Huh. I was today years old when I learned about HTTP 406 Not Acceptable. Apparently Doordash doesn't like something NordVPN is doing to my net traffic, because disabling it lets me load the page. All I wanted was to see if my favorite pho restaurant was on there, geez.

(Content negotiation didn't catch on much among webmasters, and returning the closest available match is usually better than a 406, so it's not that common.)
Possible Info-Environmental Dragon Stare at whoever decided to trample on it.
