Fun fact - the original lesser known Snakebite is a shooter of Yukon Jack and Rosie’s Sweetened Lime. The name was assumably stolen for the Guinness/cider combo
Do you (or anyone else reading this) have a good recommendation for a Lemmy alternative for /r/personalfinance? I learned a lot from that community and am realizing I am missing that content here.
That’s not true. I worked for a restaurant that was unwillingly put on the DoorDash site/app. Consumers put their order in through DD and DD would put it into our online ordering system. We had customers calling about delivery times and cold food, but we didn’t do delivery. This is even in the video - Chipotle sent them a Cease & Desist.
There’s more to the business than just placing an order and cooking food. The restaurants reputations are in the hands of these services because the consumer is interacting with the service, not the restaurant.
Lots of assumptions in this comment, the biggest one is that hungry people are reasonable. They’re not. The main issue is that we never opted into this experience that we didn’t control from beginning to end. That’s kind of an important piece of service delivery. Yes, when Karen is mad about something that’s not our fault, we could just put on our customer voice disarm the situation. But there are other things we could do when we owns the entire process.
What happens when you’re sitting at a restaurant and your server accidentally rang in the wrong dish? They can bring you a new one, offer something complimentary, take it off the bill, apologize in person, buy you a drink… I realize I’m comparing an in person experience to a delivery order, but it applies there too. DoorDash had used an out of date menu for our restaurant for their website, so people had ordered one of our most popular seasonal dishes out of season. Their orders get to their house and it’s not there. They’re upset so they try and call DoorDash (good luck). That doesn’t go anywhere fast (timing is important now because some of the party has hot food they ordered and some does not). It was never communicated to them that it wasn’t actually an option, even though it was (incorrectly) listed on the website/app. So they call the restaurant, who has no idea what the customer is talking about because they don’t know anything about DoorDash being a partner and they also know for a fact that the dish in question is not on the menu. So now the manager has to get involved, unravel the entire situation because there is an upset customer on the phone during peak dinner shift and they are pulled away from their other duties (taking care of guests they know about). The restaurant is in the community (very important) and DoorDash is not. When people talk about that restaurant in conversation (or on yelp, trip advisor etc) that experience is going to come up as a reflection of the restaurant, not DoorDash because the person posting the review is posting a review of the restaurant (NOT DOORDASH).
I editorialised the title as the original was clickbait, but the video itself is quite good.

Trying to see if anyone has a routine for someone totally new to running.

If you decide you do want a watch, my wife loves her Garmin. It comes with running training software/program for free which she used to train for a 10k and then a half marathon. She found not having to program for herself to be very valuable and motivating. It’s not one of the top tier ones but it does everything she needs.
This might be the wrong community to ask this but I’ll give it my shot. I already own a very good Trek bike but it’s an urban commuter. I want something that handle dirt and country roads just as good as a Jeep or Land Cruiser. I know mountain bikes are best suited for off-road scenarios but I’ve only ever used urban bikes...
If you can summarize what you’re trying to do with a bike, it’d be a lot easier to recommend the right tool for the job. For most people, a front suspension mountain bike (hard tail) with 100-120mm of travel would do most things they want to do well. I highly suggest looking at the secondary market like pink bike, Facebook marketplace, and Craigslist.

I just want to say that I really appreciate how much effort you put into this post when all I wanted to do was shake my pitchfork. Thanks for starting an actual discussion!
I’d like to start by saying that I’m not trying to be a hater. Anything that gets people on a bike instead of in a car is a positive in my book.
That said, is no one concerned with the width of some of these things that are being designed? Yes, I understand that cyclists should take the road lane when there is not a bike lane etc. but I just don’t see how the sheer size of these things is appropriate, especially in the US. People would run this shit off the road so fast because carbrain. Also, if your goal is bikepacking, how is this conducive to getting to a desirable location to set up camp? You’re not getting anywhere remote or isolated with this thing in tow.
Genuinely curious to hear how others feel about these big bulky things getting in bike lanes and on shoulders. The delivery truck replacement bikes are another example of something I have lots of questions about when it comes to the safety of other road users (other cyclists).
I know I posted about this in the past, but I’d love to see a game day thread or game thread for this community! Doesn’t have to be fancy, just a consistent place where we can rally around the team.

Basically, it’s been five days and I’m unable to even sit in a chair without a struggle. I didn’t go too hard, mainly squats and leg press. I didn’t think it would take this long to recover considering I still run 4 times a week. Is it normal to be this sore and what can I do to help it?...
I’ve found that the best way to get through it is to move through that range of motion more often, unloaded. Stretch, do a handful of air squats, then do them again later, then again later. Not saying you have to work out, but moving thorough it and exposure will help.
Just got back into the gym again and want to incorporate yoga. I find that it relaxes me and I think it could help me with my lifts. I’m just not sure when to incorporate it.
Yoga will definitely help with your lifts. It can be excellent for your off days of training to have longer yoga sessions (maybe go to a class at your gym?). I started doing Yoga with Adrienne (YouTube) in the mornings and find it really helps loosen me up and start my day with some nice intention.
