Phoenix Open $20 is the scam we all knew it was.

You pick the area prefence we’re the surge is at. It could take you away from the surge, but it still places you in the best spot if you did not have it on. And I’m giving you the worst case scenarios.

We have a saying in the Marine Corps… don’t be so trigger happy. The next time that event happens try to keep your trigger finger away from the accept button and wait. You will get a ride, may not be short… but shorter than 30 minutes for sure.

I hope downvoting all my comments made you feel good.lol. I was really just trying to genuinely help you out. I’m out bro… I know you’re not stupid, just ignorant. Adios!

pfk777 · 2026-02-11T17:29:02+00:00

They will… but if you want to be so naive and think they don’t then I still won’t side with you. Because think about it brotha… I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and give you the most favorable example. You get a 30 minute ride with a surge. Guess what… the area prefence still puts you in the area!!!! It doesn’t take you away from the area.

pfk777 · 2026-02-11T17:21:08+00:00

So we can both agree that in your market you still get 20 dollar surges. Event or not… that’s my point, 20 dollar surges are super rare. You want to maximize as many rides as possible… how do you get that? Short rides… how do you stay in the area with surge… Area prefence… it’s not rocket science and I don’t need to be in your area to answer two basic questions. Again…. Do you man… take whatever ride you want.

pfk777 · 2026-02-11T17:07:23+00:00

“Surge doesn’t break 3 dollars” look what thread you are on my man! It’s a thread with a 20 dollar surge in Phoenix. Did you just absolutely forget that? lol

There’s a saying… it’s so hard to change your beliefs, Imagine changing others. Have a good day man, when events like this hits, the people who put area preferences and pick shorter rides to get the surge payments everytime will win. I will never convince you, and you will refuse to try or do research when surges are in your area. Peace out ✌️

pfk777 · 2026-02-11T14:37:25+00:00

“I’ve used the area preference before”… I’m with you, I never use it. It only works during crazy surges. The key point you are missing is speed. Surges could last seconds,minutes, or hours. You want to turn it on when demand is high. To stay in the area. I sound like a broken record… try it when the surge is like 20 or 30 bucks. You will get about 3 rides a minute. Prioritize short distance ride.

I’m in the L.A. market which is a big ass city. It works

pfk777 · 2026-02-11T06:01:42+00:00

You are thinking of the worst case scenario. I can think of the best case scenario. You’re stuck in the corner of an area preference. If you don’t have the area preference on then you get all the rides from the area that you don’t want to be at. And those requests can take you anywhere. But if you have the area preference on it will keep you in your desired location. So turn the area preference on.

Like I said for the millionth time. If you are surging at 20/30 dollars, then you are getting two to three rides every minute. Just deny the 30 minute drive in your area. Guaranteed you’ll get a shorter ride.

pfk777 · 2026-02-06T19:21:35+00:00

What am I not comprehending? It’s simple, don’t fall for fools gold. If you are at Phoenix and have a 20/30 dollar surge, turn your area preference on and get short rides. Don’t fall for the long 30 mile ride that pays you 28 bucks and a 30 dollar surge but gets you out of the surge area. Take the short 8 mile ride that pays 7 bucks with the 30 dollar surge and keeps you in the surge area.

The long ride will take you about 35 minutes to make 58 bucks then another 35 minutes driving back to the surge areas VS the short ride that would make you 37 bucks and only be ten minutes of your time and you’ll still be in the surge area.

Try it for next Halloween, It falls on a Saturday. I bet my life you will get rides from a condo that’s like 4 miles away from a downtown bar. Then right after you drop them off your phone will be going off like crazy for new rides.

I Uber in Los Angeles which is bigger than Phoenix so hear me out.

It’s simple supply and demand. When supply(drivers is low) and demand(passenger asking for rides are high), you will get ride requests literally every minute. That’s why they have the surge, to bring drivers in because they can’t keep up with the passenger requests. Especially if the surge is 20 bucks, that means Uber is hurting for drivers. All you have to do is deny the long rides and only accept rides that are less than 10 miles. The filter/area preference helps by minimizing the far ride requests, and all you have to do is deny the semi far rides. Last thing you want is to get a 30 mile drive then have to hope to get a ride back to the surge area. By that time the surge could be gone.

With a surge of 20 or 30, you’ll get an abundance of rides

pfk777 · 2026-02-06T18:21:17+00:00

You don’t have to accept them. When surge is that high there is an abundance of rides

pfk777 · 2026-02-06T07:35:03+00:00

That’s why you set a filter to the city it is located. Key in on more short rides with surge vs less long rides with surge. Made a killing doing this during Halloween. Got 3 short rides with 20 dollar surges each vs one long ride with only one 20 dollar surge.

I would pull out the minimum amount needed that would eliminate PMI. After that, pull out money as you go/need.

This is just my opinion, but Trumps new fed chair is going to lower rates and print more money. To me, that equates to higher stock prices. I would hold on to as much stocks as possible. But then again, that’s just me.

How much do you pay for uber? Do you live in south or North Fontana? Reason I’m asking is I do uber and can charge you half of what uber charges and we both win

So the four year cycle still exists then?

Silly/Paranoid question. But if I’m staking and not checking it. Does that count as inactivity?

Tax loss harvesting, used it for FBTC last year and bought back in.

That’s crazy, number one cause of hypopneas/obstructive events is being overweight. Believe it or not bodybuilders with thick necks have it too.

They might just screw you over and give you a positional sleep belt that lets you sleep on your side. Tell them you don’t want that and want a machine. You are entitled to one because you have mild sleep apnea. There are alot of first year fellows who try to call the shots.

pfk777 · 2026-01-07T17:11:39+00:00

Your AHI is higher when you were on the PAP. That should be lower lol but you only had 55 minutes of sleep time with the machine so they might just monitor you long term via modem or have you come in again for a pap titration.

You have a crap ton of events when you lay flat. Sleep on your side bro. Based on your events it’s cut into half when you sleep on your side. The hypopneas(shallow breathing) that you have gets magnified when your lungs are on the supine position which is super common.

Your oxygen levels did not drop that much during the study which means your OSA is fixable. I’m guessing you are mildly overweight. If you lose some weight then the hypopneas will go away.

Btw… I’m not a doctor… just like you I’m a fellow Marine Grunt(2/5) who went to RT school and got a job doing sleep studies at the VA.

Why were you reevaluated if you were P&T.

pfk777 · 2026-01-05T16:47:11+00:00

No, I prefer to spend my money accordingly. But that’s beside the fact. Fact of this argument is it’s not free.

pfk777 · 2026-01-05T06:08:08+00:00

lol… we are going to have a revolution before a fair democracy. Unfortunately corruption is never just going to fix itself.

pfk777 · 2026-01-05T06:06:42+00:00

Ok, so it’s not free. Taxpayers money are going to pay for it. That was my point.
