I'm thinking it might be a natural thing for the Doctor. While I wasn't watching for a while, I've caught bits and pieces of the Timeless Child, which IIRC is the Doctor and he's not actually Gallifrean? So maybe things are different for him, plus this explains the Curator and the Renegade Doctor.

I'm thinking Russel did that to address to issues, the curator in the 50th special, and the Renegade Doctor. I know a lot of fans, m'self included, want her to return, but how do you explain her? Well, if the doctor bifurcated... Sorry, bi-generated in the past, willingly or unwillingly, that could mostly explain her, and if 14 and 15 are running around at the same time, no reason she can't either. Thinking about the curator, that might even explain why Russell brought Tennent back.

I thought it was hilarious that they split 14's outfit, they each got four pieces of it

That's a built in sound? How does that work, are you plugged, or is it hollow? Any discomfort or issues with it?

It's called a kilt, and it's called that because that's what happened to the first person what called it a skirt. 😏

Can y'all adopt us couriers?

[–] MrPhibb@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago

Prolly not far off, since these kind of companies are barely a step above a temp agency and workers often get screwed.

[–] MrPhibb@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

That's what I'm thinking

Could always triple boot, use the third to play around to see if'n something else is even better than what you have, or use a container to test run different linuxes... linii? Personally I'm enjoying LMDE, and don't like Gnome either, but that's the great thing about Linux, so many different options.

Unfortunately it's prolly illegal for them to negotiate in good faith. No, really, this post on my Tumblr covers it, but basically companies are legally required to make money for their shareholders above all else: https://www.tumblr.com/vaspider/736766472648605696

Ah, thanks, wasn't sure as they seem to pretty much rule the market

Go ahead, this'll be fun. Let's see, to travel out of your country, you'll need a passport, and for that to be accepted, you'll need a treaty in place Sure, you've got oil, but you basically need to be part of OPEC to sell it, and they decide price and volume. To ship anything you produce, you need treaties in place

Yep, let's see how this goes.

 

Might start doing these every week, or might do them monthly, but let's start the new month with the end of last month.

So nothing of note this week, at least not on paper. I don't include the home trip in my mileage, as the app is only paying me to go to a place to pickup, and then one or more drop offs, getting home is my problem. That said, I do keep it in the back of my mind, and it will be effecting things after this week. That Amazon looks great until you realize it ended in New Athens IL which is 50 miles from home. Yeah, ouch. And it's not like the one before was any better, didn't end quite as far from home, but close, and more importantly, it was far from the warehouse (Sauget IL), starting in Chesterfield. Better Trucks has cut their rates slightly, I'd say it's down about 20¢/mi, but as you can see without the trip home figured in, it's still around 1.50$/mi, and if I put in the home trip, it'd still stay above 1$/mi most of the time. For the first time in a while I didn't pick up a second route on Tues, they actually had enough drivers. I may be somewhat responsible for that, as I've been putting out the word about them as a good alternative to Flex, especially if'n you live up in my neck of the woods. The surprise was Roadie, they got Hello Fresh around a month ago, and I haven't done them because the warehouse is 25 or so miles from home. However, I ended BT on the east side of Sappington, and the warehouse is on the west side, maybe 5 miles, prolly less, and most of those miles I was going to drive anyhow as I needed to go to I270 to get home which is about ¾ of the distance, so not like it added much. Oh, and the route was in Des Peres, 5 miles or so north, or in other words, 5 miles closer to home. That was so worth it, as you can see from the PPM, 2.29$/mi and well over 1.50$/mi with the trip home. I'll be doing these in the future if'n the opportunity arises, that's for sure.

So, what's coming this week is one last Amazon Flex, as they're really not worth the bother, however I can't do BT Friday as we have an electrical inspection from the county on Friday. Starting next week, it'll be BT four days a week and four or five routes. That should give me $400 to $500 a week, maybe a touch more, along with possibly picking up a little more work from Roadie or one of my other apps.

 

So, got done with my Better Trucks, and found m'self in Sappington. Þis is bad, because þat's around 25 miles from home, so imagine my happiness at seeing Hello Fresh on Roadie. Hello Fresh is like 5 miles from where I was, or someþing like þat, and þey were offering $45 for 16 miles. Wow, sounds good, won't get me home, but it'll certainly cover gas. Was it perfect? Nope, þere were a bunch of app problems, I was supposed to get two routes, but one got taken away because... Well, dunno. And þat's ignoring the check in problems as þe location is pinned wrong. Still, despite þose, it was surprisingly good paying for Roadie, stupidly easy to do, at least half of þe driving was from warehouse to first stop.

I definitely recommend taking þese if'n you get þe chance.

 

I might've shared this one already, but it didn't seem quite the same

 

I'm not entirely against disenfranchising felons, however if'n you're going to do that, you shouldn't be counting them as part of the voting age population.
