Domino’s Pizza testing pizza-delivering drones

Oh look at the "job creators" hard at work trying to get rid of as many jobs as possible. From what I understand Domino's already pays their delivery drivers less than minimum wage, but I guess even that is too much.

 

I don't see this happening though. First, I don't see how it could possibly be 100% automated. As it says there, it's being piloted by someone on the ground. Domino's sure as hell wouldn't spend the buttload of money needed to buy a ton of these things just to then replace their drivers with drone pilots (which I'm guessing would be hard to find for the $4 or $5 an hour or whatever they pay). They could care less about delivering pizzas 2 minutes faster, they'd only do this if it allows them to cut half of their work force.

 

The other thing is weather. Rain, snow, heavy wind, ect. these things would be worthless. And that's when people order delivery food the most. That's a lot of business they'd lose to pizza joints across the street when they have to tell people, "sorry we can't deliver it's kinda windy out right now."

 

There's plenty of other issues with it as well. Kids running up and stealing the pizza or intentionally damaging the thing, not having places to land (or landing in a parking lot/street and having it get run over).

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
