I unfortunately drove Uber for a bit back in the late 2010s until I got tired of being sexually harassed. Drivers do get paid the cleaning fee, but the rideshare services were becoming increasingly stringent about their requirements for paying it. The issue was threefold.

People would soil vehicles then dispute the cleaning charges with their credit card, so Uber would be out whatever was paid to the driver. Last I knew, this was a maximum of $225, but capped at $80 if the driver did the cleaning. Good luck finding a professional cleaner that charges less than $225 for cleaning seats smeared with vomit or feces.

Next, drivers would fake vomit or feces and file a report, causing their prior passengers to be charged a cleaning fee.

Ultimately, the ride share services tightened up their methods for both charging and refunding these fees to the detriment of both drivers and riders because they're soulless, capitalist pig fuckers that only care about profit.

I hate to agree with you, but I do on one point: the $500 million charity estimate is sourced from a Facebook post. Their source could be their own arse for all we know.

Did Dolly Parton help fund charities and make sizable financial donations? Unquestionably. Did she donate $500M or more over her lifetime? Unknown as I can't find any legitimate sources that quantify her total charitable expenditures.

I can smell your comment. Well done.

Maybe he has that mutation like some whippets.

I can scarcely tell the difference between 2160p and 1440p, and 1440p and 1080p unless I'm actively looking, though I am in my fifth decade so my eyes aren't what they used to be. I've found lower resolution with better settings to generally be better than the converse.

I've been using a 3080 for years and plan to keep using it until it goes to meet my Voodoo 5 in the great recycling bin in the sky. I'm lucky enough to have a second x16 slot so I picked up a 100€ used GPU for LSFG. Instant doubled frame rate, so now I'm good through 2035.

“Elementary-aged children are now asking questions about sex, gender identity and pronouns and gender presentation,” said Aaron Driver, a Middle Creek parent. “That creates an educational issue, therefore a parental rights issue.”

Anyone who sees this as a problem is unqualified to raise a child.

SERIOUSLY. DON'T BE CHEAP. IT'S EMBARRASSING.

They're right, but they're wrong about why they're right.

Welcome to Much More Than You Wanted to Know Monday!

This is a copy of a Greek statue depicting two wrestlers. Greeks wrestled in the nude, save for a band some used to tie their foreskin closed, their bodies covered in a mixture of olive oil and sand. After competition, they scraped off the mixture of oil and sweat, known as gloios, with a tool called a strigil. Gloios was sometimes bottled and sold as medicine to reduce pain. Yes, people consumed this sweaty man oil.

Serious Rafe15 vibes here.

No, they're suggesting that selling a three pronged extension with disconnected ground is illegal. It is illegal and with good reason. A grounded device with a faulty ground can kill someone.

I'm low-key certain he's a foreign agent intended to sabotage the US.
