The story is a couple days old...Surprised I didn't see it here already. Probably very good news, as EZCater works with third-party catering companies like DeliverThat, Dlivrd, etc. to fulfill these high value orders, so those catering orders will ultimately flow directly to highly rated UberEats drivers. EZCater also works with UberEats' arch-rival, DoorDash, so this deal means that all of those DoorDash catering orders will also come here, as Uber has no reason to help it's competitor.

Although the integration won't happen immediately, it's definitely good news for us. My guess is that these catering orders will go to the highest rated Diamond drivers, but I guess we'll just have to see.

Sorry for the word salad title.

I had a pretty good delivery from a pizza chain. Five minutes after delivery, I get a phone call from the customer saying it's the wrong order. I was very apologetic, and told them that I'd go right back and get them the order in no time (luckily, it was 1 mile from their house). The offer paid so well that this wasn't even a question for me.

When I got back to the pizza place, the guy was asking for the old order - He kinda seemed pissed that I didn't bring it back, but I told him that it was already delivered and I left the customer and told them they can just keep both orders, and that I was just trying to do right by them, and do a little extra work "off the clock" by bringing them the correct order (even though I wasn't getting paid).

The customer ended up just giving me the other order when I delivered the correct one. I ended up giving one of the pizzas to a group of some college kids nearby (since it would be too much food for me).

I'm wondering if you guys would have brought back the other order if you already delivered and left the place. I know some people wouldn't want to do the extra work, but the customer tipped well, and I don't want to mess with my ratings, reports, etc.

I am in debt repayment mode, and had a few ACH's come in today, and made a pretty large debt payment toward a particular card (Discover / now Capital One). I noticed that the closing date for that card is tomorrow. I'm guessing that the "posting date" (i.e. when the funds technically leave my checking account) will technically be tomorrow, so I'm wondering if the payment will make it in time to reflect on the various credit scoring models?

Overall, I know one month doesn't matter, and that the most important thing is that I'm paying down this interest-bearing debt, but it would still be nice to see the progress.

I left Grok after my $30 for 3 month offer expired one month ago. In that time, I watched them basically give you one week of usage for what you used to get in a day, and, as we all already know, it's just no longer worth paying for.

With that said, the good news is that I expect all of these AI's and LLM's to eventually become commoditized. While it won't happen in the next day, week or month, it is definitely happening, and when it does, Elon will be forced to drastically increase usage / lower prices, in order to keep users. Until then, I think it's best to just wait it out. If you use Grok for porn, just go back to regular porn (there are many free porn sites out there) or try to find other AI options. If you are using for other reasons, continue to explore other LLM's.

I believe we will end up in a VERY advantageous position eventually, as all of these companies (including many newcomers), will have to start fighting for our business.

Just wanted to put this out there something that I kind of just found out by accident. There are many out there that just prefer to make 480p videos because they are made quicker, but I recently noticed that when you run out of 480p, you can actually still produce 720p videos. I think it's somewhere between 10-20, depending on video length. I found this out accidentally, as I had previously just assumed that when you were out of 480p, you were out of all videos.

It doesn't make the current situation that much better, but I don't think everyone was actually aware of this.

Hi all,

Recently got approved for the Shield with a $2000 credit limit, and I'd like more. My general stats are 723 FICO, 47% overall and 1/24 (this application being my first HP in 2 years). I dug myself out of a big hole the last 1-2 years (i.e. 80%+ UTIL, horrible FICO, etc.) by working hard and paying off debt aggressively.

I'm wondering what I should answer when they ask me what I want the higher limit for, given the truth that I really just want it for the long 0% period. I'd appreciate any thoughts from you guys on what I should tell them.

Thanks in advance!
