@SJCSports7 Our aviation system owes pilots like this so much better. The controller was over burdened and there are not proper protocols in place for communicating with emergency vehicles on the runways. It's a mess and this MUST be fixed immediately.

The problem with being in the past or being in the future is you will miss the present. David said, “This is the day the Lord has made.” Today is a gift from God. Are you fully engaged, making the most of each moment?

@jimfarley98 @Ford @FordAustralia Well, and I would hope that u send "secret shoppers" into your dealers too! This is needed. I think you were on to something having "corporate" dealers alongside franchised locations as well! People still don't trust dealer model in general. I realize some are quite good.
English
Wherever I travel, I like to visit @Ford dealers. No one understands the changes our industry faces more than they do. Especially happy to spend time with Keith Thornton & Caroline Gallagher at Torque Ford in Brisbane. Australia is one of the world’s most competitive pickup markets. Competition is intensifying from long-established rivals like Toyota & from Chinese brands (Torque is right next door to a BYD dealership). I got a better understanding of what dealers are hearing & what customers are expecting. My team and I left energized about what we saw on the ground. Lots of opportunity to grow our position in Australia!

@SJCSports7 I DO believe that the Sinner win @ AO is bit overstated. First, he had easiest of paths to face Sinner with essentially a bye in between. Second, Sinner was not 100% physically at AO for some reason. Third, he should have already been out the door in bad loss to Musetti.

Djokovic is in no man’s land now - he said he wants to play 2028 but he’s outside the top 40 rn and tarnishing his legacy every match he plays rn

@boston_drives @sergioaved @Uber Not to mention where are the age checks by Uber on these "young" account holders. TRUST ME : this WOULD matter in a court of law. The insurance companies would be left holding the bill.
English
Uber sends hundreds of “reminders” to drivers about Service Animals, assistive devices and wheelchairs. Never once have they reminded drivers to not drive unaccompanied minors. And if driver cancels: 1.) they don’t get paid 2.) they are dinged with Cancellation Rate hit.
Irresponsible + dangerous.
Also, this Mom doesn’t seem to realize she’s putting her child in a car with a stranger! Child endangerment?

His First Uber Alone (1 Day Before Turning 10) Which is against @uber
TOS in the US. According to the TOS that boy should have been accompanied by an adult and there's no insurance coverage! But many desperate drivers accept these trips!

@sergioaved @Uber No judge in the world would hold a driver to "no insurance" on marginal age call by a driver (not including this case) if it ever came to question. Uber's actions would preclude it and the insurance companies hand would be forced. It's called "good cause" in the legal system.

@SawyerMerritt I VERY MUCH get vibe that folks would rather have this launch in US before Cybercab. And what does the advent of self driving have to do with this not being released?! Again, folks would rather be self driven in this than Cybercab. Fine, bring 2 seater, but AFTER Y L.

@FRMillionaires I wish! Like I really do wish we could set our own multipliers like 1.1, 1.5, or 2.0, etc. And we are not treated like ICs precisely because of stuff like Advantage Mode, etc. (moving over to Gold status) where benefits are based on AR.
English
@JWB470 Welp, buckle up because that's exactly what's happening.
English
I asked before what drivers will do with the new update, and the answer is complain 🤣
I agree with Matt's criticism but what's often lacking in the rideshare space are solutions.
If you want to get your AR up, I recommend a hybrid strategy of padding your AR on slow days.
matt@boston_drives
Dear Uber: The driver who ultimately completes the ride should be credited with an AR increase. This is basic fairness. You created a rewards/penalty scheme that assigns a value to each accepted ride. It is only fair that each completed trip count as an “accept” and increase the driver’s Acceptance Rate. Not doing so places inordinate weight on “exclusive” offers, putting unfair pressure on drivers to take undesirable and/or unprofitable offers. You decide how many—and which—offers to send as Trip Radar or Exclusive, further weaponizing the dispatch process and rewards tier system. This allows you to effectively force drivers to operate as you want, rather than based solely on their business philosophy and best interest as independent contractors. Again, there is an inherent “acceptance rate” value associated with every ride, which needs to be applied to the driver who completes the ride. Pressing “match” on a Trip Radar offer shouldn’t increase AR, but matching and completing the ride should. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@TheRideshareGuy Kia Sportage Hybrids do not get 45+ MPG. In fact, the only trim above 40 (at 42 or so) is the lowest LX trim which is undesirable for rideshare lacking even blindspot monitors.

@JoelOsteen When we see these negative waves of energy come up, it's like Michael Singer says : let go now, or fall. We can't wait for it to grab us; we need to let the sensation be there but not grab it with our minds. It's a willful act to just let it pass. We must practice this.
English
Sometimes it’s the little things that are taking our joy. It’s a moment. It’s not supposed to be a lifetime. If you keep dwelling on it, you’re feeding it, and giving it momentum.

@pamelam35 Podcasts are a wonderful thing! But 2x would annoy me big time. Some folk even releasing content in 2x : yuck! But tablets, earbuds, smart phones, etc. are all GREAT if used in balance. Heck Pam, as content creator u don't want folks abandoning very medium you produce on.
English
Ditched my earbuds for a book on treadmill walks (too cold outside). No podcasts on 2x, no music. Just me flipping pages.
Three 20-minute walks a day. Already on my second book this week. Even reading on the StairMaster.
I feel less scrambled. Something about holding a real book grounds me. My brain feels quieter and my stress feels lower.
My creativity feels like it’s coming back. I’ve been writing again, actually writing - handwritten notes. I'm sleeping better and even waking up earlier without an alarm.
Slowing down is doing more for me than speeding up ever did.
English
@DanielVisions @boston_drives @DriversC2C @thechuckdriver The only real concern with these is risk of cancellation after traveling long way for the pick. The bonus won't come into play near enough on cancel fee; otherwise IMHO they are not bad. A bulk of pay is for heading to pick on your own. Not bad, but risk of cancel is concern.
English
Quit Harrassing me with Offers that are too far away! 😒😳🤮🤢
English
@JoelOsteen Or even.... don't even "deal with it" until one is feeling happy and at ease.
English
Let’s make up our minds: no more bad days. No more going to bed angry. No more letting people steal our joy, frustrated over things we can’t control. No more letting the offense linger. Deal with it quickly and move on. Trust God.

@AmyLundyDahl @GarryPa31881391 @Bla___ @DelrayBeachOpen A little surprised he did not bring up his Twitch channel. When he’s taking his Q&A, he asks people to subscribe. He’s got a lot of followers out there. He also tweets out when he starts his streams. Thanks for the context Amy!
English
@JWB470 @GarryPa31881391 @Bla___ @DelrayBeachOpen To be fair
It went like this:
He was asked about content
He says “Like what do you mean? Like a YouTube channel?”
And the person said yes
Then he gave his answer
English
Probably won’t see Fritz with a YouTube channel because he says it would be boring.
“I think you need to be someone who's very active like, doing a lot of stuff to actually make the content good. All a lot of us do is just play tennis and then, like, relax.”

@GarryPa31881391 @Bla___ @AmyLundyDahl @DelrayBeachOpen Let’s agree to disagree. 🙂 Seems far more formatted and well presented than that. Not to Morgan’s level though, agreed. Not even close.
English
@JWB470 @Bla___ @AmyLundyDahl @DelrayBeachOpen Don't agree, what he does is pretty informal. Not formatted or organised. Just video games and chat. Sometimes led by the questions he gets and requests re what games to play etc, so not overly planned. He usually decides to it last minute aswell. Which is what he is saying.
