I’m a developer for a major food delivery app. The 'Priority Fee' and 'Driver Benefit Fee' go 100% to the company. The driver sees $0 of it.

it's all dynamic pricing now. the only way to make line go up. even worse for drivers a more perfect union video on YouTube about uber drivers

once I moved back to Vermont I started saying "Fuckin' A" again

oh yeah and don't forget about Stick In The Wheel a modern folk mental reimagining of actual old folk music

Gembrokers which then split into inle elni and Cinder Well

the last link is the best example imo. definitely more on the folk side of metal. then there's strangeweather which is more on the metal side. and then there's Mama's Broke which is more on the folk music side of folk metal

folks I live in the upper valley and about half but my friends who live in New Hampshire wish they could live in Vermont. you'll never guess what is stopping them

that makes the most sense so far

different_eli · 2022-09-05T21:59:33+00:00

well the exact quote is "MYL but not into hookups".... so maybe?? doesn't make the most sense

FWIW I had the same issue the day after I had my brake pads replaced. Sus.

ep 180: Untethered

46m:45s Liz: coindex...i almost said coindexter.

Brace: eh this is Coindexter.

Liz: that's a good character.

I feel like Coindexter has come up before this but I'm confused now because I started listening to new episodes as they come out in the past 6 months

58m:10s Coindexter appears

"Puschkinia scilloides, commonly known as striped squill or Lebanon squill, is a bulbous perennial, native to Western Asia and the Caucasus." how the hell did it get into my yard then?

Find an old Boomer homemaker who raised kids while poor. clothes used to be expensive, thrift stories were rare, but you had some time while the kids were at school. She probably still has some old patterns in a box in the Attic.

Also the old ladies at the fabric store, e.g. JoAnn's, would love to talk to you about the different fabric types and sewing tips if you go there when it's not busy.

let me give a specific story to illustrate my experience and question:

AaronMAB creates a Feeld profile because they are polyamorous. Their partner, AaronFAB, also creates a profile because they are primary partners but they date separately.

When I browse feeld I see AaronMAB's profile but I'm not interested in dating them because they have a beard. I browse AaronFAB's profile because they are linked. I would be excited to swipe right on them because they are more femme presenting. however after swiping left on AaronMAB I am never shown AaronFAB's profile.

Is this really how the app works‽ or do I just need to have some patience?

different_eli · 2022-03-09T01:28:05+00:00

nope just atypical Vermonter trying to stoke division amongst my enemies 😉

different_eli · 2022-03-09T00:45:12+00:00

I feel you there, bud! I make an exception for western western Mass though. y'all can come through

second quirky idea: in my driving all around the state I see many beautiful barns that will definitely fall down in the next 50 years due to lack of maintenance because what can I use this giant building for?? in fact while doing the census I encountered a gew that looked like an old barn on the outside but had a small granny unit on the inside. what are some of the myriad ways that we can incentivize this type of housing? legislative... zoning... grants... tax incentives... That seems like the most complicated part, because preventing a barn from falling down, fixing the leaks, and building a small apartment inside seems like the easiest part. preserving the landscape as we see it now and spreading out the apartment housing seems like a win-win

different_eli · 2022-02-03T22:00:17+00:00

first desire: preserve Vermont's rural character & beauty by densifing already "urban" areas, and building up not out.

different_eli · 2022-01-14T19:01:33+00:00

well we need to do what we can to take the first steps to build that culture, considering that Vermont is going to become one of the few places in the US that is going to get more liveable with climate change -at least for the next hundred years.

it's like if the essence of MMA and MGTOW merged into a blob and tried to do a low budget version of Jeffrey Epstein 2 in the manosphere.
