    is it because it's so clean when compared to many other subways?

    I mean yes, but not as clean as Montreal was. I think I just genuinely like the architecture. The honeycomb thing

    I mean it also is self warming with how often it is on fire. :rotate:

    You do the doordash delivery thing? Is it true they don't give you the tips if people tip digitally?

    Yeah I've been tipping cash but haven't interrogated a driver about it recently. Last time i did, the driver said they'd all been informed that the company had just been indicted over the matter?

    That was a better explanation of static than I have ever seen in my life.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    Nah we get the tips. What is fuzzy about it is that there are two parts of the pay: doordash's pay and the tip. When someone declines the order DoorDash raises their pay so the next person is more likely to accept it. So if you tip $10 and you live a mile away, the first person to see it is going to accept it. If you tip $1 it'll probably get rejected until DoorDash raises their pay enough to compensate. This kind of system needs to exist for them to be able to guarantee someone takes the order eventually, when as independent contractors they cannot punish drivers for refusing orders. I have a 20% acceptance rate because so many of the orders are bad. So in a sense you're subsidizing DoorDash when you tip in the app, but you also want someone bring your food in a reasonable amount of time

    This is my complete collection of Shadowrun books, laid out so you can see the covers instead of the spines.

    I thought it would be fun for people to call out random pages and I show what's in them, to honor the OP of this chat.


    I'm also thinking I might do this again in the future with my next chat, which if I get selected will be called "Shadow[chat] Returns"

    (Shadowrun is my favorite RPG and I know a few of the writers.)

    Both times I used doordash I tipped OK, got a driver immediately and then they had to wait for food to be ready. It seems like they cant possibly come out ahead and the scheduling algorithm is broken? I got some promo credit and used that, I dont know if I would again

    I feel bad having someone spend 10 minutes for what seems like $2 too.

    Most of these are out there in pennies-cheap PDFs. So far no one's requested a book by Catalyst, let alone one in active print.

    ... and I think the guys who make Shadowrun would play along, knowing them. :D

    We are making Marcella Hazan’s tomato sauce which is literally just a can of San Marzanos, a onion cut in half (then removed after cooking), butter, and salt.

    I am skeptical, but I definitely respect the commitment to simplicity and am prepared to be pleasantly surprised.

    You’re on the cusp, so you have to fill out the questionnaire:

    - Depeche Mode or Vampire Weekend?
    - He-Man or Darkwing Duck?
    - Cheers or Frasier?
    - Surge or Mountain Dew Code Red?
