Is Uber saying no? Or are drivers cancelling rides when they realize there’s an animal that wasn’t disclosed previously, and they aren’t part of Uber Pets?

Because there’s a distinct difference there.

But it’s up to the driver whether to allow an animal in their personal vehicle.

It’s not about training. People lie, and there is no way to verify service animals. Lying about pets and claiming they are service animals is already an issue for places like restaurants and hotels.

if Uber requires all drivers to allow pets, then so be it. But that’s the only way to ensure consistency.

That does happen, usually that’s more how traditional cabs operate, and even then in many places they own the cab and contract to a company for fares.

The vast majority of rideshare drivers in the US use their own vehicle.

First off, FUCK UBER… but I don’t see Uber being at any sort of fault here unless their policy is no animals, which it obviously isn’t because Uber Pet exists. Only possibly by not routing service animal rides through Uber Pet exclusively since those drivers are already expecting animals.

Do we really want to say that in order to participate in rideshare driving at all that you must allow animals in your private vehicle?

Uber drivers use their own vehicles, they are not Uber’s property or responsibility. If an owner doesn’t want animals in their vehicle, they cannot and should not be forced to. A lot of people don’t want animals in their vehicles, trained or not. They may be worried about damage from things like claws to the fabrics, etc. and don’t want to deal with that possibility, whereas the Uber Pet drivers are prepared for that.

And this doesn’t even get into the bastards that lie about their pets and “emotional support” animals being service animals causing problems for those that actually do need the assistance. There’s no penalty for lying about it, and no verification system to filter those out.

Or you know, you can work to fix the source of some of the existing issues. Like limit the number of single family dwellings a company or corporation can own. Hedge funds and banks shouldn’t be able to hoard houses as real estate. Tax unoccupied housing at a higher rate, increasing based on vacancy time to incentivize usage instead of leaving them empty. Use that increased tax revenue to fund building public housing.

old.reddit also bypasses a lot of the new blocks in place. For example, the constant full screen nag to make an account to view nsfw communities and posts. Just swapping www for old in the url and it shows right up.

Encrypted mail is 100% a thing. And it is definitely used by medical personnel to send information securely.

But email is not encrypted by default, and isn’t as simple as checking a box in Yahoo or Gmail to do so.

And that includes the firmware required for you to load your software.

The LLM isn’t limited to just what it does. It can interact with other programs.

There are a ton of audio recognition systems available, almost all of them predate this LLM bubble. There’s already an API for interacting with the ordering system. So it’s just down to having the LLM pull what is then do that corresponding action for the order.

This is so simple it doesn’t require anything nearly as complicated as an LLM. The old phone assistants like Siri and Alexa could do this type of thing. It’s literally the same as telling Alexa to place an order for something, and that’s been an ability for years.

That’s not unexpected. Variable refresh rate (GSYNC and Freesync) has always needed the display to support it first.

Lucifer dared to question his father and was cast out for eternity and demonized for not blindly obeying. Not surprising he’d be a bit salty about that.

IIRC in the Bible Lucifer only kills one person, versus the millions God kills at a whim, usually for disobeying some bullshit he came up with that he never told anyone about.

Satan really just runs the place for God’s undesirables. Why would you want to worship the largest mass murderer in history in the first place though?

Assuming the stories and parables are true, or even based on any sort of reality, which of course they aren’t.

As designed for large companies, government contracts or not. Look at the tax payments for any large company and you’ll see minimal tax liabilities.

This is one of the few games I keep installed and jump back to just as a chill game that requires no intense planning or strategy. The mechanics are simple, well executed, and easy to pick back up after not playing for a while. So many games have tons of complex mechanics that are fine when you’re playing it, but hard to remember if you haven’t touched it in a while.

You mean the censorship law was woefully ill-conceived and won’t do anything they claim it is supposed to do? Leay it’s definitely a joke, just not the type you’re asking about.

They never say what the “natural flavor” is.

A reminder that “natural flavor” doesn’t mean healthier or even something you might want over the artificially created flavors. It just means it comes from a natural source and is not lab created.

Castoreum, sometimes used for vanilla and raspberry flavoring, comes from beaver anal secretions. That would be labelled under a “natural flavor” and you’d never be told more than that.

I’ll take the artificial stuff any day just on principle there.

hardly anyone plays anymore

Millions of people still play Fortnite daily. Over a million concurrent on some days.

“It is illegal for us to recommend using services like a VPN to bypass these limits. We do recommend you ask your government why they don’t want you to know about these services or have access to free educational content”.

To put that into perspective, Tucson Electric Power has a generating capacity of 3,101MW. So at 600MW, that facility alone would be nearly 20% of their current capacity.
