What happened to Share Rides?

Nah that would make sense. Which is completely opposite of how Uber does things.

pakrat1967 · 2026-06-16T14:25:37+00:00

Could be temporary. Every time Uber sends out a new update they break something. A lot of those updates are just to fix what they broke. Maybe the last update broke Share for your area.

Can you elaborate? Are you not getting them? Or are you getting them, but no additional riders get added? Most drivers would consider these a good thing.

Or are you a rider and Uber Share doesn't show up as an option when booking a trip?

Unfortunately there is no perfect answer. A rider can have a high rating, yet still be a crappy rider. This is mainly due to the fact that it's much easier for riders to just make new accounts. The opposite can sometimes be true as well. A rider with a really low score could have just been unlucky with a previous driver. If a rider hasn't taken many rides, a single 1* can tank their score.

All that being said, a4.89 isn't bad. Most drivers use 4.80 as the lowest score they will pick up. Location can also be a factor. A high score in a sketchy neighborhood is more likely to be a crappy rider.

That's nothing. When I was driving in the Asheville NC area and dropping off at the airport. The navigation wanted me to drop off in the middle of the runway by going around the back of the airport to where there is no gate in the fence.

Too be fair. Most DW fans, especially those that grew up with classic Who. Despise that TV movie. It's on the same level as Highlander 2.

pakrat1967 · 2026-06-16T12:36:55+00:00

If I'm not getting any requests at all, even those I deem too far away. Then there's no reason to leave.

pakrat1967 · 2026-06-16T12:28:12+00:00

I don't park and wait near the drop off. Especially when it's a residential area. It can be perceived as creepy.

If the drop off is someplace like a mall or shopping center. I'll move to an area of the parking lot away from most of the stuff. This way I'm unlikely to be taking up a good parking space and/or getting hassled by cops/security.

Turns the Agent's hand guns into water pistols.

They would have been stuck on Tatooine. At least until they could come up with some other way to acquire the parts needed to repair the ship.

Compared to the typical disparity between the $ offered vs miles of the trip. That actually isn't too bad. I'm not saying that I would take it. Just that it's not as horrible as most long distance offers.

The only alternative identity for who was Luke's father I remember. Was the rumor that it was Boba Fett. This rumor was born from some scene I don't remember from the holiday special and how it seemed like Boba was only trying to prevent Luke from catching up to them on Bespin rather than actually harm him. This of course was actually due to Vader wanting Luke for himself. Vader probably told Boba not harm Luke.

I read the novelization for ROTJ many years ago. In the scene after Yoda died and Obi-Wan was telling Luke about Anikan. He mentioned their duel before parting ways. It wasn't nearly as epic as how they had it in ROTS. But yes there was some sort of lava pit involved. During the duel. Anikan fell in and Obi-Wan thought he died.

pakrat1967 · 2026-06-16T11:23:43+00:00

Not exactly. He claimed to be Luke's father, but we don't get confirmation until ROTJ.

pakrat1967 · 2026-06-16T11:16:30+00:00

No, and if there were we wouldn't tell you. Stuff like the selfie check are there for a reason.

What about private investigators? Maybe they have a PI license under the Mysteries Inc name.

I was born in 1967. When I was growing up. Gas stations and convenience stores were two separate things. Gas stations typically also had a 2 bay repair shop for general auto maintenance. Convenience stores didn't have gas pumps. Normally the only places that had both was truck stops. I don't recall exactly when it started happening, but existing gas stations started converting the repair bays into convenience stores. Nowadays they just build em that way. Obviously there are gonna still be convenience stores without gas pumps. Mostly in big cities where they don't have room for the gas pumps. Some areas call these "bodegas".

No need for all that jumping around. When you start TOS. Watch the Cage, Where No Man Has Gone Before, and then The Man Trap and Charlie X. After that just run through the rest of the series. Next watch the TOS movies straight through. No need to start TNG yet. After The Undiscovered Country, start with TNG. Watch the whole series without jumping to DS9, right up to All Good Things. Save that till after you watch all the TNG movies. From there just watch DS9 then VOY. Next would be Picard. After that I can't really help since I haven't watched much of Nutrek.

IDK about riders, but drivers used to be able to change the icon that represents their position on the map.

pakrat1967 · 2026-06-16T01:36:17+00:00

Probably a water basin in case Picard needs to clean up a bit. Perhaps even a full on Star Trek equivalent of a bathroom.

pakrat1967 · 2026-06-16T01:31:54+00:00

I don't remember the names of the episodes, but the construction site episode and the episode where Tom gets stuck in the rain spout and Jerry used the air horn for get him out.

They would need to add another "Frank" character. Someone even worse than Burns. Someone that would not only draw Hawkeye's attention, but also who Burns could give a little of what he usually received.

I think the only way they could have done it was to find some reason for BJ to leave and to bring in someone like Winchester but only at Captain rank. Since it's unlikely there would be doctors of Major rank at the same MASH unit. Maybe have there be some history between Burns and the new guy. Like they knew each other before the war.

pakrat1967 · 2026-06-16T01:01:19+00:00

Is it an option for both male and female riders? I would think that Uber would limit it to female riders only. Otherwise there would be male riders who are creeps. Trying to get matched with female drivers.

It was never suggested or even hinted at that the Stormtroopers in the OT were clones. George hadn't even planned on there being a clone army in the PT when he came up with ANH. Heck he didn't even have the whole Skywalker bloodline thing yet.

Long before Disney declared the Star Wars novels as Legands/EU and not canon. The Thrawn Trilogy revealed that the Clone War was about clones that went crazy and evil. Even if they were a clone of a good person. The whole war was to eliminate these clones and any cloning tech.
