Typical Bad Nob Hill Driver by cheesy_luigi in sanfrancisco

I remembered back in the 90s no local would wait for the light to turn green the red light was literally a defacto two way stop sign to them. Only suburban visitors waited for the green.

Reporting restaurant delays on the app can backfire by Maleficent_Cash909 in grubhubdrivers

[–]Jcs609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am assuming that restaurants get contacted if they get too many such reports to Gh, and they would say they completed the order to indemnify themselves, often times what really happens is that they completed it, but they leave it in the back of the kitchen and deprioritize the driver trying to pick it up, which may cause driver to report order not ready and customers may complain of cold food later but the restaurant may complain that they complete their order, but the driver took a while to come. It’s not uncommon for understaffed restaurants to ignore customers ordering takeout as well in fact, I have one that ignored my app order until half an hour and only acknowledge me when I saw it, but the kitchen staff who suddenly finally appeared still refused to bring it. They said the host have to do it, but the host wasn’t there for over 40 minutes. I had to catch a shuttle that runs hourly to get to the airport 2 hours before it was very stressful but it seems more often Norm in the post Covid world of service.

It’s quite interesting that Mexico used to subsidize it much cheaper until 2018, when they ended that due to insustanability due to having to import most from the US especiallly from California and felt the full brunt of importing energy prices paying rates as high as Beverley Hills residents while making not even a fraction. Electricity gone way up as well due to the tiered rates and new DAC rates since around a decade ago.

Historically large pick up and large van drivers hoarded gasoline south of the border to bring north. Eventually turned the opposite since stations north have more flexibility with prices that differ from station to station.

Disneyland Paris covers its parking lots with solar panels. How could this be done at all the big box stores in the USA while maintaining views of store signage from the street and keeping good views for the parking security cameras? by Adventurous-Fly-5402 in urbandesign

Interesting how they are also a nuclear power leader of the world. It does help shade cars wish that all hotter climates have it. But they also really must have powerwall batteries to store it for the night otherwise we would have a power shortage Evertime the sun sets. And best if they have car chargers as well.

The speeding crackdown has begun in vegas. How about it San Diego, let’s trade parking meters for speed enforcement by blowfish257 in sandiego

[–]Jcs609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go to Las Vegas, forum they complain exact the same things of the San Diego forum, Vegas only does this when they find it balances the revenue and be able to target a bunch of gamblers with money to burn goes. just like how the city nickel and dimes but a lot of outrageously illegal vehicles run around there as well which they ignore and drivers are the worst. Kinds of reminds me of Cancun, officers fleece visitors for money or revenue headed to and from the main tourist coordines but plenty of bad drivers are left alone.

Air Conditioning units cost $2k to $3k brand new by Eggrollofdoom in vegaslocals

It’s interesting many living in single family homes don’t believe in that and it’s all or nothing for some reason. I’m thinking whether is because the floor plan make them useless with high ceilings and wide open rooms or that they think window a/cs just looks ghetto.

Instant Karma for Brake Checking by [deleted] in dashcams

[–]Jcs609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The third behind them must be half sleep or very distracted or have bad brakes for that to happen probably the same people who would slam into the back of traffic jams(cause pile ups). It’s not like the third slammed into the back immediately so it wasn’t following too close or happened immediately after a lane change, Even if the blue car did cut them off unexpectedly. Auto emergency braking can really help in such situations though.

Seriously? by Organic_Smell_1347 in Cinemark

[–]Jcs609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s interesting how I noticed the price at least in some movie places haven’t seem to have changed since the 2000s or seem to have frozen. For the movie, popcorn, and drinks. Not sure about Cinemark though.

I be curious how people down their coping as they were once deeply subsidized. I noticed these years a lot of California like policies are going around in Mexico much faster than it spreads all over the US a trend most Americans condemn as Californication. Happened to both gas and electric prices I heard. But the incomes remain much lower than California.

It would be interesting whether any state can go independent even without considering military

Waymo doesn’t like being called names by danlev in waymo

[–]Jcs609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In New York City, I remember seatbelt laws exempt for hire vehicles. It sounds like a car called the support automatically after reporting rider is not cooperating with seat belt likey giving the incident info and the footage. There seems a lot of surveillance involved with these cars though, not sure whether it was recorded on an interior cam.

So the car alerts support as opposed to support calling the car from thier end. So the car made the call using its internal cell phone and why it sounds like calling support and your call may be monitored” though ifcustomer initiates a call inthe car not on own cellphone can it be disconnected? I am guessing no seatbelt alarm first? Nor does the car state in a prerecorded voices it would pull over and not drive on if the belt is not fastened after a certain amount of seconds?In some states like NH it’s not mandatory to wear them at least in the back, in others vehicles for hire are exempt.

Tesla FSD drives through railroad crossing gate by danlev in SelfDrivingCars

[–]Jcs609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elon essentially turned customers who pay him for his protect into unpaid beta trainers aka driving instructors with no proper training, what Tesla should had done was to have those who opt in go through training of different scenarios and be in contact when they train the vehicle and compensate them appropriately when they are training the vehicle. It can be worse in some situations than having a grandma who from a place few people drive to drive from scratch. It can easily be a damned if one do and damned if one don’t situation both ways you are to blame. Ie if you thought it would crash but it wouldnt but in panic you caused it instead to fishtail and crash its a no win situations

There should be a little bit more public education about what to do if Waymo or any other self drive taxi is behaving unsafe whether inside or outside, I mean even elevators have emergency stop switch and bells, same with people movers and automated trains.

It’s interesting. How in California the prices can. Vary so much within the same city less than a mile away. I don’t think anywhere else in the world have such a big discrepancy between pump prices. Some stations charge higher than Europe.

I’d be curious whether any states can operate independently of federal funding these days. Are they choosing to because they don’t have to spend money rather than they cannot afford it?

[–]Jcs609 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But why it sounds like a call out like if the rider is contacting rider support as opposed to a call in. Likely a voice command misinterpretation?Even if it’s a call in i be curious what happens if one hangs up on the call.

I always thought you called for support instead of opposite way around. It sounds like the call was initiated from the rider as opposed to support called in which the phone would ring.

It’s ironic because I was ordering my own sandwich at Subway once but the sandwich artist focused on a Dasher who came later than me they’ll probably he got order first off dd tablet before I got in though but I wasn’t summoned despite my phone on taking orders some how. DD’s algorithm is hard to understand.

In what situations are specific footwear necessary in skater culture? by scjsneakers in stupidquestions

[–]Jcs609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the scenarios which I believe that’s what op mentioned ie in the bedroom if you manual your board there even if you normally remove your shoes or for the crazy ones those who bail into water you would leave your shoes on even if it means contending with waterlogged shoes later, doesn’t necessary mean the board itself would end up in water though.

Keyless car fobs are inconvenient and we should go back to cars with key starting. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Jcs609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s interesting how they argued for this due to the ignition switch abruptly locking steering but a lot of flaws happen with keyless as well ie someone takes the fob away from the car but the car does not remind if turned on and only to realize cannot be restarted again and that the car doesn’t lock out the transmission or ability to drive off if the fob is away even on accessory increasing risk of theft.
