I made $250 in tips in less than 15 hours of work over three days. I am very happy with that. I saw an ad on craigslist for a delivery guy and there I was that same day and training that same night.
That is what I love about small mom and pop operations. They do everything under the table and they speed up the hiring process by making on the spot decisions.
I never thought that delivery would be 1. Fun, 2. Profitable, or 3. Easy
I am lovin’ it! On Thursday at 5 PM I had like $13 dollars to my name, and now I am feeling a lot more comfortable until payday. I like how life always has a way to turn around and even when you are at your lowest point, eventually things will begin to look up.
It is just a job, but may be a blessing in disguise.

Qwen 3.8 27B is excellent, but it defaults to wildly overthinking things
Friday's big release was Qwen 3.8 27B, an Apache 2 licensed 27B parameter vision-capable LLM from Alibaba's Qwen research lab. I've been looking forward to this one: 27B is an excellent size for running a model on a reasonably specced laptop, and its prede...

Speaking of user interface guidelines, developer Matt Sephton and others compiled many of Apple’s human interface guidelines, starting from 1980, all the way to 2014, including some goodies like early drafts, NeXT, Newton, and so on. Elsewhere, designer Ge...

Birding photos from Dutch Gap on Aug 15, 2026 My best bird photo from this morning is a dragonfly (Eastern Pondhawk, I think). Least Sandpiper Green Heron Red-headed Woodpecker. It's a juvenile, so its head is not actually red yet.
