That's funny, I've just built the same thing for Asda in the UK https://github.com/markDunne/asdabot

It can search for items, add them to the basket, picks a delivery slot and does the checkout.

With a little more scaffolding in markdown files, this now takes care of my weekly shopping.

I don't have the link, but I also remember reading this story. I tried googling but didn't have any luck either. I just wanted to let you know that you're not misremembering!

Someone with more in depth knowledge can tell me why this isn't a good idea, but I'm pretty sure you can get something very close to this with graphql subscription query against hasura backed with postgres

One factor of this battle against trickle down economics is language. 'Trickle down economics' is term that is intuitive, explains itself well, and is easy to remember. It's a meme in Dawkin's original definition of the word.

The alternative term, 'bubble up economics', needs to the popularised more.

Can I ask how did you safely organise a tour like that without getting scammed/putting yourself in danger? How did you get in contact with your driver?

What do you think is more likely? That there is not a single stream of water hitting it, or there are plenty of fire fighters at the scene you just happen not to have seen any pictures of them?
