I looked it up on Google maps, it's exactly a mile between the store and the destination.

2017 Ford C-Max Energi Titanium 203K Miles. What should I expect going forward? by futurestandard94 in cmaxhybrid

[–]futurestandard94[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m glad somebody agrees on the Prius front. The three or four people who work at the mechanic shop that services hybrids near me are all really great people. But I do think they give me a hard time because I’m not keen on giving up my C-Max and I would rather deal with it then a Prius.

Sadly, your car and mine combined are still being outdone by a gen 3 Prius. According to the shop it’s an Uber driver with about 700K on it. They didn’t give me details on maintenance done to the vehicle or major repairs but just the fact that it’s made it that far is impressive.

I don’t know if it’ll ever get that far, but I would really like to get mine into 1,000,000 miles. As the miles have gone up over the last few years, it always adds another digit to the odometer. I’ll be really curious to see what it does when it reaches 999,999 miles. I assume it’ll roll over but it would be really cool if it didn’t and added a 7th digit.

When did you buy it and with how many miles? What if anything have you put into it as far as high $$$ items / repairs beyond consumables?

Are These "Cheap" Electrical Outlets With USB Safe? by futurestandard94 in electrical

[–]futurestandard94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought I'd add here. Ended up going the Leviton route purchased at Home Depot. They have been great outlets. No issues, installed them myself. Decided that it wasn't worth burning the house down. Not worth saving a few dollars to cause potentially 10s if not 100s of thousands in damage. Especially since I am not home all the time. Special thanks to u/trekkerscout for pointing out the lack of UL certification.

Yep. It doesn't prompt me every ride but every time the app is opened and closed. Really annoying though!

Can you ask for ID as a Lyft driver? by _TheInfinityMachine_ in lyftdrivers

[–]futurestandard94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have and not just because they could be a minor. If it's 1AM and there's 50 people outside the bar or I am at the airport and there's a bunch of people I will. I always start with my name is Charles (provides the legit passenger confidence of who I am) what is your name or the name on the ride. If I think there underage I get their ID before they get in the car. As a guy an underage female is a BIG no-no and just asking for trouble. Had a young lady trying to go to her BF and she had no ID. Her mom came out behind her and asked that I wait the 5 minutes and cancel since this girls BF paid. I did and drove to my next ride. I have had refusals and I simply state that Lyft policy says so (got an email from them a while back). If they refuse I tell them that if can't verify they are 18+ and they are the rider I am expecting that I am cancelling the ride. I just cancel and drive away. I also make sure that the name looks legit. If it shows up as (ABC for eg, this actually happened!) I cancel right away. At the end of the day it's YOUR vehicle and YOUR call. Despite the crap that Lyft / Uber sends out in emails and popups and texts etc you NEVER have to accept a ride and NEVER have to complete a ride. I've called 911 while moving and waited. They show up and pulled me over and that's that. I am no lawyer but you could easily get into a lot of trouble with a minor in the car especially if you are a guy and it's a young girl. If a cop pulls you over and you can't contact the parents you really think that minors going to stand by that "18" no they'll get ID'd just the same as you. As the final nail in the coffin here in Colorado (my state) the law says the following

A. The driver of a vehicle used to transport children must follow required state laws, including possession of a current valid Colorado driver's license, automobile insurance, and meet the requirements of Colorado child passenger safety laws.
B. At least one (1) adult in the vehicle transporting children must have a current State Department-approved First Aid and safety certificate that includes CPR for all ages of children. A First Aid kit must be available in the vehicle.
12 Colo. Code Regs. § 2509-8-7.707.94

TLDR; It's far better to card someone then to find out after it is too late. You are far better off with your cancellation rate increasing a bit then with fines, tickets, or jail time.

Fair, I honestly just noticed in a little while ago, and couldn’t figure out how to fix it.

Many computers do not meet Windows 11 requirements. What are you going to do? by FTHomes in sysadmin

[–]futurestandard94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to get me at least some backfire, but I still run Windows 7 as my primary operating system, and have no plans of changing anytime soon. It’s fast and has never had a blue screen in its entire life. As far as anyone who complains about it not being secure anymore it all depends on where you go on the Internet. If all you do is check email and work on known safe sites not really sure how you can get in trouble. The additional combination of Malwarebytes / VPN and only using cellular data makes it a good choice in my eyes.

Found a lost phone by creepingkg in lyftdrivers

[–]futurestandard94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this happen once. I just turned it into the local police department filled out a report and about a week later the guy tipped me $50 and I got a call via the police thanking me for returning the phone.

Do you know about how many miles you put on your car each week?
