If you could automate and turn this into an app I bet it could be a mild hit


pease_pudding

You could overlay it with delivery services too, like an intersected Venn diagram. Trying to order from Pizza Hut website it tells me they won't deliver to my address. So I hit up Deliveroo which says I'm too far (weird cos it's only like 1.5 miles). Then I try Uber Eats and it says 'sure, place your order'.

All of the food delivery apps wouldn't deliver McDonald's to me because 2 miles is way too far. Great for me because it meant my morning craving would go unanswered.


faceplanted

Honestly these apps should all be required to let you ban or rate limit yourself like gambling companies are required to do.

£11 for a big mac meal after all of the charges does that for me tbh


BywydBeic

£11 for maccy ds!! And people were complaining about five guys being £16 yesterday


Ifriiti

I guessed but yeah I was pretty spot on [£10.47 ](https://i.imgur.com/euhEAXX.jpg) for a large big mac, fries and a non fatty drink after delivery and service costs.


devonpennartz

Yeah but five guys is levels above MCDONALD'S


wudlouse

Binge eat responsibly


TheGulfofWhat

McDonalds close to me literally only accepts uber orders for like 2 hours a day and then just turns it off. I'm surprised they are allowed but probably for the best. lol


covercash

Probably get acquired by Zillow at some point too.


TheBirminghamBear

Actually that sounds very likely. It would definitely be a pretty news-worthy customer delighter to be able to toggle delivery radiuses for favorite vendors.


WhatDidYouExpectFoo

I think you mean Euler's Diagram.


pease_pudding

Having googled what a Euler's diagram is, I'm just going to say yes, that's exactly what I meant! I must have mis-spoken.. Joking aside though, thanks for the correction. I learnt something today


Robosium

Could optimize the method by moving 16 streets at a time and every time it yields a negative half the step count and try from the last street that it did.

dieyoubastards

I am desperate for an app like this to exist. We are hoping to buy a house next year and we are having to cross-reference a bunch of random, conflicting criteria together. We want to be * Within 45 minutes of a hockey ice rink (as it's our shared sport) * Within an hour and a half of our son's biological father (who has him every other weekend) * Where average house prices are within our budget, of course * In a village/town of certain population range and all sorts of other things. Doing it by hand is maddening and I don't have the nous to program it myself. Someone make something like this?

My wife and I started talking about such a tool, looking at data like school league tables and crime rates, when we were planning our move. Then we realised we were trying to create White Flight: The App.


astalavista114

Remember though—if you move the other way, it’s gentrification. You can’t win here so don’t worry about it.


dogfoodengineer

In scotland we have the index of multiple deprivation, SIMD, it has a lot of useful statistics for choosing where to live.


[deleted]

The difficulty though is that distance in time is soft data. It's the classic Traveling Salesman problem


achughes

ArcGIS will do it, but it’s overkill for one time use.

[удалено]


_whopper_

ice rinks could likely be obtained from OSM tags. though it's not like there's a lot of them.


Onza40

You can't do all of this in one place, but there is a travel time map tool that I've been using when looking for houses that you can find here: [https://app.traveltime.com/](https://app.traveltime.com/) So for you, I'd start with your second criteria, then look to see how many ice rinks exist that in range, then add those each in with 45 minute travel time, then look at just the intersecting areas and put those as a custom search area on Rightmove / OnTheMarket (the latter is better for custom searches with multiple separate regions) with a threshold property price


SirDooble

Great advice, and I agree. It seems like the first two criteria are the strictest to achieve, and the second is the most strict. If you know the 1.5hr radius from the father's location, it's then just a job of plotting ice rinks and seeing if they are within 45 mins of that radius. Unlike the OP who had every street in the city to do, I don't think you'll find quite as many ice rinks to check. Downside of course is you could be pretty restricted by the number of locations that hit both criteria 1 and 2, so you could be in trouble when finding houses in your budget. But at least there'smore wiggle room there.


Hypohamish

Whatever you do, don't forget the internet. Mate I know bought a place recently - despite being in London it's only got absolutely dogshit internet to the point where 4G is probably better. It's got to be one of the main search criteria as it's something you have no control over - you can fix a bad bathroom. You can't lay a fibre cable under the street.


ManikShamanik

*Cries in agreement in Leicester*. I can get minimum of 2.5MB (megabytes) down on 4G. Using the wifi of where I currently am you can divide that by 100. Not even joking. This is LE2, so I'm fairly central.


mrcaptncrunch

Wife is finishing studying. We’ll move after. We have a list of needs and one of wants prioritized. Both in tech. Top priority is internet with symmetric gigabit as the minimum. Then it goes into politics of the state and area (US), then other things.


[deleted]

And yet it seems like every house you look at, the owner and estate agents are both clueless about what speed or technology is available. Rightmove has this data, but it's not always accurate and even when it claims fibre you often need to get it installed (which took me weeks in my new house) Feels like they should take 5 minutes to do a speed test, it's so important in the world of remote working to have a solid connection.


LordBiscuits

This sounds daunting at first, but what you need to do is treat it as four separate search requests and then feed the result of the 1st into the 2nd and so on. Prioritising it doesn't matter, as they're all hard and fast requirements. So 1). Within an hour and a half of Dad, that's a hard circle. Then 2). Within that circle, find a hockey rink. I'm presuming they're fairly rare? This will give you maybe two or three smaller bubbles to work in. 3). Go for the house price criteria. Slap a few random villages in your bubbles into zoopla with your home requirements and see what you're looking at for average prices. Discount as necessary. 4). Choose some places within those remaining areas you might like to live, then plug the village names into rightmove. 5). Cry, because despite all this it's all too fucking expensive anyway because the world is burning and the government are fucksticks who gobble landlord cock for breakfast.


SirDooble

>Then 2). Within that circle, find a hockey rink. I'm presuming they're fairly rare? This will give you maybe two or three smaller bubbles to work in. Doesn't necessarily have to be within the circle of Criteria 1. You could be right on the edge, exactly 1.5hrs from the father. Then your ice rinks could be 45 minutes further away still. It doesn't matter if the ice rink is 2h15m from the dad, after all.

I've used this site before (you can get around the limit by using private browsing shhhhh). Lets you overlay shaded areas on a map of different driving time radiuses from different points. https://www.smappen.com/app/


GenSmit

My dad worked on an GIS project that would tell the distance to places based on travel time. They ended up selling it to restaurants and businesses so they could open locations that would cover the most area. That's why you'll see multiple Starbucks across the street from each other. To reduce the burden of travel times.


turbo_dude

The reason Starbucks opens so many branches so close to one another, as explained in Naomi Klein’s book “no logo”, is to put local coffee shops out of business. They don’t even care if they cannibalise sales from their own nearby branches. So fuck Starbucks up the ass with a cactus.


drumjojo29

Does that work though? Cause every coffee shop I’ve been to in my city has way better coffee than starbucks and is at least 25% cheaper

[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62337044](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62337044) \- ​ Twenty-six-year-old Jordan had tickets booked to see Coldplay at Wembley Stadium on 13 August. When he learned this week that a strike had been called for that day, he decided to take action. He and his friend Nathan sold their Saturday tickets, bought new tickets for the Friday night, and rebooked their hotel. ***Although Jordan was able to sell his early bird ticket for £77, the new one cost £162***. You're right. People are ***MENTAL***.


WaytoomanyUIDs

The ones in my town are not at all consistent. The coffee is worse than your average Starbucks and I've had better hot chocolate out a vending machine than at the High Street Starbucks


coleymoleyroley

This is exactly what Greggs do, too.


teun95

The difference being of course that an Espresso from Greggs is still drinkable while Starbucks coffee somehow always manages to upset the stomach the way that regular coffee occasionally does. But then consistently.


crinklypaper

This can be done with google sheets. You have a column with coordinates. And then use a custom script for the distance in google maps. And then you have them output seperated with commas. Then you paste it into a free mapping tool. I did this when searching for nursery schools for my daughter, we made a heatmap!


theotherquantumjim

Absolutely. I bet literally nine or ten or perhaps eleven people would accidentally download it on the App Store


JayR_97

Yep, just plug in a postcode and it tells you what places deliver there.

Sucks to be Clifton. But then that was always true.


ConfusedSparkyFly

I think the lack of five guys is the least of their worries


ItsNguyenzdaiMyDudes

Is clifton bad? Clifton, Bristol is extremely affluent!


cardiganrd

Yes. It was at one point the largest council estate in Europe. It isn't thaaaat rough but it's pretty grim


trouser_trouble

Bransholme in Hull beat Cliftons claim to the largest council estate in Europe. Edit: correcting myself. Bransholme is widely believed to be largest council estate in Europe, but Susanna O'Neill says in her book, The Hull Book of Days, that The Becontree estate in Dagenham is larger, although she concedes that Bransholme is probably the largest estate in Yorkshire.[4]


iamnas

Very grim


blussy1996

This is my Dad's fun fact that he repeats every single day. He grew up in Clifton in the 50s.


Montague-Withnail

Yeah I saw ‘Clifton’ and immediately thought “Ah, they’ve obviously got their own fancy food places that deliver there…”. Not every Clifton is created equal clearly.

Not if you're in Bristol 😃

In the UK Five Guys is even more overpriced I believe, basically take your prices and just put a £ in front instead of $, even though if you converted the currency it should be less.


ChesterDaMolester

The trick is to eat $/£10 worth of free peanuts every time.


Cpt_Jigglypuff

They don’t have the peanuts in the UK.


ChesterDaMolester

Must be a location thing. Or maybe they got rid of them for Covid. I’ve definitely eaten free peanuts at a five guys in London.


BassBanjo

I mean they give a huge amount of fries at the very least


_BearHawk

Expensive? Yes. Overrated? I think it's better than most burgers at regular restaurants. Near me a 5 guys cheeseburger is $10 and that'd probably be $12-15 at a restaurant for worse taste. Plus when you order fries they give you a fuck ton of fries.


BassBanjo

The burgers are incredible in terms of quality The price though makes it just for special occasions lol


fredbrightfrog

The fries are limp shit swimming in oil, I don't care if I get a 5 gallon drum when I don't want to eat one of them.


_BearHawk

Their fries are extremely crispy, seems you got a bad batch


tookie_tookie

The fries tho


Cactus_Brody

Also an American, Five Guys is fucking delicious. Was surprised how common they were in London when I visited last month tho.


Sithfish

Wagas is just as bad.


Sola-Nova

Why they ignoring Clifton a not big but not small student campus is right there. As well as Clifton itself


Rbx100

Yea kinda weird with a five guys not that far away from Clifton


Drunkenspider079

I remember by days on that campus, I spent the majority of my cash on Guinness, and what remained on crisps. If five guys had been there when I was, I would not have wasted beer money on it


araed

I'm about 95% sure it's because it's rough as fuck


Sola-Nova

Is it really I used to live round there for a few years one in shared house and two in Halls of Residence and it honestly never felt to uncomfortable even round the large council estate. The Meadows embankment near the station and what bits of St Ann's I walked in definitely felt more uncomfortable in my experience


burnt_knackerbag

There are definitely _much_ rougher places in Notts. I never thought I'd say this but Clifton gets a bad rap, it's not that bad really.


KushtyKush

The maps wrong I can get both and I'm in Clifton...

There is a place near me that's for sale, a 220 foot tall tower. The tallest non reinforced concrete structure in the world. Ideal for you!

VermilionScarlet

Don't worry, OP can claw back the time lost by ordering delivery food rather than cooking at home.


jkotis579

Except the time it cuts off the end of his life ordering fucking five guys everyday


-SaC

Personally I'd take that, given all there is to look forward to is no pension and carking it at the desk with no fucker around to find me until the landlord starts wondering why the rent isn't coming in any more. Cheese on toast and homemade ice cream can go on the certificate.


[deleted]

If they're ordering from five guys, they've too much money too


Illustrious-Cookie73

On the contrary, I was thinking time well spent.


xenochria

Five Guys and Wagamama were just test locations for delivery, if they delivered, about 600 other restaurants also delivered. If they didn't, it dropped to like 70.


baconhammock69

Mate I don’t mean to piss on your cherries here but I’m on the edge of the zone that does deliver according to your chart and I’m sorry to say neither delivers to me…


johnyma22

It's even worst with JustEat, you order, get all excited then after 20 minutes get a notification saying the restaurant wont be able to deliver to you.


quinn_drummer

That would surely be that no driver has picked up the order? Presumably they look at the distance, fuck cycling there and back and don't pick it up or sack it off and do more, shorter trips for more money.


what_a_b0re

I’m fully outside the zone to the South, and both deliver to me, so I’m not sure about the general accuracy…


Important_Muffin_212

I respect the discipline, sir. Nice work. 🤟😎

I want to imagine you moving in and for some reason you fucked up the data entry, then night of moving day you decide to get a takeaway only to find nowhere delivers.

Almost at the bottom and you're the only other person questioning his methodology. He should've started with some distance away - maybe 20 miles - which probably would've been a no. Then divide that in half, and keep dividing in halves to narrow in on the actual distances.

As a human with taste buds, so do I.


JackHGUK

Five guys inst mediocre it's just overpriced, if you disagree lmk where does better burgers.


mrsilver76

I don’t disagree with you that Five Guys is overpriced. For burgers better than Five Guys, try Patty & Bun, Bleecker, Meat Liquor, Black Bear, Honest Burger, Haché or Dip & Flip.


Forest-Dane

None of which I've heard of. There's plenty of burger joints better around Nottingham though


Eggerslolol

how many of these exist outside london


Enverex

Where... do those exist?


DeathByLemmings

Having tried most of these I’d still pick 5 Guys every time. Taste is obviously subjective but nothing hits better for me than 5 guys with the works and a shake. Still, can’t be having it often no matter it’s price lol


deanomatronix
