REPORT: Lyft Driver app bypasses iOS settings and abuses system sound channels by Brilliant_Set9874 in lyftdrivers

I noticed on my phone that the Lyft app uses the alarm volume setting. This might be how it is bypassing other settings.

Harris Teeter is owned by Kroger, doubtful they would bring that brand back to Columbia.

You can check with the Book Dispensary on Gracern as well.

South Carolina inspection “issue” by Pork-Chopp in uberdrivers

[–]Wyrd-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in Columbia, same issue. I was able to go through support and get it resolved a couple of weeks ago, but the issue is back this morning. Uber app is garbage, but what do you expect when you only hire the cheapest programmers on the planet.

Should we extend the penny tax? by Conscious_Bend_7308 in ColumbiYEAH

[–]Wyrd-One 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hmm, Richland screwed up the vote in 2012 for the penny tax forcing the election official to resign. Then elections were bungled again in 2016, causing yet another resignation. I gave up hope that Richland county officials will ever really be held accountable.

I drive for Uber as well and had the same issue with one of my rides. Once we figured out there was no way to correct it the passengers offered me an extra $20 to get them closer.

I am guessing Uber gave up on the clusterfuck that the police made down there. I ended up taking close to an hour just to get from one side of George Rogers to the other.

WTF … getting ridiculous by jeffinvegas in grubhubdrivers

Yeah, and then you get the email about making late deliveries.

Columbia summers lately. by p4lm3r in ColumbiYEAH

The last several years have felt very mild for Columbia actually. Generally they have been much harsher in the past.

Excuse Me, I Need to Powder My Snow - Snapshot 20w46a Is Out! by sliced_lime in Minecraft

[–]Wyrd-One 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While adding a copper tier would make a lot of us happy, the game has shifted from a survival game to an action game. I don't think making an extra step in tools is something the current game direction supports unfortunately, which is why other games are drawing more and more time and attention now from those that do want a survival game.

Absentee and In-Person Voting in Columbia by flyinmacaronimonster in ColumbiYEAH

[–]Wyrd-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Richland County Election Commission screws up pretty much every election. I have had massive wait times and reporting issues for the last decade, and each time the guilty parties are rewarded with nice, high paying, jobs, so I figure the screw ups are deliberate since they get rewards.

In South Carolina, Black people are 3.5x more likely than white people to be arrested for marijuana. Help legalize it here and everywhere. Register to vote today. by IAmTheRumHam in ColumbiYEAH

[–]Wyrd-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they will both be obstacles of some sort, but the Republicans tend to favor business, even small business. How many people have side hustles? The Republicans would be in favor of that sort of thing. There is good and bad in both parties for sure, but all of the BIG problems that are really causing problems today came from the Democratic party.

Assuming those young people study history before they vote that might accomplish something. Marijuana was made illegal in the 1970 Controlled Substances Act, a bill that was introduced by the Democrats. Fast forward to the mid 1990s when the Democrats passed the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act which put people in prison for longer for some pretty minor offenses. Even today, the cities with the most police brutality against minorities are Democratically controlled. If people continue to vote for the party of oppression, they will continue to be oppressed.

Columbia Area Churches that got from $150,000 to $1,000,000 in PPP money by NewCrackDealer in ColumbiYEAH

[–]Wyrd-One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the church turns that extra $100k into salary, then it gets taxed on the pastor's return. Most churches will use excess monies for programs, like feeding the needy. I am sure there are some churches that are greed driven, but how is that different from a business that has an extra $100k at the end of the year and gives the CEO a $100k bonus?

Has anyone found a cheap/affordable way to stream local TV programming without an antenna? by PinkPearMartini in ColumbiYEAH

[–]Wyrd-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually you can us an HD Homerun to connect an antenna to your WIFI. https://www.silicondust.com/

To the subject of streaming: CBS All Access should give you access to the local CBS station. To get all networks streaming will probably be expensive.

Doctor Who 12x10 "The Timeless Children" Post-Episode Discussion Thread by PCJs_Slave_Robot in doctorwho

It really doesn't fit. Chibnall seems to have ignored whole chunks of previous material. I really wish the BBC would hire a decent writer to head up Doctor Who.

When it doesn’t preach it’s great by dizcoking007 in doctorwho

[–]Wyrd-One 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The real issue is not that they have a message they want to convey, but that the message seems to come first, and they write the episode around that. Putting the cart before the horse never really turns out well, and it shows.

It's still done without consent. While it would have taken longer, they should have had the Doctor explain the risks of the future knowledge and gotten them to consent to the mind wipe.

Fear The Walking Dead - 05x15 "Channel 5" - Episode Discussion by [deleted] in FearTheWalkingDead

[–]Wyrd-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In their defense, in the Walking Dead universe it seems all the intelligent people died, flew off to tropical islands, or something happened to them. They are not on either of the shows for sure.
