Did a ride along with an old coworker - he works for Dining In. Actually, 3 former coworkers from Papa John's work there - 2 as drivers, 1 as a dispatcher. In the 3 hours I was with him, he made more than I make in on a typical Friday. And he said it was slow for a Friday. He sent me a text when he finished.... he made over $200 today. I made $47.  Upside is it looks like I'll be working for Dining In next week, the ride along is mostly just to make sure I know what I'm getting into. One thing I really like is Dining In has humans handling dispatches, and a local presence that you can actually talk to face to face. Getting ahold of a dispatcher is as easy as firing up Voxer, instead of having to sit for 20 minutes waiting for a "chat support specialist" to respond from Doordash.I think Doordash must have hemorrhaged a bunch of drivers this week - I had taken today off to do the ride-along, but grabbed a shift after I got dropped back off at my car. I've never seen more than 1-2 available shifts on a Friday, and there's usually only an hour or two available by then. Every delivery area (10 or so?) had multiple shifts opes (and there's a shitload open for tomorrow too). I went ahead and worked 3 hours, and kept getting assigned orders that were already late (so orders had been piling up big time). They tried to give me an order that was not only already late, but was half an hour away, with the restaurant closing in 15 minutes. I contacted Doordash and said there's no way I can make it there in time to get the order, plus I'm several cities away, is there anyone closer to assign it to? I got a "Just a moment" response, then I got logged out of my shift.  wallaka posted:My fiance: "The rain looks like snow babies!" In the local facebook group for one of the companies I drive for, someone posted "hey guys it's sleeting, be careful!" the other day, during a pretty nasty thunderstorm. My answer: "That's hail." For some reason they deleted their post pretty quickly.  Wrar posted:Better off Ted is still my favorite because it's so cynical. I was surprised to see this pop up on Netflix recently - Better off Ted doesn't get nearly enough love. I had no idea what Sirens was, though it popped up in the spotlight in netflix recently. Guess I'll start watching it. Rhyno posted:It took 96 minutes on the loving line (at least 45 of which were me on hold) but the ACA help line finally admitted that I did indeed NOT falsify my earning statements! I die a little inside every time I have to call them. Also, you can withdraw the application online. It's meant more for when the system fucks up, but the option is there. Too bad it didn't exist when I made my first application, I get nonstop loving emails about the tax penalties and all these dire warnings because of that. The call center actually told me to make a new account online, which I did (before they finally added the "remove application and start over" link).. so now there's two of me in their system. I'm still fighting them over my earnings from 2015, and even 2014 (they have my 2014 tax return, all W2s, and even bank statements - they just keep "filing a request for an extension" when I call to ask why what I've sent isn't enough). Right hand, meet left hand. Left hand, meet right hand. Hey hands, you two chucklefucks need to know what each other are doing, and maybe try loving talking to each other instead of engaging in a slap fight every time someone asks you something. Rhyno posted:Yes I did get a raw deal and no, it shouldn't be. But after a long talk with my family and girlfriend I decided I need to have it sorted. Heading towards 40 there's a lot of poo poo I have not taken care of and I need to find a GP in the near future. If anything just for peace of mind. Your doctor will want some of your blood on your first visit. Trust me. ... then you'll either be thinking "oh there's nothing wrong", and learn there's many things wrong. Or you'll be sweating your balls off wondering what's wrong, and everything is fine. I was the former.

You have probably never heard of this site. You will probably spend too much time on this site. What is it? A comprehensive catalog of every automobile since 1945 (Work in progress, they say they're up to "N", but it's pretty complete all the way). It's a bit clunky in design, but flippin' fantastic in its information. http://www.automobile-catalog.com/ You're welcome. Who loves meatpimp? (chorus) Everybody loves meatpimp. Edit: I've been trying to stump it, but even with extremely esoteric cars, it's on point. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 12:56 on Jan 23, 2016 |

Enourmo posted:"Hey dad I'm feeling pretty sick I might skip the monster truck show tonight" Don't be a pussy, a good pull to redline on a monster truck is exactly what you need to get better. If you can, see if you can stand as close to the trucks as possible; the exhaust pulses and general vibration have been proven to reverse many signs of aging as well as disintegrate kidney stones.

In fact, as you can clearly see in this chart: The introduction of commercial monster trucks reversed a decline in American life expectancy from 1975-1978.

If I had made that chart entirely from scratch it wouldn't have typos and the curve would be a lot cartoonier and probably have a little Photoshopped monster truck jumping off cars in the corner. I feel like I already went too far for the underlying quality of the joke.

There's a few car buying threads on BFC, or you might want to take the Stupid Questions thread for a spin. Even if your question isn't stupid (most people's questions aren't). Chances are your car is worth fixing, unless you've really let it slide.

Oh my god I'm so very bored at work. 5 hours in and I've taken 2 deliveries. I guess the snow scare drove everyone to the grocery store and now they have to eat their eggs/milk/bread (all you need to survive any snow storm) before they go bad. On the bright side, I've discovered that the cold causes my cars powered antenna to have difficulty extending. So my car and I have something else in common.

Unless the body is rotting off, the engine is severely smoking or the transmission needs replaced, a mid 90s toyota is always worth repairing.

Shout out to all those inattentive drivers who have a miniscule understanding of the effects of ice on stopping distances. Got rear ended at a light, barely any damage to the car bit my neck is stiff and it'll probably be worst tomorrow, at least I got a witness so dealing with insurance shouldn't be too bad.

gently caress, dirt track had a race tonight. Oh well, next one is on the 6th  Then April 2nd is the night of destruction. "Demo Cross, Figure 8s, Figure 8 Trailer Racing, Figure 8 Chain Racing and Spectator Racing" Demo cross: The race is 20 Laps on the quarter-mile track. There will be obstacles on the track such as heavy equipment tires, boats, jet skis, plastic drums full of water and cars. The race surface will be watered down to minimize the speed of the vehicles. This is not your typical race, this is Demo Cross where Driver's may spin, rub and hit other cars on the track. All vehicles must run counter clockwise on the race track. At no time are you allowed to run the opposite direction. There are no caution flags during the race. Only a red flag can be thrown to stop the race if a Driver appears to be hurt or is in a location that warrants a red flag.

We are to busy with guns, trump, and other bullshit to worry about the whole "quality of life" thing. People in America want something for nothing, and think that the government just takes their rights blah blah blah, but casually forget about roads, schools, water, etc. I mean, America isn't a bad place to live, but there's plenty of other places in the world I'd rather live.

Interesting, you should email them. I've checked everything from '60s Buicks to mid'80s Chevys and Pontiacs to Biturbos to Chevy trucks, so far it's been spot on with the numbers. The only thing I've seen missing is that they completely deny the existence of GMC Envoys. I'm not sure that's a bad thing.
