Uber Crash Reality

Uber Crash Reality (Read This Before Your Next Shift)

My friend was online with Uber when a driver clipped the rear-left corner of his one-year-old Tesla. The finish was scuffed, no visible dent. Small hit—big lesson.

What most drivers don’t realize

  • While you’re on trip, passengers have up to $1,000,000 in medical coverage.

  • You (the driver) use your own PIP first, then you chase the at-fault driver’s BI for medical bills.

  • Uber’s policy won’t typically pay your medicals. For your car, you can use Uber’s contingent coverage—$2,500 deductible—to repair damage.

  • Even a “few hundred dollars” in cosmetic damage can easily price out near $1,000 when done right.

The hidden cost nobody budgets for
More time on the road = higher crash odds. If your car goes to the shop, that’s downtime—no rides, no income. I once sat a full month without pay after a stop-sign hit and the other driver never reimbursed my deductible.

Do this now

  1. Confirm your coverage: PIP, rideshare endorsement, and UM/UIM.

  2. Plan for the deductible: keep an emergency fund or a credit line ready.

  3. Document everything: photos, police report, app status screenshots.

  4. Estimate the ROI: minor scuffs? Sometimes waiting beats losing weeks of income.

👉 Protect your paycheck before the crash happens. Save this, share it with another driver, and check your policy today.

Quick facts about A.I.

A.I. Server

Know this about A.I.

 

A.I is extremely fast   in every way you can possibly imagine. Snapping your fingers is actually pretty slow, but A.I. data throughput can travel back and forth from Florida to California several times during a single finger snap.

 

A.I. is  extremely power hungry.   The average  A.I. data center pulls about 50 percent of the energy/electricity that a bitcoin mining farm pulls which is a lot of juice! An entire A.I. data center pulls about the equivalent of the power to  70 average homes.

 

A.I is very hot.   Each server contains a lot of very heavy duty hardware and that hardware is hot! A lot of that electricity is pulled by the massive A.C. Units that are dedicated just to cooling the A.I. servers. The various components inside an A.I. server is hot enough to fry an egg. The temperatures outside each A.I. Server rack are kept down around 85 – 115 degrees Fahrenheit, which is still crazy hot with all that cooling. Data centers are usually kept at about 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

 

Chatgpt alone   is around 8500 various servers and systems that resemble the attachment. There are usually about 500 or 600 hundred servers and systems in a non A.I. data center and that is a lot of units to support.

 

The data centers alone.  are like 4 and 5 times the size of regular data centers . Each server  requires a lot of space. Space in a data center is hard to come by after the initial build out unless room for expansion is planned for.

 

When a person sends a single message to chatgpt that message is handled by one instance and then the very next messages it doesn’t matter how fast that message is sent, that 2nd message goes to an entirely different bot.

 

The actual core chatgpt servers are located physically in Texas USA, but they connect to cloud servers and then those servers connect to other servers in many states across the U.S. this all can happen about 3 times during the blink of an eye. Open A.I. is building out data centers around the globe just to keep up with such heavy demand, that is huge growth!

 

A.I. is eventually, probably going to be the end of humanity as we know it.

As Mo Gawdat said “We fucked up” Mo is a highly intelligent Egyptian public speaker. Among many other things.

 

A.I. is here to stay though, the choice has already been made for us, so we need to embrace it. It is extremely lucrative, therefore it is very popular,  it also saves humanity a lot of time, and that is just 1 reason why humanity loves it.

 

I learn from it each day. I LOVE A.I. like the rest of humanity does.



I used A.I. to help me with a lot of things on this page.

My Takeaway as a Creator

 

Today was a reminder of something every independent creator needs to face head-on:

 

> **No one will ever care about your project as much as you do.**

 

Not a company.

Not a platform.

Not a service.

Not even the smartest AI in the world.

 

I went into this thinking I’d get a clean, proofread version of my rideshare eBook in about an hour — maybe two, tops. I ended up spending nearly **twelve hours** waiting, troubleshooting, questioning, refreshing links, and asking over and over again, “Where is my clean PDF?”

 

What I got back were broken promises and half-finished files.

Files that were missing chapters.

Files with blank pages.

Files that erased all the original layout, images, and effort I put into creating this book in the first place.

 

And the worst part? Every one of those files was labeled “final.”

 

As a creator — especially one who built this eBook from scratch based on my real-world experience — I realized that relying on automation alone is not just risky… it’s disrespectful to my own work.

 

When you make something, whether it’s a blog, a book, a course, or even a tweet — you’re putting your **time**, your **story**, and your **voice** into that thing.

 

And when it comes time to polish it, share it, or sell it, you want to believe the tools you use will treat your work with the same respect you do.

 

But they don’t.

 

They automate.

They guess.

They “approximate.”

 

But they don’t *care* the way a human creator does.

They don’t sweat the details.

They don’t get frustrated when the layout breaks.

They don’t feel embarrassed when the link doesn

 

AI PROMPTS BE SPECIFIC

By Uncategorized

A lot of people go to Midjourney and other AI websites

to have pictures created. When I need a graphic created. I go to

Microsoft and use their Copilot for creating pictures. Any type of picture that

I can dream up, I use Copilot and make sure that I also include the resolution

that I want the output created in. for example, if I want the output created for a TikTok

video, I will enter 1080 x 1920 in with my prompt. If I want that image to be used in a YouTube long-format video, then I will enter 1920 x 1080 into that prompt. If I want the picture

created for use in an Instagram video, then I will add 1080 x 1080 into that prompt.

Make certain you add in exactly what it is that you want in your prompt. These are machines and will only perform exactly what you instruct them to do, so be specific.

Prius oil change and Hurricane Milton Recovery

I just uploaded a video to YouTube

containing the Oil Change I did right before 

Hurricane Milton made landfall in Tampa Bay.

recently. Also, Some of the destruction from that storm.Why owning a Prius through that storm 

was so awesome, and the ongoing recovery process. It can be viewed here. It is over 2 hours long.I am also going to upload it tomorrow to my

other Tiny YouTube channel called Minimize Me.

Second day without power from Hurricane Milton

By Uncategorized

Today is the second day without power in Tampa Bay from Hurricane Milton. I have been watching the Florida Outage map and I calculated these power companies to be restoring power at a rate of 17-20000 restores per hour. That is restoring power at a pretty good clip and I am grateful. There are droves of things that are very bad, to have people working in the field, around the clock that are completely dedicated to the restoration of power for those that have none due to Hurricane Milton is so awesome! Sure, I depend on power for so much, until you have no power at all you take it for granted all the time. I try to flick a light on all the time and I am reminded that I have no power. Then there is the temperature which sux but ai think about this. Irma made landfall in early September in 2017 and September is a very hot month in Florida. Hurricane Ian struck in late September of 2022 and I noticed at night it was like 5 degrees cooler than it was with Hurricane Irma. Then Hurricane Milton made landfall on October 9th and it is like a full 10 degrees or so cooler than it was with Irma. I remember I hunkered down for Irma at my younger brothers house and the power was already out there when I arrived at 10 AM. Irma didn’t come until that night and there was no power. So I wasn’t going to die, but it was miserably hot! I rinsed off the house today and there was insulation pretty much all over it. This is what I learned from Hurricane Milton. When a big storm hits in Florida, want to be in a building that was built (or like in my case manufactured) after 2004 because the codes were upgraded that year because of Hurricane Andrew. Also, you want to spend your money on 1 time cost for things like hurricane shutters, doors, windows, fireproofing, and you do not under any circumstances want to live near a body of water. Humans are drawn to water they love to live on or near water. It is well known that living near water is very expensive, and causes some pretty big problems. I just do not know why anyone does that. I read a book once by Joel Salitan and in ot he talked about his dream home. That dream home was super awesome! He talked about it being built into a mountain because mountains help with temperature control and all kinds of practical things. His dream home became my dream home pretty quick. I really like Joel a lot. I watch him and read his stuff all the time.
