For Aldi, which uses Instacart, I assumed it was because there is no 'fee' for pickup, but they have to pay someone to shop for you. I consider the difference a convenience fee.
That said, by not shopping in store, I end up getting only what is on my list and end up paying FAR LESS than I would if I was wandering around.
I thought "end to end" meant "one tushy to another".
Citing facts is trilling!
More socialism for the rich oligarchs.
Musk finally has a sucker to buy his robots.
About 40 countries have enacted sugary drink taxes and they have been shown to reduce consumption.
They're not suing the grocery chains.
They are suing the companies that make the trash food.
Just like the companies that made cigarettes were held liable for the damage they caused.
Also, since it takes 10+ years to build a nuclear plant, nuclear power is kind of irrelevant.
Zimbabwe
They want everyone to be as brain damaged as our "leaders".
TFA shows difference between male and female
The research does show step changes at 9,32,66, 83 ages. (Of course, these are not exact ages for everyone but there are step changes.
TFA is a very good read.
I believe that data centers for quite some time have been designed to automatically deactivate failed equipment but leave it in place and not replace it. It's just cheaper than sending someone to fix it and the small decrease in performance is accounted for in the design. The entire data center has a defined life dictated by technology advances. This is usually fairly short 3 to 5 years. (AI data centers are shorter).
No paper.
Numerous studies of "agrivoltaics" (solar PV combined with farming) has shown that solar PV improves yields, reduces water use by providing partial shade. Good for both plant and animal farming.
More and more I'm encountering AI as customer service agents (both online and by telephone).
I have not had a singe good experience with any of them. They provide wordy generic useless responses.
The worst experience was with Tesla Insurance. They randomly sent me a message that they were cancelling my insurance because they didn't have a home address for me (in spite of them being able to see my car parked at home every night for the past three years). I thought I could just call them to straighten out the confusion. AI agent was useless and said I had to talk to a real person. I spent hours a day over a week and never got to talk to a person. I ended up just cancelling and getting a new (cheaper) insurance company.
Are they using Musk's Nazi-Grok AI?
It's fabulous! We haven't seen anything like it in the last half an hour! -- Macy's
