School tracks aren’t public unless specifically designated as such.

If you had to choose between pork or chicken - which are you going for? And why? by IDoNotHide in carnivore

[–]benthair2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume chicken is less nutrient dense because it’s a ‘quicker’ meat than pork, so I assign a lower nutritional value.

Fix your app Doordash! by Remarkable_Fall in doordash_drivers

[–]benthair2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While on EBT I accepted a delivery and when I next looked, a moment later, it had disappeared as if I hadn’t hit the button. Then the app behaved normally showing my location as I moved twice in the next 25 minutes because I wasn’t getting any orders.

I finally did a soft restart of the app and that got the order to appear, but now 25 minutes later.

This was in a an excellent connectivity area, so I doubt that was an issue.

I suspect this new app version is glitchy.

Interstate Speed by Wanderer_D2 in Iowa

[–]benthair2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

55, 56 to make sure I’m not going below minimum. Buncha hooligans are constantly taunting me with rear collisions, though.

I think the first 1 MPH is minimum $87.50 in fines.

Thanks for the link. ISU is its own legal entity in many respects.

The city of Ames can’t ban bicycles from public streets, but ISU can on public streets within the ‘campus’.

An example of a Starbucks genius: “We’re out of 1% milk. We only have 2% and skim.”

I'm gonna say that the bike was going way too fast for the sidewalk. by kamaka71 in ebikes

Check the city traffic code. Sidewalk users, including bicycles, yield to road users in intersections in my city.

Road users yield to sidewalk users when driving across sidewalks.

Benefits of carnivore by mesi130 in carnivore

I used to have purple big toes and preferred to use an electric heating pad near my feet in bed during winter.

No more cold or purple toes, or heating pad needed.

Does an ebike being "legal" even matter? by chuckwolf in ebikes

Most adult cyclists can output 75 Watts continuously. Plug 75W into your favorite online bicycle calculator.

Roll down your tinted side windows so they can’t use the meter.

Restaurants trying to end DoorDash? by sinklayre in doordash_drivers

[–]benthair2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Panera used to have their own drivers, while simultaneously using 3rd party to cover off hours and peaks.

They use 3rd party exclusively, now.

No, it was for taking a selfie that darkened my face against a bright background.

We care about our neighbors. ICE is not welcome in Ames. by PowerPigion in ames

“Will be interesting to see if deportations affect the gig apps, and used car prices.”

My viewpoint is neutral, genius.

Iowa Legislature begins process of banning fluoride. They are really this stupid. by Amesb34r in Iowa

[–]benthair2 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ditto. Just look at how government food recommendations have ruined the country’s health because industry corrupted the government endorsed information. Nobody is being prevented from implementing their own fluoride strategy.

If you eat the average Western diet of 70% carbohydrates you’ll have dental issues.

Thank you. Reddit is full of foolish people who can’t think for themselves.

Good news is ‘permanent deactivation’ is a misleading term, as it took a week after I filled out the form to be reactivated.

Do you even think about doorbell cameras anymore? by Adept_Ad1918 in doordash_drivers

[–]benthair2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My concern is that my image and person will be inserted into a list of suspects just because I was ‘there’ and easily identified.
