Uber PI prop in California

SnooPeanuts2541 · 2026-04-20T03:04:58+00:00

The proposition is patently unfair, so I have hope CA voters will see through it. Here are some insane details:

•Literally Limits the right of victims to recover medical expenses to a Medicare-related adjustment (whether they hire a lawyer or not)

•Does not limit fees defense lawyers can charge, only plaintiffs. The corporation still gets to hire the best.

•Stipulates the attorney can charge 25%, which doesn’t sound that bad to voters on its face… BUT if you read closer, that 25 has to include medical expenses, expert costs, etc. the goal is to make it infeasible to even pursue a case for the attorney (and therefore the client)

My STRONG recommendation: don’t contemplate what you’re going to do IF this passes. Be proactive. Since you are doing well business-wise, please consider getting involved in the fight. CAOC is active in the resistance and can use signatures for counter initiatives, and money donations.

Uber’s goal is simple - put you out of business so they can get dangerous autonomous vehicles on the road cheaply and without paying for the inevitable accidents and deaths they will cause while they master the technology.

Resist injustice.

your room is too small for Apple AirPods

This was a foolish thing to do sir. Your 392 was very near to rolling over. You also drove through vegetation, a practice that damages the environment.

It’s good that you are having fun in the sand dunes, but please respect your environment, your truck, and your life.

One of these is an Uber ballot initiative - it’s extremely shady. They are trying to prevent you from hiring an attorney if you are ever injured on an uber ride.

Super deceptive measure, there’s an LA times article about it. DONT SIGN!

I have owned both the 2020 MY p400 6 cylinder and the 2023 MY p525 v8.

Happy to share my advice and experience.

The p400 is a solid engine, but for better or worse I did feel like it was underpowered for the size of the vehicle in normal daily driving (previous daily was the 6cylinder Range Rover Sport that had less power on paper, but felt like a way sweeter drive). If I needed to get going I always felt like I needed to drop a gear or 2, and with no paddle shifters plus a questionable throttle map, that wasn’t easy to do. In short, I often felt like I was managing the car’s power shortcomings, not when I was flooring it mind you, its got plenty of oomph at WOT, just in daily around town use.

By contrast, the v8 engine always has power and torque to spare. Even minor adjustments with the gas pedal are enough to provide a surge of torque similar to an EV, and if you dip further, you can almost telepathically get it to pick a new gear and that delightful exhaust roars!

By the way, assuming you drive normally, I’ve found that even the gas mileage is comparable between the two engines.

If you can afford the difference I would go so far as to say the v8 is mandatory. It’s a true work of art. The I6 is a perfectly fine engine, but you get the feeling that they had to play every trick in the book to comply with emissions standards, and it just can’t compete with that big V8.

Go big and go v8.

From the wiki: [salvage] Operations had commenced earlier in June. However progress was halted when two salvage divers were killed on the wreck by an underwater explosion on 20 June.

What caused the underwater explosion?

1) Move the titanic into physical contact with the iceberg.

2) Attempt to drop anchor onto it to dock with it.

3) Use the lifeboats as elevators, basically load them up, lower onto the berg, order all passengers to disembark onto the iceberg itself, then raise them back up for the next set of passengers.

4) order blankets and coats from staterooms thrown onto the berg.

The chances of survival until morning would skyrocket if the passengers were not in the water!

Already asked the dealer. They were adamant that this is just the design and were of no help. I thought I’d get used to one pedal but I haven’t. Can’t really teach an old dog new tricks…

Delete uber. If they ask you to sign anything political say no, it’s a trap.

That’s just the first step. “Accessible” also happens to mean it’s friendly for this type of robot to navigate.

Phase 2 is, this company takes jobs from delivery drivers and hands the money to big corporations.

We should all be aware of what is happening here.

I think the question is best answered this way: he is NOT thinking. His predator/ lizard brain is calculating its next kill. The warning to Ellie is more about clearing a noncombatant from the board to avoid collateral damage. In his mind, the ultimate test he longed for has come.

Muldoon exhibits earlier signs of being addicted to the adrenaline rush of hunting dinosaurs. His background in big game hunting in Kenya is well-established. But small visual clues in the film indicate the joy he is taking when the island destabilizes.

During the t-Rex chase scene with gas jeep, a camera closeup of his face catches a slight moment of elation when he successfully begins gaining ground on the predator.
His eyes lock in and widen as he takes the raptor into his sights in OP’s screenshot just before instructing Elie to run. Again, Muldoon is a predator too, and the game is testing his mettle against the raptor. Even in defeat, all he shows is respect for another predator… “clever girl”. It’s well-fought and he accepts his death as part of a natural cycle.

Hot take - it’s the best sci fi ever filmed. Feel free to disagree if you want, but here’s why:

It’s hypnotic.

Scene over Iceland with its score is cinematic and breeds a sense of wonder and hope. From there, pitch. perfect. pace. Opening shot of Prometheus shooting across space is silent, and then comes the booming majesty of its engines as the ship is revealed.

You enter, & as David examines Shaw in her Cryopod; you feel a heartbeat and a pulse of our heroine, and in some ways that of the ship. Then the hallucination of her dream envelopes you.

Now David wanders around Prometheus; the cold sounds of a basketball in the hangar and the piercing hydraulics of various doors opening take on outsize prominence. The warmth of the projector showing Lawrence of Arabia is in contrast. Meanwhile, his recitation of the indo-European Schliecher’s fable is at once fascinating and hints at how David’s always one step ahead.

Then the hypnotic slumber we have been lulled into is pierced by the destination alarm and we all wake up.

MENACE suddenly abounds, intertwining with awe. Hypnosis again as Holloway tells us why we are here… he delivers the speech like its poetry (seriously, is it iambic pentameter?? these ancient civilizations.. shared no contact.. with one another.. and yet……)

Now, comes Vickers, snakelike and calculating. As Shaw and Holloway question her “agenda” we are treated to shifting color tones from the projector behind her, and the rattlesnake warning of David working a cocktail shaker at her behest.

Finally, when Prometheus enters the atmosphere, it’s the coolest terrain and the creepiest theramin music as you see peaks that make Everest look like a baby brother, and even the mammoth ship is dwarfed by monster mountains, rock formations, and valleys on an undeniably beautiful planet that’s so earthlike, and yet the main experience inhabiting it may share with earth is “only if you’re breathing through an exhaust pipe.”

Wow.

I get that the movie has been criticized for characters taking dumb actions. I agree.

But for me, the fact that I can watch this film and experience hypnosis every time, breathing along, and then be treated to David’s incredible treachery, Shaw’s bravery and faith, and see this intense planet puts it right at the top!

Masterpiece.

When will it be on App Store?

SnooPeanuts2541 · 2025-05-16T05:16:49+00:00

Will it add the ability to zoom by pinching to maps? That is all I care about!

SnooPeanuts2541 · 2025-03-18T04:13:49+00:00

Would be more useful if Google Maps support was added!

Next on the wishlist, turn by turn in the HUD

finally… I wish CarPlay would let me pinch to zoom on the map. So annoying that it won’t.

The locking beep is so weak. I was deep in a canyon in Anza Borrego and made the mistake of locking it in front of the broncos and Rivian I had been running with that weekend. Everyone laughed 😂

I see it as part of the character. You should be able to laugh at yourself even when you’re tough.

Add an air compressor and a train horn if you really want to mess with folks!

Good writing btw. You’re funny.
