Many restaurants do this already. However, its a lot of overhead to synchronize menus between a restaurant and the marketplace apps. Raising prices to make up for commissions means making prices higher on every item and choice. Then there a

I think about it like this — if I ask a question, someone needs to be interrupted to make that happen. Even if they were on slack anyway, or between tasks, if it’s not something they are otherwise working on, it may take them off their task

Another ADDer here. I have two modes of operation: hyper focused or not. Things that require focus, like deep reading mean I need to switch operating modes. I have oodles of ways to address this issue so I only chose a few. Maybe one helps.

My kids district is doing well all things considering. I look forward to things settling in and becoming more consistent. For the most part it is google classroom assignments. No lessons or zoom sessions. No one on ones with teachers to con

Hubby and I own a coffee shop. We closed up on Monday. We have cash reserves to pay our staff and rent for a month (As if they are still working). Praying we’ll be able to increase online bean sales to cover payroll before then.

From what I read, the coronavirus reduces lymphocytes and that is what ultimately causes the serious symptoms. For people who can keep their white counts up, they don’t get so sick. Edit: my thought is that maybe they could use blood counts

ive tried several times and cannot seem to comment. I think that speaks more to the impact of miscarriage than my words could. I’ve had 5. They’ve all been different. You are a mother the moment you are pregnant regardless of how long. Ther

Some of the most positive people I’ve met have lived in the worst of circumstances. The mind decides what it wants about the situation. Optimism is a powerful tool, even if only the person using it can feel the difference.

Why can’t there be an independent party with top secret clearance do a code inspection and see if the hypothetical theory holds water? It seems like there should be a way to testify about it without compromising secrets.

I really love Azure, but not so much for hobby projects. If you want ssl on an app service, you’ll need at least the basic tier which starts at about $50/month. How does that make sense?

This. Developers are a very powerful party, but completely unorganized. Everything relies on software and not everyone can build it. We make things that make the world better, but we also make things that make the world a lot worse. If we c

What qualifies a sentiment as “anti-vaccine?” Not sure why this is downvoted. I’m genuinely curious. The perspective that having a sentiment puts someone into a group is one I haven’t considered and I would like to understand it more.
