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 tukafan21 · Posted

      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.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
