If you used =sum(the fields) wouldn't it ignore any string cells and (in this case if the 1 is "1) return 5? Not that it's any less wrong, of course

That sounds like it probably has a lot to do with your problem! Does it happen regardless of how you drink? Straw, cup, bottle, etc.?

This is a great start. You can even fill a glass before bed so it's waiting on your nightstand when you open your eyes, like sizzling bacon on a bedroom Foreman grill.

(This should be fine as long as you're not immunocompromised, in which case you may need to stick to temperature-controlled water.)

That's such a widely accepted and familiar way of expressing this that I can't even see the poor and bad parts. What do you mean?

You're right, but also, why did someone use AI to make this image look worse??

Looking closer at the plant and random background object (door? cabinet? bulletin board?) it seems you're probably right, well spotted :(

That's the line they feed us, for sure. But if you ever actually added up federal income tax, state income tax, state and local sales tax, Social Security tax, property tax and assorted taxes for any instance in which you might come into additional money (capital gains, interest, prize winnings, inheritance, etc. etc. etc.) most Americans would probably be shocked to learn what real percentage of our income we actually pay to the government.

I wonder what that kind of quick response from Uber ends up costing restaurants and drivers in the long run. There are fraudulent claims to consider, but even when real mistakes are made, Uber has no way of knowing whether the order was complete when it was picked up. Probably makes it hard for restaurants to troubleshoot if there's been a real error, because they don't know that driver, so they can assume the driver is at fault and move on. I wonder jf Uber takes the refund out of its own slice or punishes both the restaurant and the driver?

(This is in no way about you and your refund, I'm just interested in how the policy ultimately affects quality in restaurant delivery.)

Isn't that because of customers choosing to rely on third party apps instead of taking advantage of local delivery? This seems like it requires a conscious resistance on our part. If everyone keeps doordashing everything, local restaurants have no choice but to get on board, fire their drivers, and let us pay more for app delivery via underpaid gig workers.

There's an undeniable racial component, yeah, but there's also the very real fact that those suffering past abuses were broadly in a different category from the majority of ordinary (white and white passing) American citizens, creating the illusion that they themselves were safe, or could choose to be safe by keeping their heads down.

As soon as the victim is in a position that you yourself could easily find yourself in (like dropping your kid off at school in a residential area), and you can imagine that you might make the same choices (like trying to leave a dangerous situation safely), your own safety is under direct threat.

A lot of people were sad, angry and outraged before, but now they're scared.

Legally integrated, but I wouldn't say fully. Source: living in the South.

Not to promote violence, but I'm afraid nothing is likely to change until people are pushed far enough to do more than hope.
