i maintain redirects for old URLs for which the content still exists at another address. i've been doing that since i started working on web sites 20-some years ago. not many take the time to do that, but i do. so there's at least a few web sites out there that if you have a 20 year old bookmark to, chances are it still works.
“To be blunt, the frame rate is atrocious, likely due to the fact that bacteria were never intended to display 3D video games. It takes 70 minutes for the bacteria to illuminate one frame of the game and another eight hours to return to its starting state. This translates to nearly nine hours per frame, which means it would take around 600 years to play display the game from start to finish.”
Living organisms into a monitor… In the same way that a bunch of people in a stadium can hold up squares that make up an image? I mean at the end of the day almost anything can be made into a “monitor”. That doesn’t mean it’s “running DOOM”.
Yeah it’s more like displaying a picture of the doom intro screen rather than actually computing it. Still cool but vastly different than computing the drawing functionality of the game.
The title is misleading and the article even points it out. She is displaying Doom (which is still cool and kinda fucking crazy) on bacteria. It is not being processed by the bacteria.
This seems like a legal minefield to even attempt. Liquor is often treated differently than beer and wine legally, and the laws are absurdly convoluted and different for each state. I wouldn’t be surprised if the plan was just hoping that state agencies didn’t ask questions.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is partially a response to some states asking if drivers were properly licensed to deliver alcohol.
Here in Australia Uber and doordash both have alcohol deliveries and grocery deliveries. The core business is food. Recently I’ve noticed doordash offering alcohol too, before you’ve completed a food order. A second order for free, made at the same time. They had already offered a top up double dash, after you ordered. They’re cutting one step.
The one time I’ve had an alcohol delivery come up, it was a case of beer from Walgreens at like 9 pm. I got there and the store was uncharactrtistically closed. I can only imagine how pissed they were finding that out.
I get them all the time for Meijers and a local bar/liquor store. One restaurant still sells margaritas in plastic cups, “sealed” with just a paper tape. I’m not completely sure that’s legal, but I look forward to the GoFundMe for my legal fees and living expenses if and when I get arrested for it.
I’ve been left with 4 bottles of champagne, a bottle of prosecco, 3 cases of beer, and a box of wine in the past year, where the customer just didn’t want to answer the door.
NAL, but it would appear in most places in the great nation of America, any tape on a lidded plastic cup is a sufficient seal to defeat an open container citation (appears to be similarly treated as wine bottles that have paper/label seals) and it appears more than half the union offers drive up liquor sales in additions to NOLA’s famous drive thru margaritas source: (motorbiscuit.com/margarita-madness-states-offer-d…).

I don’t think that’s as big of a problem as you’re acting like. For example, people who are already drunk or at least too drunk to drive are a great market to exploit with a delivery app. Hell, you can even tell yourself it’s a public service to keep them off the road, right?
To me the bigger problems seem like legal liabilities from being so obviously easy to abuse by minors and the fact that no one seems to have heard of them.
and the fact that no one seems to have heard of them.
this is it right here. Also, there’s a case to be made for large parties running out of booze. (poor neighbors.) but the reality is those circumstances just don’t make sense to build a business around. especially considering many liquor stores are getting in on the act.
In my experience, it’s not a “show ID to the guy and he says okay” it’s “the guy is obligated to scan your ID into the doordash/Uber app to verify age”. They can’t opt to not check without getting dinged pretty heavily by Uber/doordash.
A big global crisis is coming. And not just a crisis, would be so hard that governments will need to restructure economics and financial systems and be more open and less aggressive. The only way would be stop being at the side of corporations if they want to survive the crisis. Taxes over population would need to be rethink.
