real bbq is the one food you can't get here, the bay area maxes out at "acceptable" for some reason

probably because if you were running a smoker 24/7 your neighbors would sue you and get you shut down

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

do people not realize that you can just slow cook bbq at home and spend that time doing literally anything else

especially since the tech bubble has seen fit to provide us internet enabled grills and smokers

http://www.gizmag.com/lynx-voice-command-smart-grill/31535/

for some reason, an internet connected grill that relies on downloaded recipes to determine when and how long to fire up its burners doesn't sound like that smart an idea

doubly so since it's supposed to be some set-it and forget it type appliance

yeah there was something similar to chariot that was doing a fidi <> marina route a couple years ago but it didn't pan out, I think no matter what you can't beat traffic

cole valley seems weird because the N runs like right there

all of them seem to think they can gloss over not being able to beat traffic by providing cheap charter bus level amenities while riding, lol

you wont be able to sign up

reminder that we know a guy down in little rock that bought a new STi to augment his 370z (yeah i know) under the predication that he could drive uber to pay for it

not checking with uber to see if they'd allow a silver subaru to drive regular tier uber

they would not

so i went to brunch with my white friend on sunday to some upscale brunch place called "Dottie's" on 6th street which is a whole story in its own, but she tells me about this new bus/uber/lyft alternative called "Chariot" where you pay $4 to hop in a van that has a semi-preselected route but the driver asks what stop you want and if no one wants the transamerican pyramid for example, then they skip it.

so of course this basically just sounds like what bus systems were before they failed as private companies and turned public, but the big selling point for her was that they could instantly get more vans on the road when they needed them, and take them off when they weren't needed. i asked what were they doing with the extra vans and drivers when they aren't needed, she said the workers were doing stuff in the office. i wake up this morning, turns out chariot is storing their extra vans in front of my apartment

lol at your white friend, lol at all white people

the whole original point of uber was to ape black car services at a discount so you could feel white on a budget

Yup. They do. Back when I was on the bench at my old consulting gig I thought about doing uber for the gently caress of it but they didn't allow mustangs or any other coupes

Now there's an app that informs users which people to become friends with and whom to avoid based off stress levels? Definitely sounds interesting... What do you think? Could this app inform users of which bills to pay and which not to pay, those can be stressful too!
Regardless, pplkpr should definitely post their apps on the M.A.P. MobileAppsPost. Your Map For All Apps.

I don't know if you guys get to experience this, but down in Dixie it's a big dick-swingin' thing to just ramp your truck forward over the parking spot block instead of backing out

you're not really swinging your dick unless you've eschewed the concept of the parking space completely and just start pulling over the barrier onto the sidewalk/grass.

As for carry while Ubering, my firearm comes out of my pocket while in the holster and goes in the side pocket of my door because I'm left handed. It's invisible there to pax. Many right handed people carry store their firearm between the driver's seat and center console or under the driver's seat. There are slim gun safes designed for vehicles for this purpose. In your vehicle, the firearm needs to be quickly accessible. That usually means not carrying on your waist, especially during colder weather when it could be covered by a shirt, a coat and a seat belt.

I started carrying a knife after some drunk douchebag tried to start some poo poo once motioning like he had something in his pocket for me.

I started loving with him taking a wrong turn here and there. Dude started acting all scary like I was taking him somewhere to kick his rear end. Made me drop him off like 2 blocks from his destination like he didn't want me to see where he lives lol.

Anyway I'll probably be the next uber driver on the news next time I have to deal with one of these fuckboys.

To protect yourself and your passengers and have you ever used it.

I carry a led flashlight tazer, it's small, fits in the palm of your hand and a butterfly knife. I pulled it once when some guy jumped in my car and I had passengers. I discharged it and told him he had 3 seconds to get out of the car otherwise I would fry him. He looked at me like I was crazy. Yeah, he jumped into my car and I am the crazy one. Told him i wouldn't let off the trigger until the battery was fully discharged into his body. He decided to get out of the car.
