I do shipt deliveries and MOST people dont tip. Maybe half if Im lucky and thats with me going out of my way to communicate any issues or substitutions that might be necessary.

I had no idea you're supposed to tip for product deliveries.

$20-$30/hr plus mileage reimbursement for dominos pizza deliveries plus tips?

in total over the course of 11 deliveries, she received $13 in cash tips and $42.29 in credit card tips, averaging at $5.03 a tip per delivery.

She concluded the TikTok by saying: "Its not terrible for a Monday, but it could be better - but its not terrible!"

The video has gone viral on TikTok with more than 750,000 views, 57,000 likes and 8,000 comments.

A lot of people in the comment section expressed their shock at the amount Allison made on tip and the number of customers who did not leave her a tip.

If I can add some commentary, $3 tip for delivery is standard, proven by Dominos $3 tip to you if you deliver yourself (i.e., pick up):

I think heart murmurs are irregular heart flows. It could be just a one-off thing, or it could mean something is going on. I believe he added it to the notes to keep track of it, but didn't want to scare you if it's just nothing.

Heart murmurs are rated out of 6, with 1 being the lowest, least sever. I only know this because the vet claims my maltese terrier has a 3/6 murmur. I'm not gonna sit here and tell you how big of a deal it is, because I'm not gonna spread that kinda misinformation.

Got it. Im going to guess this isnt a big deal. Thanks for calming me down.

Is this cause for concern? Doc didnt say anything at the time of exam; I just read that on the internal notes he took.

What's wrong with the dogs having a space of their own? Who cares if it's in the garage, they literally have a Christmas tree. Those dogs are living a life that many people can only dream of.

Yeah I don't think it was. I just didn't notice the frame drops when I watched it in IMAX 3D, but I immediately noticed the frames dropping consistently when I watched it standard the moment the Naavi's were moving. I got annoyed by it for maybe the first 15-20 minutes before (I think) my eyes adjusted to it.

Gotcha

Honestly, the most visceral and memorable part in that entire movie is like the 10 second scene where water starts gushing into the submarine and the two men scramble to get their masks on to exit. That scene is like the only scene in the entire movie that looked 100% real; knowing James Camerons filming style, I bet that scene was actually real, and the actors legit were scared.

Prestoff posted...

Yeah when I went to a normal screening of it on my first watch, I notice the movie would consistently go from 48 frames to drop to 24 frames. It did get distracting, but eventually my eyes got used to it (it had to because the movie was +3hrs long). When I watched it the second time in IMAX 3D, it was consistent frames through and through which probably meant the movie was meant to be watched in IMAX 3D.

I watched it in Dolby Cinemas, because I wanted the amazing sound effects vs the big screen. I didnt think this movie was filmed in imax?

VoightKent posted...

Wait do those 3d movies not show in 24fps like regular movies?

James Cameron filmed this in 48fps, and not traditional 24fps.

idk what it is, but it just looked like a really amazing graphics video game. Hell, there were scenes where it looked like frames dropped and the movie was going under 48fps! Not sure if that was the movie, the 3D effect, the projector, etc., but it made me laugh.

Every bit of what you're saying is wrong.

First, the militarization of police has nothing to do with demonstrations in France. The militarization began way before there was any thing like this happening.

Second, this isn't happening right now. That video from France is 3 year old. Not that it matters much.

Oh.

Advocating police militarization on CE. This will go well.

*grabs popcorn*

Im not advocating police militarization; Im trying to make sense of why police wants to militarize. I think police militarization sucks ass.

Maybe people would not riot against cops if the cops didn't murder people and get away with it

I mean thats not why Paris is rioting right now, but okay.

Look at your normal crowd control cops being defenseless and pushed back:

This is the reason in the USA, police are accepting military surplus vehicles and getting trained as if its us vs them mentality. How do you fix this?

CommonStar posted...

100% justified in being pissed. But also better to channel that anger into helping them get their car fixed, the faster that happens, the faster you get your car back. Also they should pay to have your car detailed for all that smoke.

CobraGT posted...

Either way, their car needs to be towed to the dealer so help the situation out by calling the dealer and setting it in motion.

I would be pissed but be a better person.

Bah you guys are too reasonable. Im going to call the dealer tomorrow.

IdiotMachine posted...

So technically, this is my car (registered to me, and majority funded by my wife and I), but purchased for my parents-in-law. My parents know this too.

And now that my parents-in-law dont have a car, my wife needs to drive them around for shit, like lab appointments and groceries and stuff.

Getting pretty annoyed about all this crap.

Atralis posted...

I feel like I have to ask given that this is CE.

Did you buy the new car or was it purchased by your parents?

I bought it, specifically for my parents-in-law too. Long story short, my parents-in-law crashed their 10-year old vehicle, and needed financial help buying a car; so we bought a brand new 2022 Hyundai Venue for them (under my name, with some of the money from them (i.e., the insurance check), but majority from my wife and I) back in October. This was really poor timing for us, because we are already committed to purchasing a $60k minivan soon...

So technically, this is my car (registered to me, and majority funded by my wife and I), but purchased for my parents-in-law. My parents know this too.

Our other car at the moment is a 2019 RAM truck; like hell I'm letting my parents drive a truck.

buddhamonster posted...

Are you sure they have failed to get theirs fixed through inaction, or is it just a bad time of year to get a mechanic scheduled?

Between Christmas and the storms, I had to wait several days for my work van to just be looked at, and the garage we use has a deal with our company and so rushed us ahead of others and it still took them several days to do something that could have been hammered out in an afternoon.

Maybe the places around you are just swamped?

Smoking when you asked not to is still a major dick move, though

They told me they didnt call the dealer yet. They have an extended warranty that covers a rental/loaner car, so I expected them to use that benefit ASAP, not just drive my car around.

My parents car broke down on 12/21, and I lent them my brand new car (of under 1000 miles) as a temporary measure. By today, 12/26, they STILL didnt tow their car nor get it looked at, and are still driving my car around. According to my app, they put 400 miles on it already, going to their friend house, church, a mall, etc.

I went to their house to try to see the condition of the car and to see when theyre going to fix their car, and its clear they smoked in my car too. I gave them a time limit: return my car by next week. Theyre pretty pissed off and are yelling at me for not helping them out.

Am I in the wrong here? Because this is pretty fucking bullshit from my perspective. If I was borrowing a car from someone, Id drive it as little as possible and treat it good, not like what my parents are doing to my car.

Who cares what food they spend their EBT on? This is some weird ass shit. I used to have EBT and I bought steak with mine. What should I have done? Gotten some poor people food? lol

While I dislike that EBT is giving people that much money they can buy steaks and lobsters without a thought, the effort it will take to control what you can and cannot buy with EBT must be significant and not a worthwhile endeavor.

I got a brand new minivan and this fucker has so little ground clearance, Im scraping exiting my own driveway and whenever entering a lot of other areas from the public roadway.

Seriously thinking about lifting this fucker like a couple of inches, but I feel like this will look stupid as fuck. Then again, Im already driving a minivan, so who cares what it looks like?

Thoughts?

Empire or First Order or whatever. How is it possible for them to lose?

lol

so I actually looked at AirBNB, and there are people renting out their timeshares!

Man, furnace has been on for 24 hours straight now, and house temp is just 66F. Outside temp is still -1F, with windchills as low as -25F.

Here's an example of one on eBay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/266041033270

So you have 51st week for you, for 1 week, at this place; no flexibility, must be the 51st week. You have to pay $1300/yr maintenance fee (which goes up every year) = $186/day. For $186/day, you could definitely just go get a hotel room!

If you normally bought a timeshare, you're out like $30k or whatever it costs to get the "property" too.

Norman_Smiley posted...

Do you have a heat pump instead of an actual furnace? They don't work as well in extreme cold.

If its like a gas furnace, it should be able to heat your house. Check your furnace filter. If you haven't changed it recently that can make it run inefficiently.

Gas furnace. Furnace filter replaced a couple of weeks ago; I replace these after every 300 hours of use (as tracked via the smart thermostat).

Count_Ravioli posted...

I mean you could have air leaks

Yea, the house has like over 30 windows so leaks are definitely a thing thats unavoidable.

littlebro07 posted...

Sounds like some air leaks

Normally not a huge deal but combined with loss of power causing a huge drop in temperature it makes it very difficult to catch up

Maybe try running the oven for a couple hours to get some extra heat in the house, then the furnace will take over and act normal.

Worked in our old apartment when this happened to us

Never thought about that. Good idea!

Today, outside temperatures reached -4F. We lost power overnight, dropping our house temperature to 46F, before gaining our power back this morning. Ever since then, furnace has been on the whole time and house is still only 65F and its struggling to get it to a comfortable 70F.

Is this a furnace undersize issue or is this just a series of unfortunate events (e.g., furnace capacity is designed to sustain heat fine, but cant raise heat under extraordinary circumstances)?

Buy TurboTax the day after Christmas.

For example, if you found a towel made of cotton for $10 but find an eco-sustainable towel sourced from good paying cotton farmers for $20, and both are the same quality, would you buy the $20 one?

Unless you fucked off most of your life, your child is an adult or close when you're 40-ish, and you and your spouse are empty-nesting.

We had our firstborn when we were in our early 30s lol

If I have to pick between saving my wife or saving my child, if my wife is of child-bearing age, I will save her since we can always make more. If she is older than 40ish, then I will save our child so our genes can live on. I told my wife I would expect the same from her about me: save me, until shes 40+; then save our child and let me perish.

My wife says Im fucked up thinking this way. Thoughts?

You have to go to the site and watch the video. Some highlights:

"Each card comes with an automatic chance to win amazing prizes, like dinner with me! ...I don't know if that's an amazing prize, but it's what we have."

"My official Trump digital trading cards are $99, which doesn't sound like very much for what you're getting."

That's your life now.

But its super annoying. Especially when walking on stairs and when holding my baby.

I have two cats-

• white one is super cuddly, but not clingy (would find a lap to sit on, and jump up to sit; if youre walking around, would leave you alone);
• grey one is a normal cat (doesnt really care about you and would seldomly come and ask for pets).

After a newborn child, these two cats changed personalities drastically:

• white one now is acting standoff-ish, and doesnt like to cuddle nor be with anyone;
• grey one became clingy as fuck and would regularly follow me everywhere and walk right next to me to the point that I will trip over her, and would jump up my lap any given moment, even when Im sitting on the god damn toilet.

Both cats seem to not give a shit about the baby, and both cats seem to ignore my wife now.

What do I do, cat experts of CE?

Yup but not by choice. When I had Hodgkin's Lymphoma, they had to tattoo 3 dots (one on each of my shoulder blades and one right in the middle of my chest) on me so that they could align the radiation therapy machine in the same spot each week I went in for my treatment.

I feel like this doesn't count.

Why or why not?

Me: I do not. I never thought to get one, as I don't see the point.

This is part of the reason Ill be loyal to my employer (which some people couldnt fathom in my older topic where I asked if I should stay at my current role or move on to a different role, under the same company). While pay is less than industry average (7 years of experience but just barely making over $100k), benefits are incredible.

In addition to the fantastic work life balance (with rare OT (which are paid at 1x) and lots of time off as noted in the OP, and even 1 month paternity and 3 month maternity leaves), we get a 401k with 9% match, a pension, free high deductible health insurance (you can pay more for the lower deductible one), and bunch of other insurances for free (like life insurance, disability insurance, etc.).

I enjoy my job and am thankful to my employer. Hell, they even allow telework as an option. I choose very rarely to telework though, since I actually enjoy going into the office: We get subsidized breakfast and lunch there from the cafeteria ($1 for breakfast, $2 for lunch); plus if Im in the office, I can keep my AC/heat off at home, so I save money being at work lol.

3 days off every week (I pick Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays off; it can be any days since we have Flex Time) = 156 days.

20 paid time off days. (Can carry over 2x; I have the maximum 40 days banked and always carry over max)

I thought she was great. Once i had full control, Vanille never left my party.

She had a base 1% chance to instakill enemies, plus an additional 1% chance per status ailment on that enemy.

So with a bit of luck, you could instant kill them long before you normally would be able to. Which helped you get the materials needed to create the strongest weapons for each character.

You needed a ton of them, and they weren't a 100% drop, so this didn't make the game easy, just started the grind earlier.

Huh. I never knew she had a 1% chance of instant kill.
