> How is it different than customers driving to the restaurant? Are you suggesting that there should be less restaurants, or people should use public transport to pick up food?

When you go to sit down for a meal, do you double park your car, and put the hazard lights on?

And there it is. Exactly what I was talking about. 2/4 of those are covered by meals on wheels and the other two are just normal things posed as being some sort of huge obstacle.

You will find that people have worked hard and/or had kids for a while now.

And of course, the pizza place down the street does cheaper delivery than uber/insta anyways, but you conveniently ignore that.

Whenever this comes up, I really don't care if there is antitrust or not. Delivery is a luxury service.

Whenever I bring this up, someone always goes "so disabled people should starve"? What did they do before delivery apps? Many restaurants still offer delivery that they do themselves (seriously, look it up). But more importantly, meals on wheels and other services are still a very large, established network.

Anyways, I guess I could be convinced that this is bad for restaurants. But so many restaurants, especially in cities, are offering delivery services where 10 and 20 years ago there were none. And the infrastructure is not set up to handle that.

As a result, city streets are frequently blocked by delivery drivers. I genuinely would love if my city passed a resolution that prevented restaurants within the city center from offering DoorDash/Ubereats unless they had a dedicated parking lot.

I think it might be fake, fyi.

The video doesn't actually show what the post describes. The whole post is also slop language. I feel like this is unsubstantiated bullshit. It might be real, but I highly doubt it.

btw, the idea that the system rng isnt good enough, or "runs out" or whatever, is no longer true on pretty much every modern, widely used os.

btw... im sure there's some legacy rng in windows or some shit that isnt good. read the docs but if it's the blessed system rng, you're probably fine!

although... i suppose if this is news to you (the person reading this), then you probably shouldn't be implementing whatever you are that really requires prng. ask a friend for help. im not trying to be a jerk, i just want to make sure you dont hurt yourself!

In retrospect, I was being needlessly pissy that day. Now that I read it with fresh eyes, I wish that I could amend it.

I don't seem to have that confusion. So, why is that my problem? Also, what they said about fires of either fuel type seems reasonable.

At this point, it seems like you're attacking them out of a minor, localized grudge, more than anything else.

AKA: troll behavior. So, I am choosing to step away. Feel free to have the last word.

> Gasoline and diesel are very different from 'petroleum'.

They are refined from petroleum. I wonder if there is a dialect difference here? Also, you really seem intent on proving someone wrong over a relatively inert statement.

I don't recall saying they weren't. Was there any confusion in our thread about this?

Again, roads and people are different.

> If you're not sure, why the definitely?

They said "I'm not sure" to the road surface question, and "definitely more of a risk to people".

Roads and people are different things.
