@Axtremus said in Food delivery is in trouble: It seems to require an abundance of really cheap labor to work. Not sustainable in an advanced economy like ours. I am still under the impression that food delivery (or any kind of local express delivery service) is still a big business in big cities, but it's popularly portrayed as work done by people who could not find better work. No glamour, just a lot of helplessness. Took me many years after leaving food delivery to make the equivalent cash in offices. So, fuck that. The third-party model is a bit of a Ponzi scheme but there's always going to be a call for the service.

Were I a delivering mother it would terrify me.

Ew. Barefoot on the counter?

He’s not got it at 30. He’s still a student.

Sorry to hear this. I met Prof. Reddaway in 1984 when he was a guest lecturer at Carleton University. His research into the workings of KGB’s Third Directorate back then was groundbreaking. A fine scholar and gentleman.

@Mik Pivovarov and Yashin are both determined dissident politicians. Not far removed at all from the exiled Kasparov, Khodorkovsky or Yulia Navalnaya. They know they cannot return so long as Putin remains in power. Still, they are determined to keep up the fight from abroad. Besides, the FSB confiscated their Russian foreign travel passports prior to their arrival in Ankara last week. All they have are temporary travel documents in lieu of passports. The only way for them to return to Russia is to be smuggled there. At the same time though, they will remain targets for FSB intimidation, coercion and assassination.

Wow

I wouldn’t say either of them are clean…

I still don’t get the heavy jackets for rifle.

Yeah. I almost never play and half the time I do I look at the club try and say ‘nah’ and close it.
