    I think a major problem with DoorDash’s new drone delivery service is that it has to deliver to clear ground, which means you have to go outside to get your food, it won’t be right at your door. If they really want to provide a good service they need to have drones that can open the door, come inside and drop off direct to your lounge chair or bed. Or maybe the robo vac could be taught to multi-task and meet up with the drone for the final delivery leg?

      My old housemates brother delivered for the local pizza place. He had a spare key. We could get pizzas delivered to our bedrooms.

      Backatcha CEO. 🤟🏻 We’re all snug and (reasonably) warm here and all the appliances are dumb enough that we can cope.

    Donating every piece of clothing I just bought because despite being the ‘right’ size it actually sucks.

    Socks that are so tight in the ribbing they strangle my ankles. Bra with straps I can’t tighten enough to keep them from slipping off. Trackies that are waist high with wide tight/rigid elastic that feels like it’s squeezing my stomach despite fitting exactly/slightly loose, and an excessively baggy arse.

    What the hell Kmart? That was a complete waste of money because despite shelling out I still don’t have what I needed.

    Now I have to wait until I can get support to go shopping and see what I’m getting.

      fucking tell me about it. Bought a pair of jeans from BigW, they lasted less than a month before the thighs and ass split open.

      twenty pairs of jeans in two years from Target, Big W, and Harris Scarfe.

      I’ve even tried Levi’s and they lasted all of two weeks.

      At least Nudie Jeans guarantees free repairs and alterations for life, but they’re so expensive.

        Kmart used to be decent, I had no complaints. Now even ‘universal fit’ types of things have to be carefully tried on in person. Apparently even baggy elasticated items and socks. Pilled on the first wash too

        (The trackies also fit more like the next size up. The tight feeling came from the weird exaggerated hourglass cut. Completely different in sizing and cut to the past pairs I bought that were out of stock.)

      Kmart sizing is nuts! I ordered some tops recently in 2 sizes above what I would usually wear, to make sure they’d be comfortably loose. They turned out to be way too tight, while other stuff is the right size relative to the tag. Very annoying

        It is very strange.

        Undies (except the bamboo midis) must be bought one size up minimum. Usually I go to Big W for those.

        Shoes are so long and narrow they must be bought a size up minimum, yet are still extremely long and narrow on feet that are naturally that way. Normal feet would require two sizes up just for the width.

        Pants must be a size bigger than shirts even though my shoulders are wider than my hips (so it should be the other way around).

        Tshirts are basically different sizes despite the tag.

        Bras with the same tag are functionally completely different band and cup sizes.

        And the trackie daks of the same size vary from small and very straight cut to running very large and exaggeratedly hourglass cut.

        I unfortunately don’t have frequent opportunities to go in person otherwise I would. You really need to.

      The piece of software that fucked everything up is one of a handful that companies use.

      So thankfully not everyone has to deal with the current shit show.

    There’s some sort of mass outage happening. Half the checkouts in Woolies Oakleigh wasn’t working and a constant announcement complex wide alerting us of a technical problem.

    The Rush hour on Triple M wasn’t playing and came podcast only and have mentioned banks going down in the CBD and their own equipment wasn’t loading to air on radio.

    I wonder what’s going on.
