@taiwan_girl said in GrubHub, Doordash, UberEats:

@George-K Just curious, do the place you wanted to get a burger not offer delivery by themselves?

Nope - when you click "delivery," they take you to Doordash. I always try direct delivery first if the restaurant offers it. More money for the restaurant, and usually a bit cheaper.

Our go-to pizza place has its own delivery service, and it ends up being about $2 cheaper for the same food.

As is Misoprostol.

Saw Cytotec being used all the time.

@Klaus said in Glasgow Euro-Par:

... and it turns out that a person on Brendaette's thesis committee is a quite close colleague of mine who was recently an examiner of one of my PhD students. Small world...

I love this. Thank you for sharing this, Klaus!

It tells me why kiddo likes this person so much. If she's a close colleague of Klaus, she must be very knowledgeable and personable.

Sweet corn requires an inch of water per week.

And an absolute fuckload of nitrogen. Water is one thing, but where you gettin' the nitrogen?

I dont think you can get the same "yield" has a farmer would that is doing it, but if just wanting some corn and not worry about maximize the amount, I think it will work

Sweet corn is a big deal where I'm from, and there, you can't grow it everywhere.

You'd like to hit sweet corn twice with nitrogen, once at the knee high stage and once when it tassles. You can use triple 8 or triple 13, in a pinch, but you run the risk of putting in too much of the other components besides nitrogen.

Or, you can spread in a little decomposed cotton gin trash or some barnyard fertilizer, providing it isn't too hot.

Corn is essentially a grass derivative. As long as you use a sustained release lawn fertilizer with just a hair of iron and no weed preventative, it will work just fine. I've done that before and probably will do so again.

@Jolly said in Think Biden is making stronger ties with our allies?:

Thought Trump actually made a little progress down there. More than the Nobel Peace Prize winner that came before him...

I do agree with this.

Stupid may be a nother word.

There are some who are better. One of my faves is moving from GMFB, probably for Amazon.

If I were a young man (she's 35), I'd do Kay Adams standing up in a hammock...

@xenon said in Gen Z:

Said another way - isn't what Gen Z turned out to be a reflection of how the generation before raised them?

Of course it is.

Now, get off my lawn.

That was most excellent. Two bands I like.

Kid was one of the best college players I had ever seen. Came close to getting the Heisman as a defensive player and that's saying a lot. Then, he got himself kicked off the team for being an idiot...Too much fame, too fast. Kid didn't even get drafted until the third round.

Took Patrick Peterson to straighten him out, and Pat put himself and his family waaay out there to do it.

@Mik said in The Draft:

Any relation to Carl Pickens? he's about the right age.

Bengals have really upgraded their secondary with three very fast picks. I like them all. I also like the NDSU right guard they drafted - 6'6" and 320 lbs. Add in the D tackle and I'd say we will be more solid than we were.

If we can give Burrow time to work without running for his life....

No relation… But holy crap, the kid the Steelers got in the 4th might be even better. He just flat out flies. (2nd best time in the combine) and also has range (second best vertical leap at the combine)…

If Kennywood, Mason, or Mitch are average as a starter, the Steelers are still relevant.

About as much as the Reds are.

I thought this would be about the Reds. 3-20.

Sous-Vide on the cheap, eh?

@jon-nyc " . . . they live in a trigger state"

Nail on the head, I think. Thanks to social media, it is now not only fashionable but close to imperative in the minds of many to launch outrage on any content that veers even slightly from the bland.

"Mothers, do you feed your children supermarket peanut butter? Did you know supermarket peanut butter contains SUGAR? What kind of no-nothing parent are you, you stupid fucking COW? You should be taken away and DROWNED in the OCEAN, you irresponsible fuckwit!!!!!!!!!!"

"When the spacewalkers return to their craft, remove their helmets and go through the airlock, they describe smelling a myriad of things from a Nascar race to barbeque, burning metal, brake pads,...."

so astronauts are NASCAR fans....

@89th said in Happy Birthday 89th!:

@taiwan_girl - that is funny! I really liked Bush Jr. I thought he was much smarter and more authentic than the press gave him credit for during his time in office. My opinion of him has only grown since then.

When he released the public statement re-affirming the race narrative in the wake of George Floyd, I lost respect for him as a thinking human being. I also lost a sliver of hope for humanity in general, when someone like him can get swept up by the righteous mob group-think like that. He didn't need to say anything.
