Maybe it's regional, but Instacart use in my area straight up says which stores are priced the same or which are priced at a premium when you click on it. It isn't hidden at all.

Multiple people shared the account and communicated by making draft messages. And apparently notable things were said/left as draft.
I have 4 different bank accounts that I use primarily (technically 10 total). What I do is split up my direct deposits and/or schedule transfers so that everything is bucketed. One account for fixed monthly bills, one for variable things like groceries, one for savings, and one for whatever I want, etc.
I put a little more than necessary in each account each month, so every so often I may have a surplus for a given bucket, too. This will either go towards the accelerated payoff of something or I'll split the difference and move half to my fun bucket.
For the most part, this keeps necessary money (bills and savings) out of sight or mind and it's easier to control my impulse spending when the only account I can/should be spending from has a low limited amount.
I hope this is a R&M reference.
Dude, that's fucked up. What the heck...can you host your own servers like...I dunno, CounterStrike? Or is it dead-dead?
I actually encountered an issue earlier today where my important wasn't working...and it was because another dev had already added a more specific important.
I deleted their important.
I miss Superstore :(
You sound like me. I'm diagnosed autistic (mildly), I'm a software engineer, I'm introverted, I'm definitely liberal leaning, and...I live in Oregon.
For now, I love it here (except Portland proper). So many great restaurants, bars, breweries, wineries, and a crap ton of trails and other parks and sights and sounds.
I live semi-rural and half the businesses here have pride flags and BLM signage. I'm non-white, but don't feel unsafe walking around where I am at night. My tech contract jobs are remote and I make more than enough to live comfortably.
It rains a lot here... though less so these days it seems. It's weird how many 100+ degree days we get now, but it's still a lot less than other people I know.
I'm rambling. If you want to know more, just ask.
As a tech worker, I do almost jack shit and make deep into the six figures. Honestly, I'd be fine if UPS drivers made more than me, good on them.
Frankly, in terms of total compensation, pay them more.
I'm sorry you couldn't finish it, but...for whatever reason, this comment is the funniest thing I've seen and hardest I've laughed at anything all day, so thank you for that!
Agreed!
SMS via 3rd party apps has and always will be buggy in some way, shape, or form, at least on Android. No clue why. Since the dawn of Android phones and after some 25-30 Android-specific phones owned in my life, I've yet to use a non stock SMS app that worked flawlessly all the time. Closest I've come, unfortunately, is Google Messages, and even that isn't perfect.
My parents use Signal and are the most tech averse people I know, so it isn't that hard. I converted all my friends to Signal. Switched wife to Signal.
SMS is maybe 3% of my usage these days and about 2% of that is just restaurant reservations or spam. There are two people I message via SMS like once a quarter and that's it.
Satisfied enough, I guess. I make a little over half a million a year. Thing is, I burn about $30k/mo right now trying to keep my small businesses afloat (debts from mid-covid, payroll, medical benefits for employees). A little less than $10k/mo goes to my own bills, savings, retirement, health, etc. Rest usually goes back to the community or local charitable causes.
I take zero money out of my businesses and haven't for 3 years or so now.
What would be great is if I could get back to where the businesses are self-sustaining, but the last few COVID years changed so much that I'm beginning to doubt it's possible and at the moment I don't have the heart to just shut them down or leave the employees without a job.
But, I can't work 80 hours+ a week forever. I have a family too. I think it will help once the debts are paid off, but just trend/trajectory-wise it will still take some additional foot traffic and sales growth that I'm just not sure will happen anymore.
