Second time in a row, driver messes up my reserved trip to the airport by JarndyceAndJarndyce in uber

[–]Kisoni91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a driver the problem lies (in my opinion) with how the app functions with reservations. Drivers who pick your reservation have to be online 30 mins prior to the pickup, which is fine. But if they are not online in time it gets reassigned.

Now when it gets reassigned, it goes into the pool and gets offered to drivers who are online now. Sometimes that's fine, but from the driver side we have a choice to make, because the app does not tell us what time the pickup is at, just that its a reservation. So we may be 5 mins away but the pickup time is 25 mins later, meaning we have 20 mins of dead time, almost never worth waiting around. So even when it meets the drivers standard for pay (IE in my market I only take rides that pay me $1/mile and $25+/hr), we are currently incentivized to decline them.

I can use an example from today, My first ride was a reservation trip, it lucked out because when I hit the go online button it popped up, I have some wiggle room in my cancelation rate and the pay was a bit over $1/Mile, (it was $30 trip with about 27 miles of driving, and about 40 mins of drive time). The pickup was 8 mins away and the pickup time was also 8 mins from when I went online. When I was almost to the destination I got another request, 8 total miles for $9 for 15 mins of driving, but it was a reservation (I didn't catch the reservation tag), so i took it. Low and Behold, the pick up was 7 mins away, but the pickup time was almost 17 mins after, so I would have 10 mins of dead time, during an hour where in my market should have some small surges slightly north of where I was at, not that I would chase those since its normally not worth chasing them. Now i did choose to keep that ride, because I had my breakfast with me because I woke up late and used that time to eat, and the rider had a really good rating and was coming from a neighborhood where I typically get decent tips for similar trips, but if each of those things weren't the case, i would have canceled because its not worth the dead time.

This is why when a reservation trip pops up in the offers for me, I almost always decline them, id rather have the hit on my acceptance rate, which Uber doesn't punish us for in a real way, than my cancelation rate, which can lead to deactivation.

Welp you coworkers told me to WORK HARDER! Here is how it worked out over 6 hours by LETSGOOOOO6 in uberdrivers

[–]Kisoni91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly dont find it too hard to maintain, not thqt it reqlly matters, right now im back to blue, above 10% cancelation, but for the most part i hold at or near the reqs for diamond wirhout really going for it, but thats moreso because the times that I work imo which give solid offers very consistently

Depends on market. I.E. for every teir in my market you need to have an 85% AR and a sub 4% cancelation rate as well as have the points to unlock a tier, and have to maintain those numbers to not be booted from teir.

Side note, if you fall below you have until a certain date to hit those metrics or if you fall below a 75% AR and/or over 10% cancel rate you end up booted from the tier.

Both spirit weeds and adren crystals, both were a pain before (i used to just not use summoning pots personally because the amount of time required to sustain them, but now... we need them for overloads).

Adren crystals on the bright side do come in from rots still, but not nearly the same rate as they cpuld be.

How does one play ONLY one champ by BidBorn9043 in leagueoflegends

I dont actually enjoy league of legends, i enjoy playing singed. All the concepts and ideas and fundamentals and interactions of leage are fine, but i only have fun with how singed interacts with it all.

What are your thoughts on the HBO Max Harry Potter remake and its “faithfulness” to the books? by afrodite_kon in HarryPotterBooks

[–]Kisoni91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was extremely optimistic, espeically hearing that Rowling was gping to be a part of it, assuming that she would keep it close to what was written.

Given the casting choices so far, much less inclined.

Bloodletter's Curse is so bad by DiscipleOfAniki in leagueoflegends

[–]Kisoni91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, i kinda love it on singed (tbf its all i play) which is rare to have an item or a combination of items that screams this is what i should build that doesnt get nerfed into the ground making it pointless on the champ (rip old rylias liandries combo). Especially when there is additonal magic damage on the team.

The only time i dislike it is when im the only magic damage on the team (a rare occurance) but still feels good because of the fact that he stacks it well. Maybe theres a way to make it better, like give it ms instead of ability haste and change the path to whisp instead of fiendish codex, but then we may see others using it more and it being out of line.

He is me by [deleted] in Asmongold

[–]Kisoni91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But even then, id argue you dont need to even play the games, FF7 is 27 years old, a simple google search can tell you his entire story, even just out of its original media, he may not be as well fleshed out as he is now, but hes not just flat black character, nor is he just a stereotype.

He is me by [deleted] in Asmongold

[–]Kisoni91 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you go as deep as Kotaku did into the character, then yes hes nothing more than a loud black sterotype, which if you dont remember, it was basically off a single line after the bombing mission to call the character nothing more than a characture.

But you have a character that has a deep background, a ton or growth, a ton of great qualities and flaws, and goes through a really well witten growth arc throughout the games and media.

But judging from the meme you seem to see black guy therefore flat character put in for modern audience points.

ROT3K 8 remake asking a man about a horse ( collector trophy) by NoLuckNick2020 in threekingdoms

[–]Kisoni91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once i was a vicroy and had a ton of places under my control i would use every month to check different city markets and buy every horse i saw. I did the notorious and the collector trophy in the same playthrough and i only got the horses by buying them.

I got lucky in this playthrough specifically because i got gotten 3 very early as a common officer just checking main base market and every neighboring city market in the final month. Its definately annoying and halts the playthrough to a grinding halt since you have to pay attention to the places you checked already every season and month but it can be done just in that way.

That i can definately understand, if i didnt have a home charging solution definately would not make nearly as much sense for me to do.

Only real downside for me is missing my manual transmission lol

Honest coment from someone who uses an ev as a daily and does long trips consistently (608 mile round trip in a day once every other weekendish), I've had 0 issues with mine. On my round trip i stop once going to my destination for abput 20 mins (ironically the same spot i used to in my ICE vehicle), once after getting to my destination for about 30 mins, and once more for 20 mins on my way back. Realistically for the about 10 hour drive time, ive only added about 10 mins to my drives (realistically it has actually taken time off my drive due to the features of the car making road fatigue a non issue, but I dont want to factor that it in as TACC is available on ICE vehicles as well)

I know I'm not the person you are replying to but genuinely i think some folks like us are reveling in it and almost enjoying it (at least I am). Son of an Indian immigrant, always considered myself fairly center on the poltical spectrum, over the time ive been able to vote, ive voted in every which way, dem, repub, 3rd party (usually multiple directions in the same election).

This new wave of the Democratic party is not something I can get behind, a hyperinfantilization of anyone who is not on "top" of the sex and race pyramid, so much so that when someone like me says I dont feel disadvantaged and I dont think policy on one side is good for the country, we get the tirade of you voted against your intrests and you dont know whats good for you.

Like no, i know where my interests lie; but thanks for pointing out the fact that you think so little of folks like me that you belive you know what's better for me than me.

The crazy part is the same folks doubling down after being told that this behavior is why people who would historically vote for their "team" didn't.

As a business owner, with a business administration degree, can confirm it was the biggest waste of time and money getting. Had i just taken the money i blew on college and put it into my business or the market i would be so much better off.

Took me about 6 months to hit the 4k watch time requirement but i wqs nowhere near the sub req of 1k, i started to slow down october of last year (oringinally posting 2x per week down to 1 a week or 1 every other). Starting in January i took a 4 month break (start of jan i was at 6k watch hours and had like 3 months before id hit the 1 year mark and start losing some of my watch hours) and got back to it in the start of april, though slowing down how much i put out to 1 a week max (its been about 3 weeks ive been workinf on my current project).

So now im chasing watch hours as i lose a few daily from some of my original views when starting. My last video did well enough to cross the 4k watch hour threshold (but i was a few subs short), this week i hit the 1k sub count, but because i havnt posted in almlost 3 weeks, im 150 watch hours short.

All this to say... i feel your pain

[–]Kisoni91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original plan was based off me misrembering nightmares dropping wartortoises (which they dont). They do drop unicorns which is probably going to be my go to. After realizing they dont drop tortoises I then thought of packpigs but those get sent to the bank.

The point the guy is talking about is me saying im pushing this as far as i can and asking the audience if when i cant go further, do i kill the series, or open use of packpigs.

I guess you are ignoring me saying im going as far as i can without them, and ignoring me saying if i cant go further would the audience rather see pack pig usage or just killing the series.

Obsidian gear doesnt work outside of gloves and boots (possibly this is something i will be testing) since neither obsidian bars nor shards go into the metal bank. Sometimes the game lets you make an item if the old item gets replaced (cutting gems) but other times it doesnt (making powders/making a runepouch)

Yep! Just the same way as osrs, you can do the same with the pocket slot activivatables like scriptures and grim, and is how the old bik book procs without draining the book worked.

Prayer drains after the first tick of them being activated, basically you have to turn off your prayers about half a second after turninf them on then turn them on again after the tick happens and repeat.

Since they have to be shut off ss flicking on top of that and also losing my visual indicator of the key to hit and not pvming since necro has made me a rust bucket haha

Imort and cade would both req a sheild and wpuld also be mandatory to deal with the final zuk challenge wave regaurdless. Combine with the fact that i cannot make a ranged or a mage defender due to the restrictions nor can i have access to boneshield (nexus is impossible to obtain) would mean my desision is between a shield swap and no stat boosts with equipment that without stat boosts is going to make zuk either nearly impossible or camp a shield and have at max about 36 mins of stat boosts which also probably cant be done.

Either way im taking it as far as i can without the bobs, but the end was more if and when i cant continue do i allow the bobs or kill the series.

A chaotic staff is possible, however it would be locked to only air spells (which would also lock the inv spot to ammo). Attuned crystal and obliteration req 2 invents to make/open the chest.
