transition took effect over time with thicker leg hair and a peach fuzz mustache.

Second, I’ve considered myself a sex-positive asexual person since I learned the term, so I’m not certain I should be answering this. I’ve always been confused when someone is called hot, but I like the mental/emotional intimacy and physical touch of sex. I’ve come to realize recently that I’d probably be okay being intimate with a woman or feminine partner with a dick, but since I would like to have kids some day it wouldn’t really work for a romantic relationship.

Third, that partner has half-jokingly said that you have to be a little gay to date them, so I don’t know that any person that would date a non-binary person can call themself 100% straight, which means technically nobody should be answering this question at all :P

I’m a big fan of Smooth Video Project (SVP) for video interpolation: https://www.svp-team.com/

Say what you will about high frame rate video/animation, I paid like $10 for it in 2014 and it’s still getting updates!

That also sucks. I hope you find some work to do.
