You said it did nothing it hurt the industry. That IS, in fact, plainly untrue.

And it’s also untrue for your area. Your anecdotes aren’t enough to outweigh the widely understood benefits for some restaurants.

Also, I don’t understand what you mean by “delivery is dead” in your area. If it’s dead, then what’s the problem?

Does the underlying data have any indication of geography? I'm wondering if, say, traffic in Brazil went down even more when Brazil was playing.

Also traffic across the US Thanksgiving period seems to have been down all day, but you can still see the match effects on top of that.

It's night and day difference. I know some people say eventually shifting and riding the clutch becomes second nature, and while it is easier overtime it never actually feels perfectly seamless to me.

DCT is a game-changer. Always feels pleasant to ride now, never a fear of stalling at a light lmao.

That's awesome. I'm terrible at shifting, so a DCT would be an amazing upgrade for me.

Yeah for sure. Personally my 2018 GSXR 600 is MUCH cheaper than my 2012 Audi A6, which has cost me more in maintenance in 4 years than the original price I bought the car for.

I get what you are saying in theory.....

In my area it did nothing to benefit, a number of friends own local restaurants, so not plainly untrue. My statement is true for my area. I can understand if its different in large Metro areas, but like I said, delivery is dead in my area. No side hustle delivery jobs here. No greater food choices for my community. That is def a net cost to my community as a whole.

His IQ is the same as dishwater temperature after you left it to soak into the shit that was burned into the stainless pans overnight.

I do have a google acc, but I‘m not a big fan of using it too extensive. The third bank account on the other hand is something I should attempt. Thanks for your answer.

There are many restaurants that get way more business because of it. Any restaurant whose kitchen could scale to more than their in-person dining would allow for, would benefit from this.

I have no idea if it’s a NET benefit…but you don’t know if it’s a net cost either…but you asserted that it did nothing bad things to the industry. That’s just plainly untrue.

How do you have 10k of “unknown expenses”

That’s a lot of money to go unaccounted for

It's so smooth when in sport mode (there's custom user modes too so you can manually choose torque, speed, engine breaking).

Hard to imagine going back to non-DCT. Especially in city riding.

Interesting, maybe you're riding different motorcycles. The Honda Rebel 1100 is made exceptionally well, with good maintenance it can easily reach six figure miles before any major issues arise.

Definitely not free, but overall, especially for the very low upfront cost, it's massively cheaper relative to a car.

Also how do you like the DCT? They seem like a super cool addition to any bike, but I've never gotten a chance to ride one with it

Cost of regular maintenance and tire replacements is much higher than a car. Chain, oil, tires, all these things have to be replaced after a while.

Cost of gear is super high too. I wouldn't be surprised seeing gear price tags with four digits.

Plus, motorcycles don't last as long as cars. A motorcycle with 30,000 miles is considered ancient, whereas that's still decently new for a car. So the amount you can drive before needing a new one is a lot shorter.

A lot of these costs aren't seen right away or aren't seen in the MSRP, which gives the illusion that bikes are wayyyy cheaper than cars.

What got me is that we use ‰ in Finland. Anything over 0,15% is pretty respectable 😄

It usually takes me 5 minutes or so to do a Rubiks Cube. Extrapolating, my BAC was probably 456%.

Never argue with the data.

What made them more expensive? I don't have much experience riding myself, only have used the Honda rebel 1100 with a DCT. Seems to be low maintenance and incredibly cheap on fuel. (Over 50 MPG)

And yeah it does sound fun lol

Ehhh I'm not so sure. I've had three motorcycles and so far each of them have proven to be more expensive than I originally anticipated. But I haven't seen the math so maybe it is profitable.

But profits aside, motorcycle delivery driver sounds like a really fun job

My girlfriend is a teacher and she also has this mentality. She complains about not being paid enough, barely being able to pay bills, not being able to afford eating out, etc.

She always knew the pay sucked, but "the job chose her".

I don't get it. Don't choose careers that can't afford the lifestyle you have. She got lucky because she met me and I could help, but what about everybody else?

I went to a science museum as a kid and they had a similar program at a kiosk. The only problem was it was very tough to get a meaningful impact. The asteroid either burned up in orbit or resulted in the "total destruction of Earth," which became a meme for us for a little while.

Thats mad! For like 10 dollars you can travel half a continent. Damn! Do tell us more

.18% is over two times the legal driving limit haha. I was having a hard time talking and walking- muscle memory just works in strange ways

That doesn’t even count as slightly tipsy. Do it again and drink more!

Edit: never mind, the UOM was per cent. Well done! 👍

Do you actually think it helped the restaurant industry...lol.....really? Can you explain that?

The data is flawed not for this reason alone, but its sufficient to not consider it as useful.

The data is also not useful as box office sales are based on movie hype. Since box office numbers are generated from theater views alone. The highest box office movies will be highly advertised, and more often than not be parts of a series. Take for example Furious 7, which I think is a great movie, but is nothing when compared to something like Wall-E. Furious 7 had a box office of 1.9 Bil^(inflation adjusted) whereas Wall-E made 721 Mil ^(inflation adjusted)
