You don't actually give the card to the employees, do you?

Typically when I go through a drive thru, I hand my card to someone who then leans back inside to swipe/tap/whatever it, then they hand it back. So yes, commonly I do give my card to an employee for at least a few seconds.

During 2020-2022 more of them were in the habit of placing the PIN pad at the window so it could be reached by customers from their cars, but it wasn't designed to be used that way and I'm sure it caused other issues.

Thank you Taylor. Very cool. in c/religiouscringe@midwest.social

She was a Scottish immigrant and her son is first-generation Scottish-American on her side.

I think the person above you is using the US Census Bureau definition of generations, which is that the first gen is the immigrant themselves, second gen their children. That's how I've always understood it.

Gotta imagine that ladder was covered in ice for much of the year.

Assuming this is in fact in Chernivtsi, as the post title says, it's not too bad there. Mean temp falls below freezing for three months out of the year.

Still, probably not fun to climb when there is ice...

A Different Way of Measuring Time: Metric Time in c/damnthatsinteresting@lemmy.ml

Dinner time would be around 0.7083 o-clock.

This is fairly similar to .beat time; in that system you would write it as @708. I guess you could make it @708.3 to be more specific.

Next they'll say voting is a major threat to democracy.

Didn't they just declare at the RNC that they don't want to live in a democracy?

Wait, what's the relative value of gold to silver and bronze

Gold is about 80:1 against silver. Bronze is probably 0.1 in that scale.

Should a 3D printer be used for making unnatural Franken-drills? I dunno but it absolutely can in c/3dprinting@lemmy.world

This is why i want a freakin 3d printer fr

Your local library may have one to print things for you. Saves that forward investment of materials and (some) skill.

Always wanted an ocean-centric map.

I think the above image is the Spilhaus World Ocean map, which I do find very pleasing to look at.
