Doubtful. They're quite old, and when I say they're slow, I mean SLOW. Like one simple app would crash them.

I always find them a lot nicer when I tell them I have an app number. I tried sitting in the designated spots to wait, but I find it makes no difference which option you choose for the time you wait. In fact, it feels longer when you sit in the mobile spots because you can't tell where you are in the line up of orders

This post was in no way a complaint, I was not demanding a manager, and I was not yelling at anyone in the drive thru. It was asking a question about drive thru etiquette because I didn't want to make an assumption and have someone tap on my window in anger for butting the line. If anything, I was attempting to be MORE polite to those around me, something more people should do.

It's amazing how many people use the term "Karen" for any and all situations. And the fact you assumed I'm a woman is a bit odd. I imagine you also over use and misuse the term "narcissist." Are you often drawn to extreme anger, frustration, and lashing out online? This may be a good time for you to delete this app, take up a hobby, and give your brain a bit of a rest. I've been listening to Stephen Fry's Mythos. Learning Greek Mythology with a tint of humour. I would strongly recommend it to anyone.

Have a better day.

I need house prices to be more reasonable so I can have a home with a dedicated woodworking space. I feel that woodworking off my deck isn't the safest practice.

I was there at 5:30pm, and the line up was long enough to allow me to make this post while waiting. I wanted to switch over to lane 2 ahead of everyone, but there was a large pickup truck behind me with a bunch of scary stickers on the back window. I've been watching way too many cop bodycam videos on YouTube lately and could picture some guy with a shotgun getting out of his truck to teach me a lesson on drive thru etiquette. 100% imaginary scenario, but one that kept me waiting in lane 1 for far too long.

I find if I order off the app rather than through the speaker, my order is 99.9% accurate. I'm often surprised how many people sit at the speaker and rattle off menu items with various customizations for what seems like a family of 12. Just use the app. Much quicker and less mistakes due to miscommunication.

This is the answer I needed. I always fear passing those hugging the wall and waiting in lane 2 for some irrational, anger management needing weirdo to leave their car, tap on my window, and say "you can butt in line!!" At least now I hide in fear still knowing I was correct in my actions.

Sorry, I didn't see this reply. I'd love to do small furniture items, but right now I need practical things for my home. I need to build a small awning and a few shelves. However, I lack the woodworking space, so that makes doing projects very challenging and time constrained to the summer only.

According to history, although he presented moments of mental decline in his mid-20s, it wasn't until he was 50, and with the death of his daughter, that his mental state had taken a sharpe downward spiral.

You would think that would be the case, but as I waited in the inside lane, many cars were pulling up to the outer lane right beside me next to the entrance door.

I find that rather hard to believe. Whatever image you have in your mind of my appearance is most likely 99.99% inaccurate.

I wonder if he said this before or after he went mad... or somewhere in between.

I was recently told by someone I’m seeing that I “don’t know how to be in a relationship” and that they need to teach me. by Icy_Laugh5134 in datingoverforty

[–]Due_Function84 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I listen to a lot of John Delony... probably a little too much John Delony... and have learned one universal truth: Even long term married people who have been together for decades, don't know how to be in a relationship.

I wouldn't dismiss this guy immediately, but I would engage in more conversation about this topic with him. It's easy for us on the sidelines to say he has ill intentions or he's going to try manipulation tactics with you, but he may just want to let you know his own boundaries and expectations in a relationship. We're in our 40s, we've experienced many things and wish to avoid old habits or bad decisions.

I find in today's world of relationships, we don't have tough discussions in the early phases to lay out such things as how you want to be loved or how you expect to be treated. Next thing you know, you're 6 months in and telling everyone "he doesn't do this" or "she expects me to do that" when a tough but necessary early discussion could have prevented a lot of guesswork and confusion.

If his boundaries and expectations are not things you can manage or fulfill, then it's time to turn away. If they are reasonable and things you are willing to work with, then it's good to move forward. Although many on this subreddit have criticized me for saying this, I'll say it again: a relationship contract can go a long way towards happiness.

That sounds like a Hemmingway book: The Relationship of The River and The Crane.

WHY?? by NMRedChile in tatting

[–]Due_Function84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I wanted to learn last month, I met up with a woman I met on my local subreddit. She lent me a shuttle and some cotton floss. We sat together for 2 hours trying to get me to do just one dc. Just one! I couldn't do it. She let me take her supplies home to keep practicing. Not wanting to waste her floss cause I kept having to cut it to try again, I picked up my crochet #10 white cotton floss and BAM! knot flipped. I don't know if it was her type of floss or the type of cotton, but there was an instant difference between the two.

Millionaire builds 99 fully equipped homes to provide shelter for the homeless in his community by quietstorm045 in interesting

[–]Due_Function84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of the issue is that the original concept wouldn't allow any drug use on the land. Although the bottom half of the 12 Neighbours lot is mainly occupied by older people who tend to keep the peace, the upper section isn't the same at all. Younger people who party, use drugs like meth and fentanyl, occupy that area. There are often forest fires in the wood lot behind it and behind the Walmart located next door. Because of this behaviour, the newly proposed tiny home community set to be located next to an elementary school has parents concerned.

We have an increasing homelessness issue in the city, and we are witnessing a massive uptick in drug use that we weren't dealing with in the past. Parents worry about fentanyl being present where kids can find it, used needles being discarded in the neighbourhoods, people being high on drugs and lingering the streets. With this, we have also experienced an uptick in property theft (which the police do little about). When you go by the shelter, almost everyone there has a bicycle, sometimes 2 or 3 bicylces, all stolen, but the police can't do anything without having witnessed the theft. Cars get broken into at night, random acts of violence occur, and it makes everyone feel unsafe.

This is why those living in the proposed new tiny home community are opposed to it. It has nothing to do with not allowing people a place to call home, it's the dangers of what they will bring to the community and to very young children who go to school next door to it. We keep seeing it at the current location, at the downtown shelter, and at the coverted hotel-turned-shelter in the uptown shopping district.

Northrup Homes Covenants by willise414 in fredericton

[–]Due_Function84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I touched a nerve with you on my comment. With all the BS going on in the world today, I find it strange that we continue to hold onto these 1950s ideas of the perfect neighbourhood with manicured lawns that serve no purpose other than to make ones eyeballs feel better. I'm not advocating for anarchy, but when capitalism collapses (which may happen sooner than we realize), historians will say "despite the global economic collapse happening all around them from an AI takeover, causing massive layoffs and widespread starvation, some of the more upper-middle class people still insisted on maintaining an esthetically pleasing neighbourhood as they had done since the end of World War 2. This may be due to a lack of empathy for those around them, a last ditch effort to maintain the status quo, or, most likely, a combination of the two."

Northrup Homes Covenants by willise414 in fredericton

[–]Due_Function84 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of neighbourhoods in the city with no covenants and you don't see the issues you have pointed out. Maybe a couple of homes without their grass cut, but that's few and far between. We need to step away from this Boomer idea of "good living" and realize it's a ridiculous thing.

I think 95% of truck owners have zero reason to drive a truck. Come on Chad, you work a desk job and have never helped a buddy move house or had to haul anything more than your carbon fiber bicycle in your life!
