  • A reasonable tip ensures that someone will accept your order. Nobody is forced to go pick your food up.

    I member when restaurants employed drivers that actually delivered reliably without needing to bid for their attention first. Hard to forget since I was one of them!

    Hourly pay was regular minimum wage instead of the server level chump change, and when using my own car I received an amount for wear and tear + gas. So in my case tips were actual tips on top of a living wage and even if nobody had tipped it would have been an alright job.

    I can’t imagine trying to do the same thing for only tips.




  • Netflix punished me, who does not share a password, by making it impossible to sign into a TV while on a trip because it wasn’t at my ‘home location’ without switching the location. That isn’t an option when the rest of the family is still at home and wants to watch too.

    Plus Netflix had already said that sharing a password was cool with them, so it was a reversal of something that they were completely fine with when it was increasing their market share…






  • The dictionary definition, which also includes one for remembering information that does not require any physical movement, is not the same thing as a vehicle recall. A vehicle recall is about implementing fixes, which have traditionally required being serviced in a physical location even for software upgrades, but there is no reason to have a new word just because the fix can be made remotely. It isn’t like the thing that they are doing is any different than being recalled to a dealership for them to install the software updates.

    Do you think phone calls should be renamed for cell phones because they don’t use physical land line connections?

    Should electric cars be called something other than cars because they run on electricity instead of fossil fuels?

    Who cares where the car is when the recall fix is implemented? It is still a vehicle recall, just handled remotely.
