Ah, crap, Uber surge pricing.
2.3x.
On a Sunday morning. Hmm.
5 hours' sleep.
With a nap on the plane, that should be enough. Arrive at noon, check in, caffeinate, deli, stroll, drinks, dinner, bed.
Hopefully.
Feeling nice today, so I sent that email cancelling my reservation with some suggestions on how to improve the reservation system.
(Also, that restaurant actually looks good, so I want to be able to book a table there for next time I'm in Toronto without the risk of my bank being drained.)
A restaurant in Toronto doing a fixed-price brunch wants my card details so they can charge in case of no-show etc.
Fair enough, lots of restaurants do that.
But they want me to insert text boxes into a PDF, sign it, and email it back with a scan of the same credit card.
No restaurant's that good.
@phoneboy Must be all those US-based devs who only travel to the surrounding states.
@skematica > I ought perhaps to except [from the universal prevalence of dialect] the United States of America, in which dialect is hardly known; unless some scanty remains of the croaking, guttural idioms of the Dutch, still observable in New York; the Scotch-Irish, as it used to be called, in some of the back settlers of the Middle States; and the whining, canting drawl brought by some republican, Oliverian and Puritan emigrants from the West of England, and still kept up by their unregenerated descendants of New England – may still be called dialects
(Jonathan Boucher, 1800)
Even with a burner phone and accounts, getting to New York is going to be a pain. Going to have to sign out of everything before we land — if only to reduce the risk of something happening during those 30 minutes between landing and getting into an Uber.
