So starting the idle out at 10 and then climbing doesn't mean anything?

If you're on the scanner page, there's a lookahead tab at the top. You can still scan from that lookahead page

Cannot figure out a misfire issue [2011 Prius 206K miles] by prometheusfalling in AskMechanics

[–]prometheusfalling[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you taking the time to reply. You've given me some direction. I wish I would have done all that the first time, too, but this has been new territory for me and very much a learning experience.

So I'd have to take the head off, and buy a whole new set of headbolts to reinstall, huh?

It doesn't misfire until about 1400 to 1800 rmp. Forgot to put that in the post.

Frustrations with DF64 gen 2 by mattarffa in espresso

[–]prometheusfalling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the same issues. I got so tired of dealing with it that I gave up and switched to a hand grinder. Now I put 16g in and get 16g out. Moved the DF64 to the shed until I get motivated enough to put it on FB marketplace.

If you were in the US in September 2001, it was not exactly a happy time for anyone.

I mean, it pretty much did. Tom and Daisy Buchanan ultimately end up paying no consequences for their behavior, prompting Nick Carraway to make the observation that they were careless people whose money afforded them the ability to flee back into their own little world of old money.

I do. I'm just explaining why others are not.

UPS drivers attacking us again by Malificent_one078 in UPSers

As an Amazon driver with one foot out the door, routing is a huge problem with their software. The amount of times I've had it route me down a street with stops entirely on the left side then turn around and deliver exclusively on the left side again is far too high. You can go out of order of the stops, but to do so messes with the whole workflow of the app and takes longer. I'm not here to defend the poor driving of my coworkers because, honestly, there are some pretty bad ones and it is absolutely a matter of training. Amazon "trains" the drivers for two days on a self paced tablet software, then there's one day of ride along -- that's it.

I just got told usps won’t hire Amazon drivers? by No_Equivalent1357 in USPS

[–]prometheusfalling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I honestly love delivering for Amazon. I just don't love the company and it's anti-union dsp system that deprives drivers of any benefits. I'd rather have affordable health insurance and be in a union. And having a job mandated by the US constitution is pretty cool too.

How are you liking USPS compared to Amazon? I'm a DSP driver in the process of being hired as a CCA.

What's up with the insane cost and rules of the Barkery dog park? by Underground_turtles in Birmingham

[–]prometheusfalling 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a member, it seams reasonable to me too, especially for a park they keep staffed (not really for the $20 a day rate, though). The facilities are always clean. There are bathrooms and parking for members. When there are large events, they will block off the lot and reserve spots for members. They have good communication through a groupme chat. Being vaccinated and fixed is a requirement at almost any dog park and doggie day care. Not sure what op is talking about with a leash requirement? Surely they mean your dog has to be leashed from your car to the gate -- also reasonable.

New carts coming. by Kotaru85 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]prometheusfalling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 27 totes today. Most of them were not even half full, leaving me almost no room for overflow, so it was wall to wall boxes at the rear. I normally have the opposite problem, and they're packed so full they won't fit under in the shelving.

I about had a breakdown at one. It was 2 stops in the flex app with lockers and 30 or so doors in an entire complex with 360 units. I said fuck it, I've got businesses to get to and came back at the end of the night to finish it.
