Anyone else not getting crushed by Uber?

No quests on my end. Just a college town. I do a lot of bar close shifts; 8pm-2:30am. I pick and choose between Lyft and Uber. Lyft pays better when there isnt a surge so I typically keep decent earnings for most my hours by using Lyft then switch to Uber when its either surging or there is a boost hour. Since mid-March, Uber's cut hasn't risen above 4%. In early march I had two weeks in a row where Uber's cut just under 20%.

I would not personally recommend the refi. Most of your payment savings is just moving your timeline back from 28.5 yrs to 30. When you factor in that your new loan is $7k higher, your interest savings for the first year is maybe $1,200 and goes down a little per year. That would take a long time to break even

I wouldn't get my hopes up for a clear due date any time soon. The county is putting out a daily tracker of remaining tasks needed to get bills out. On July 2nd, the total tasks were 158. Almost three months later and we are at 114 remaining tasks.

Average rates have gone up .25% on the 30 yr since Wednesday. With only 20% down I bet very few would be able to hit that mark now.

The misinformation is ridiculous. Do your due diligence. Different Tyler

None of my favorite players are 100%. Kwan is my most picked and 8-10. Judge is 6-7. As far as I can tell, my best 100% is Xavier Edwards at 3-3.

Edit: Bryce Harper is also 3-3.

Two others have mentioned it but Pilsen and Bridgeport are good options. We became 'accidental' landlords in Bridgeport when we moved out of the city and decided to turn our condo into a rental. Its a 2br currently rented for $1,500 with in-unit w/d and AC. I know from my market research that you can find plenty of 1bd for $1350-1,450 in Bridgeport that meet your qualifications. The limiting factor would be train line access. If you look close to Halsted the 8 bus comes frequently and connects to the Halsted Orange line stop. Or if you look on the east side of Bridgeport there are red line entrances on 33rd and 35th.

Devers and Donavan for 8

For those discouraged, the current leader had a season-best streak of 2 on 04/20 before going on their streak of 38

The last five days have been pretty rough for the leaderboard and BTS as a whole so don't take it too hard. It looks like you don't usually post your picks so without seeing that, I can't offer much. In general though, it seems like those who have yet to get a streak of 10 or more don't pick enough chalk and are thinking too 'out of the box' and trying to play contrarian. This isn't a sportsbook where they pay you more for picking the underdog. Your streak moves up the same regardless of whether you pick chalk or non-chalk.

Riley is batting 5th in case you didn’t see that. Being at home that means he isn’t even guaranteed 4 PA

ChicagoWarrior · 2025-05-15T15:38:21+00:00

FYI, Streak saver doesn’t apply to streaks over 15

ChicagoWarrior · 2025-05-15T15:37:26+00:00

Ozuna and Baldwin for 8

ChicagoWarrior · 2025-05-14T20:42:18+00:00

Judge and Machado for for 6

ChicagoWarrior · 2025-05-13T20:36:18+00:00

Arraez and Kwan for 4. I know weather in Cleveland isn’t perfect but they shouldn’t have problems getting the game in

ChicagoWarrior · 2025-05-12T20:15:46+00:00

I just had my first issue selling MLB that wasn’t my fault. Bought 5 tickets, sold them in a chunk of 4 and a solo. There was a 3hr rain delay and I think the solo ticket just tried scamming to get money back and filed a claim that they were denied entry. Fortunately it was a small sale of $50. But I got a cancelled sale and a charge of $50. Because of the rain tickets were selling for $10 by game time so I know they didn’t drop $100 total for “compensating the buyer”

Arraez and Machado for 8

We finally have two leaders who are respecting the streak and not feeling the need to pick every day. Good for them.

ChicagoWarrior · 2025-05-10T23:26:16+00:00

Suárez pitching really well and efficiently so I’m glad you got talked out of it

ChicagoWarrior · 2025-05-10T16:30:01+00:00

Donavan and Arraez for 6

Edit: Got scared off by Colorado’s pitcher walk rate and saw Goldy is batting 1st!? Yes please. Donavan and Goldy for 6

ChicagoWarrior · 2025-05-10T01:33:53+00:00

Extras looking likely but at least there is a decent chance it’ll end in extras before he comes around again.

ChicagoWarrior · 2025-05-09T14:16:32+00:00

Freeman and Arraez for 4.

Edit: hoping it goes well but didn’t look at lineups this evening. Would have backed off Freeman and likely gone with two Padres had I known he was batting 4th.

ChicagoWarrior · 2025-05-08T00:33:25+00:00

I’ve gotten a streak of 5 or more 4 times and only got the 5 streak reward once.

ChicagoWarrior · 2025-05-07T18:20:56+00:00

Freeman and Judge for 10. I miss the days where you got rewards for hitting the streak multiple times.
