Perhaps another stringed instrument but one that's way different (in sound as well as playing), like the sitar?

I work nights and am thinking of picking up a postmates/doordash job for my off days or if we're overstaffed. Which of the food delivery companies is last poo poo to work for?

Stravag posted:I work nights and am thinking of picking up a postmates/doordash job for my off days or if we're overstaffed. Which of the food delivery companies is last poo poo to work for? A lot people who work for these companies full-time suggest having multiple apps running at the same time. The idea is that you’ll make a lot more money if you’re extremely picky about which deliveries to make. I didn’t do that, but when I did DoorDash I declined ~90% of offers and averaged $20-$25 an hour. A big difference between DoorDash and Uber Eats (the only other app I’ve tried) is that DoorDash tells you upfront what the customer is going to tip you and Uber Eats doesn’t. Unfortunately around half of people tip $0-1 so DoorDash lets you be sure how much you’ll make for a delivery. Also get a mileage tracking app for tax purposes (the best ones you’ll have to pay for) because a lot of people new to gigs like this get blindsided come tax season, and using your miles can save you hundreds of dollars.

Right okay how do you stop hiccups I've tried: drinking water, drinking water from the opposite side of the glass, eating a spoonful of sugar, and distracting myself

This has worked for me every time since I started doing it a few years ago. Just think to yourself "do a hiccup, c'mon, do a hiccup, big one, let's go" and you sort of take conscious control of the process? My wife had the hiccups and I told her I would give her ten dollars for every hiccup she could do in a minute, time starts now, go! She couldn't do a single one.

Supposedly the only real life science tested way to get rid of hiccups is shoving something up your rear end. That is not a joke just delivering science news

FCKGW posted:oh drat I always put $0 but tip in cash because I'm paranoid about the company stealing it, I've probably been shooting myself in the foot lol I get that! It used to be an issue with DoorDash that technically the tip would go to the driver, but the company would reduce the pay by the same amount as long as it was over the guaranteed minimum. After some outrage that is no longer the case and the tip will go to the driver in addition to the base pay. That being said, I used to take $0 tip orders with the mentality of “surely they’ll tip in cash when I deliver these four Little Caesar’s pizzas to the hospital”, but I’ve been burned enough that I no longer risk it. Doing no tip will probably increase the time it takes to receive your food because most people “swipe left” on you until the app slowly increases the base pay to make it worth it.

Today I saw a mid-sized SUV getting towed from a grocery store parking lot because it was parked across two spaces, except it was straddling the front line to take up a front and a back space, as if they were pulling through but stopped half way. All four spaces to it's left and right were empty. What possible reason could someone have for parking this way?

Some cars are so long they kinda stick out of normal parking spaces painted for the cars of years past. Sometimes you'll see the drivers pull up to they aren't blocking the aisle. Leal posted:The owner was a douchebag. I would posit the opposite. Their car is too long for the space so they pulled forward to not stick out into the aisle. As long as there's still parking available I don't see the big deal.

I'm well aware of the douche move of straddling two side by side spaces. They weren't parked in such a way that there was extra space to the cars's left and right, but to the car's front and back. The sides were still vulnerable to dings, and it was far enough over that it was clearly deliberate. It wasn't an issue of being too long either, this was a normal length car in a great big Meijer parking lot in the suburbs.

I asked my MIL and she said that it might be to access the trunk, basically they don't want to hit a car with the hatch, and they also didn't want to stand in the parking lot part with all their stuff, but honestly there's no reason to do that other than being an rear end in a top hat.

Not discounting the very likely 'douchebag' option, but some people are so poo poo at driving that it's possible they are so bad at judging distances, that they thought it was perfectly aligned when they parked and either didn't notice or didn't care when they got out. Source: my elderly aunty who misjudged her car's length and parked it into the side of her house. Three times.

Well whatever the reason, sucks to be them, it was being loaded onto a flatbed as I was leaving. Imagine standing in a 95 degree parking lot with a cart full of groceries wondering where your car went.
