Gig work is tipped work. If they don’t tip, the driver worked for free.

The gig company “pays” the drivers a pittance, but it largely just covers a portion of the owner-operator’s expenses. 100% of the net profit comes from tips.

There are a handful of municipalities with unique laws which do not fit this model; but outside of those areas, that is straight up how it works.

Now, should the driver be reckless? No, that should be reported. But stiffing them won’t change anything.

Was it not gagh blood?

.su is literally the reason that the more stringent rules now exist. They won’t let it happen again.

de·vice

noun

a thing made or adapted for a particular purpose, especially a piece of mechanical or electronic equipment.

Sounds like the correct word to me. You don’t just walk into the store and buy an IED.

One of the law enforcement officials with knowledge of the markings said that all three devices were sent to the terrorist explosive device analytical center in Huntsville, Ala.

The events of Prodigy largely involved wormholes across spacetime in one universe (and incursions into that universe by bad guys).

The quantum fissures in Lower Decks are connected to other universes. While this season of Lower Decks does canonically occur in the same time period as season 2 of Prodigy, I doubt the two are related.

That said, with the specific call-out, I definitely see them having some significance later in the season.

I was more surprised that the crew of the other Cerritos weren’t responsible for opening the fissure in the first place. The setup felt like it was leading toward a reveal that Captain Becky’s crew had ulterior motives.

It was a bit disappointing that the twist only turned out to be Captain Becky opportunistically trying to swap universes. I was expecting something more like Stargate SG-1 9x13 (Ripple Effect) wherein an alternate-reality SG-1 is after me Lucky Charms a ZPM.

What is it?

Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday. Today it is Friday, Friday!

Banning CFCs went pretty well too

They sign up for an account as a customer, and they order something really cheap, e.g. a salt packet from McDonald’s or a sauce packet from Taco Bell.Then when a Dasher accepts the delivery offer, they call the Dasher.

DoorDash masks phone numbers on both ends by proxying through their own phone bank. So when they call the unsuspecting Dasher, the caller ID on the Dasher’s end says “DoorDash.”

Then they impersonate Dasher support. They claim to the Dasher that the order they are attempting to pick up was placed fraudulently and will need to be cancelled. They claim that the Dasher will still be paid for their trouble but that they will need to check their text messages for a link.

Then they use the link to phish the Dasher’s account credentials. And they instruct the Dasher to forward their 2FA code as well, despite the text message literally saying that nobody will ever ask for that code.

It’s been happening for years. New Dashers fall for it all the time.

It says they also fraudulently created new accounts as well. They likely turned around and “rented” those accounts out to additional victims. There is a black market for account rentals for those who, for whatever reason (e.g. background check, driving record, citizenship status) can’t be approved for one on their own.

All of them.

I’m sorry.

*ahem* that’s Captain Tuvix

What was it they said back then? They’re from the South or some such?

I would like to second this, particularly the line “through a slightly O’Brien-esque process.”

😭😭😭

Damn. Maybe I’m not as useless as I thought I was.

OP used the title from the article. Is that not convention?

He also launched it from a space station.

In my area, Walgreens always seems empty, their prices are super high, and their pharmacists seem ready to quit.

If your area is literally anywhere within the continental US then that checks out.

That depends. What do you wish to achieve by doing so?

As long as you aren’t in this situation…

In July 2022, the man phoned her on Instagram, according to a Seattle Police Department report and screenshots D.W. provided to Reuters.

“This is your Uncle Eugene,” he said, according to her account to police. He was the husband of her mother’s sister. “I don’t see you as my niece, I see you as a woman,” she recalled him saying. “Please don’t tell your auntie.”

She couldn’t believe it, she told Reuters. “I screamed and I was like, ‘How could you do this to me?’” He responded, “I’m sorry, I’m a sick person.”
