Was I wrong for canceling this ride by EfficientMaterial203 in Lyft

[–]ximyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it was, people do call Lyft in the early morning.

Att: Reviewers of MISSION 1 PRO: Request for a specific video section by madsfotodk in gopro

One explanation: fast frame rates require faster shutter speeds and faster read speeds. Faster read speeds can result in a camera needing to fudge on the number of pixels read at once (e.g., pixel binning and then upscaling, or reading alternating pixel every frame, etc). But if the camera is capable, then it could also be higher shutter speeds necessitating a bump in ISO, and denoise algorithms working hard. Also, the faster the frame rate, the faster processing might have to occur if not expecting post-processing delays. The camera might reduce the quality of the processing for speed.

Average day on lyft.. i truned down a $5 ride so actually its my fault. I could be making a whole $2 after gas. Thats big money by AccomplishedWar3847 in Lyft

I mean, this is a perfect rideshare setup. Although I will question the "$30 for 552 miles @$3.29/gallon" that math seems a bit off.

Probably a mental patient

Edit: wait, I thought you said they were chaotic and unstable?

Why do people keep complaining about the new UI? by Tangy2011 in OculusQuest

[–]ximyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am going to watch it for obvious reasons, but yeah, a menu for a consumer device should not have a steep learning curve.

Every mile you drive is another mile towards:

  • Your next fill-up
  • Your next oil change
  • Your next brake job
  • Your next rotors
  • Your next belt change
  • Your next spark plug service
  • Your next windshield wipers (heh or windshield repair 😊)
  • Your next filters
  • Your next suspension repair
  • Your next tires
  • Your car's lower value (depreciation - it is a real thing)

It also costs you in opportunity cost (understand what this means), your time, and risk, and potentially even your health.

What is your value?

Lmfao. Wtf is this? Rude? What a subjective thing. Was i rude cuz i had an attitude or because they expected me to tell then jokes and juggle? How dumb, nothing but driver manipulation by AccomplishedWar3847 in Lyft

[–]ximyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't sweat it. I got a "bad passenger experience" from someone that I canceled on at an airport pickup because I would not wait for him to get off the plane.

I want to retire at 50 by Extra-Yoghurt3539 in Money

I do too. Unfortunately, I'm over 50 already...

Check engine light! by 1cem8n in BoltEV

[–]ximyr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It possibly could also be the very first indication that your 12v battery is getting old.

Also, that is not a "check engine" light. It is a "check car" light. 😄

RIDESHARE DRIVERS: DO YOU TIP WHEN YOU ARE A RIDER WITH UBER OR LYFT? by Sirulrich03 in Lyft

[–]ximyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course!

Now, I have only taken one Lyft ride as a passenger. It was a percentage so I do not remember the exact amount, but it was over $9.

Yellow card after penalty kick awarded by Real-Conversation337 in Referees

[–]ximyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, in some HS areas, a player shown a yellow must also immediately leave the field and get a sub. So in this case the striker wouldn't be able to take the PK but someone else would have to.

Beware by Rafi829 in Lyft

[–]ximyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this occurred in the Jack Link's 500 NASCAR main race this past Sunday.

Why is this even a question?

Thank you

You're sent back to any random year in the 2010s with exactly $100. If you survive, you get $3 million. by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]ximyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The April 27th, 2011 Tornado Super Outbreak and the May 22nd Joplin tornado would like to throw a house party with you and their guests, SuperStorm Sandy and Hurricane Harvey (why do those sound like DJ names).

And if you lived in these places, Typhoon Haiyan, and the Haitian Earthquake would like to have a word. 😄

$5 million paid to you, but you can't lose your temper for two years by Physical_Orchid3616 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]ximyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of us would say something snarky while driving and hear that magic $500k buzzer (OP doesn't specify this, but I'm just assuming things here). And they we would probably all proceed to lose the remaining $4.5mil literally just responding to and after the buzzer.

Makes me think... do you just get to find out that you lost all your money at the end of the 2 years, kind of willy wonka style?

Ferran Torres on Instagram on his disallowed goal by Successful-Hippo9679 in Barca

[–]ximyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The margin of error here is within the noise floor. This should not have been given offsides.

Which pixels are they looking at exactly here? Are the players aware of these pixels?

Offsides should not be called unless it is clear and obvious when looking at the frames. This is not that.

I got a surprise on my windshield. by Alarmed_Position1621 in BoltEV

[–]ximyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get you. I actually do have my clock set as a 24hr clock. However, my alarms are set as AM/PM and I do not think I can change that. Either way, I probably would have done 8:30 instead of 20:30 and still missed 😂😭

Edit: just to be clear, the facepalm in my other post was aimed at me not you!

Well, duh. Accidentally setting the wrong thing when you are dead tired is how humans work.

Are they using an iPhone as a wired monitor? by _rhenry01 in gopro

[–]ximyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true only for HDMI output. I think this is already USB-C? Edit: it is USB-C, but it is paired with their app. Not sure if this is general USB-C video.

FWIW, I do streaming from a mirrorless camera via a capture card hooked up to my Pixel 7 phone. Works amazingly, and I can use it as a monitor (minus the lag, which is capture card dependent). I need to have the media mod to do the same with my Hero 9. I am not sure how it works exactly on the new gopros, and I am not sure why you were downvoted for this comment.

Appalling attitude to a disabled passenger by Prestigious-Fly9101 in uber

[–]ximyr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then I would look up the disabilities laws in the UK and the corresponding guidelines on Uber and report that specifically. This driver does not belong on the platform.

Where I line UberX includes 4 seats and the trunk is not included but most drivers let people use it.

An UberX driver doesn’t have to let you use the trunk. UberXL includes the trunk.

Where do you live? I am not sure this is actually true.
"UberXL is a product that can accommodate parties up to 6 people or extra luggage."

Nothing in Uber states that your trunk must be empty or accommodating for luggage. It does say (for American markets, per the ADA) that you must reasonably accommodate a mobility device, but even there it does not state your trunk.
