tonight i delivered food to a mcmansion so big and so boxy and so generic that i thought it was an apartment complex. it was surrounded by other mcmansions that had the exact same floor plan, cookie-cutter suburb style, except these houses had 4 floors, 2-car garages, lofts above said 2-car garages, and terraced balconies. every single one of these single-family homes, which i estimate are 4,000 to 5,000 square feet apiece, was ringed on top of a hill with a lovely view of the city. this meant they also all shared a driveway and had functionally no backyards whatsoever, because the ground sloped too sharply downward around them.

i'd say it should be horror plot fodder but....... it's too easy.....

no body we're not being hunted for sport we're just about to have a confrontation. I know you think these are the same things but truly they are not

I cannot run away from this conversation, we're just going to have to get through it together.

( my thing with muses is i want to understand why they think and act like they do. what motivates them. what drives them. how do they justify their behaviors to themselves?

i want to understand, without excusing or justifying bad behavior, y'know? it's interesting to explore a real fucked worldview and how it might make sense, from their perspective. )

Poro mun is going to accept this canon that the first find of a deposit is a big moment for the baby rock poros! Baby blocks think they did a good job! They found a thing! Perhaps will get mama metal circles!

Of course, they just like that mama is happy with them! Do not entirely know what a 'pizza' is, but still.

Noelle isn't really sure what their obsession with getting money is when she's made it clear they don't need the money. Still, she's glad to see the poros being poros, and this does seem like an occasion worth celebrating.

She makes them a fresh batch of the lemonade from the rest of the bathtub lemons that they didn't hastily return to Pete, who's probably very confused/worried they didn't like them, and orders a pizza from her favorite place in her home realm.

Naturally, she picks it up personally. Can you imagine delivery fees across realities?

Tbh I know people joke about how it's funny that the protagonist of New Vegas is a courier a lot but like idk man every single mailman I have ever known has frankly been insane or like bizarrely aggressive and I've no doubt this would go double for someone who would be making deliveries in a world with like radiation and deathclaws

The workshop thing wasn't great in that respect but it wasn't that bad either because it was so clear that people were jealous when they were being harsher than the professors, who did step in at points when it veered from critiquing stylistic choices into doing exactly what people who think tagging fics on that post is okay are doing. It didn't discourage me from writing but it did solidify my decision not to major in creative writing (this is probably also why I in particular was a target: it wasn't my major, it was a hobby, but I was as qualified as them and got as much praise as they did and even one time more than them on the very first exercise of my first workshop, which probably didn't sit right with them, but only fueled me further because I am nothing if not a creature of spite).

And that's the thing too: so many people can't grasp that there's a huge difference between "this isn't for me" and "this has a lot of issues". Which to preface, unless someone's asked you to beta for them keep your mouth shut. They're doing this for free. Exit out if there are too many errors or whatever (and errors isn't even exactly the word I want but I'm exhausted and didn't sleep enough last night). Not that those people SHOULD beta either even if they were asked, honestly, because they clearly do not have a grasp on what constructive criticism actually is or how it works. You don't need a workshop to learn that either, just basic human decency and Google.

But like anyways. In the workshops I read plenty of things I just Did Not Vibe With, but were objectively very, very good art and you could tell how much care the author put into them. Sometimes things just aren't for you and the author didn't poorly execute that concept, actually.

I ran into this a lot in Performance World, too, back when I was trying to get a singing/stage performing career off the ground. There are SO many threads of that part of my life I can relate to this discussion and it would take far too long to explain them all, but there VERY much was a culture of perfectionism. Jealousy and extreme competition were incredibly prevalent, lots of "stay in your box," lots of complaining if people didn't stay in their box. Even when we were learning (or doing community theatre just to stay in practice or build up a resume), the stakes always seemed astronomically high. Someone could do a passable or even genuinely good job; but if it wasn't good in the "right" way, then it was still seen as meaningless.

For courtesy's sake, I'm putting the rest of my thoughts under a cut, because. Well. This got long. As answers by me are wont to do.

There also was a lot of "pick a genre" and "this is the only MEANINGFUL type of music/art/etc." The opera crowd hated that I liked musicals and pop music because those styles were all "stupid" and "frivolous" and "simple" (which isn't. even true, no art form is a monolith, and what those words mean is going to be different for every person, but, you know). Everyone else hated that I sang opera because it was a "pretentious art form" and "boring" and "sexist/racist/etc." (Those first two are incredibly subjective, and plenty of modern opera works exist that seeks to not uphold those forms of prejudice.) There was "if you look like [x], then you can't do [y performance type]." "If your voice sounds like this, then you can't EVER pursue ANY roles outside of this small pool of stuff because you need to know your place; if you don't, people will think you're making Bad Art." And then you, at best, get shamed, and, at worst, can't make a living.

All of this, of course, was a matter of opinion. Most of it, like you said, boiled down to the fact that people were doing things that weren't, actually, bad or untalented or ineffective--they just didn't work for people. They didn't meet some arbitrary, subjective standard that had no real, concrete, actual meaning. But when people with any degree of power start taking their artistic opinions as immovable fact, we end up with...well, we end up with the current theatre climate, and we end up with whatever is happening in fandom communities right now. (Because just as there are some people who, for insisting on a lack of constructive criticism, should not be beta readers, there are some who should not be educators or directors.)

There were a lot of reasons that I eventually stopped performing publicly/on stage. But a big part of it was that I just didn't want to deal with that culture anymore. When I made the decision to walk away, I had gotten to the point where I'd started to hate singing. My primary form of expression, of catharsis, of solace, since I was eight or nine years old. And luckily, withdrawing from a professional pursuit of art has helped me get some of that back. But I see those same issues--that same negativity, that same judgment--starting to pop up in something that isn't even meant to be for money or a career or anything other than personal expression. I see so many people getting discouraged, starting to lose the love they had for that expression. My love of art was almost taken away from me, to the point where for a very long time I couldn't even do it for fun, alone, in the private comfort of my house. And if I can do anything to prevent that from happening to someone else, I sure as hell will.

I'm glad that you were still able to get some good out of that workshop, because that's not always easy to do when the people around you are acting like that. (And kudos to realizing that you didn't want to do this as a major/career, that's not always easy to do either.) And I know I've talked more about professional art, but this is so prevalent in the way people talk about community theatre, too. Being upset that a student production doesn't have Super Stellar Voices/Acting, ragging on amateur singers just for posting a karaoke video on their personal Facebook page, expecting Met-opera-level singing quality or Shakespeare-scholar levels of acting text analysis from a group of volunteers who are spending their precious few after-work hours to put on a musical, just because they want to share that story with people. I've seen lots of comments that it's not meaningful because it's "bad." When. I've done a lot of community theatre. Plenty of it is not bad, actually. If you hate it that much, you don't have to attend a production. (Just like how. if you hate a fic. you can hit the back button.) And even if it is "bad." It's still going to be meaningful to someone. Even in a "bad" production, at least ONE of the actors or crew members will have a good time helping create it. And at least ONE audience member is going to have a good time; whether that be because they simply love theatre, someone they love is involved with the production, or because they don't care about an arbitrary "quality" measurement. And I absolutely think the same thing is true of writing, and of fanfiction especially.

If, for example, someone goes to karaoke and screams "I Dreamed A Dream" from Les Mis extremely off-key and grating, because they're experiencing a shitty situation and just need some catharsis? I don't have the right to rag on them for that, I would be an asshole. If someone posts a cover for fun on YouTube of...I don't know, "Take On Me" and can't hit the high notes, but wants to pay tribute to a song they love, who the fuck would I be to take that away from them? So if someone writes a "silly" or "stupid" or oh-God-forbid "cringe" piece of fanfiction (which. AGAIN. do not have any concrete meaning because those are SUBJECTIVE TERMS) to get some feelings out or to talk about how much they love a fictional character. Well, I think if you call them names over that and try to publicly shame or harass them, then, quite frankly, you are engaging in pointless, cruel, and braincell-less behavior. And you can stay 10,000 feet away from me.

In a world where customer expectations evolve faster than ever, offering a platform that connects multiple restaurants under one roof isn’t just smart—it’s powerful. When I first came across DeliveryBee’s Multi Restaurant Aggregator App, it clicked instantly.

That’s why I lean towards having a Multi Restaurant Food Delivery Solution that gives me full control over everything—menu management, delivery tracking, customer data, marketing tools, and performance analytics.

With DeliveryBee, I don’t feel like I’m just part of the platform—I own the platform. It gives me the brand identity I want and the operational flexibility I need.

If you’re like me and thinking about expanding across regions—or even countries—then scalability becomes a serious concern. Fortunately, DeliveryBee's architecture is robust enough to grow with the business. The Multi Restaurant Online Food Delivery App comes with features like multilingual support, zone-based pricing, real-time analytics, and third-party integrations that make scaling seamless.

Final Thoughts

In my journey exploring digital food tech solutions, I’ve realized that a Multi Restaurant Aggregator App isn’t just a digital tool—it’s a business model. With DeliveryBee’s solution, I’m not just building a food app; I’m building a scalable, profitable, and resilient enterprise.

If you're running a restaurant group, managing franchise chains, or looking to launch your own food delivery platform, I truly believe that embracing a Multi Vendor Food Ordering System like DeliveryBee could be the smartest move you’ll make this year.

Ready to take the next step? I know I am.

EV Battery Swapping vs Charging Station: The Future of Electric Motorcycles in Dubai

The last-mile delivery segment is undergoing a rapid transformation. Driven by sustainability, speed, and cost-efficiency, one of the most disruptive innovations today is EV battery swapping—a solution that’s revolutionizing how electric scooters and motorcycles are powered for urban deliveries.

From reducing downtime to slashing operational costs, multi-brand battery swapping solutions are emerging as a game-changer for modern fleets. In this article, we explore how battery swapping stations deliver both time and cost benefits for companies involved in last mile delivery services.

What is Battery Swapping?

Battery swapping allows electric vehicle users to replace depleted batteries with fully charged ones at a swapping station in under 5 minutes. Unlike conventional charging—which can take hours—swapping provides an instant energy boost.

This method is especially powerful for last mile delivery companies that rely on speed, efficiency, and uptime for success.

Why Battery Swapping Is Ideal for Last-Mile Delivery Fleets

Whether you're a startup or an enterprise in last mile delivery solutions—uptime is everything. Here's why battery swapping is a natural fit:

1. Zero Downtime for Fleets

Battery swapping eliminates long charging breaks. This keeps scooters and motorcycles on the road longer and boosts delivery productivity.

2. Cost Savings Without Battery Ownership

With battery-as-a-service models, delivery companies don't own or maintain the batteries. This drastically reduces operational costs over time.

3. Compatible With Multiple Brands

A key advantage of today’s systems is the ability to support different EV models. A multi-brand battery swapping solution gives you flexibility to scale without being tied to a single OEM.

How Battery Swapping Saves Costs for Delivery Services

Here are the top ways battery swapping stations reduce operating costs for last mile delivery companies:

No CapEx on Batteries With battery swapping, you skip the large upfront investment in battery packs. Providers like Swap Energy supply and manage batteries.

Minimal Maintenance & Risk Charging infrastructure requires ongoing care. With battery swapping, the station handles battery health, reducing repair and degradation costs.

Pay-as-you-Go Models Most battery swapping stations offer flexible pricing plans—allowing businesses to scale efficiently.

Time Efficiency: Boosting Every Delivery Cycle

Battery swapping isn’t just cost-effective—it’s fast. And in last mile delivery services, time saved equals more deliveries completed.

2–5 Minute Battery Swap Say goodbye to hours-long charging. A quick battery exchange keeps delivery agents moving.

Integrated Into Urban Routes Swapping stations can be placed near busy delivery areas, reducing detours.

More Deliveries Per Shift With no charging delays, your workforce stays productive, and your service gets faster.

Eco-Friendly & Scalable for the Future

As governments push for cleaner mobility, battery swapping becomes an eco-forward solution:

Zero Tailpipe Emissions Electric motorcycles and scooters produce no direct emissions—ideal for clean city initiatives.

Reduced Battery Waste Station-based batteries are maintained professionally, leading to longer lifespans and responsible recycling.

Powered by Renewables Some stations use solar or wind, further minimizing the carbon footprint of EV battery swapping.

Why Multi-Brand Swapping Is the Future

Older EV models often required brand-specific charging. Today’s multi-brand battery swapping solutions eliminate that restriction. Providers like Swap Energy are setting new industry standards by supporting diverse vehicle types and manufacturers under a single platform.

This gives last mile delivery companies more freedom in vehicle procurement and fleet management—without sacrificing battery infrastructure compatibility.

 How the UAE Is Leading the Battery Swapping Revolution

Dubai and the UAE are pioneering smart logistics with robust EV infrastructure. Businesses across sectors—from eCommerce to food—are embracing EV battery swapping as a sustainable alternative to fossil-fuel-based delivery.

Platforms like Swap Energy are playing a key role in this transition by offering efficient, tech-driven, and scalable energy solutions for last-mile logistics.

Final Thoughts

Battery swapping for last-mile delivery isn't just an innovation—it's a strategic business decision. With rising demand for quicker deliveries and green alternatives, this model ensures fleet uptime, reduces overheads, and supports long-term growth.

If you're looking to optimize your delivery operations, reduce carbon emissions, and scale fast—now is the time to embrace battery swapping stations.

FAQ: Battery Swapping for Last-Mile Delivery

Q1. What is battery swapping and how does it benefit delivery companies?

Battery swapping allows riders to quickly exchange a used battery for a fully charged one, reducing downtime and eliminating long charging breaks. This boosts productivity and improves delivery efficiency.

Q2. How does battery swapping reduce costs for delivery services?

Delivery companies save by avoiding battery ownership, reducing maintenance needs, and using affordable subscription-based models. This leads to lower operational expenses.

Q3. Can battery swapping work with all types of electric scooters or motorcycles?

Yes. Platforms like Swap Energy offer multi-brand battery swapping solutions, making them compatible with a wide range of EVs.

Q4. Is battery swapping environmentally friendly?

Absolutely. It reduces carbon emissions, battery waste, and often uses clean energy. It supports eco-conscious business practices, especially in urban logistics.

Q5. Where can I find battery swapping stations in the UAE?

Visit Swap Energy’s Battery Swapping Station page to find current and upcoming locations across the UAE.

How to Create a Multi-Restaurant App That Competes with Uber Eats

Hey there! 👋

If you're like me, you've probably looked at big names like Uber Eats and thought, “Can I build something like that?” The answer is YES — especially if you’re a restaurant owner, a small business dreamer, or an enterprise ready to scale. Let me walk you through how I’d create a powerful Multi Restaurant Online Food Delivery App that actually competes with the giants.

Why I Chose the Multi-Restaurant Route

I knew from the start that a single-restaurant app wasn’t going to cut it. Customers crave variety. That’s why I focused on building a multi vendor food ordering system. It lets me onboard multiple restaurants, centralize orders, and serve up options to hungry users who want choices at their fingertips — all in one app.

Step 1: Define My Business Model

I had to get clear on how I was going to make money and deliver value. I picked a Multi Restaurant Aggregator App model — kind of like a digital food court. Think of it as a platform where users can browse multiple menus, place orders, and get everything delivered quickly and accurately.

Here’s what I included:

Commission-based earnings from restaurant partners

Delivery fees

In-app ads and featured listings for restaurants

Loyalty programs and subscription plans

Step 2: Finding the Right Development Partner

I didn’t want to reinvent the wheel. I searched for a Multi Restaurant Food Delivery Solution that I could customize and scale. A white-label app was the smartest move — I got a ready-made tech foundation and branded it like it was built just for me. Plus, I didn’t need a huge dev team to get started.

Step 3: Must-Have Features I Prioritized

To stay competitive with apps like Uber Eats, I made sure my app had:

Real-time tracking for users and drivers

Smooth UI and UX (easy to browse, order, and pay)

Ratings and reviews for both restaurants and couriers

Multi-language and multi-currency support (gotta think big!)

Integration with POS systems for restaurants

And on the admin side? Powerful dashboards to manage users, orders, payouts, and analytics.

Step 4: Partnering with Restaurants

This part was easier than I expected. I reached out to local restaurants and pitched the value of joining a Multi Restaurant Online Food Delivery App. They loved the idea of joining a platform built by someone who understands their challenges — and isn’t trying to take 30% of every sale like the big guys.

Step 5: Launch and Market Like a Pro

I didn’t just launch the app and wait. I used hyperlocal marketing, offered first-time user discounts, and even partnered with food influencers. Social proof and good reviews helped me gain traction fast.

Final Thoughts

Look, you don’t need a Silicon Valley budget to build a delivery app that competes with Uber Eats. You need a smart strategy, a solid multi vendor food ordering system, and a genuine commitment to supporting restaurants and delivering a great customer experience.

If I can do it, so can you. Let’s redefine food delivery — one order at a time. 🚀

[noshwayapp]

 Can an open-source online food ordering system be scaled for large operations?

Yes, an open-source online food ordering system can definitely be scaled for large operations — as long as the platform is built with modular code, flexible APIs, and allows for third-party integrations.

One common myth is that open-source means free. In reality, many open-source systems are commercially licensed, where you pay for access to the source code but retain the freedom to customize it over time.

For instance, Noshway offers a self-hosted, open-source online food ordering system that’s perfect for single restaurants, franchises, and even multi-vendor platforms like Uber Eats. The code is fully accessible, so you or your development team can adapt the system to new features, regions, or business models as you scale.

If you’re planning for long-term growth and want full control, an open-source model like Noshway’s can be a more powerful alternative to restrictive SaaS platforms.
