@NiallC. The road may be slopping down from the camera. I'm not going to say it isn't a photoshop, but it's not immediately obvious to me and there appears to be an entire news article around it.
I'm going to place my bet on legit. There's a second pole in the background with similar markings, and the tire paths on the right lane show an unusual veering away from the inside of the turn. Typically, you'd see the wear marks going right up to the double yellow line on that turn.
I'd like to build a bookcase using pine (or meranti) planks of dimension 22mm/220mm/3m that my local hardware store stocks. They offer the service of cutting to length, but I have no power tools (well, maybe a drill and countersink bit), so will have to have it all cut beforehand.
What should I ...
we have manufactured wood right now - we got the unfinished ones at lowes and stained them ourselves - not the same. we're always paranoid about water when we put away dishes ruining the interior surfaces
the faces are real solid wood, but the insides - the actual cabinet - is mdf
I unplugged my refrigerator to clean it (new house), and it was working at the time of cleaning. We left it with it's doors open and unplugged for two days, after that it will not cool and stays room temperature inside the fridge and freezer sections.
How can I restore my fridge to normal operat...
because i know my boss gets easily frustrated - this is what you do. when he says hes going to buy food, who wants in - you simply tell him what you want, give him a $20 - when he gets there, he gets frustrated (easily) placing multiple orders and says f' it, puts it all on his card and gives you the $20 back
I was thinking of an app to make all this easier. "CoffeeRun" - Collect the orders on a phone, wave the bar code at the cash, and the order is entered into the cash register. Needs some work, particularly on the cash handling side. You could probably get a buy-in from a few big chains.
was working on an app like that with my brother for coffee
another project came up and i never finished it - been meaning to
someone presents a "million dollar app idea" to me almost every month - amazing how little insight into app development / running an entire f'ing server of that magnitude people have
I'd also like to have it track internal accounts. So when you give me $2 for a $1.65 order, the app will track that I owe you 35 cents. But that money just goes in as a credit to you and a debit to me, and we settle on payday.
the problem with those ideas is the technologies that make them easy to develop - are hit and miss with people that use them - for that app - you could use paypal pay a friend - gather everyones money and pay out of the pool - BUT - how many people use paypal on their phone
so to not use paypal and do it on your own would require some serious buildout
@ChrisCudmore you would be surprised how much you can do with little resources and shit tons of motivation when you need to - exotic solutions always present themselves
Microtransactions are really the biggest problem facing technology today. We've figured out how to by a car over the internet, but I still can't buy a coffee.
"Rick wants x and gave $2.00, Wendy wants y and gave $150". You manually place the order, and enter the cost of each order, then the app calculates change due to each order.
order -> restaurant == having something in place at the restaurant that can receive the order - you need a: internet access, b: premise equipment c: training d: DR plan (what happens when it goes down) e: support for the premise equipment (what happens when the host spills coffee on it)
@lsiunsuex order -> restaurant can be done two ways. 1) Cloud storage of order, and a PK via QR. This could also facilitate an online prepayment option.
2) Bluetooth Transfer of entire order. But pairing would then be an issue.
@ChrisCudmore thats what i'm trying to say - putting a device at the restaurant requires more work than actually developing the system and getting someone to buy it
I could go without the electronic transfer to start. Just use it as a stand alone order/cash tracking tool. I can still hand my phone to the clerk while they punch it in.
dont get me wrong - the idea is solid - its a version 2 feature i have on the map for my restaurant startup - but its a very complex process to do it right
cash requires making change - with the proper gateway - CC transactions under $20 don't require a receipt - CC's are faster - go order a coffee from SB - give her your card - 2 seconds later she gives it back
Imagine sitting in starbucks, reading the paper, and you notice your coffee is almost gone. Like most people, you're too lazy to get and wait in line for more. So you pull out your smartphone, and place the order. 2 minutes later the clerk calls out that your order is ready.
@lsiunsuex That's because that needs to be interpreted by cops in the field. Nothing gets done on my phone acct. without there being a computer terminal involved.
right, but if you train a human to look at an account number and say the first 10 are the phone #, the next 4 are month and year, the next 5 ... it can make things easier
we know our acct numbers start with the year - so do our customers, we tell them right on the website
