Coscto: You must order at least $35 worth of products to get same-day delivery of fresh and frozen foods.
NobodysHome: Hold my beer.
EDIT: And THAT's the great thing about online ordering...

Coincidentally, that's also why I'm not allowed in Costco anymore.
LOL. I posted in the thread, but I have no idea where the heck it is.
Ah, well, I'll just miss the inevitable flaming that I get.
Whee?
I feel like I missed something.

Jason will take a healthy dose of scotch and dig into the posts. While he has his light hearted moments, I expect a tolerate no fools battering ram on this topic.
As I fear DC will not happen, I will have to toast him from afar rather than at the gaming table.
I wonder if I can amazon scotch to his house...

LM, do you mind if I borrow some cookies to give to Amby?New mower (a high schooler): Who's the girl?
High Schooler I trained the last two years: That's Yesterday's daughter, I'd stay away

High Schooler I trained: He's basically Bruce Lee with an axe
New mower: Oh, I see.
Entirely Fictional Dude #1: "Whoa dude, like, have you ever seen Jackie Chan fight using a ladder?"

Before the shutdown this spring, when the construction on our new middle school building started at my school, a coworker and I were watching the construction workers maneuver a couple of bobcats through the trees at what was, for them, probably an impressive pace.
Coworker: WOW. That's some skill.Me: Meh. I've got a friend who can shave an angry bear with one of those.
Coworker: ...

I should really consider getting a better computer to play them - while only minority of those are unplayable, shortening of loading times and smoothing the gameplay would help with some that I could play but I don't have patience for.

I am afraid I may have instigated an InstaCart driver riot.
(1) We have not been to Costco in 3 months, so the list of our "essentials" was massive (49 separate items we need refills on). As a result, it was our single-most-expensive Costco purchase ever, not including appliance or furniture purchases.
(2) If a delivery service pays its drivers through tips, I know it's screwing them over, so I refuse to tip the drivers less than 15% of the total bill on principle.
As a result, there is an order with a triple-digit tip and instructions to "just dump it all in my driveway" sitting at the Richmond Costco.
I suspect that will be a desirable order to fulfill. Other than the 200+ pounds of stuff they'll have to lug.
EDIT: And there you have it. It went from, "Your order might be ready as early as noon tomorrow" to "xxx is shopping your order right now" in the time it took to post this.
Gee... treating people as decent human beings who deserve a living wage gets them to go the extra mile for you. What a concept! :-O

If it makes you feel any better, I spent hours yesterday reading about the Nuclear Shell Model and trying (and failing) to reconcile it with some kind of Aufbau Diagram.OMFG, WW is leveling up his PC and he's been sitting here trying to choose his one new Feat for over a flipping hour.
W.T.A.F.
Success! Sort of. There is a pattern to proton/neutron shells, but the subshells throw a wrench into it. There seems to be disagreement on how the subshells are ordered, so trying to incorporate subshells into my diagram has been...frustrating.

Eve's MBA graduation is in two weeks.
I cannot put into words how incredibly proud I am of her... as a single mom, on public assistance, she requested a formal hearing to get a one-year MBA intensive program to qualify for the "up to one year of education for job training purposes", because her BFA was in acting performance, and other than acting/modeling/singing, the rest of her resume is bartending/nightclub management... none of which are great career choices for a single parent.
And the only way she could do it in one year was to take 12-15 hours *every quarter*, including summer sessions. And she stayed clean throughout the pressure. Not always sober, but clean.
Considering that ten years ago, Mom and I were bracing ourselves for the likelihood that she wouldn't make it to forty, this is huge.

Ok, I’m not “Freehold Pissed”, but when I looked up InstaCart to see whether or not to do business with them, the first few posts were about buyers promising big tips to get faster service and then withdrawing them once the food was delivered. So:
1) InstaCart had a 30% markup over Costco prices. Now I know. And I’m sure the drivers see almost none of that. So no, InstaCart, I won’t be using you again because your markup is too high. 10-15% gives you a decent margin. 30% is just too steep.
2) The FIRST thing out of the driver’s mouth was, “Please don’t cut my tip!” Seriously? It’s THAT endemic? People really are scum. When I told her the tip was honest, she did a little dance. It was cute, but depressing.
EDIT: OK, the InstaCart markup was 19.4%. But considering that it was for sending her a shopping list, it's still too steep for them.

It is THAT BAD, our neighbor drives for them and the stories she's told us about tip scamming are astounding.

That is shady. I am increasing the default tips on every delivery service I use these days. But I shouldn’t be surprised people are scummy.

Paizo always remove posts that quote posts that removed during moderation, no matter the number of nesting - I think that happens even if you only quoted innocent parts. (I am not sure if it is matter of the engine used or simply a matter or policy - there might have been cases of posts being overlooked removed later)
I don't remember if Freehold's post was containing quotes - it might be what caused their removal too.
Seems that Gorbacz's posts were scoured from the thread. IIRC most of them, if not all contained quotes answering to, well, less than progressive folks.

My post still stands, and he made an amusing post quoting mine about misreading my post. As the OP, I found his response funny and light-hearted. I cannot think that someone thought it offensive, but what do I know?

I'm pretty sure, "Remove all Gorbacz's posts," is pretty much S.O.P. every time a thread gets locked. :-P
