These two look like they could easily afford to eat elsewhere, but everyone loves an automat. This one was in Grand Central Station in 1948.

Fotodruck leicht gemacht
Die Kita braucht ausgedruckte Fotos der Tochter für etliche Einsatzzwecke. Ich habe mich – abgesehen von dem einen oder anderen Weihnachtsgeschenk, das über Onlinedienstleister gestaltet und bestellt wurde – noch nie mit dem Ausdrucken von digitalen Fotos beschäftigt. Ich fürchte einen komplizierten Vorgang wie früher, als ich noch fertige Filme ins Fotolabor geben musste. Aber dann erinnere ich mich zum Glück an die Geräte, die ich schon oft beim Drogeriemarkt in der Fotoabteilung gesehen habe.
Mutig und mit nicht mehr als dem gewünschten Foto im Handyspeicher gehe ich in den Laden. Erst dort fällt mir ein, dass ich vielleicht einen USB-Stick hätte vorbereiten sollen. Aber weit gefehlt, die Technik ist auf der Höhe der Zeit. Ich tippe auf dem Bildschirm an, dass ich ein Apple-Gerät in der Hand halte. Nach ein paar Sekunden Bedenkzeit werde ich aufgefordert, mich mit einem extra angelegten WLAN zu verbinden. Dann soll ich die Fotos „drucken“ und den angegebenen Airprint-Drucker auswählen. Danach muss ich nur noch sagen, welcher Art der Fotodruck sein soll – man kann sogar direkt Sticker drucken lassen – und wie viele Exemplare ich benötige und schwups kommen die Bilder aus dem Drucker raus.
Der ganze Vorgang hat keine fünf Minuten gedauert. Mit einem ebenfalls ausgedruckten Bon, der einen Barcode enthält, gehe ich zur Kasse und bin schneller raus als früher bei der Aufgabe eines 36-Bilder-Films.

Once again, I come to exercise my writing muscles by inscribing my burning hatred of the grocer self-service shame rectangle onto this hellsite. Because, in addition to my prior complaints, my state has enacted a plastic bag ban, an utterly performative thing in my opinion, but it’s not too bad, right? I thought, no problem at all, I have some oversized reusable bags I can bring. But this was the first time I tried to bring a full cart of groceries out of the store post bag ban.
Originally, I thought I’d just go through the normal queues, so I had my bags at the bottom of the cart, underneath everything. I’d put everything on the belt, and then open my bags to load them up and start bagging - but the scant 2 lines open were completely backed up when I got there.
The one employee made to service the 10 so called ‘self’ service machines sees me enter the queue and immediately recognizes that something’s going to go wrong, and tells me to go to the one nearest to the exit, and offers a second cart to make things easier. I do not recognize the danger just yet, thank her, and start putting items directly in the bagging area to fish out my bags.
“please scan unscanned item in the bagging area”
Alright, my mistake, I’m drowning in my mask and letting the fluorescent lights get to me, my hair a mess because I used the car window to cool myself down instead of the A/C, my thoughts on the extremely recent wet Damp-rid stain in my car, oh, the fucking irony, I have Woolite to either clear or turn into a more appealing discoloration stain. Yes, you’re not supposed to hang them in a moving vehicle. No, no one listens. I remove the items, get assistance, and then set my empty bags in the bagging area.
“please scan unscanned item in the bagging area”
The worker tries to explain to me in vain, but I at least thankfully accept the second cart so I need not bother her for assistance further. I set my bags in the second cart, and get to scanning.
“help is on the way”
I’m on my third item. I don’t even know what I did wrong this time. I load up the bagging area - No, I get assistance from the one employee present while there are still 5 other people in this self service rectangle, getting help scanning and loading up the bagging area. I try to say I have it from here to the employee, I cannot impose any further for a multitude of reasons. In other words, I lie. I completely fill up the bagging area with half of my unbagged groceries before moving to transition them to the second cart-
“please place item back in the bagging area”
My understanding is, I left the items on the bagging area long enough that - unless I paid right then and there - the robot would continue to spite me. And, as I said before, the bagging area is full, and my cart is still half full. I unload the bagging area, get assistance, and repeat the process. At this rate, I’ll only need assistance one more time.
An item falls out of the bagging area. I tell myself, please don’t register as me trying to steal something, as I replace the item.
“please place it-”
The robot cuts itself off as it recognizes I have placed the item back, and I cut myself off from finishing my curse as I note that there is a child to my immediate left present scanning items with his guardian. This is parody at this point. The guardian makes a note to her child to get out of there before the machine starts yelling at them - she has seen my pain and can likely emphasize with it, but being spited while a child passes with flying colors would have broken the camel’s back were there not a child present to keep me from outright cursing at the machine. And, yes, I know the guardian meant the machine because she said “she,” and if I was being misgendered ontop of it all I don’t think I could take it.
This machine was designed by someone who gets their kicks by being embarrassed in public and, well, it’s nice to definitively know that I don’t.
I go to finish and pay, but remember then and there that I have coupons. I use my $2.00 off laundry coupon, thinking that it would come off because Woolite is in the same department. It did not come off, and the stain likely won’t either. But now the machine want’s to eat my coupon worth $0.00, and I want my coupon.
I press the button to call for assistance to take the coupon off.
“help is on the way”
The employee takes off the value of the coupon and takes the coupon. I cannot argue, I just want to leave.
Checking my receipt long after this exchange, another one of my ‘x for y’ discounts advertised to me on the shelf did - in fact - not come off.
I eat a rotisserie chicken sandwich with pickles, feeling like a gumshoe who has just enough energy to add pickles in the poor excuse for a meal he’s making, despite ostensibly getting plenty of food at the grocers.
I need not justify myself with the ‘righteous’ reasons to hate these self-service idiots that make an idiot out of me, I’ll leave that to the people who are stuck with working with them and having to assist idiots like me. I just want revenge.

User-Centric On-Demand Self-Service
The NIST Definition of Cloud Computing highlights On-Demand Self-Service as one of the essential characteristics of the cloud model. The characteristics of the cloud model are defined independently of the Service Models (SaaS, IaaS, Paas, …) and the Deployment Models (Private cloud, Public cloud, Hybrid cloud, …).
On-demand self-service. A consumer can unilaterally provision computing…

Horn & Hardart Automat at West 57th Street near Sixth Avenue, March, 1957. Horn & Hardart opened the first automat in Times Square on July 2, 1912. They took the concept from a successful German restaurant. By the mid-20th century, there were over 50 Horn & Hardart restaurants in New York, serving 350,000 customers a day.

Funniest bit of the dnd movie is Xenk clearly being an NPC the DM introduced for lore and plot purposes who’s a competent fighter because of course he is, his reputation and backstory require it. But whoopsies the DM made him too powerful, the whole party likes him, and now they want him to come with to fight the BBEG which will completely and utterly fuck up the encounter balance
So instead of there being any actual plot reason he can’t join Xenk just says “I can’t. This is something only you can do.” And then walks off, never to interact with the party again because the DM just knows those little shits will find a way to use their OP creation against them
#but this movie was fun! clearly understood and had fun with its source material without being pure fan service#like don’t get me wrong there was fan service and jokes but I feel like even not knowing dnd you could enjoy it#I also really liked how you could tell what each spell was as it was cast even if they weren’t named! my wizard main self was so excited lol#xenk yendar#dungeons and dragons#honor among thieves#dungeons and dragons honor among thieves#dungeons and dragons movie#dnd#idk what we’re tagging this with gang so I went with all of it

One of the most promising things about technologies like software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) is that they open innovative ways for service providers to create and deliver digital services. Many of these services will be created via new partnerships with content providers, gaming companies, social networks and other service providers that were previously considered competitors.
