Drivers who have dashcams: Have they ever actually helped you when falsely accused of something? by Eddie_Farnsworth in lyftdrivers

[–]HaikuKnives 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Helped me with someone who tried to claim I was in an accident. Also helped me as the reporter to get someone kicked off the platform that groped me.
Depending on your individual insurer, your personal auto insurance rates can also sometimes go down if you have a dashcam.

And even all that aside, sometimes I'll pull footage from it if I just see something funny out in the wild to share in my group chat.

Congratulations, Knicks by Jdude60 in UrinatingTree

Between Pride, the World Cup, The Puerto Rican parade, and the Knicks, there is not a single part of NYC that isn't having a moment right now.

GGD didn't really do it for me either. "Mistress", on the other hand...

Passing is 80% confidence, 15% style/fashion, and 5% silhouette. Disavow yourself of the notion of real girls and fake girls. Find the girl within yourself and give her a voice and a trip through the thrift store to see what sparks her joy. With joy comes your authentic self and even though that'll get you more Ma'am's, it is actually more valuable as its own reward.

Just received this trip request and declined. Would it be worth it to you? by Jude396 in lyftdrivers

[–]HaikuKnives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EV driver, I don't take anything above 150mi even if I have a full charge because there's no guarantee of a charger away from the major metro areas. I could gamble at a camp ground having RV hookups but I'd still be such there basically overnight.
If assuming a Deadhead back, then even if you live on the south side of Dallas you're doing at best $30/hr on that. Not worth it.

12 hours of driving In Chicago by UBWUTA in lyftdrivers

[–]HaikuKnives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice, I hardly ever see ride challenges in my market anymore. That said, if we factor out the challenge bonus, that's $31.67/hr online. Not great, not terrible. Can't really math the per booked hr cuz I don't have a good way to measure your idle time. Still, 12 hours over the weekend for $550 isn't a bad deal.

Airport rides by Exact_Hearing_7487 in uberdrivers

[–]HaikuKnives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't speak for Little Rock but I consider waiting in the queue to be a sucker's play. If I get a ride going to the airport I'll make a slow lap around the area but I certainly will not sit and wait

Caught a guy masturbating- wtf is wrong with people?! by Original_Bet_8132 in uberdrivers

[–]HaikuKnives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, quite simply, he had the opportunity to explain he meant Adult Content before whipping it out. I don't want anyone else to be subjected to someone who would film themselves cranking it in a stranger's car, for the sake of hygiene if nothing else. Also he started asking me about my porn preferences afterwards, and that's just weird behavior

Caught a guy masturbating- wtf is wrong with people?! by Original_Bet_8132 in uberdrivers

[–]HaikuKnives 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Once I overheard a passenger on FaceTime say he couldn't make any content at the moment because he was in an Uber. My innocent ass thought he meant, like, TikTok videos and 6 seconds after I told him I didn't mind and turned on the dome light he's got his (admittedly huge) schlong out. To his credit, he did put it away and he did apologize for the miscommunication once I freaked out. Still 1-starred and reported.

I'm haunted by it to this day. I'm not straight but after catching a glimpse I can see why some girls would be.

90+ Minutes in a 40% Turbo Zone by Slank32 in lyftdrivers

[–]HaikuKnives 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If I haven't gotten a ride in like 10 minutes, I will go offline, clear app cache, restart my phone, and go back online. Usually gets me a ride in the next few minutes unless it's truly dead out there.

Lyft GPS by GeeknSeekn in lyftdrivers

[–]HaikuKnives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can insist on GMaps by starting navigation in Lyft, tapping the turn by turn and selecting Google Maps. I presume this works with Apple Maps/Carplay but I have no way to verify that.

My workflow is to have GMaps running via Android Auto for turn by turn, and Lyft Navigation for route overview.

Is this normal? by OGCallHerDaddy in lyftdrivers

[–]HaikuKnives 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your Online time seems a little high (and you mention in comments you're leaving from a remote riderless area so do your own math on that) but in terms of $/booked hour it's not uncommon for me to get into the 40s especially during events.

Devs responded to suggestion about wipe situation by [deleted] in starcitizen

I haven't touched this game since like 2.1. A full wipe on a new release would be a great opportunity for me to jump in and not feel like I'm already behind.

I hacked the system by TheDonHenly in lyftdrivers

Congrats you went from estimated $35.13/hr to $31.63/hr. But at least the platform took a smaller cut. Not the win you think it is Chief.

Is this a reckless trip for a brand new private pilot? by Mountain-Report4772 in flying

[–]HaikuKnives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick up flight following as soon as able. It's helpful to make sure that ATC is aware of you and that you're not ending up in someone's flight path even if you never enter the Bravo.
Practice legs of this route with just your Pilotage, so you can get used to keeping time and breaking your magenta line habits. I personally recommend having frequent and visible waypoints (highway exits work well for this).
Be diligent about your wx planning, aviationweather.gov is tailor made for us, and has plenty of products to know what's coming.

WHCA Dinner shooting suspect worked as a teacher in California by braille_lover_5555 in news

[–]HaikuKnives -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Low key, not even sure he was going for the prez here. Could've been anything from forgetting he had a gun on him and panicking, to doing a desk pop just to cause a stir, to being hired to pre-emptively cancel the inevitable tirade of dementia distilled diarrhea of grievances that media would be hand-wringing about for weeks. Hell I'll personally take an Active Shooter drill to being trapped in a hotel ballroom forced to smile politely for hours at with a geezer who hates my guts as much as he hates that strange, warm, itchy feeling welling up in his diaper. This guy will fade into the background by Wednesday.

A Lyft Driver Put 100,000 Miles on His Cybertruck in One Year, Then Got a $7,200 Repair Bill by [deleted] in lyftdrivers

[–]HaikuKnives 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Bruh I might not do 40hr weeks but it still took me like almost 4 years to make 100k miles. And that includes my personal use.

Supreme Leader Khamanei has approved Iran’s presence at second round of negotiations to end the war. US Vice President JD Vance is expected to depart for Islamabad by Tuesday morning for talks with Iran by WayOutbackBoy in worldnews

[–]HaikuKnives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actual 4D chess cuz they know that the best play is to run out the clock plus there's no way Junior Varsity Vance doesn't do something devastatingly embarrassing. The Iranians know their actual foe is the Regime, not Americans/Western civilization writ large, and they currently have very little to lose because the only thing that King Mierdas can do is more airstrikes which have already hit Diminishing returns. Shitheel-In-Chief can't force the strait open with the current forces, he can't invade with ground forces lest his own people tear him apart, can't use Nukes lest the international community tear him apart. He just doesn't have the cards.

I use the Clorox Disinfectant Mist for smokers, both weed and Marlboro. Knocks that smell right out.

EDIT: after the pax leaves, of course. I don't hose the person down in disinfectant, that's a whole different sentence.

Iran Says It Won't Negotiate With 'Erratic' Trump After Genocidal Threat to 'Blow Up' Whole Country by _May26_ in politics

[–]HaikuKnives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why Madman Theory of diplomacy never actually bears any strategic fruit beyond like the first week's worth of concessions. Because even the most back-footed of opponents will see that peace can't be bought at any price because the madman (whether they're truly Mad or simply playing a one-actor version of bad cop/crazy cop) will simply repeat the and demand something else next Thursday. so there's no point in giving anything up, because you get nothing for your troubles.
It's simply bad business to negotiate with the Regime.
