离开互联网行业
Thanks to the Internet, activities like “going outside” or “being a productive member of the community” are becoming increasingly optional parts of daily life. When your inner hermit feels like putting on his vampire cape, simple tricks like ordering a pizza or calling in some Chinese are old news, and only make up a small part of a much broader network of delivery services which will keep you fed, bathed, and entertained from the comfort of your sweatpants.
多亏了互联网,“走出去”或“成为社区的富有成效的成员”等活动已成为日常生活中越来越多的可选部分。 当您的隐士感觉像穿上他的吸血鬼斗篷时,简单的技巧(例如订购比萨饼或打电话给一些中国人)已成为老新闻,并且只占了更广泛的送货服务网络的一小部分,可以让您饱食,沐浴,并从运动裤的舒适性中获得乐趣。

借助我们提供的所有最佳在线服务和移动应用程序快速指南,您可能无需再品尝新鲜空气或阳光。
Safeway杂货配送/ Instacart /亚马逊新鲜 (Safeway Grocery Delivery/Instacart/Amazon Fresh)
First, we’ll take a look at the essentials. Food ranks pretty high up on the list of “things you’ll need to survive today”, and with grocery delivery platforms like Safeway Grocery, Instacart, or Amazon Fresh, you can take all the hassle out of waiting in line at the checkout and have your groceries brought straight into your kitchen by the bagful.
首先,我们来看一下要点。 在“今天您需要生存的东西”列表中,食物排名很高。借助杂货配送平台(如Safeway Grocery, Instacart或Amazon Fresh),您可以免去结帐时的所有麻烦,把你的食品杂货直接带到你的厨房。
The reason we have so many different services listed is that their availability varies greatly by the region of the country you hail from. If you’re in more rural towns, Safeway Grocery Delivery is going to be your best bet. They have been doing it the longest, and, as such, have the widest maps of serviceability. That said, if you can go with Instacart or Amazon Fresh, the increase in inventory selection is substantial enough that the wait is well worth it.
我们之所以列出这么多不同的服务,是因为它们的可用性因您所居住的国家/地区的不同而有很大差异。 如果您在更偏远的乡村,Safeway杂货配送将是您的最佳选择。 他们这样做的时间最长,因此具有最广泛的可维护性地图。 就是说,如果您可以使用Instacart或Amazon Fresh,那么库存选择的增加就足够了,以至于值得等待。
You can sign into Safeway.com to get started with grocery delivery today (plus, your first delivery is free). Rates go anywhere from $6.99 to $9.99 after that, depending on the delivery window you choose and the amount of food in your cart. Instacart keeps the same fee schedule, and even has the added benefit of same-day delivery, unlike Safeway which requires at least 24-hour notice.
您可以登录Safeway.com立即开始杂货送货(此外,您的第一笔送货是免费的)。 之后的费率从$ 6.99美元到$ 9.99美元不等,这取决于您选择的送货时段和购物车中的食物数量。 Instacart保持相同的费用表,甚至具有当日交货的附加好处,而Safeway则需要至少24小时通知。
Amazon Fresh delivery is free with a Prime subscription, or variable depending on how much food you order if you’re not a part of the Prime club.
Prime订阅免费提供Amazon Fresh送货服务;如果您不属于Prime俱乐部,则根据您订购的食物数量而有所不同。
Netflix /亚马逊Prime / Hulu Plus (Netflix/Amazon Prime/Hulu Plus)
No wonder Blockbuster went out of business.
难怪百视达倒闭了。
Nowadays, you don’t even have to have a cable subscription to amass enough media content to last anyone through the nuclear holocaust. Whether you’re watching from a bunker 100-feet under the surface or just want to veg out on the couch after a long week at work, online streaming services like Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Amazon Prime have massive catalogs of movies, TV shows, and original programming that can reduce even the most stoic individuals into an amorphous blob of blankets and half-eaten Ben and Jerry’s by the time Monday morning rolls around.
如今,您甚至无需有线订阅即可累积足够的媒体内容,从而使任何人都可以通过核大屠杀。 无论您是从地下100英尺的掩体处观看还是只想在工作了一个星期后在沙发上闲逛,Netflix,Hulu Plus和Amazon Prime等在线流媒体服务都会提供大量的电影,电视节目目录,甚至可以在周一早晨到来之前将即使是最坚忍的人都变成毯子和饱食的Ben和Jerry's的不规则斑点。
Hulu Plus is the cheapest of the three at $7.99 per month, while Amazon Prime works out to about $8.33 every 30 days, but still needs to be paid on a $99 annual basis. Netflix recently changed its streaming prices to account for more content, rounding out at $8.99 per month for the non-4K plan.
Hulu Plus是这三个版本中最便宜的,每月$ 7.99 ,而Amazon Prime每30天的费用约为$ 8.33,但仍需要每年支付$ 99 。 Netflix最近更改了流媒体价格以考虑更多内容,非4K计划的月租费为8.99美元。
亚马孙 (Amazon)
Though it shouldn’t come as news to anyone who’s owned a computer in the past 15 years, Amazon is the absolute easiest way to get anything and everything you need in life dropped on your doorstep in two days or less. Lightbulb just went out? Buy a pack of 30 on Prime. Kids need a new backpack, a pencil box, and notebook? Amazon’s got a back-to-school sale for that. What about that obscure Chinese tea that only your bodega on the corner carries?
尽管在过去的15年中,对于拥有电脑的任何人来说,这都不是新闻,但亚马逊绝对是获得一切的最简单方法,而且您在两天或更短的时间内将生活中所需的一切都扔到了家门口。 灯泡刚熄灭? 在Prime上购买一包30。 孩子们需要一个新的背包,一个铅笔盒和一个笔记本吗? 亚马逊为此进行了返校销售。 那只有拐角处的杂货店才能携带的那种晦涩的中国茶呢?
Yup, Amazon’s got it.
是的,亚马逊知道了。
I won’t have to tell anyone twice just how good the deals on Amazon are compared to local stores, and as long as you keep your Prime subscription active, shipping costs are 100% free. A Prime membership also comes with the added benefit of the company’s video service, which means all you’ll have to do is pop on a few episodes of Alpha House while a robot in a warehouse does the heavy lifting.
我不必再告诉任何人亚马逊在当地的交易与本地商店相比有多好,而且只要您保持Prime订阅有效,运输费用就可以100%免费。 Prime会员还具有公司视频服务的额外好处,这意味着您要做的只是在Alpha House的几集中播放,而仓库中的机器人则在繁重。
迷你吧 (Minibar)
If you’re lucky enough to live in either Dallas, San Francisco, New York, New Jersey, or Chicago, forget about going to to the bars. Who wants to sit in a loud, overcrowded dive with sports matches blaring off the TV when apps like Minibar allow you to order up all the alcohol you can stomach that shows up within an hour or less?
如果您足够幸运地住在达拉斯,旧金山,纽约,新泽西或芝加哥,那就不用去酒吧了。 当Minibar之类的应用程序允许您订购一小时或更短时间内可以吸收的所有酒精时,谁愿意坐在喧闹,人满为患的潜水中观看电视上的体育比赛?
Like pizza delivery for alcoholics, Minibar is a service which will bring any booze you and your Netflix marathon needs to really kick things up to 11 on a Friday night. The selection is plentiful, and as long as you aren’t a total beer or wine snob, it’s likely that their warehouse will be stocked with whatever your heart desires most.
就像送烟酒的比萨饼一样,Minibar是一项服务,它将带给您任何盛宴,而您的Netflix马拉松比赛需要在星期五晚上真正将事情提高到11点。 选择是足够的,只要您不是啤酒或葡萄酒的势利小人,他们的仓库就有可能储备您最想要的东西。
Get the party started on iOS or Android now, with free delivery for your first order (save for the mandatory tip), which raises to $5.99 after that.
立即在iOS或Android上开始聚会,您的第一笔订单免费送货(必须支付的小费),之后加至5.99美元。
后伙伴 (Postmates)
So, we’ve got our food, our movie, and a 2003 Suavignon Blanc poured and ready to go. What’s left?
因此,我们已经准备好食物,电影和2003年的Suavignon Blanc,准备出发了。 还剩啥?
Toilet paper! Phew, could have been a disaster if we forgot that one. Well, have no fear, because Postmates is here. Postmates is an app and an online portal which gives you the luxury of ordering food from local joints that might not deliver on their own (Chipotle is a standout selection), as well as picking and choosing random essentials for daily living from the Postmates general store. Basics like toothbrushes, ibuprofen, baby diapers and toilet paper can all be tagged onto your burrito order or picked up on their own, all at a price which isn’t more than a few cents more what you’d pay down the street at the local Walgreens.
卫生纸! ew,如果我们忘记那件事,那可能是一场灾难。 好吧,别担心,因为Postmates在这里。 Postmates是一个应用程序和在线门户,可为您提供从本地关节订购食品的奢侈功能,而这些食品可能无法单独提供(Chipotle是出色的选择),还可以从Postmates杂货店中挑选和选择日常生活必需品。 诸如牙刷,布洛芬,婴儿尿布和卫生纸之类的基础知识都可以贴在您的墨西哥卷饼上,也可以自己购买,而价格却不超过您在街上要多付的几分钱。当地的沃尔格林人。
The delivery fee will vary anywhere between $3.99 and $9.99 depending on how far your house is from the business you order from, while a service charge of 9% will be applied to the total order. Postmates is in 60+ cities in the US now, and growing rapidly.
送货费将在3.99美元至9.99美元之间不等,具体取决于您的房屋与您订购的业务的距离有多远,而总订单将收取9%的服务费。 目前,Postmates在美国60多个城市中,并且发展Swift。
居家办公 (Working from Home)
But of course, how are you going to keep paying for that monthly Hulu subscription if you don’t have a steady income rolling in? Even the laziest among the homebodies still need to put in a hard day’s work, and now with the help of the Internet, there are more ways than ever before to earn a living wage from the seat of your computer chair.
但是,当然,如果您没有稳定的收入,您将如何继续为每月的Hulu订阅付费? 即使是最懒惰的人,也仍然需要辛苦地工作,现在借助互联网,现在有了比以往更多的方法来从电脑椅上赚取生活费。
Websites like Elance, oDesk, Freelancing.com, and even Craigslist all have plenty of jobs that you can do without taking your pajamas off. Popular options in these fields include contract gigs like programming, coding, software development, freelance writing, graphic design, and 3D modeling.
Elance , oDesk , Freelancing.com甚至Craigslist之类的网站都具有很多工作,而您无需脱掉睡衣就可以做。 在这些领域中,流行的选项包括合同合约,例如编程,编码,软件开发,自由撰稿,图形设计和3D建模。
With enough contracts and employment recommendations under your belt, you can keep your wallet full and your vitamin D levels to a minimum at the same time.
有了足够的合同和就业建议,您就可以同时保持钱包满满并将维生素D含量降至最低。
Whether there’s a blizzard raging on the other side of your window or you only have 17 more episodes of The West Wing left in the queue, going outside is overrated. And now, thanks to the marriage of technology and a plethora of delivery services, almost all the essentials of life can be brought straight to your door in 30 minutes or less.
不管窗户的另一侧有暴风雪肆虐,还是队列中只剩下17集《西翼》,出门都被高估了。 现在,由于技术的融合和大量交付服务的结合,几乎所有生活必需品都可以在30分钟或更短的时间内直接送到您家。
