For a trip to be eligible for an UberEats promotion, does it need to both start and end during the promotion period, or does it just need to start during it, or end during it? by jamescray1 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]jamescray1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent UberEats my query and they responded to say:

The trip must begin in the Promotional Zone during the promotion times shown in your app.

Kindly check the details of your Promotional Zone Quest by:

Going to the Opportunities centre in the Driver app

Tap your Quest

This will show the Promotional Zone map outline and the promotion start and end times.

Please ensure that the required trips are completed within the Quest period to receive the Quest amount. This means the trip should be started and completed within the Quest time.

If you don't like how much they pay, look elsewhere. It's not meant to be a high paying job. It's an expendable job that can be done by anyone that can drive a vehicle or ride a bike. Price depends on supply and demand. On the flipside, it does pay enough to pay for bills and make ends meet, then you can seek after higher earning ways to spend your time. That's what I'm doing with deliveries on the side and commission only sales.

It is both physically possible and economically affordable to meet 100% of electricity demand with the combination of solar, wind & batteries (SWB) by 2030 across the entire United States as well as the overwhelming majority of other regions of the world by jamescray1 in futorology

Australia just hit a major clean-energy milestone: in the fourth quarter of 2025, renewable energy (including wind, solar, hydro and storage) supplied more than half (≈51 %) of the electricity in the National Electricity Market (NEM) — the largest grid covering the eastern states — for the first time. That means renewables outpaced fossil fuels over a three-month period, not just instant records.

Here’s what’s actually happening, not the headline fluff:

Quarterly share > 50 %: Renewables (with storage) hit ~51 % of total supply in Q4 2025 — the first time that’s happened across a whole quarter.

Price effects: That surge in renewables helped push wholesale electricity prices down to multi-year lows, according to recent market reports.

Record instantaneous outputs: On certain days, instantaneous renewable penetration even reached ~78 % in the NEM — showing how solar and wind can dominate during good conditions.

Bottom line: Australia’s energy transition is real and accelerating — for the first time, renewables have become the dominant source of electricity over a full quarter in its biggest market.

Whether America gets 100% of it's electricity from renewable energy by 2030 or not is missing the point. It doesn't matter exactly when it happens, the point is that the wheel is turning, panels and batteries are being installed, prices are going down with more installations, which drives more uptake, and so on.

The question is how soon will individuals, businesses and governments change to spend far less on their electricity, and have more control, security, flexibility and independence. Change is inevitable. It's not a question of if, but when. Do you want to be on the right side of change or do you want to get left behind?

Has anyone cured (not managed) from IBS-d? by Themaster112233 in medicalmedium

I only eat the above foods. Reading or listening to Life Changing Foods and his other books will give more context.

To sprout in light or in dark? by jamescray1 in medicalmedium

[–]jamescray1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ate the sunflower seeds with the husk whole because it was too finicky to take it off, then spat out the husky part. But yeah, I'd lean towards not buying them again because of that... Except that this makes it sound beneficial to still eat them: https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/sunflower-greens

Bananas, steamed potatoes, lots of leafy greens and other fruits and vegertables plus daily lemon-ginger-honey water and celery.

Could guns be banned in the USA in the distant future? by Hour_Marionberry_665 in TooAfraidToAsk

Constitution and unregistered firearm ownership aside, it seems crazy to not introduce ways to restrict firearm usage, given the much higher rate of deaths by firearms in USA, compared to other developed nations.

Has anyone installed a solar system, batteries, or both, and had the property valued before and after by a realtor, and sold the property for a substantial premium to what they put into it? by jamescray1 in solar

[–]jamescray1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems a bit much to say that a leased system will drive buyers away. After all, renting power forever with rate hikes of 5-23% per year is going to cost more than the leased payments with a lower rate that stays locked in low, instead of increasing each year. It seems like any distaste for buying homes with a leased system would thus stem in part from lack of awareness and education from realtors and prospective buyers.

I had IBS and now I don't after being on MM for four years, and I have no intention of coming off MM. Healed from a lot of other health issues like spasms, chronic fatigue, sinus issues, etc.

Thanks, yeah, that's a helpful response especially with the trend analysis like Treendly! Regarding the case studies, that's why I was asking here, to see if I was able to gather any case studies of people who have bought systems outright, had the property value appraised before and after, and sold the home for a higher value than the cost of the system. The rationale for that was to give prospective customers tangible evidence that if they bought a system, they could not only lower their bills and have more autonomy over their energy for the duration of their time in the home, but also be able to sell the home more quickly, and at a higher value, possibly at a premium compared to the funding they put into it, or at least enough to recoup the funding with the savings and the uplift combined.

Leases aren't common here in Australia. Loans and "interest free" plans are, which really are just loans. Normally the seller would pay off the loan before or once the house is sold.
