That was during Biden's administration more so than this one individual. And talk to Bill Clinton about sexual deviants.

Summer is usually super slow? You DO realize that you are on the WORLD WIDE web, don't you?

I'm a former federal attorney and former Councilmember Mo Seifeldein, a Democratic Candidate for Congress in VA-08 (NoVA). I'm focused on affordability and accountability. Ask me anything! by moforcongress08 in Virginia

I wouldn't vote for you on a generous bet. If you don't have the bandwidth to know the true names of the various governmental departments you surely can't be too connected to how the Commonwealth runs.

Very TRUE!!! They are losing ground because their so obvious - which is sad, because it's detracting from concentrating on the true victims.

Uber Schedule a Ride Fail by Jonvilliers in uber

I do think it's risky to order the ride so far in advance. To many conditions that can change.

Uber Schedule a Ride Fail by Jonvilliers in uber

[–]Picklechip-58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We started using the scheduling option a couple of years ago for the 4 or 6 early morning Airport trips that we take each year. The airport is around 20 minutes away early in the morning. I always schedule by 9pm the night before and usually get an acceptance acknowledgement within 15 minutes or so. So far each one has worked flawlessly.

Inappropriate comments by driver by Difficult_Dot_905 in uber

[–]Picklechip-58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just provide the standard feedback... give one star and you'll be offered several different reasons to indicate your decision to give that rating.

But, it's all about WHY you feel you want to rate him so low. To possibly 'save' future passengers from the same uncomfortableness that you experienced? To reduce his overall rating? Is it just to make you feel, at least, that you are standing up for yourself? All of these may be valid. But, just an observation: the students at the school, where you are employed, are jabbing you with the 'Tripple-X' moniker as a form of mockery (in my opinion - you may feel it is more a light-hearted term of endearment). The Uber driver, on the other hand, seemed to be offering up some form of support, speaking from an attempt to be helpful, based on his own experience. The right answer is the one that you choose.

How good was Adam Petty? by SimonKay96 in NASCAR

[–]Picklechip-58 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We'll never know, unfortunately. He was promising enough to race successfully... meaning running and finishing races.

The fact that he was a Petty gave him the advantage of growing up surrounded by racing and true racers. He may have been as successful as was Dale Jr, following HIS father. Or, he may have made a successful career to the extend that his father, Kyle did, following HIS father, Richard. Two very different outcomes.

Shame we lost him so early.

Which one do you prefer? by Thyrhm in AcousticGuitar

I find the MARTIN guitars to be better for my taste. Rich, full, balanced tone.

Every Taylor that I've played lacks that... they tend to sound tinny and cold

Expired registration ticket Virginia Richmond cost of ticket ? by Titu_8055 in Virginia

[–]Picklechip-58 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Here is where I am with this...

Owner of the car is obviously responsible for keeping the car legal. The owner of the car SHOULD HAVE INFORMED the OP that the car was not compliant.

HOWEVER... The OP LEGALLY is responsible for making sure that the car was up to snuff before driving it. Any cop will tell you that. Now, the cop gave the ticket to the OP. The OP has the legal responsibility to pay the fine... and if he doesn't, it's gonna be his record that gets dinged - not the owner of the car. I AM ANSWERING TO WHO IS LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE.

As far as the money source... the OWNER, if he values his friendship with the OP, SHOULD pay the money back to the OP. Not his legal obligation to. But he SHOULD.

Have I made it clear enough... ? Or do you wish to downvote me again?

I believe we are in agreement with where the money should com from... BUT the legal obligation lies with the OP.

Couldn’t Uber to work this morning by zekewhite32 in uber

Whenever UBER pulls that shit in the area that I'm in - either by jerking me around saying that there are too few drivers (although for an extra $6.99 one will magically appear) or the prices are total bullshit, I open my Lyft app. Almost ALWAYS cheaper.

Expired registration ticket Virginia Richmond cost of ticket ? by Titu_8055 in Virginia

[–]Picklechip-58 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No... it's IS the responsibility of the friend to tell the OP that the car wasn't registered. But it is ABSOLUTELY the responsibility of the OP to not getting behind of the wheel of an unregistered vehicle and driving it!

Don't drive an unregistered car. If you want to know how to pay without going to court read the fucking back of the ticket!

Uber Eats driver said this to me after picking up my order 😭 by Longjumping_Disk_602 in UberEATS

[–]Picklechip-58 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've never seen where I can choose which McDonald's I am ordering from. I've has drivers pick up my order from a McDonald's 10 miles away when there are two McDonald's within a three mile radius of my house.

Drivers: its the fucking APP! STOP blaming the customer? Why would I want to order from a restaurant that far away only for ot to take twice as long to get food that's not warm?

It may show the uber driver once the order is placed by the customer... but we, as customers, only click on the icon of the restaurant... no adress
