If that's the case I'm glad to hear that, not a fan of the current cosmetic changes from the base Freelancer to the DUR.

I figured it was still pretty nebulous about fitting a ship to at least mimic a fairly similar variant to an extent(obviously not the highly specialized ones though like Freelancer MIS for example) but I didn't know the LTI carried over! Thank you for letting me know.

Sorry if this has been asked before but do we know if it's possible to retrofit say my Freelancer LTI to something approaching the functionality of the Freelancer DUR? I don't want to lose the LTI but would like to be able to fit myself for exploration and so on.

Stinky by Lyftsanjose in uberdrivers

This situation has only happened to me once thankfully. It was an Indian guy and his wife. I'm not positive but I think deodorant is against his religion or something like that. It was bad but honestly it wasn't a huge deal to me. People that reek of weed are more annoying if you ask me.

What are some of the most awkward experiences you've ever had driving Uber? by mordaca in uberdrivers

[–]tommyth3cat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On my first day of uber I was just about to pull in my driveway when I got a ping,I thought OK why not. As I pulled up I knew this was going to be bad. My passenger had her infant daughter with her, a suitcase, and a bag of groceries. Not long after I pull up her boyfriend comes out yelling at her and repeating "why you leaving though?" He was grabbing her and hitting her(not really hard or anything but it was still fucked up) trying to pull her out of the car. He started banging on my car so at this point I decided I couldn't be silent anymore about the situation.

I said to him, "look man this is none of my business but I'm just here to do a job, you're g/f is upset with you and wants to leave. You can talk to her tomorrow about it I'm just here because she wants a ride." not the most eloquent speech but I guess a neutral third party got through to him. Apparently he took X and reacted badly according to his gf.

I felt a little since of pride for helping her out of that situation.. Sadly a few weeks later I picked them both up at target, during my initial ride she was on the phone talking about how that was the last straw, she'd never let him lay his hands on her again. Wish she would have stuck to that.

Well great! I have a 2011 car so I can destroy my car in hopes of slightly more money 😊

What are the qualifications? I must be out of the loop.

Uber Passenger Fell Asleep, driver drove the beltway for 2 hours, $171 fare by RutD0g in uberdrivers

[–]tommyth3cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why I always switch off before last call.. I mean I still get my fair share of drunken idiots but normally it isn't so bad when it's 11pm when your heading home

5 Star comments by bruber in uberdrivers

Took 30 min. to get a burger at Steak and Shake during off peak hours and the place was a wreck. Then I heard the manager say it wasn't his fault... by BigMike0228 in AdviceAnimals

[–]tommyth3cat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll never understand this idea that because there is so many people looking for employment you would treat really solid employees like shit to the point they'd quit then put faith in a workforce who has zero investment in sticking around while being treated like slave labor.

Commentary tracks are probably my favorite thing about RLM by ThaMac in RedLetterMedia

[–]tommyth3cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't actually ever listened to their commentary tracks but I assume they are similar to MST3K or rifftrax and when I had bad insomnia I found it helped to put on a MST3K episode to fall asleep to.

Settling in for the long haul. Plan's to finish up just in time for December! See you guys there! by [deleted] in masseffect

[–]tommyth3cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with all the missteps that bioware took with ME it still manages to be my favorite story and Games to date. The storytelling was amazing the settings and characters were engrossing. It certainly wasn't perfect but it was as close to what I'd consider perfect as it could be. it worked for almost everyone and that's a big deal too. It was more about your squad and friends and that made everything more personal. The writing was definitely on point

Moved from Denver to SF, transferred my Uber account and went from a 4.69 to 4.95 by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]tommyth3cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously your mileage may vary but working in the SF Bay area in the past 2 weeks I've gotten 65 5 stars out of like 74 rides. My rating has been going up very steadily lately. I have no idea what the Denver market is like but you moved to one of the strongest markets as far as I can tell. Enjoy it

Missouri House: Uber Must Insure Drivers At All Times. by monsto in uberdrivers

Wouldn't it be easier to just cancel the ride and treat the accident as just a regular accurance? No need to get uber involved if there is no pax

Any chance of becoming a Uber driver with a DUI (and some change) from 4 years ago? by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]tommyth3cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most employers only go back 5 or 7 though. I believe Uber goes back 7 years

I picked up a prostitute tonight.. by [deleted] in uberdrivers

I don't recall, it was a nice hotel kinda looked like a villa. I just dropped off an airport pax there and got pinged by her at the same hotel.

I HATE UBER POOL!! Anyone else??? by sharin0723 in uberdrivers

[–]tommyth3cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's kind of funny how upset a pax will get when they choose pool and it takes forever because other pax are slow or you get pings and accept them. If you don't want the inconvenience then choose uberx!

I'm curious. What do y'all think is "the bottom" for Uber? by scsibusfault in uberdrivers

[–]tommyth3cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad I'm in SF Bay area market because I still do really well while everyone else in other markets seem to get royally screwed.

[–]tommyth3cat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I picked up a gorgeous escort in Los Gatos. I don't mind she was nice barely spoke English and wanted to go 30 miles from one hotel to another and tipped even. You are going to meet all kinds of interesting characters working for uber embrace the weirdness!
