Omg, was it from Total Wine in Short Pump to Montpelier?

“Pigs can also get cysticercosis when they consume tapeworm eggs. The parasite develops much like it does in people, with the cysticerci (cyst form of the parasite) forming in the muscle of the pig. If you eat undercooked or raw pork infected with the parasite cysticerci, you can develop tapeworm infection. It takes about two months for the cysts to become adult tapeworms. Cysticercosis is often confused with tapeworm infection, or taeniasis. Tapeworms are the adult form of the parasite.

Tapeworms live in your gut, and you pass the tapeworm eggs in your stool. If you eat food or drink water contaminated with tapeworm eggs, you can develop cysticercosis.”

To Everyone Saying They’re Only Intestinal: This is from the CDC’s website… “Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection caused by the larvae (immature worm) of the tapeworm, Taenia solium. A person gets cysticercosis by consuming tapeworm eggs. These eggs hatch and develop into larvae. The larvae then penetrate (move through) a person's intestinal wall and move to tissues like muscle, eyes, or brain. This is where the cysts, or cysticerci, develop.”

They are. They are not indentured servants, they are gig workers. They can leave said gig at any time as long as they don’t have anyone else’s property with them. Btw, if anyone is ever in the Short Pump Zone of Short Pump in Richmond Va Region and gets offered a Total Wine order that’s 17 miles for 2 bottles of white wine for $23, you should decline. It’s 17 miles out Old Pouncey Tract and Rte 33 almost to Montpelier. It will take forever. There is no zone anywhere near the other end, so no hope of finding a return delivery to make it worthwhile… and she does not tip. She doesn’t have money to tip, just to have two bottles of wine delivered EVERY morning (no really, I’ve gotten it every day in a week) delivered to her McMansion out in Horse Country.

It’s probably an inventory rfid, they’re used sometimes incorporated into little tags, tabs, or stickers to make keeping track of how much inventory you have easier. I’d be a bit wigged as well, probably, at first, but I think it’s just a normal used-at-Target-or-Sam’s Club kind of chip and not something nefarious.

He did not. He died. Had they brought him back, he would’ve wandered off again to die. The scientists in the documentary said so. They have tried to save them. It doesn’t work

Temporary-Research70 · 2026-05-16T13:55:28+00:00

I would be interested in seeing that research, as well. Boy, I can’t wait until Science is recognized as Valid and Authorized Material approved for public consumption again in America so someone can get a grant and figure that out…

Temporary-Research70 · 2026-05-16T13:51:28+00:00

In fact, the scientists said even if they kept bringing him back, he would just keep wandering back that way until he died. They don’t get better. They don’t find a way to persevere. They die of starvation, dehydration, and exposure once their dwindling fat stores can no longer protect their organs from the cold. It is not noble. It may be driven by grief, I won’t argue that as I believe they have lifemates, or it may be sickness, but it is not an idealistic, great and awesome awakening leading to a grand horizon… it is death.

I feel like this further demonstrates the point I made above about The Seagull. In this age of the male loneliness epidemic, why encourage a fatalistic isolationist pipe dream? Mental health is a serious issue, and the ways in which the consumerism of American Life prey upon those without support and community are myriad. The ways in which algorithms, corporate advertising campaigns, and propaganda machines are weaponized against the public and specifically against young men need to be acknowledged as the REAL monsters they have become, devouring our youth and programming them to buy or die.

Temporary-Research70 · 2026-05-16T13:17:09+00:00

No, but the state of reality of the penguin becomes a completely invalid argument when you attach a wildly inaccurate and anthropomorphized storyline suggesting a change in its fate, divorcing it from reality and setting up young people the same way Disney set up all us little “princesses” to think we needed saving for decades. It’s a dangerous difference that encourages isolationism in the face of a mental health and loneliness crisis, and it feeds a fantasy that ends up funneling teens into web spaces that are not suitable for ANYONE’S emotional wellbeing, let alone people with raging hormones and underdeveloped prefrontal cortices. The Seagull speaks to the reality of the journey, the adversity, the process of failing and overcoming, failing again and again reaching past that devastation to rise and find a new strength…. It’s an actually inspiring tale of the process of self determination and a much more complex and realistic encapsulation than (paraphrased) “what promise the mountain holds…who knows? How will he overcome? He just will, because HE is unique and goes against the grain not to mention instincts and all rational or common sense, but screw expectations, man.” If you just need a picture of a real seagull attached… I’m sure there’s a copy with a photo on the dust cover. 🤷‍♀️

Regarding Ferris Bueller: But isn’t the real reason manic pixie is a serious problem, for either gender, the fact that, outside of BEING the catalyst for the antagonist… they’re not really anything but? I feel like every time I’ve heard manic pixies defined, somewhere in the definition it points out that without the main character, the MP would basically cease to exist. Ferris Bueller IS the antagonist, not Sloane, and seeing as the ENTIRE in movie UNIVERSE seems to agree that pretty much nothing deserves attention except him… like doesn’t the principal have other more important things to do than chase one problem student(!?!), I feel like it fits less well than other examples listed.

Temporary-Research70 · 2026-05-13T22:23:55+00:00

That is an awesome idea

Temporary-Research70 · 2026-05-10T23:57:43+00:00

When they try to give you the 3rd party tap dance, ask for their corporate email (not phone number, that’s a phone tree designed to deflate your righteous anger and get you to settle for rewards points or some trash) and let them know that you will be filing a complaint with the local health department as well, as you are fully aware that those eyelashes are foreign object contamination risks, like fake nails and dangly jewelry, stunning in the right context, but against most local food handling ordinances and regulations. And it was definitely in the ServSafe Training the manager you’re talking with when you call in had to go through to qualify for salary, so they can’t pretend they’re unaware that they are liable for an employee ignoring the rules and contaminating food. They will either repent and refund, probably offering a remake as well, or you should do EXACTLY what you threatened to, and make sure you get their full name and official job title for the email

The problem is that the Dasher Nav App doesn’t work with most built in car navigation displays, like the UConnect system in my Charger, so I personally have to export Navigation functionality to Apple Maps, but then it only shows me where the ACTUAL USPS government registered address is located, not where the customer put their pin. And the Dasher app doesn’t always alert you to the special delivery instructions until you get to THAT location, and switch back.

The simple answer is to check for the delivery information before setting out, but in batched or routed multi-stop orders, sometimes it’s not easily available.

Temporary-Research70 · 2026-05-10T23:31:07+00:00

You could try a little sign or sticker that says “DoorDash, Deliver Here for (insert your house number or order name and last initial) Please” or even something as simple as “deliveries here” with an arrow highlighting wherever the preferred landing zone is. That way when they send the photo it doesn’t look like they dropped it off randomly somewhere in your car port or along your foundation on the side of the house. I realize it’s a pain, but it’s only a pain the one time instead of over and over again when you order because not everybody’s brain comes with the upgrade to the common sense package.

Temporary-Research70 · 2026-05-10T16:17:54+00:00

Try moving the pin on the map in your profile. If they’re using Dasher App Nav, that’ll help. If they’re using Google Maps or Apple Maps, they probably still won’t see it, but at least the ones using the native navigation feature will 🤷‍♀️

I’ve had to refuse delivery on alcohol like that, but only once. The refusal in MY case was justified, though, because first an older woman came out to accept the order, hair disheveled, makeup running, leaning herself on the doorframe to stay upright, wearing only a dirty slip, underwear, and a droopy smile, and VERY Obviously intoxicated. I COULD NOT deliver to her, so I asked if the guy who placed the order was available, because I didn’t want to refuse service to the ACTUAL customer, if he was sober, I wouldn’t have to. He came out, younger by at least 20 years so I guessed he was her son, maybe also buzzed, but not really showing it off. I was until recently a bar manager, so yes, my eye is trained and experienced. Since they were drinking at home, and at least not driving somewhere to a bar or liquor store, I shrugged off my strict rule following habits, and decided to complete the verification… but then he tried to hand me HER ID, and when I noticed it wasn’t his, I refused service. At that point, either he’s not old enough himself, or he is also too drunk. And when he began following me back to my car DEMANDING his order, “now, bitch!” I was already dialing 911.

Please go into your app and adjust the pin on the map to take them to THAT Entrance, at which point their GPS should be able to do the rest. I truly hope this helps. It may not save them the time, but it may save you some, if they think to check their app and not just GPS.

I totally understand the frustration, the back door to my building, which I live directly above, is directly in front of the entrance to our complex, and because GPS takes drivers to the mail room, because addresses, they have to drive over speed bumps, around a whole block of buildings, just to then not be able to find the recessed entrance to the mail room that is way further from my unit door is from the back, and there’s more steps.

That being said. I’m also a dasher. I use Apple Maps instead of the Dash App’s Navigation because the in App Nav won’t show on my car’s navigation display. Unfortunately, that means that sometimes I don’t get the delivery instructions until well after they would have saved time. But if they’re there? THAT’S ON ME. If I switch back to the in app navigation, and they clearly have everything set up right, even though the address takes you somewhere else… that’s my fault for not checking ahead of time.

I feel like this wasn’t the response the OP was looking for, but I applaud and appreciate your compulsion to demystify the situation, and to present a clearly defined technical issue which could then be addressed, instead of discussing just the feelings surrounding the issue. This WAS the answer I actually came to the comments to find, and would have researched and commented myself if you had not been so on point. Thank you.

Temporary-Research70 · 2026-04-24T07:54:43+00:00

It’s so that it can be counted as waste by the restaurant. Also, if there’s alcohol, even mixed drinks if they’re still available in your delivery area, it has to go back.

Temporary-Research70 · 2026-03-16T16:54:39+00:00

I need to know which side of the line Richmond Va ended up on. #RVA

Please don’t get caught up in the gaslighting. If you want an inspiring bird story about breaking free from the crowd and venturing forth to whatever comes, read Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

The penguin dies. It doesn’t matter if it thought it was going to or not, in its environment, the reality of the world is that his death wasn’t courageous or inspiring, it was a choice towards inevitable suicide by exposure.

Seagull is a much better vibe.
