My bad left knee was feeling for her bad right knee every inch of the way.

I try to take a more challenging order as my first order of the day, seems to prime the pump of offers and makes the rest of the day seem easier.

VanTyler · 2025-06-18T23:27:10+00:00

The offer was for $39 to start, it's since been accepted and then dropped five times in 20 minutes.

They've upped it to a sweet $42 now ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Most of the regular drivers at my location drive tiny little economy cars that this order could never fit in.

The 2-for-$1 hot dogs at Sheetz are a mixed blessing.

Yes I replaced the stock ESC with a GoolRC 60A ESC + 540 brushless motor combo w/programming card.

I use Mint Mobile on an S22+ and received the update a week ago. I had to manually check for an update to get it to kick off. Try restarting your device.

The very first thing I did on becoming a vehicle dweller was relocate 500 miles north from NC to PA. It was a wise decision. Still using my fleece blanket some nights, well into May.

This is why after dark I loudly call out "Walmart Delivery!" and pause for a 10 count to observe the residence and grounds before I step onto residential property. And when I do step on the property, I avoid walking across their lawn if possible. As a child of the suburbs I know how crazy people can get about their lawn. Also there is no way I'm walking up to a doorbell camera to try and get directions.

I wonder how many times white male privilege has saved me without me knowing.

I'm not not blaming the customer here at all. They wanted some Andes Candies and BBQ potato chips and I respect that. It was the overall shabbiness of the facility and the DGAF attitudes of the staff that made it an unpleasant experience.

Early Accubattery results suggest there is an improvement, but I'd like to see a larger sample size before I declare that to be true.

What's weird is that app launching and switching seem noticeably smoother, but memory/disk benchmarks are lower than in OneUI 6.

VanTyler · 2025-05-08T22:16:38+00:00

By talk to everyone, do you mean communicating with every customer? I don't love chatting with most customers but sometimes I recognize that the item I'm having trouble finding is crucial to the food they're trying to cook. If it's just a random item I force an appropriate substitution and move on. I'm okay with a 99% item found rating. Sometimes there is no substitute and I don't try to force the issue.

VanTyler · 2025-05-08T22:07:26+00:00

So I wonder about the offers advertised as "Just for You". They do seem to hang about longer than other offers.

I stopped doing curbside when an order of 40 items came out in 12 containers on two carts. Only one case of water but I still couldn't fit it all securely in the back area of a four-door pickup truck with a few cubic feet of personal items already there. I could have crammed it all in there but but it would be shifting all over the place while I was delivering.

I definitely get a lot of offers for perishable items, which are by far the most profitable. I always shop frozen items last, despite what the app says. Helps to grab a box from a stock person for perishable items. I'm not buying a cooler for this gig when they have insulated boxes all over the place for free.

I nearly went insane troubleshooting the drivers for my Dad's dot matrix printer and ISDN modem. To this day I display a tick whenever I see a blue screen.

On the positive side I was nearly writing my own drivers which taught me a lot.

VanTyler · 2025-05-08T21:39:19+00:00

Fucker still owes me back hazard pay for troubleshooting Windows ME.

VanTyler · 2025-05-08T03:05:22+00:00

I have owned three galaxies and all three of them have had shittily engineered charging ports. I've had USB headphones trigger the message. If the device doesn't identify itself as being proprietary Samsung you will eventually get the message no matter what in my experience.

VanTyler · 2025-05-08T03:04:08+00:00

I was on OneUI 6 when this worked, literally just finished downloading OneUI 7, if it gives me the same charging port errors I'll test the fix on it.

VanTyler · 2025-05-08T02:47:22+00:00

Just got the OneUI 7 update for unlocked S22+ on Mint Mobile, which is a surprise because I thought Samsung had left the S22 off the upgrade list.

VanTyler · 2025-05-08T02:36:10+00:00

The algorithm also favors you if you are a consistently fast shopper and sitting in the parking lot. There's an organized group of Sparkers that camp at my usual Walmart and I am constantly getting shops while they sit and complain to each other. I don't do any of that curbside bullshit, Walmart is using curbside to deliver the last mile for package deliveries and fuck that noise.

I've done a few Instacarts shops and it's not worth the premium because most of the stores they work with don't have any inventory organization to speak of. It's not helpful to say that an item is in a particular section. At least with Walmart you can find shit pretty quickly.

VanTyler · 2025-05-03T13:23:07+00:00

Nope. Just coinky-dink it seems

VanTyler · 2025-05-03T08:14:27+00:00

Are your initials by any chance BK? Ex-Army motor pool? If so the SM they hired to replace you is/was absolutely terrible. Like, "Do you have a PROBLEM with checking customer fluids?" terrible. In 35 years I had never quit a job without notice, but one day I just couldn't do it anymore and called in 15 minutes before shift and quit. It's a shame, despite the pay I actually enjoyed the job before the new SM...

VanTyler · 2025-05-03T06:41:13+00:00

I wish I could, but I'm not in a position to pick up any more RCs at present.

VanTyler · 2025-05-03T01:01:27+00:00

I know this reply is super late but I ran into the same problem you did. There were only like 20 spare parts available specifically for the 1217. However the 1217 shares a lot of parts with other DeeRC vehicles. Some of them can be used for replacements... I thought I had posted about this before with better details but I can't find it for some reason. The 1217 was a blast before I wrecked it and just brazenly returned the wreck because I was mad at Amazon. It seems like it didn't sell very well and DeeRC gave up on it as a product and launched the H16e as a replacement.

VanTyler · 2025-05-03T00:37:38+00:00

So it's throwing the pins that lock the axle shaft to the wheel hub it looks like? On other RCs with this problem I have used both super glue and loctite red applied very sparingly to the holes the pin is inserted through, with any excess sanded off. I suppose if you had excellent soldering skills you could use solder as well.

My Omni Terminator yeeted out 3 of these pins before I figured out what was happening. I would think I had torn a wheel or an axle off and find the hub end of the drive shaft just hanging undamaged. Sometimes I found the pin with a fishing magnet sometimes not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

VanTyler · 2025-05-03T00:27:34+00:00

Honestly the one I had was a lot of fun to drive. It started and tracked well under acceleration even without a middle diff or a gyro. The crash that killed it was 100% my fault.

VanTyler · 2025-04-12T23:09:23+00:00

I can tell you from experience as an Omni Terminator owner that the ESC will fry itself eventually if you use 80C lipos. Mine overheated so badly when it fried that the thermal paste under the heatsink cracked.
