It should just be "miles around my home address" when you start driving from home.

I force myself to get inside my car and start my app. There are no people who want a ride next to my house right now. I may be waiting for some time before I get a request that takes me to San Jose or another populated center. Or at least n

I'm not really going to keep driving until they do that. I drive during football games in Santa Clara, though, since the rates are much higher.

It's because I can drive for like an hour at 9 PM when the traffic isn't bad anymore and I can make $10 an hour and I can decide when to clock out.

I drive Uber from time to time. I've only gotten a tip once over ~50 rides. A lot of the time the traffic conditions mean that after costs (I assume $0.40 per mile costs for mileage, gas, maintenance, etc.) my hourly is closer to $8 an

It should be obvious if the light doesn't have ANY yellow or green bulb that they shouldn't be changed.

If they're empty to begin with, new ones shouldn't be put in. How hard is that?

I object for having to pay for the green and yellow light bulbs. They should be empty on purpose.

Most passwords don't have capital letters unless forced by stupid password rules. This only makes it so accidental capital letters don't prevent you from logging in.
