You need to watch more Frasier

Oh wow, that’s pretty decent pay in Knoxville! Tough to add 90 minutes of round trip travel on top of that, though. I wish you the best in that, and hope you’re able to find some steadier work as well. I kind of enjoyed it but being away from my wife and kid in the evening weighed on me after a while.

I did that a time or two when I hadn’t Dashed in a while. It worked as a way to my numbers up. I also got around $15/hour. That wasn’t great to me because at that time I was typically getting at least $20/hour and trying for more than $25. But it was harder to get those good orders when I hadn’t done it in a few months. It’s been about a year since I’ve Dashed; have they made it worse for drivers in that time?

I wasted enough time at Taco Bell I started turning down those orders unless the tip was really good

I understand it’s not just impacting US developers, as the price of these development kits is also going up across Europe and elsewhere. That’s likely because those “macroeconomic” conditions extend beyond just US tariffs, with currency fluctuations, production costs, and other elements impacting pricing.

I’m thinking they don’t sell that many dev kits so maybe the price is going up for Europe also simply because all of the kits ship from China to Redmond and get distributed to the rest of the world from there. Like, I kind of doubt they even build and sell enough in a year to fill a single shipping container.

Today I’m learning this and now I learn GNU is supposed to be pronounced “guh-NEW”

It’s why the fancy hotels had phones next to the toilet

My experience was only playing at friends’ houses who had Play Stations, but I never felt like one was better than the other. I appreciated the mechanic of upgrading items helped to give a different element to the game instead of it being the same thing Nintendo was doing but with different characters. What we really played a lot with friends, though, was Battle Mode on Mario Kart. I don’t think CTR had that, or else no one thought it was as good. It really hasn’t been as good in Mario Kart either since the Wii version I’d say.

We used to keep diaries like civilized people.

Set up a camera and run the video to a nearby viewing room

Who would win? A railroad speed champion or one grassy pile?

How old is it?

I remember a Scottish lady telling us in the ’90s about how they had vans that would drive around to find illegal TVs and the whole thing was just mind-boggling to me!

I really don’t know enough about Perplexity AI to have an opinion one way or another, which is why I’m upvoting for awareness. I can’t say whether it’s a good or bad thing, although I’m not optimistic given the general trend of shoehorning “AI” in whether it makes sense or not, but I’m sure there are actually useful applications for the product and a better search engine could be one. I want actual search results, though, not a generated slop answer.

I’m not upvoting out of support for this move but to spread awareness

Wouldn’t that have been easier on grid paper? Why use ruled paper?

Wouldn’t that be added when the pasta is cold? I get the feeling OOP did this with hot pasta, possibly even heating the mayonnaise to make it more “like” Alfredo sauce.

Can you have your job pay for an iPhone while you have a different personal phone? I’m a big fan of keeping a work device that’s separate from a personal device.

I guess I interpreted your comment to mean they would go for a higher-end arrangement, something more exclusively available to people with large amounts of money, not a cheap arrangement found in an older shopping center.
