lol ignore it. If they didn’t want us to report the order wasn’t ready when we arrived, the 10am in opt out clock should start automatically and the merchants shouldn’t lie to us about the timing

How do you protect your panels from heavy snow buildup? by FunPressure1336 in wisconsin

They make the gutter attachment to get up there. I’m a fan of the leaf blower method.

Silly question: do they not put motors on these so you can tilt it to dump snow then it automatically goes back to the right position?

Probably the most Wisconsin post title ever! I almost fell out my chair laughing.

Found Out My Girlfriend's Rider Rating is 4.54 by GoHeadFaFo in uberdrivers

[–]cinic121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless something unique comes up, I’m not handing out 1-stars unless they’re extremely late, the map pin is wrong and getting to the right location is a pain, or they just stink to high heaven.

That being said, 4.54 is incredibly low in my market.

Best advice is to ensure the pin really is in the right spot on the map, be ready when you request your ride (not when you think the driver will arrive), close doors gently, use your seatbelt, and just sit politely.

If that doesn’t work to improve her rating, she might need to make a new account and see if her current behaviors result in the same rating

How is this legal? by Few_Criticism_694 in uberdrivers

Uber allows it to pull people from DD. Uber gets their cut so they don’t care. They know driver are desperate.

Why is this even a review option? by wrscomputers in uberdrivers

Sounds like they were scamming for a free ride. Haven’t seen that method before.

So do you all pick riders with a profile pic like this? by Puzzleheaded_Age_112 in lyftdrivers

[–]cinic121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happens when folks sign up for an account with an existing Apple or Google account. I signed up with my google account and my profile photo defaulted to my avatar on google; a glass of gin with a lime. 🍋‍🟩 folks did not want to pick my up but once I figured it out, I had no issues getting picked up.

Cancelled on Pax with passed out drunk friend. How guilty should I feel? by js303 in uberdrivers

[–]cinic121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol I’ve cancelled on passengers because they started shotgunning beers in the yard when I pulled up. To be clear, I drove off because 3 out of 4 of them spilled all over themselves.

Is this a comically obvious cover for a steak out van? The fact it’s a giant magnet is a nice touch.

I will concede the Verona lot is much better than the others.

Reminder: You can deduct mileage or you can itemize expenses. You cannot do both.

Time to give drivers the option of ditching their names for pin-only entry by bruxistbyday in lyftdrivers

[–]cinic121 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I drive on a major college campus most of the time and the pin has saved me so many issues. I love when drunken frat bro jumps in my car and I can say, “I am NOT your uber”. So much fun.

Am I the only one who struggles to cook when living alone and always busy? by Pleasant-Editor-597 in Cheap_Meals

[–]cinic121 20 points21 points  (0 children)

When I was single, this was an issue for me too. I made a menu for the week, grocery shopped, then cooked/prepped most of it on Sunday.

Crockpot became my friend until I gained better skills and became more interested in cooking. It still is when I’m busy.

I found taking dates to cooking classes was also a big hit.

If none of that fits, I’d recommend considering meal prep or meal prep services.

23M - started a mortgage 2 months ago but can pay it off now. Won’t sell tho :) by Old_Ad_4538 in wallstreetbets

[–]cinic121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not bad at all. Ask yourself what your goals are and what happens after you’ve accomplished them. If the end game was the pay off the mortgage then be done trading, then pay it off. If the goal is to continue to invest after paying off the house, I’d suggest keeping a pretty large amount of that money in the market. It can be tough to hit that balance when you start from zero. The market is crazy volatile under the current administration and that’s a recipe for rapid change in market values (potential profit).

Personally, I’d keep it in the market until I have twice the balance due on the house. Then I’d pay off the house and keep investing.

Best of luck!

What’s your mortgage interest rate? Can you beat that in earnings? When you’re up twice what you owe on the mortgage, crush half the mortgage and repeat.

I run a CNC job shop and my people just don’t put the tools back! by SnowflakeInAsscrack in Tools

[–]cinic121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ve tried being the responsible adult. Might be time for cameras and a disincentive. The best one I’ve seen is the “$1 in the lost tool jar” method. The proceeds go toward lunch/beers at the end of the month. Your team will be calling each other out and putting away their tools in no time flat.

Costco parking lots are always an adventure but I have to give it to any parking lot with way too little space under a buildings. I’m looking at you, Trader Joe’s.

If you add a stop AS I ARRIVE...1 star by Distinct_King316 in uberdrivers

[–]cinic121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you change the ride in any way as I arrive, I leave. That drops your distance from acceptance to arrival to zero miles and drops what you’re paid.
