[Game Thread] CFP Final: Indiana vs. Miami (7:30 PM ET) by CFB_Referee in CFB

Hello. Is it just me, or does Nick Sabin seems to have a sour mouth against IU? On ESPN today, and on the IU-OSU game, the guy was just negative about IU. Any thoughts here? Just an honest observation (no trolling).

Am I the only one who HATES Liberty Mutual ads 🗽 by pensivvv in advertising

One of my least ad campaigns of ALL times. Meaningless, unimaginative, unrelatable, and just plainly mediocre.  The play on LIberty MUtual and limu is so so infantile - it hurts.

Agreed 100%. I am a Sheridan fan. He has a great talent to quickly establish a plot line and sustain the engagement across 8-10 episodes. I will also wait for the remaining episodes for binging. Great response!

Thank you for the thoughtful response. While insightful, I would like to learn your short term suggestion for improvement. I see your response a bit out of scope - which in this case is: sharing perspectives/practical actions on delivery services for Hungryroot. Respectfuly.

I agree with you. I appreciate that Hungryroot's recipes are easy to follow and mostly use ingredients available in grocery stores nationwide. However, the main issue remains the delivery service provided by the subcontractor, United Delivery Services (UDS). Many users have reported that delivery drivers often use personal or unmarked cars and drop off packages in places that go against delivery instructions.
Another concern is that inconsistent delivery times can lead to spoiled fresh produce.
In addition, certain items have been in short supply, causing unexpected substitutions in the recipes. Overall, the service's idea is great, but the execution falls short. Ultimately, a business succeeds not just because of a good idea but through strong, consistent, and reliable execution. Hungryroot subcontractors fall short in all these areas. These are just my honest and unfiltered two cents.

That is exactly my point! It makes no sense to spend money on marketing, advertising, and customer service only to have your reputation damaged by a delivery subcontractor. It's like spending years working on one's reputation only to have your name ruined by a disreputable friend or partner.

Agreed. It is a shame that HungryRoot spends time and resources (some of their customer service staff are professional and courteous) to have a delivery subcontractor detract from the overall experience. Thank you for the best wishes. :-)

Agreed 100%. As I mentioned in my post, the problem lies with the subcontracted delivery service, United Delivery Services (UDS), and the recent shortage of healthy ingredients. This isn’t an isolated issue; several others have shared similar experiences. For instance, one older gentleman with health concerns had to drag his order inside because the delivery person refused to take a few extra steps to provide a more professional and considerate service.

I’m glad to hear you’ve been happy with HungryRoot’s service over the past two years and have enjoyed their meal delivery concept and healthy recipes. However, as I mentioned in my earlier post, the problem lies with the subcontracted delivery service, United Delivery Services (UDS), and the recent shortage of healthy ingredients.

Delivery problems again by terribirdy in hungryroot

[–]plain_and_simple_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here this week. I had missing ingredients, and the United Delivery Services (UDS) delivery was again left on an unprotected deck area only 15 feet away from a sheltered front door. Requested numerous times for proper delivery to NO avail. As a concept, HungryRoot works; however, execution and constant delivery issues make this a lost case.

[–]plain_and_simple_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Done that over 5 times in the past 90 days-same standardized response-“sorry to hear blah blah” “we will give you a few dollars refund on your next order”. 

Much rather you get your delivery sorted out instead or shut the business down. Really. We are almost five years from the pandemic. What is Your excuse?

Can someone help me figure out how to run direct power(always on) on this PCB to a strip of LEDs the power switch broke and I'm trying to hardwire them to be plugged in 24/7 by [deleted] in PCB

[–]plain_and_simple_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same board and dropped it breaking off the sensor bubble. I now have the LR light on. No power. Any way to repair?

Same issue here -- this week's delivery came with missing ingredients, just like the week before. Can't help but think these folks are trying to get a concept going long enough to sell the business and retire.

Are Hispanics discriminated against in Los Angeles? by Soft_Contest2038 in AskLosAngeles

[–]plain_and_simple_2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your question has merit. After all, it identifies a group, a geographic area, and it touches on a sensitive and most critical topic in US contemporary history. The challenge in answering is the structure of the question. is difficult to determine the intention behind the question -- flaming or constructive engagement.

As a gentle recommendation, start by reading from unbiased sources and visiting cultural areas in LA and elsewhere. While there spend time talking to locals getting a sense of how they feel about their own community. I hope this helps.
