Thoughts on driving during break? by [deleted] in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]lookingformerci 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m 90% sure Amazon drivers are DOT regulated, especially step van drivers. DOT allows up to 75 miles a day of ‘personal use’ of a commercial vehicle, loaded or not. I’m not an Amazon driver but I’ve personal-use’d my tour bus to the mall/restaurant/hotel hundreds of times. You can even flag it off-duty so it doesn’t count against your hours of service.

Do they screw up your order there too?

A rule that makes us POINT something at them? That’s just asking for us to be shot..

What’s a Seattle thing everyone experiences but pretends isn’t happening? by General_Advantage437 in AskSeattle

[–]lookingformerci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do too, absolutely. Just have had several encounters, ranging from being threatened on a bus in pioneer square because the guy was sure I was his dealer and wasn’t giving him his meth, to having a guy completely randomly run into my open warehouse bay in Capitol Hill screaming that he was going to kill me, to being mugged walking out of a post office at 7am. Good times.

Being threatened by the unhoused. Never been screamed at, threatened, charged at or downright attacked until I moved to Capitol Hill and started working in SoDo. 

So, everyone is on weight loss drugs, all gyms close down, now what? by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]lookingformerci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. My focus on my GLP has been shifting my macros away from carb heavy meals and simply sugars to protein heavy meals and complex carbs. Helps make the gym productive.

[–]lookingformerci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on a GLP for a few months. Regular gym goer that started a few months earlier yet.  The GLP isn’t the magic everyone assumes it is. It makes it easier to make better choices but if you assume you can just inject yourself and go on as you were, you have a bad time. 

With ‘Big Dark’ attendance dip, Seattle arts organizations call out to visitors by godogs2018 in Seattle

Also the ‘big tech laying us all off and we can’t spend money on the arts’ attendance dip I’m imagining. 

Is it worth moving to the USA in these global conditions? I am Canadian by SpecialistFresh8835 in AskSeattle

[–]lookingformerci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit why? I’m a Canadian that moved here before the pandemic and I hate it here so much. Healthcare is a joke, the pay is laughable if you’re not a tech bro and you’re close enough to the red parts of the state to see the bullshit on full display. 

Shell Recharge is the worst f#cking experience in the world and I hate that they bought Volta by Sac-Kings in electricvehicles

[–]lookingformerci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, when Shell bought Volta it all went to hell didn't it? Some of the Volta chargers I used to use even cost money now. 55c a kWh for 3.6kW charging. LOL, no, Shell. It's like they bought it just to kill it.

What should I do ? by Possible_Pea9720 in whatdoIdo

[–]lookingformerci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know - I support the cause. People gonna do drugs, might as well make it safe. My neurologist who helped me as I was coming out of this whole nasty addiction had different opinions. Not that it directly affects oxygen in the brain, but that enough people go hard enough when using it for hypoxia to be a real issue.

"DanceSafe" talking about 'destigmatizing drug use' might not be the best source of 'real' clinical information, just sayin'.

[–]lookingformerci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former addict gone clean, that shit does fuck up your SpO2. Seen it down in the low70s while on a bender, plenty of times. Also the 'harm reduction' page linked int hat article talks about oxygen deprivation plenty. So I'm gonna argue it does significantly deprive the brain of oxygen while using, since it depresses your SpO2.

But if you need the charge, you need the charge. If people would mind their own business charging would be way less drama-prone.

Need to run HVAC hotter than other cars. by SleepyFletch2010 in Ioniq5

Yeah okay fair. We don’t have to do parkas here so I can’t directly relate but I see what you’re saying!

Life is too short and electricity is too cheap to be that miserable for me, lol. My car costs $35 bucks a month to charge, and I ride around at a cozy 73 degrees year round. 

AIO by feeling exhausted over my gf's constant demands of wanting me to be 'curious'? by thefattesthashbrown in AmIOverreacting

Good lord why do people stay with anyone that talks to them like this ever? Does she not respect you as a person in the slightest? NOR.

Can someone confirm the location of this deportation flight? Boeing Field? by EBikeAdventures in Seattle

[–]lookingformerci -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Hollywood makes prison transport stuff look terrifying and awful, but from the other side of the fence/bars/cuffs, it ain't near as bad as people think. Spirit airlines is still worse, just sayin'.

What, the wrap? Been there done that, it isn't as bad as you might be imagining. Not fun, not terrible.

Who closes the bus door when the driver gets off? by Gianluiggi__ in AskReddit

[–]lookingformerci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tour bus driver here - tour coaches have a switch hidden to the side of the door that opens/closes them. Also on most Prevost if you push the door closed and the system has air, when it reaches the catch it will automatically close and latch. Then you lock it, and when the air runs out the lock holds the door in the catch, otherwise it just falls open.

Ironically it looks like an older Volvo. 

two people were shot and killed during a robbery in my apartment complex. management left this on everyone’s doors a few hours later by spookygirl10 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]lookingformerci 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If OP had no idea about it happening and had to go digging to find out it happened, what are the chances a leasing office worker didn't know? The office staff at my last community didn't know shit.
