depending on your area, more and more transit organizations are publishing their routes using General Transit Feed Spec (GTFS). since the routes and schedules don't change often (a few times a year at most) you can grab the archive and do your route planning offline. Im not sure about any apps that do long distance multimodal planning, or airlines that publish those datasets, but my homeassistant instance shows me next scheduled times for nearby bus and metro stops completely offline using the dataset. there are tools for completely offline transit routing, too.

FYI as someone who has filled out that form many times as "exempt" I can say no one has ever asked any questions about it. If they did, I'd probably tell them it's none of their business- I'm the one committing the crime if what I'm signing isn't true, and at no point in submitting it are you asked to prove youre exempt (until you file your 1040 the next year, if you file one)

But it's also pretty hard to argue later you must have just "done the math wrong" ’cause there's a whole separate section for declaring youre exempt.

They also still take out social security and medicare.

I started paying for kagi after ddg and qwant and the rest just gave up on searching for what I asked it to search for. "Oh, you searched for more than one word? Well what if I just throw one of them completely away in the name of being able to show you some ads- I mean results"

FYI there is a message on the bboard about webmail login auth changes. (was looking yesterday for anything about the image upload issues)

Sometimes its the only option for a supermarket in a small community (see: Alaska). Smithers has 5300 people, I doubt there's anything but the Safeway.

Oh, it's not the same Safeway anymore. wikipedia says: Safeway (also referred to as Canada Safeway) is a Canadian supermarket chain that operates 135 full-service locations, mostly in the country's Western provinces. It was established in 1929 as a subsidiary of the American Safeway chain before being sold in 2013 to Sobeys, a division of the conglomerate Empire Company and Canada's second-largest supermarket chain.

ed: you asked and I answered before scrolling to see the other "safeway, the american grocery chain?" thread lol

Have you ever worked at a small bakery or cafe? It's basically impossible to know exactly how many customers youre going to have on any given day.

They could always underproduce, sure, but my guess is that then businesses that care about cutting down on waste would lose business to places that regularly overproduce, when customers started choosing the place that was never out of stock of their favorites, or was always offering a wider selection. Underproduction by companies trying to responsibly reduce waste would probably benefit the largest corporations, with their better magins due to economy of scale, who are also more able to lose money in some areas just to drive business to other departments. Maybe that's partially on the customers and their choices, but I think the idea behind this app is a good way to encourage competition, and benefits smaller, more local businesses.

Also this allows places to experiment more. Not sure everyone will enjoy your new recipe? Here's an established way to recoup costs at the end of the day, to at least break even. Bakeries for as long as I can remember have been discounting "day old" product - this app creates a handy centralized maketplace for it. While I'm all for more responsible consumption, what you're advocating for requires not just more responsible businesses, but more responsible consumers to make sacrifices to support them, enough to make up the difference in potential lost business. How many people are going to add an extra stop in their errands to visit a business they know is often or even occassionally out of the product they want, when they know another, more wasteful business always has it available?

I guess I disagree that this app helps businesses "do nothing" about food waste- I see it as a way to help (especially small) businesses throw away less food. Can it be abused; can businesses still wildly overproduce? sure, but many were already doing so before this, and will continue to do so as a matter of caring about maximizing profit. that doesn't take away from the waste the app does help reduce, and the help driving customers to, and breaking even on unsold product it provides small businesses - businesses who are imho more likely than large conglomorates and chains to care about being socially and enviornmentally responsible in other ways, too, not just reducing food waste.

You can get a line of credit from your local bank, tranfser the available funds into your checking account on demand, then use your Interac card. The amount and rates are variable, so you can start with a small amount with a high rate (like starter credit cards), and as you build a reputation, you can be loaned larger amounts at a better rate. No third party credit card company required.

TIL people still run eggdrop bots. I don't think Ive touched one since maybe 2003. was probably the last time I messed with tcl

FYI Spotify says their recommendations take into account how much money they make from you listening to a particular song, and if they make any at all. It may recommend songs based on your listening history, but that's not the only thing picking the songs and deciding what order to suggest them. Their playlists and recommendations are a pay to play system, like commercial radio stations.
