With services like Uber, DoorDash, Instacart etc, how do the apps give you orders? in c/[email protected]

Damnit, not what I wanted to hear but thank you!

Uber Eats was like that too, and I just worked for them a few weeks ago

So theoretically, if I want to help out my community, I’d have to sit in parking lots at a store?

Lame title but let me explain,

I had Uber eats and was a driver, and I didn’t really like it but at the same time I had applied for Instacart and I’m in the process of signing up for that.

I live in a small town off the #1 in Canada and it takes about 25-30 minutes to get into the city on a good day. My town is also full of elderly, and considering people have to travel so much to get into the city, they make a day out of travelling down there.

I want to advertise the fact that I am an Instacart delivery person who is willing to go into the city to pick up groceries, prescriptions, whatever it may be. So my question is: does Instacart create batches for drivers to pick up in proximity to the store, or proximity to the person?

In other terms, will I need to actually be on the road near these stores for a chance to pick them up? Or can I stay in my home, keep the app running, and check every few minutes to see if anyone from my town requested something?

Passing on the right on a highway in c/[email protected]

Is there a specific reason? Or is it more of a “just because” law?

Why is it illegal to pass someone on the right on the highway in the US? In Canada if there’s a three lane highway which, in my case, isn’t very prominent, there’s really no law that enforces it, it’s more of a respect thing here on two lane highways both ways if someone is going slow in the left lane to go into the right but I’m just curious as to why it’s actually enforced in the US?

So Kissinger must have had use to someone? What did he do right and for who? in c/[email protected]

I don’t even know who that is, and I was surprised to see so many posts seemingly celebrating someone’s death

My province seems to be fine when it comes to the lack of mold on Costco products

My bank (RBC) charges me $2.50 after 10 or so free transactions, doubled if tapped.

I switched to Neo and I love it.

It’s especially bad if you buy from Costco

Google is putting ads in gmail. WTF? in c/[email protected]

Oh? You can set an Authenticator like Microsoft Authenticator for Gmail accounts? I know about those apps I just didn’t know what totp meant

I think I tried that but it defaulted to Gmail, I keep forgetting how to actually change that, or at least make google keep that setting. It took forever for it to click in how to change login settings from pixel to iPhone (you know the google app popping up with the “press yes to authenticate”

The whole process just really confuses me.

Can you give me an example of what really important data could look like?

Genuine question, I don’t work in IT or work with computers very often. I’m tech literate, but the most important thing I really have is my resume and even then I can redo it if I lost it.

Offsite? When I googled that it showed a team retreat planning website. How does that work?

Dumb question,

If you have an external hard drive for your cloud backup data, why use a cloud service?
