If they ever get this perfected, the next step would be to deal with the inevitable "you actually have the wrong department. Please hold while I transfer you to some other asshole".

I've been trying, but for some reason, it will not recognize my HD. I'be reformatted my drive...tried different drives...I don't know what else to do.

I haven't done any Uber driving for quite some time and never did DoorDash at all, so keep in mind this information may not be valid...

From what I could see, Uber never took a cut of the tip, so app vs cash shouldn't matter...but...I would still prefer cash, because I wouldn't be surprised at all if Uber did, in fact, take a cut. Though more importantly, just make sure you tip one way or another. There was something clearly faulty with how Uber calculated their fees for food as opposed to passengers. I did a few Uber Eats deliveries, but turned it off once I saw how little it paid. $2-4 for 30-40 minutes was ridiculous, and it only gets worse if you have any problems (food wasn't ready...or the customer has you bring it to their door which could be on the 8th floor of their apt building...oh, and you can't park at the apt building without being a resident...or maybe the Uber Eats driver before you grabbed your order). I strongly discourage using Uber Eats unless you're prepared to tip very, very well. Uber is barely paying them. I was only occasionally driving for Uber for extra cash around my full-time job, but there are people that are taking every ride that comes up because it's their only income. Until compensation in the food service industry is fundamentally reworked, always tip well.

Probably because of the amount of money they receive. If I understand correctly, they're set to receive billions of dollars a year through 2028 because of a commitment made by Obama. The US military has its hands in everything and spends money anywhere, buy I think it's always been disproportionately generous with Israel, and in spite of war crimes it's committed.

I'd say that's mainly a consequence of needing to produce so many episodes per season, not an indication that there were no stories left for the characters.

Yet? How would one turn into a boomer?

Not exactly a cancelation, but Star Trek TNG. All of the characters were far more developed than TOS's, which is why they didn't work as well in movies. Better for them to have their own episodes than to unsuccessfully have them share a movie. Any of them could have been just as good, if not better, as multi-part episodes.

Didn't say it was hard. To be clear...by saying "well enough," I mean that I don't have any major problems with it...I'm just no expert. I find that there are two many pointless "utilities" that only slow the machine down. Both of my last two (brand new) computers have had both Windows and Ubuntu installed before adding anything else. There's actually still nothing on the Windows partitions, but whenever I switch to it, it's like switching from a car to a bicycle. It's ridiculous how Windows can be so, so slow "right out of the box," while Ubuntu just works.

I can navigate Windows well enough for my job, but I'd never choose it for personal use. I'm no Linux expert, but I haven't yet been faced with a problem I couldn't solve.
