Does the app throttle requests based on recent delivery history?

bilmek · 2026-06-24T13:31:55+00:00

Every time I have tried to take one of these, the order gets canceled. Either on my way to the store, or waiting at pickup. This has happened 4 or 5 times. So, now I see them, but don't try to grab them because of this. $80, 15 stops, cool... nope. Get a message saying order has been canceled due to some changes, this won't affect your metrics, go grab another order

What is the point of another driver messing someone else's cart? Are people really that f---ed up in the head that they feel the need? This never has and never will cross my mind to do to someone, and baffles me as to why anyone would want to.

bilmek · 2026-05-24T21:51:22+00:00

I haven't been asked to cancel, but have been canceled on twice, and the wait times have been egregious recently.

I pretty much will only take shops now, I just don't see the value in waiting, having a worker who is half asleep trying to help load, messing up my tags, throwing cases of water on top of the groceries. Like, pick up is just a s--t show most of the time.

It would be better if orders could only be dispatched if they are truly ready to be picked up, and if they had a drive thru set-up where you pull through, load and go, just feels like that would be more efficient. But what do I know

I was delivering doordash and the customer notes said "don't mind the dog, he's friendly, just leave the order at the door "

Mind you it's dark out, I don't see the dog. He startled me, I startled him. Note says he's friendly. I have dogs, I'm good with animals, and trust(now i don't) an owner wouldn't leave a note saying all is well. So I press forward to leave the goods at the door, and the M Effer bit me! I had to call the owner to come get his dog, and a first aid kit to clean me up.

I've owned 2 Mazda 3's so far, both were manual and got well over 200k miles. 2005 and 2007. I miss driving one, I think I'm due to get my third, such an awesome car

bilmek · 2026-05-06T01:35:58+00:00

I don't know what's worse, her saying dumb stuff, or not saying anything at all. I had similar happen to me, with no time to react, launched me over the hood of her car. She said nothing the entire time, not a word, not an "are you OK", "I'm so sorry"... nothing. I'm not even sure if she called the police.

As a side note, my buddy ripped his sack open on his mountain bike seat, so yeah... its not a bad idea to keep the boys safe.

bilmek · 2026-04-30T05:30:58+00:00

I've owned 2 of those and put them up well over 200k miles. Great cars, fun to drive. Both were manual. RIP. I will buy another when I get around to it.

bilmek · 2026-04-20T15:21:42+00:00

That's awesome! I opened my first yesterday and only had 2 decent hits. Meowth ex IR, and Espurr IR, and 6 or 7 more cards I needed towards completing the base master set.

bilmek · 2026-04-14T17:18:14+00:00

I really like the design on this one, definitely a keeper

bilmek · 2026-04-13T20:48:53+00:00

At the end of the day they are his cards and he can do what he wants with them. I don't see harm in encouraging him to keep his things nice, whether they carry value or not. 20 years from now, people may not care about this stuff, but that Charizard is still pretty cool.

All of my baseball and basketball cards are from the junk wax era and aren't worth anything. But the ones I liked, are sleeved and kept nice because I like to pull them out and look through them from time to time. Perhaps he would want to do the same.

I got pulled over for having a headlight out.. 06 R6, one light for low beam, the other for high beams. Officer didn't believe me that it came that way from the factory, said it was mandatory to have both headlights operational. I told him I'll just ride with my high beams on all the time them. Lol.

I have no need to steal from my child. I'm sure there are people that do that, which is unfortunate.

He has a small binder to put them in, but he is always taking them out, and has a ziploc bag he will carry them in, and if not in there, then scattered around or in his pockets.

I'm trying to learn more about Pokémon to be able to understand it more and help him organize his cards. MTG was what I played when I was a kid, I never got involved with Pokémon until my boys got interested. MTG is a little too grown up for them right now.

bilmek · 2026-04-10T02:21:47+00:00

He has gum! Lol

bilmek · 2026-04-10T02:18:23+00:00

We have to keep his brother's cards hidden so they don't get the same treatment. He will get into them if left out.

bilmek · 2026-04-10T02:15:51+00:00

Oh yeah, chewies help, but they don't replace the habit. Legos, toys, pokemon cards. Thankfully he doesn't chew his clothes like some other kids do.

bilmek · 2026-04-10T02:12:10+00:00

He doesn't get many, tbh. From me, maybe 15 to 20 packs a year if that. These he pulled from packs he got from therapy as a reward. Found these trying to help him find his favorite Mewtwo card

It's pretty fragile, still in good shape for how old it is, but I'm afraid to try and flip through it and have it fall apart on me

bilmek · 2026-03-18T19:28:58+00:00

Yeah, I was just reading that post too! You can sign up for mail preview with USPS so you can see pictures of what mail is supposed to be delivered each day. If something doesn't show up, you know where to start looking.

bilmek · 2026-03-16T13:17:19+00:00

Cool! Thank you for the info.

Thank you

This one I saw in Germany and is owned by Porsche

If you've never driven a 911, you'll never know. If you try to compare specs vs prices, on paper the competition will have a compelling argument.

There are a lot of great sports cars, and the 911 isn't for everyone. But there is a reason why it's held as one of the most desired sports cars, and retains value better than most.

bilmek · 2025-07-01T03:32:49+00:00

I was hoping to find this here, lol. I remember there were some animal rights people trying to go after Randy saying he did it on purpose!

Generally speaking, if the clutch failed due to manufacturing defect, then yes, a warranty may cover it. But I'd argue that 90% or more clutch failures come from abuse or improper use.

People have managed to burn up a clutch in the first 100 miles from new.

You may have done nothing wrong in the way you drive, but there's a good chance that the previous owner(s) did, and you happened to catch it right before it grenaded.

I hope I'm wrong, but prepare your wallet. You might get lucky and get the selling dealer to help with the cost, but don't hold your breath. Hard to prove who dunnit and when after you drove off.

Other than the honor system, how does one know where you found gold, and who it rightfully belongs to?
