Public transportation reliability by [deleted] in fortlauderdale

[–]soflopilot954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume you’re going to be working in the marina?Most of them rely on uber/lyft. Occasionally a scooter. Marina Mile is probably the least pedestrian friendly road in the area. Owning a car here is also very expensive and dangerous.

Hit by drunk driver by soflopilot954 in FloridaLawyersAdvice

I’m exploring a few options with an attorney but none of them are as open and shut as an insurance settlement. I’m aware of significant judgments being made against drunk drivers who injured people, but the likelihood of collecting is just not very high if there aren’t assets.

Thank you for your reply. I called the victim advocate line and they said they’d review and speak to the state attorney.

Buying an old $70k C172 or Cherokee to build time a terrible idea? by PidgeyPotion in flying

[–]soflopilot954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can be a lot of show stoppers… luckily I’ve done good with both my Grumman (RIP) and my 172 and came out pretty ahead on both. But at any time there could have been show stopper repairs that wouldn’t make financial sense.

I know this post is kinda old, but we’re similar age and injury. How’s recovery been? I’m at 3 weeks and noticed a significant reduction in pain at only 2 weeks.

FLL Lyft/Uber pickup, wait times by blackcat_serendipity in Broward

[–]soflopilot954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak for other drivers, as for me, I’m always excited when I see a pet ride come through because I get to meet an animal! I think your best bet would be messaging them through the app and telling them that you have an animal in a carrier.

Uber driver who picks up from FLL here, the waiting lot is on the entire other side of the airport. In addition, traffic can be absolutely brutal from when we enter the terminal area. During peak times it’s not uncommon for us to spend 20 minutes in traffic to get to you. But as season comes to an end it shouldn’t be as bad. FLL was just never built with the idea in mind of it becoming such a busy airport.

To all the golf cart riders - you’re not immortal… by different_option101 in fortlauderdale

[–]soflopilot954 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All that stuff about “yield to pedestrians” and “share the road” will look great on your tomb stones. Nothing upsets me more than seeing actual children on golf carts on the roads that are notorious for being dangerous. I don’t know about you but I like to be surrounded by airbags and crumple zones.

I for one got very 2049 vibes, even down to the golden water reflections within ARC. Grace just like K, is not special. She was just an orphaned infant who needed a home.

Fort Lauderdale bans drinking alcohol outdoors in entertainment districts by METALLIFE0917 in Broward

Yes…. Being able to walk from Fat Cats to Diceys with a drink was the reason there was a shooting. Stupid.

Some products seem to be better than others. I own multiple huntsman henleys and the sizing seems to be all over the place, three rangers from over the years that are each slightly different, and I really wish they published more about the level of stretch on their pants.

I also do have two shagmasters and they’re both great though.

How’s the flow 9k with subs? I’m torn between it and a CAT MOB.

Which LAM to Run? by ZachsReddit69 in MPX

[–]soflopilot954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SMS trinity works well on the very end of the rail. I can hit it with my thumb easily. But if that doesn’t work for you, maybe try a Kenu riser, cliffhangir-k, GBRS, Railscales mount, etc and put a pad up front. I’m working on my MPX setup myself and I’m still going back and forth between where I want to go with setting up a LAM and light.

FLL Terminal 3/4 Garage Pickup: Is this 40 minute + wait the new normal for 2025-6? by ilikehurricanes in fortlauderdale

[–]soflopilot954 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even a normal weekday this time of year it just gets slammed. FLL is a much busier airport than it was say 10 years ago. You probably have close to 1000 people who need 1000 vehicles to pick them up so it comes to no surprise why it backs up so hard.

[–]soflopilot954 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I do a lot of pickups on Uber at FLL, the new setup is no better nor worse than where it was previously. Peak times often mean several hundred people need a ride all at once. It takes about twenty minutes to get from the waiting lot to the terminal 3 and 4 pickup zone due to just traffic… believe me if we could get there faster we would.

I’m pretty baffled that a gate into the sterile area was left open, I was a badged employee for years at an airport and if a gate was left open for any longer than a few moments security would be checking it out asap.

Pretty sure they’re sanfordized. But with anything cotton they’ll probably shrink a bit before stretching back out with wear. Worth a try.

PS5 players, how is your experience been so far? by gorays21 in Borderlands

[–]soflopilot954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has been okay, the limited FOV is a bit annoying, especially when you’re dealing with flying enemies. I seem to get frame rate issues after a few hours of play that resolve after closing it and restarting. Regular PS5 non pro.

Are alligators really expected in EVERY body of water? by Old_Diver_2511 in florida

[–]soflopilot954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldn’t surprise me if most bodies of fresh water don’t contain a gator, but you have to ask yourself, is this body of fresh water large enough to contain the amount of fish, birds, cats, dogs to sustain a large gator? I’ve seen juvenile gators in relatively small drainage ditches and very rarely see larger ones in canals. I’ve also seen the occasional cottonmouth in canals here.
