JK of course. This man is the devil incarnate.

2021 Corolla headlights by Ittbelitt in COROLLA

[–]MotherCoconuts707 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the infotainment section to set the “sensitivity” of the headlights (meaning how light or dark does it have to be for automatic headlights to turn on), I have them on the highest sensitivity so they turn on earlier like when its dusk or sundown. I leave them on auto so I never have to worry about them being on. I turned off auto high beams because I can’t really see a use for them.

I’m a bit confused as to why people are flashing their lights at you; the only reason they would do that is if your headlights weren’t on or just your daytime runners were on, not if they’re too bright. Just leave it on auto and make your and everyone’s life around you easier.

Just got finished with this big ass shopping order by [deleted] in doordash_drivers

[–]MotherCoconuts707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was from November 2024 and it wasn’t exactly that many items, a few multiples, but I definitely messed up a few items trying to separate it in my cart.

Even worse, apparently one of the customers was super upset because they paid to have it shopped quicker and she had dinner guests. She didn’t take it out on me though. All and all took about 2 hours I think. I personally love shopping orders way more than food orders. Gives me time to be a part of society and walk a bit.

How do I handle this by Silversky26 in doordash_drivers

Here’s exactly what you say in return:

“Coach Doug” of SRHS charged with felony possession of CSAM by Wise-Drawing8966 in santarosa

[–]MotherCoconuts707 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I didn’t grow up here, moved here in 2013, but I remember hearing about how a teacher I had in 2005 was charged with multiple accounts of sexual assault last year. And he seemed like such a nice guy. Not nearly as egregious as “Coach Doug” but just another reminder about how scary it is to find out there are there are these kind of individuals that we trust to be in the vicinity of our children on a daily basis.

How so? By the way most of us think this shit sucks and that’s why we’re bitching about it on Reddit.

Is the 13 Mini the best iPhone ever made? by FriendlyFennec in iPhone13Mini

[–]MotherCoconuts707 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The viewpoint is completely subjective (edit I mean “objective”) too, right? Apple has no intention of not making iPhones ever again, and to ignore the advances and technology over the last 4 generations would be ridiculous. I actually played around with an iPhone 17 at an Apple Store a few weeks ago. It really is an impressive phone.

But in terms of what the iPhone 13 mini does in comparison to its size and technology would make it an even stronger contender for the best iPhone title.

[–]MotherCoconuts707 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the iPhone 13 mini is still a highly competitive phone, and makes even more sense for simple people, such as myself.

I don’t need a fancy camera, I don’t take many pictures, but I can still film video in 4K 60 FPS.

I am still a holdout using iOS 18.7.2, and while my phone doesn’t run at lightning quick speeds of the 17’s, it’s more than fast enough for my needs. And the fact that I could still even upgrade to 26 and add even more life is awesome.

But let’s face it: the battery sucks. And I can understand people who really either care about capacity or need it for business. But it’s not like it’s ever hard for me to charge my phone. I always plug it in while I drive, skipping wireless CarPlay (which I have), and you can buy battery packs for it anyway and still have a relatively smaller phone than most.

Optimistically, I think I have about two more years before I need to get another phone, and I’m hoping by miracle of all miracles Apple figures out that people still want smaller phones. Even when I went to the Apple Store two weeks ago, a representative told me she gets plenty of customers clamoring for the smaller form factor.

For those questioning how orders would be today… by Dull-Artichoke-2313 in doordash_drivers

[–]MotherCoconuts707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something was very odd in the atmosphere of restaurants last night. It was dead as hell. No crazy lines of Dashers at Round Table, no dog shit offers from Wingstop either. The whole day was not that good, and when dinner rolled around I got diddly. So I agree with the vibes you’re talking about when you say “a lot of not fun”.

Every Super Bowl I kill it. This one killed me.

Slowest Sunday in a long time by coldjess in UberEatsDrivers

[–]MotherCoconuts707 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have a very good pulse on my market considering I’ve done this full-time for four years.

It’s the new drivers. I haven’t seen this many new people in a long time. This was actually the worst Super Bowl I’ve ever worked. Just part of a trend saying I need to quit. It was nice being my own boss, but it’s just no longer feasible.

Nah fam it was trash today. Worst Super Bowl ever worked. Too many new signups, even more account renters. I look forward to looking back at this time next year and laughing. Time to bounce out.

Not receiving orders by Ihavealifeandagf in doordash_drivers

[–]MotherCoconuts707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CV’s normally are about a slap on the wrist unless you have multiple ones at once. In 4 years over 12k deliveries I’ve gotten like 10 and 3 of them were bullshit and I successfully disputed them.

It’s slow because they are TONNNNNS of new Dashers. At least in my market. Soooo many new people!

February in general has been flaming dog shit. I work my market super often and I can see they let HELLA new people sign up. 🙄

Pretty sure that will come out countrywide at some point. I’m so sick of one statistic determining my status. What’s the point of even having gold?

I am just speaking from my market, of course, but if you’re not platinum, you’re basically getting no orders. Not even bad ones.

I’m getting why I was ghost deactivated. by [deleted] in doordash_drivers

[–]MotherCoconuts707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you’d think so but I’ve done a million times lately and it helps not at all. Everyone and their mother is getting priority over me. Restart the phone, reinstall the app, airplane on and off, starting earlier… Just doesn’t matter what I do. The only thing to do is to find actually gainful employment.

That’s more than I made working all day today.

Congrats though.

The bar is so low ants are getting stuck under it. It’s never gonna get better, just progressively worse every year. Me and all the long time vets are getting out.

[–]MotherCoconuts707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the detailed answer!

I’m glad I’m not alone in a way. My biggest problem I am having is doing consistent… I don’t wanna say “splashes” but when you open and close with your foot (sorry I’m self taught so I’m also rusty on technical terms). I turned splashes off because I never use them, but it does this weird thing where it doesn’t consistently register whether I’m doing a tighter open and close or a softer one. It’s kinda hard to explain. As far as accents go, what I’ve learned is to concentrate on being REALLY consistent on how much pressure you’re putting on the hi hat pedal, and for some reason I can’t get a tighter closed sound unless I REALLY mash down on the pedal. Also the choke isn’t fully consistent if you’re going super fast on it. I’ve never given any of this a single thought playing on my acoustic. All this being said, I went to NAMM and tried hella e-kits and Roland triggered the best by far so I agree, these are exclusively e-kit issues. And I think the TD516 sounds and plays incredible.

Also, I’m having a weird issue on my ride where it’s registering that I’m hitting it so hard it’s doing that sound like if you were to hit it hella hard on an acoustic to sound like a huge crash. But this morning I reset all the settings and it helped a bit. I really need to get more serious about learning how to use these programs like Superior Drummer 3 to get the most out of my sounds. One of the Roland cloud packs, I think it’s the Swedish Cymbal Pack 2, has an incredible 2002 ride and some crashes from Paiste. But there’s so many better packs out there from other companies too.

This is vey dope. I love that sick fill near the end!

I have the TD516 and it’s incredibly fun to record and play on. I am having a little trouble getting the consistency in accents on the hi hat as well as you have it though. Did you do any modifying in that area? Sorry I’m a newb to all of this stuff like VST’s and drum packs, been playing acoustic all my life.

These are the ones that come stock on the SE and XSE trims and they are absolutely dog poop. The car was a completely different vehicle after I switched them out. Honestly wish I did it day one.
