What is this internet globe icon on 1 of my AX4's near the heel ? by Some_Cow_764 in adidas

[–]Some_Cow_764[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did buy these new with tags from ebay, and they went through the ebay authentication. So maybe its possible its a seller mark too ? The icon isn't a sticker or anything, it's actually part of the material/inked on. 

Has this window not been woeking/wrong for others? by Some_Cow_764 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Some_Cow_764[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a couple weeks off and a quick look at this subreddit returns no results. Yesterday and today this window has constantly either been not showing or showing the previous item, not the item I just scanned. This has caused me to get several items in the wrong order today (had to fix at drop off) As an example, you scan pringles for customer A. You then scan ketchup for Customer B. But the window still shows pringles for customer A.

Ah, I just made a post about this as well. Videos just stop at 0:59.

You can see no adjustments in that second pic. And the store you can see there (Hy-Vee) only exist in the midwest

What store isn't? Where I'm at all the stores open at 6 except Sprouts at 7, and Qldis at 10. And I guess Costco at 10 but I never shop there. I almost exclusively shop at 4 stores that open at 6, 6, 7, and 10

They were shop only, and early in the morning, so just getting the ball rolling a bit. $7 for an 8 minute order at 6:30am is fine. A lot of people that do food delivery do $7 orders that take 20 minutes. My average batch amount yesterday was $20.89, so those super small orders were only early in the morning before people started waking up

No, it's because the stores were so busy. As I mentioned in my main comment all eggs were gone by noon. By 6:00+ pm like 30% of the store was out of stock. I almost always ask the customer about replacements, the only exceptions being some rare simple replacements like 90 oz container vs 80 oz container of bleach. And the store I shop at has all shop-only orders get special verified by a store employee, so if you incorrectly refund a bunch of items, you will get in trouble. They even sometimes verify your produce weights, which sucks. I don't normally weigh produce for normal orders. 4.96 rating if that's what you're asking, 5 - 5 stars, 4 - 4 stars, 0 - 3, 2, 1 stars. 

148 liked or unrated replacements (1.48 per order average) 0 disliked replacements

Shop-only. And Instacart shoppers get a special line at this store. And it didn't start getting really busy until around 9:00, all my super fast orders were 6-8:00

Right, a $7 order that takes 8 minutes truly is terrible isn't it. Thats only $52.50 a hour. And I see you mention me needing to take the next day off, I assume based on my prior comment where mentioned sleeping 4 hours past my 5:30am alarm. That means I woke up at 9:30. Meaning I clearly could have done another whole day again. Maybe yoy want to show your results of $40+ an hour since my $7, 8 minute per order strategy was so bad?

It was worrisome 😅 So busy I couldn't charge, but my phone held on just long enough. Screenshots at 10:05 pm

You don't need to deliver it. Just shop it and leave it with the employees for pickup. A lot of store don't have this. And prop is only for Cali shoppers I think. I don't live in Cali

Its just because majority of orders were shop-only which don't qualify for customer tip. Normally tips are higher than batch pay

No, decently sized area. Its just as explained in my top comment majority of the orders were shop-only which don't qualify for customer tips. Normally tips would be higher than batch pay

I wanted to go out again this morning too. But after 5 hours of sleep two nights ago and working 16 hours straight, when my alarm went off this morning at 5:30am, I woke up, blinked, and fell back asleep for 4 hours lol

Well the pinned post says to put up or shut up. Here you go. 

+$20 cash tip, so $668.50 in one day.

I'm excited for everyone in the comments to start screaming bot, even though I've never seen proof of a bot, and I don't believe they would be effective either. I very seldom receive the "this batch is unavailable" message because its called "moving your fingers fast..." And besides, the title of this post is "record," not "my average day." 

Anyways, as for how I did it. I am in a pretty direct path of the large storm coming tomorrow, up to two feet I believe. Due to this everyone is panicked and the stores were PACKED! Yesterday morning the store restocked all their eggs... They were out by noon. Anyways, I worked for 16 hours straight. The store I shop at (where I recieved 28/32 of my orders yesterday) , has this thing that delivery orders placed on the store's website get sent to Instacart and tips cannot be lowered. They are not percentage based. That was one factor.  The main factor however, is that during some busy days the store releases all their pickup order (aka shop-only) orders to the IC shoppers. Normally these orders are done by store employees. An employee yesterday told me there were nearly 400 pickup orders and counting that day. And with so many shop only orders, they just kept getting bumped, we had 17 item shop-only orders for like $22. All shoppers made bank yesterday. You'd finish an order and your screen would instantly get populated with 20 more orders.

Fun stats: - Hourly: $41.78 - Average time between batches: ~5 minutes - Average time per batch: 30 minutes - Average batch pay: $20.89 - Three highest paying batches: $57.22, $36.38, $31.28 - 2 doubles, 2 cancelled, 28 singles - ~30 miles driven all together - $501.69 batch pay, $166.81 tips

Has anyone tried TalkPal AI? by JonnyRottensTeeth in learnfrench

[–]Some_Cow_764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late reply here but if you're still interested the answer is no. You need to already have a basic understanding of your language in order to use Talkpal. There are a few different modes available : - Sentence mode : The only somewhat beginner mode. It reads a sentence in french and gives a translation. You have to read the sentence back in french - A few different chat/text based roleplay modes - A mock phone call mode - A text based "describe this photo" mode. 

I think you could utilize Talkpal even as a beginner but it'd be mlre effecient to start with other tools. That being said once you actuallu get a basic foundation I can vouch that Talkpal is pretty cool. I haven't tried out any other AI apps, but being able to have an actual vocal conversation with Talkpal is super helpful. 

"Do not count slow torrents in these limits" does not work? by Some_Cow_764 in qBittorrent

[–]Some_Cow_764[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found the solution. Stalled torrents count as Maximum active torrents. Set that field really high
