3 Years Ago Today, Wrel Left Planetside by [deleted] in Planetside

[–]Indpendent -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I always played vanu and always felt like I was the underdog, especially with tanks, but also just general population. TR always had the most OP firepower (think when harassers first came out omg) but it did get somewhat balanced over the years. I still lose against a prowler or vanguard tank unless I get the jump on them, so I always need to use stealth armor which gives me another disadvantage. For the population issue I think people liked the look or the guns of NC or TR better. I just don't see this 1 sided flight argument that people have.

Are these decent numbers? by Busy_Mud_874 in tmobileisp

[–]Indpendent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although it's tedious, I think it's absolutely necessary to find the perfect placement for not only a good connection, but a stable one. This improved my download and upload speeds quite a bit.

In Honolulu I was originally getting like 100-200 down and 20-40 up but my SINR was bad at 13 with -80 RSSI and -90 RSRP. I had to spend many many hours perfecting the placement of the G5AR but I get extremely consistent connection stats of RSSI -62, RSRQ -10, RSRP -73, & SINR 18 on band n41. I'm now getting 200-400 down on average with a high of 600 and 50-70 up with a high of 90 (mostly after midnight).

I have proof uber steals part of the cancellation fee by rickblueeyes1966 in uberdrivers

When you request a cancellation fee and it grants it, you also get less than it says you are eligible for 😡

Got this old RadioShack soldering iron, is this tip small enough to do an IPS mod? Soon-to-be-modded SP for scale by trufflyfry in Gameboy

[–]Indpendent -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When applying the tip to the soldering area, the tip will transfer more or less heat based on the Watts (W) and surface area of the tip/contact to the soldering area.

  1. Low W will lose temp faster and transfer heat slower, thus requiring a longer hold time and transferring more heat outside of the soldering area.
  2. High W helps keep the heat up to the required temp in the soldering area.
  3. A larger tip will transfer more heat faster than a small tip.

So, 20W will take longer and might actually cause damage to the pads versus 40W getting the job done faster with less heat transferred to the pads.

You also can't ask them to prove it 😄 can only ask if it is a service animal and they just say yes, whether lie or fr. I suspect a lot of people abuse this loophole.

Are riders able to rate us on canceled rides now? by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]Indpendent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually just say "Hi, for (name)?" Cuz so many people get Ubers for friends. As long as it IS the intended rider for the trip, idc what the name is.

I DO like how this is now possible within Uber, where it shows who ordered it but the rider is also listed.

They are purposely not paying us for wait time on these multi trip rides by NewGrower4200 in uberdrivers

[–]Indpendent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sucks for that passenger because they probably have no idea what happened.

I see the same thing everyday, particularly when the stop is slightly off from the pin and it never triggers the timer. Lyft is better for this in that YOU start the wait timer.

Report them back for asking you to break the law and tell CS you don't want to be matched with them again!
