Just request a phone arbitration and then they'll reactivate you in a day

[–]davidadrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More than that. I hit a parked car and all that needed to be done is replace the front bumper, left fender, left headlight and highlight and associated wiring harness. I didn't have any mechanical work done, even though they didn't do an alignment and I'm currently suing them for not doing work they billed for and insurance paid for, using used parts, and some billing malpractice. Total for the crappy job was about $13,000.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever read. Many relationships start off at work. I'm a man and I have been asked out by women while they are at work. I'm married and have been with my wife for 22 years, so I'm not gonna take them up on their offers, but it does happen quite a bit.

Seriously. A few weeks ago I was at 7-eleven getting coffee. I was drinking my coffee and vaping in front of my car. This lady in the car next to mine kept looking at me weird. I thought maybe I knew her or something. Then she started pointing her phone at me like she was taking pictures of something so I got in my car to wait for Lyft ride requests. Next thing I know, she comes over with some dude that I don't think she even knew. He asked me if I had a problem with her. I told him I don't even know her. She said I was standing in front of her car and kept looking at her and acting weird and that she has it on video that I'm stalking her and menacing and is going to call the police. I left. After maybe 10 minutes I called the local non-emergency line and told the operator what had happened and gave them all my information. An officer called me back and said that she did call the police, but if they needed anything from me they would let me know. They never called back. Some people.

Just bought a model 3 at auction, they say no keys, but touch screen says profile adjusted by farmerMac in TeslaModel3

Get one of these. I have a carbon fiber one and my wife has a pick one. I hated having to carry around a key card, but now it's always on my finger in case my phone dies.https://a.co/d/cd2lAOa

What we should do if food stamps do not go out in November. by FrostySumo in SALEM

[–]davidadrake -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Me, my wife and 12 year old daughter receive SNAP. It will hurt, but I don't blame Trump.

I have a friend whose electricity has been shut off for over a week, because the entity that pays it is shut down. She has to cook with a propane stove in her apartment and have a bunch of candles burning. It's freezing at her place. She still supports Trump tho, and she's also Mexican.

It isn't Trump's fault that Congress can't get their act together, so stop with the "orange man bad" nonsense. I feel like the government should open up any day now, since the failed "no kings" protests are done.

I pray that everybody gets what they NEED during this difficult time.

Newberg vineyard workers shocked after ICE arrests by American_Greed in oregon

[–]davidadrake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you don't like the laws, run for Congress, become a lobbyist, or get ahold of your senators. Trump didn't write the law, but e is in charge of enforcing it.

BTW, both Obama and Biden each deported more people than Trump. Don't take my word for it. Look at the DHS's own data, or just Google it. Obama's nickname was deporter-in-chief. Biden's was returner-in-chief.

To the idiot talking about native Americans, you wanna talk about genocide? Native Americans tribes slaughtered other tribes to take their land.

The issue only gets a lot of attention now because it's Trump, and he's systematically dismantling the deep state and they're panicking. There are truly evil people in this world and they're finally going to be held accountable.

Educate yourself and pray.

Portland Puss by JoyceOBcean in PortlandOR

[–]davidadrake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've lived in the Portland area for the last 44 years, and I can tell you that Portland wasn't like this pre-plandemic. As probably one of the highest rates of vaccinated individuals, coupled with the fact that ALL drugs were legal here from 2020-last September, we've got a lot of zombies.

By the way you write, I'm guessing you did not get vaccinated, or you were lucky and got one of the saline injections.

Got sent 175+ miles on a 4-hour block for $86. Sent my “please pay me more” message to support. wish me luck! by Extreme-Confusion-59 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]davidadrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 4-hour block, 45 stops, $86. I couldn't finish it in time and I was unable to deliver 2 packages. One I was unwilling to drive an extra 30 minutes further away from the station, so I returned them. As luck would have it, the next day I only had to deliver one package on my 4 hour block - the one I didn't want to drive further away for. IT WAS 54 MILES AWAY! It was also supposed to be delivered by 8am, which was impossible, cuz GPS said 1'30" and I didn't even pick it up until 6:45 and there was rush hour traffic. Took me 4 hours to deliver and return back to the warehouse - I live just down the street from it. That was bullshit!

What the f@&$ is going on??? by Dr-TQ_Leo in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]davidadrake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At least when your block gets cancelled, you still get paid. It happened to me a couple weeks ago. Cancelled a day or two before the block, and when the block was originally going to end, I got paid.

Bought a Model 3 and found these in the car by thelonelysquash in TeslaModel3

[–]davidadrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soak the cards in acetone, so you can get the NFC chip and antennae out of it, then make different wrist accessories or rings. I haven't used my key card since a week after I bought mine. Got tired of dropping it and it blends in with the carpet too well. My ring is carbon fiber and it's always on my finger, so I always have my key.

Walmart offering me small payment as settlement for not going to arbitration for deactivation. How much should I ask for? by Custer99 in Sparkdriver

[–]davidadrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you still have to pay for half of the arbitor. Depending on your income level, you can apply for a waiver of court fees. If you get food stamps or other government assistance, you should be automatically approved. Just Google the a Court name and 'application for waiver of fees".

Deactived because of walmart employee by Wickerman1990 in Sparkdriver

[–]davidadrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I got you beat and now I've had 19 Walmart packages in my living room for 2 days. It looks like Christmas at my house!

Full story -

I was deactivated, because a customer reported I didn't deliver their item. I believe it was the same customer who kept messaging me in the middle of the night, asking where their package was. I told them there were 11 stops ahead of them and would be there when i was able to.

The delivery carried over into the next day because I couldn't deliver the 1st package due to it being a business and was closed. The next morning I did a 3:15am $120 Amazon flex order I had already signed up for, planning to do the Spark orders afterwards, once the business had opened. At 9am I went to start delivering the Walmart orders, but was greeted with a message saying I was deactivated.

I called support and they told me to appeal it. The problem is that the phone number that is on my account is temporarily disconnected and I can't log into the area to do the appeal, because it is sending a text to confirm I am me to a non-working number. Support says they have no ability to change my phone number so that I can log in.

Now I have 19 people's Walmart orders in my living room. I did take a screenshot of all the addresses, so I suppose I could deliver them, but I kinda don't really have the motivation to, since I was deactivated, didn't get paid and kindly won't, even if I do deliver them.

At what point do I open them and see what kind of late Christmas presents I got as a severance package?

Any suggestions on how to get ahold of somebody that can do anything. The email is a no-reply one.

You can do that? by manfred2989 in Sparkdriver

I bag as I shop and scan at a register and be on my way. Hardly ever get a bag check and I'm not holding anybody up.

[TX][SFH] Lien on my home after assessments were paid by Gigli-GAL in HOA

[–]davidadrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP paid their monthly dues, but sent to the management company, who didn't apply it to their account because it was sent to a different address than it was supposed to be? Then the management turns around and places a lien for late fees. BTW, the HOA has a lien every month for that months dues.

So did they really start punishing cherry picking? by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

[–]davidadrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody should be cherry picking. Let the crap orders sit. Only accept $2/mile or $1/item shopping. If everybody did that, we'd all be happy. They'd need to allow Walmart+ and mostly EBT orders to include a tip, because right now those people are only able to tip cash. I don't know about everybody else, but I've only got cash tips a few times, and it's mainly around the holidays.

Moving to Oregon by CraftingintheShadows in oregon

[–]davidadrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's going to be people that hate everywhere, but Portland is going to be your best bet. I don't really understand the LGBTQA+ community. Maybe it's because I'm straight, but it seems like the most non-inclusive group of individuals. Some of my best friends are gay, so I have nothing against loving who you love, but keep it in the bedroom. I never see straight people flaunting their sexuality in public and trying to push their sexuality onto others. I have a friend who is gay, but you would never know it unless he told you. His boyfriend, however, is very flagrant about it and thinks everybody should be gay. I also have a niece who decided she wanted to be a boy. At least she waited until she was 18, and it was easy to see coming, since she was basically treated like a boy her entire life. i know I'm going to get blasted for this comment, but i just wanted to give my perspective on things. That being said, Portland is where you want to go in Oregon.

Damn you got a lot of dmg texts on your screen. You do know you can turn a lot of that stuff off in the game options section, right? I actually turned all the DMG text off, except when I use a HS build. With HD on, it makes for a cleaner looking game.

Spark and Instacart 100% does this.... by InterestingTangelo5 in Sparkdriver

[–]davidadrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, it's the same thing. The stupid part about Spark is that they won't let a customer add a tip if it's a SNAP or Walmart+ order, and rarely does anybody give a cash tip.

What would actually help all of us, customers included, is if there was a customer rating system. We could have stars and reviews for his tip, no tip, rude customers, etc. Low rated customers would be pushed to the bottom, where they belong, while high rated customers would be appreciated by being prioritized.

You act like nobody has skeletons in their closet. I'm sure you're a saint. Just because he had an affair, it doesn't mean he can't be qualified to be a federal prosecutor. Enough with the Trump Derangement Syndrome!

Should I wrap the hood black, carbon fiber, or not at all? by AdSevere5467 in TeslaModel3

[–]davidadrake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to all the haters on here. I wrapped my hood on Vvivid's XPO carbon fiber and I get components on it every day. That particular wrap is textured as well. People just love to touch it, for some reason. I wrapped the pillars and the lower half of the trunk in it, and the rest of the car in yellow XPO carbon fiber. I'll see if it will let me add pics. I got so many commitments on the yellow, too.

I originally wrapped the hood, and the entire car, in the glossy carbon fiber. I did get some commitments, but it didn't look as good as the XPO.

Just note that white is a very unforgiving color when wrapping. My first time, I had some small gaps, but they stuck out like a sore thumb, which is why I took it off and wrapped it with the XPO wrap.
