TITTIEKISSER69 posted:Gotta stress the takeout part of this - even if the restaurant has its own 'order online for delivery' on its website, that inevitably ends up being a Grubhub/UberEats/etc. delivery. I looked into it and, at least in the twin cities area, lots of restaurants use online services like ToastTab that are a fixed monthly fee so there is no cost to the restaurant to use those. But I still often call just because it's cool to talk to people and they often remember you when you show up to pick up.

The free online MIT intro to comp sci course is done in Python so that might be a good start to familiarize with the language and learn coding fundamentals. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electri...thon-fall-2016/

Eifert Posting posted:Is there a better example of "rich people will spend money on anything literally anything" then NFTs? I'm fairly sure I understand what they are but I feel like I don't, just because what I understand them being is so incredibly dumb. You ever heard of the star registry? Where people buy naming rights to stars? It's sort of like that in the sense that the thing you buy confers no privileges, exclusivity, rights, or royalties.

I got the unlimited PTO situation which I do like as its one less thing to track and you never have to second guess calling out sick. I'm not a big vacation guy so I tend not to use it but instead just work 30-35hr weeks instead so it balances out.

They all listen to ICP and I'm not one to judge someone's attire but they all wear cut off jean shorts with long socks and sandals. It's really hosed up. If you get the Moderna jab you will have a little bit of me in your veins. (I designed one of the fluid-contact packaging products used in their fab.)

Bird in a Blender posted:Yea, but she also says "we'll be in a much better place", so it seems like she wants the population reduced. David Roth posted:One of the defining aspects of the highly caffeinated conservative cable news sludge that Trump still chugs thirstily from morning until night is that it is hard to understand. It is intended to induce a state of heated clammy umbrage in the slack and softening minds of its consumers, and reliably does that, but it does this more through tone and frequency than by means of information. The point is to keep everyone watching both very upset and kind of curious about what exactly they’re upset about. This worked both on Trump and for him, but in no way can it be said to have made him more informed. Nothing on earth has ever really done that, but the idea is to repeat things enough that even passive viewers will be able to pick up the broad strokes, learn the heroes and villains and outrages and memes, get upset when they’re supposed to get upset and keep watching through the commercial breaks. Someone who watches enough hours of this will become not just familiar with but wholly conversant in all the salty phonemes that make up its language, but never quite know what the gently caress they’re talking about.

Replace aeropress every couple years when the rubber gets brittle and you notice leakage past the seal. e: Also, a 90% full aeropress cylinder w/ 20g of ground pressed into a large cup filled with ice = amazing Japanese iced coffee.

That guys has done huge write ups for at least three shows, maybe more. I can’t even imagine how much time that guy spends watching and writing about TV just for SA. It’s good stuff, but it’s a lot. I remember Jerusalem did an incredibly high-effort Lets Play of GTA:SanAndreas like 10 years go. It had in-character custom narration and embedded gameplay gifs. I think my dude just really enjoys putting in the work for fun projects and sharing them with us.

And then if you stopped rubbing his tummy he'd look at you like "Why the gently caress aren't you rubbing my tummy?" My cat will aggressively lick your hand when you go for tummy rubs.

Dango Bango posted:drat, props to you all for just shaving you heads. Unfortunately I'm not blessed with a great head shape which is why I want to get out in front of my thinning hair. I am in a similar spot in that the writing is on the wall hair-wise but I'm not ready to just buzz/shave it down. Best thing I've found is to just find a short/med hairstyle that you like and fits your expectations re: maintenance. The worst thing you can do is try to enforce an artificial hairline; just ask the barber to get it to the same length and let it fall where it may. As a rule, any effort/money/time/stress you put towards your hair can be much better spent on other things (fitness, weight loss, etc) with much better results.
