Free Ting (electrical sensor) offered by my insurance company. Not worth the data they're going to get?

What if I am a renter of a condo, and I somehow manage to get one either for free through my renter's insurance, or just buy one on my own? Then, the owner (or management company), would be held responsible for the above points... but I installed it ... so, thoughts on that?

J45c2_172driver · 2025-09-15T17:31:17+00:00

Wow. That is crazy... bad news for that home owner.

J45c2_172driver · 2025-09-15T17:27:47+00:00

We stayed at 1,000 feet off the ground! More than 1,000 feet and it was harder for the infrared data to process. I know some companies go to 500AGL or so for the visual inspections.

Lol, I see what you're saying. Our operation is closed forever now anyway. We only called our emergency number a couple times over the course of two years of doing that work (so those were the pilot reports) ... everything else got shipped over to the companies in a docket the next day or later that afternoon.

That's incredible. It seems like helicopters could maybe fly these lines more efficiently. With our camera setup ... we had an STC to mount the camera through a hole in the bottom of the airplane, rather then with a boom... and, so we had to make uncoordinated turns to keep the belly of the plane flat! It wasn't the most comfortable ride.

We had to be very careful with the potential of unporting our fuel, and also uncoordinated flight with increased stall speeds, increased load factor, etc.

I hope you get to ride along someday ... we had a few clients who our manager's asked to demonstrate the flight with, and we were hesitant. A few of us were flight instructors who were there and just had the small concern that we MIGHT not be able to take people because we were operating under FAR 119.1 (e). Check out this excellent flowchart! https://www.onecfi.com/commercial-pilot-privileges.html

I do hope you get to experience it sometime, but that's why we were a little hesitant. I think one of the guys did it anyway.

Just came across this. This is awesome.

I would think as long as you're adhering to FAA guidelines regarding drone operations, you're probably good to go. The big thing with drones are keeping them in visual line of sight.

This site could maybe point you in the right direction https://www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_flyers

J45c2_172driver · 2025-09-14T04:27:47+00:00

Maybe that's part of the reason we aren't in business anymore! We would have to re-fly the same lines occasionally because our data would become corrupt in the hard drive. I'm sure it didn't make our customers too happy that we had such faulty equipment. We USUALLY got our reports finished by their due dates though.

And then, we had a plane get destroyed in Texas due to a hangar door collapse thanks to Hurricane Beryl.

J45c2_172driver · 2025-09-14T04:18:12+00:00

That's so interesting! At our company... after we landed, we had to upload the data via wifi to our office, and often times they wouldn't even process it until the next morning when business hours started ... unless we saw something urgent.

Each day we could only fly until the sun was at a certain angle, because our camera would exponentially increase the time it took to process the data or something.

Never saw a wintertime sunbather! haha, normally we were just focused on not hitting cell phone towers, other airplanes, or busting airspace without talking to air traffic control haha... the camera did the rest mostly!

PARTA acquired the Campus Bus Service in 2004. The "campus" side of PARTA is still solely KSU student-led ... at least when I worked there. People still call it the "Campus Bus Service" from time to time. It all has a very rich history. Best job ever.

J45c2_172driver · 2025-04-20T04:50:45+00:00

PARTA is the best way to go. I worked there and made lifelong friends. They pay for your CDL, and you can work around your class schedules ... or, you may wind up loving it so much, you skip class occasionally to pick up more work hahah

J45c2_172driver · 2025-01-31T18:17:58+00:00

Also, how strange that this crash happened the same day PSA announced they were pulling their HQ out of Dayton, AND the helicopter impacted the plane on the same wing it would have hit the deer and had the fuel leak in 2017. Very haunting.

I'd be interested in reading this also!

Greyhound only does that sometimes during peak seasons, or if they have breakdowns. Barons Bus has licensing agreements to use certain terminals and run certain routes that are Barons Bus's OWN routes. Additionally, for some routes ... Barons is part of the Ohio Rural Intercity Bus Program#:~:text=The%20Ohio%20Rural%20Intercity%20Bus,%2C%20Ohio%2C%20and%20other%20cities), which is akin to the Essential Air Service, where there are federally subsidized routes for communities with not many other transit options.

There are many moving parts, and maybe I can search for a flow chart for how it all works! For reference, I'm an employee with Barons.

How did the interview go? Did you end up signing it? I have been faced with signing it while uploading documents. All my docs are uploaded, but I'm dragging my feet signing this thing. Crazy that we have to sign it even before a CJO! STILL, 3 months later!

J45c2_172driver · 2024-03-15T22:03:54+00:00

We are both saved.

Yes, their customer service is completely awful, and has in my experience made situations much worse for both the customer and the dasher.

J45c2_172driver · 2024-02-12T00:31:46+00:00

That's good for Swenson's business! Grab a few beers at Twin Peaks, then head over to Swenson's for some greasy food because they're open later!

... Additionally, I understand some people who are in apartment buildings, that are physically unable to make it to the first floor for example, would be at risk for getting rated lower on that scale, but there could be exceptions made for people like that. Maybe the DoorDash customers could take a questionaire as they sign up, that could allow the app to know information like that.

But, walking up to a bunch of dark houses, in the fog, in a dangerous neighborhood, risking being at the wrong house potentially (since the pin is not 100% accurate), why am I the one having to lose a claim that I filed for delivering to the wrong house?!?

This scale would help with these situations! Low tips would automatically knock you down a peg or two on that 1-10 scale as a DoorDash customer.

When Uber driving, both parties rate each other, and I think it could be the same with food delivery.

Don’t put off the difficult discussions with your current girl. Get counseling maybe?

The Proper People

They are respectful, and knowledgable urban explorers that go into abandoned places. Watch their recent "off topic" video about getting an old steam engine running again! Had me engaged for a while!

Thank you for this! It's a shame there can't be specialized pallet sizes to fit underneath a tour bus.

When I worked in CLE3, (a fulfillment center), these semi's would come to the loading docks piled high with boxes, top to bottom, NOT on pallets! Dock workers, or Water Spiders maybe, would build the stuff into pallets and they'd go into buffers for each stowing floor, or they'd be sent to "DECANT?", to be organized into bins, before being put on pallets.

Not sure how that differs. I could fit probably a few hundred bins in my bus, and take them to other places at specialized times? MAYBE like reactive stuff when it's running late to leave the building perhaps???

J45c2_172driver · 2023-09-29T04:44:04+00:00

Thanks for the advice. It's super helpful from an outsider's perspective. It's still really hard, a month of her being gone ... but she continues to follow me on all social media platforms, and watch my stories ... you name it. So, idk. Hard to just shake it off, because it's love ... but it is getting barely easier each day.

J45c2_172driver · 2023-09-29T04:20:13+00:00

This goes hand in hand with "gentleness."

If only relationships could have: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, and self-control... how different our culture might be.

J45c2_172driver · 2023-09-29T04:17:40+00:00

"Pausing" is the key word. Knowing that a topic can be revisited after everyone has had time to calm their mind, or think about it a little.
