  1. Anyone have experience as a driver with either Uber or Lyft? What's it like? How reliable is the income?

      I seen a break down of it on youtube. Like people showing how much pickups they have to do to make X amount of money. Seems like it depends on ur area how profitable it could be. One guy was doing good enough to even rent cars weekly to do pickups with. Wouldnt want all those miles on my own car. 

      I think the coolest part about it is u can clock in and clock out whenever u feel like it, if u want to make more just stay a available for rides.

      Its very location dependent as said. I thought about doing it as well, but I guess uber drivers dont get paid like its said to be, and a lot has changed recently with it. Like now the tip is not included and a lot of people dont tip. Just watched something recently on it.

      I think the pay is only $0.90 per mile or there abouts for both companies, the time you make the big money is during a surge when its busy and then it maybe like a 2x or even 5x price increase or even more possibly, so this would be key in larger cities at bar close.

  2. On both chrome and mobile, when using the SMD red theme, the layout of the site is all wonky. Where items should be side by side, they are laid out top to bottom. For example, the chat is in a big window at the bottom of the page. And I couldn't find the status update area. Other themes seem to display fine, however.
  3. Is it a common thing on sundown subs for the tinsels to fatigue and break right at the triple joint? Third one I've seen snap

      I had a pair of Crunch Fatboys in early 2k's have the tinsel leads come apart some how, so it happens but it's rare.

  4. Our bodies are all chemical processes. Our consciousness is a result of said processes. We can convince ourselves we have free will, however everything we do is a result of chemical interactions. Free will is an illusion - your life is set in stone.

      i think my chemicals are off balance a good bit

  5. How do we know anything is real? Can you prove it with 100% certainty?

      If your perception of reality is all you have, and if everyone's perception is different, then 'proof' is subjective anyways.

  7. Why do cams cause an idle lope? Is it a form of misfire due to overlap?

    1. bmwking

      This is usually a result of a longer exhaust duration. To get more in-depth, valve overlap causes misfires at idle and that makes the lope or choppy idle. It causes a lot of intake reversion which causes the engine to basically choke on it's own exhaust during idle.

      Does it even matter, nothing sounds better than a nasty lope at a low rpm with a good exhaust. take that back a supercharged car with a nasty lope sounds better. Hearing that rumble from the exhaust only for it to let up and hear that charger whine!

  8. I'm so done with these elf on the shelf parody things

      What if they put the shelf on top of the elf?

      Who would ever know?

  9. I just can't get over the fact they used your Chevy to film a Toyota commercial. Always gives me a giggle. Out of curiosity, what were you playing? Sine wave? Music?
  10. That commercial is goofy

  11. Wish I had the resources to design/mfr stuff. Bet I could design a CPU air cooler to beat everything else on the market, especially given how hot the new higher end stuff runs

  12. Why do computers still come with USB2.0 ports? Usb3.0 is backwards compatible, no?

      Mostly what DLH said, not to mention not all devices will function in post/bios with usb 3.0 either

  13. Anyone know how to stop wasps from nesting up in my car door twice a week?

      Used to use WD40 on bee nest when i installed cable to kill em, but i'm not sure if it is enough to keep them out for good. Would use the same on wasps when i came across them on occasion.

      Had the same issue with my house.  Off the shelf spray would kill them but they'd come back because of some hormones or some shit.  Had to have an insect company come out and spray some special stuff to clear the hormones.....worked!

      burn the car? 

  14. PSA clean your heatsinks. I didn't think mine were bad(famous last words)

    I almost feel the need to apologize to my hardware. 15 degree temp drop on CPU and 13 on GPU. Time to up the clocks

  15. Any less acidic options than energy drinks for someone who doesn't drink coffee?

      I would really look into an espresso setup since you said it's the stuff. It's really liquid better than sex. I've only had mid-tier beans out of an entry level setup($100 grinder, $150 machine) and it's unbelievably tasty, I can't imagine what these people throwing $500 at a grinder and $1500 on a machine taste. 

      I don't know your financial situation, but if you're looking for a long-term solution for good tasting caffeine, I feel like putting $400 towards espresso would be a great investment. Do it through Amazon - if you don't like it, no bullshit return process. I currently have a $200 grinder, saving for a good machine. I make aeropress in the meantime.

      Apparently I cant edit comments, ***taste***

      Now sure how taste became stuff. I'm tired.
