I guess it takes a little bit of “incel loser” attitude to balance out the simps.
Some people love to be victims.

I love reading lists of 5 poorly written qualifiers before carefully considering a response to a dumb internet post about the cost of pizza delivery.
I know all about his Mayo Clinic saga and his rare condition. It’s important for someone like him to be clear about what’s going on, or accept the fact that people are going to suggest things that he can’t do. If he’s not absolutely clear about it, people aren’t going to automatically assume “oh yeah, he must have that rare condition where smelling food makes him feel sick because he said he can’t cook and has sensitive smell. It’s obvious to me after reading that that there’s no way he can go pick up a pizza and not pay $8.60 for delivery.”
Most people in this thread, myself included, already know about his thing, but if someone doesn’t know about it ahead of time, I’m just trying to make the point that hey, this needs to be spelled out. If it’s not spelled out, then don’t get defensive when someone responds with an otherwise reasonable comment.
I guess so. Honestly, though, if you have a rare condition and don’t want people suggesting things that you can’t do, it helps to be clear in your communication.
If you go to a restaurant and tell the server “I can’t cook and I’m smell sensitive”, they’re going to say “Ok, you’ve come to the right place”. Instead, tell them “Unfortunately, if I catch a whiff of food I’ll feel sick.” Then the restaurant can see if there’s anything they can do for you.
I just think most people, if they weren’t already aware of his Mayo Clinic saga and his rare condition, wouldn’t guess “oh this guy must have that thing where smelling food makes him feel sick” based on what he wrote. Something that rare and, let’s be honest, strange, needs to be stated clearly if he really wants people to know about it.
I mentioned the fact that he paid $8+ for someone to deliver food, and his response rubbed me as overly defensive – “Some people just don’t bother reading the original list of 5 items, comprehending each one before commenting on my precious post.”
You need to rewrite that to make it clearer, or maybe you enjoy belittling people for not knowing what you mean.
Have you tried breathing through your mouth?
Maybe you’re making an assumption. Maybe he just doesn’t know how to cook?
“Extremely smell sensitive” just tells me you have a keen sense of smell. Sorry bro, just saying not everyone can read your mind.
You seem to think you mentioned that not being an option, but you didn’t mention anything about that.
Dang, that picture would have saved me a lot of time satisfying my curiosity haha. It didn’t load at first.
Well at least you can see that yes, your location is cheaper than mine.
Basically you paid $8+ for something to drive to your house. I usually place pick-up orders for that reason.
Devil’s advocate:
That’s $24.85 before tip. I don’t know how much tax was or if you tipped on top of tax.
I was curious so went to their website for where I live. I live in a high/average cost of living place:
Small Pizza w/2 toppings - $13.49
Stuffed Cheesy Bread - $8.99
2 sauces - $1.58
20% tip - $4.81
Total for me without tax would be $28.87. Add tax (call it 7%?) on the subtotal only (not the tip), and the total (including tip) is $30.55.
Food - $24.06
Tax - $1.68
Tip - 4.81
I guess the question is, is $13.50 expensive for a small pizza? A local joint near me charges $22 for a small with two toppings. The pizza is $14, and toppings are $4 each.
A small pizza and a cheesy bread is a LOT of food for one person, so you could argue that even though you didn’t order food for yourself, you’ll be able to eat some leftovers, so that’s a plus.
“Easy” might just be relevant to your experience. You can follow along with the Ansible instructions, or go your own way with Docker and Docker Compose.
Both methods require a bit of work to get spun up, but it’s not too bad.
What’s this about?
I think a law passed allowing businesses to do this now. Before they were bound by their agreements with pay processors. Typically they allowed a discount for cash, but not an extra charge for credit. The whole “$10 minimum for credit cards” wasn’t supposed to happen, either.
Now the payment processors aren’t allowed to enforce that type of rule.

Wait, you’re right. Are they different rooms, maybe?
Is the problem that the bags aren’t long enough? Fill the bottom of the can with something the bag can rest on.
I’m pushing 40 and 30 seems so long ago. This is not “it”. Life is full of surprises.
They probably assumed you lived a little further away since you mentioned living outside of town in sentance 1 of qualifier 3. An understandable mistake.
