Former Dominos manager here. As another user said, distance is part of it.

Places usually don't deliver outside of a certain distance for a couple of reasons, proximity to sister chains (one Dominos can't deliver to another Dominos area), and delivery time. The further the customer is the longer it takes to get the food to the customer, and to get back and deliver more.

Another reason is particular area. At my Dominos we had a 'do not deliver' list. These were neighborhoods or parts of the city where there's reason to not send drivers there for their safety. The projects/ghettos/whatever term you like, and other general areas where drivers have been robbed/threatened/etc. I heard one story about before I worked there, one of the drivers was held hostage.

Door Dash or similar may not care about those things for XYZ reason, and send their drivers there anyway.

Holy shit I didn't even pay attention to that. I used to have a book on dolphins when I was little, and I remember at least one black and white dolphin--maybe two--but the one I remember had a yellow stripe on the border between white and black. ๐Ÿค”

Only if you actually burn it. Like with a fire.

This guy over here hesitating but I'm already on the kiddy ride.

Not arguing, but I don't think I've ever even seen a plastic one. Mine has a plastic lid, but the inside is still sheet metal. I can't even imagine one with plastic parts that aren't just cosmetic. Plus they've got to adhere to some kind of safety regulations lest they be penalized by some federal agency. ๐Ÿค”

This! But mine is just a pitcher with a filter in the lid. Stick it in the fridge to keep cool, use it to fill backup bottles.

Are we both thinking the same kind of kettle or is it British/American English different? What I'm talking about is a pitcher with an electric heating unit in the bottom?

They'd be inbred. The venn diagram of ICE agents and sibling fuckers is a circle.

I started with a Nelko one for $20-ish, but they have a free/paid system where you don't get all the stickers/fonts unless you pay a yearly fee. Next one I'm looking at is this one that specifically advertises no mtx.

Ultimately the main thing you want is a laser printer with thermal paper. Won't print in color, but it's much less hassle without ink carts and the only thing you'll need to replace is sticker rolls.

Electric kettle. Fast at boiling water, especially if your stove heats slowly. Great for things like tea or instant noodles/lunches.

Portable Bluetooth label maker. Not a necessity, but you can use it outside of typical application for lots of fun things!

Somebody park like an asshole? Leave a fun message for them!

Got something you want to personalize? Custom stickers of whatever you want!

Wanna leave memes around in public for people to find? You already have templates saved!

Want to advertise yourself or someone/something else? Boom, instant QR codes.

I've been having fun with the mini I originally got for work, about to buy one that prints larger labels.

I guess if pizza is a vegetable, bread can be cake too I suppose.

 

Title. There's a bunch of users that I want to block because their content isn't what I expect from the community, but to block them would basically block their moderated communities too (I think? Correct me if wrong) and that would slowly reduce my feed to nothing.

Thoughts?

User below helped me solve it, the movie is Shark Hunter (2001). Neat movie about a kid whose parents died when a science vessel sank under mysterious circumstances. After growing up and learning about marine biology and such, he gets recruited to explore the wreckage with a team that discovers the ship and his parents were attacked by a megalodon.


Disclaimer: I know it's not Deep Blue Sea (1999). I also didn't see the beginning of the movie, and only remember parts near the end.

So the movie is about a team of researchers on a massive submarine or something similar in the deep ocean. They get attacked by sharks that are larger than average, and aggressive to the vessel. There's a moon pool big enough for a mini-sub to dock in.

A character supervising the moon pool walks onto a diving board and lays down on it to get a better view of something he sees. After laying down, one of the large sharks jumps up through the moon pool, taking the man and diving board in one bite before sinking back into the water.

Some details escape me, but the last 2 remaining characters hatch a plan, one escapes in a mini-sub while the other stays behind to kill the sharks by self-destroying the main sub. After the main sub explodes, killing the sharks, the person in the mini sub powers on their lights, only to discover an even bigger shark before arming their own self-destruct, before the movie ends.

At first I thought this might be one of The Meg movies, but I'm not sure those are correct. As I said, the moon pool scene is notably different than the one in Deep Blue Sea. I'm at a loss. I want to say it was on SciFi channel or maybe FX, but this was several years ago so I'm not sure.

 

When on Voyager I'm unable to create new posts/comments, nor can I see my own inbox/profile history. At first I thought I caught a ban, because I can do all of these things on a separate instance account (made at .world for testing) through Voyager. However, after more testing, I'm able to post/comment through Firefox on the original account, so it's not an 'access revoked' issue. Anyone else having this problem? This is the original account, for reference.

 

I keep seeing ZippyBot post articles in incorrect communities just because a website is named poorly. Most recent example is a post in 'gaming' that's about a TV series, and not even about a game adaptation, but about t-shirts.

I went to go and block ZippySlop and wouldn't you know it? You can't ban 'admins.' ZippySlop posts to a wide array of communities that I do otherwise like, and the only other option besides blocking Zippy is to block all of those respective communities.

As that would be time consuming and detrimental to engagement of topics, why can't I block ZippyBot. Before anyone sneers 'cuz itz a admin bruh,' Why is a bot even an admin anyway?!

 

I've seen headlines this week about Olympic skiers and the dangers of a bigger bulge/cup or something?

 

Planning on watching the new Superman movie tonight and Amazon has a 'bonus x-ray edition' but no details besides having the same runtime. Anyone able to explain the difference? Is it behind-the-scenes, or same movie with extra x-ray effects, or what?

 

Obviously all theoretical. Unless...

The following assumes that they're tiny humanoids with wings and no magic spells/powers.

What would you say the size range is for our tiny winged beings? I often imagine incredibly small, like AA battery size. Then my brain makes like a runaway train, thinking about things like logistics and plausibility (I know they're fictional magic beings but that's the runaway train part).

Once I get into that mode, I start imagining them bigger, to an extent. As big as a futbol, usually. All the various children's stories have them anywhere from palm-sized to as small as bugs.

I guess for imagery sake, imagine you had a roommate that was one, so you have to take their size into account for things like cooking and cleaning. What chores would be exclusive to each person based on size? Would they be able to lift/carry human-size objects?
