You can still be on the grid and produce your own electricity. The electric company will even buy extra electricity from the consumer.

Electricity or milk is a good. Milk delivery or electricity delivery is a service that delivers a good.

No way you'd say "Milk" was a service, just like you shouldn't say "Electricity" is a service. If you give more detail that makes it a service, then it would be a service.

It was a bullshit question and the teacher didn't want to admit that.

Civics and Econ teacher.

You're supposed to assume they mean "Electrical Service" but they can't say service or they give you the answer.

"Home electricity" sure a service. Little vague but could be a service.

If I have solar panels on my house and store electricity in a battery. I am producing and storing a good. It would be home electricity.

That "electricity" was a service

Without context, it is a good.

It's like natural gas. It is a good.

It's like saying "milk" is a service because the milk man brings it to your house

She wouldn't give me my damn point back on the quiz

They mean a day old chicken that has hatched. They are comparing a human embryo to a live chick.

If it is a male chicken that is not going to lay eggs, it will get shredded

To my knowledge they do not have an inexpensive way, let's be honest any way that costs any money is probably not going to be used unlessed forced, to find the sex of the chicken before it is hatched.

It's called chick culling if your interested in reading about how 7 billion male chick's get shredded each year worldwide.

So a Japanese character that I've never heard speak English says something in Japanese. English words pop up on screen.

You're telling me you read the English words in a random Japanese/English accent? Like a stereotype voice?

I find subtiles distracting

I read the words that pop up on the screen in my own voice in my head and basically ignore the voices because I can not understand them anyways.

I enjoyed Death Note in dubbed

I enjoyed Alice in Boarderlands in subbed, dubbed was bad

I'm split on Money Heist. My friend showed me it in English and I watched the whole first episode without realizing it was dubbed. Trying to watch it subbed after that was like the characters were not speaking the language I thought they did. It was weird.

I can see some people hating the lips not matching up, but I don't really look at.

Maybe if I was big into subbed shows I'd like them more and I'm sure I'd get better at enjoying subtitles.

But I am the kind of person that would want to rewind a movie or show because I didn't understand what a character said. I hate feeling like I am missing important information.

They would only be in a bad situation because minimum wage is low and they will be missing tips.

A pizza driver in the US is guaranteed at least minimum wage while they are on the clock.

To my knowledge, Uber style delivery services are not going to fire you for not working a night.

The typical pizza place has managers that will force workers to work. If you are forced to work and someone calls in a pizza, you are forced to deliver.

Im sure there are people out there that have 4x4s and enjoy the extra tips in the hazardous conditions.

But you could also be risking some poor soul life that's being forced to deliver in their Honda civic.

Those people can't say no to their managers in fear of being fired. It's what the whole comment was about. They can't quit, fired could be worse.

A delivery driver is already towards the bottom of the job ladder

Not many can say "I can be without work for a week or two while I look for a better/safer job"

Can they say no? Yes, can they really say no? Probably not
