8/8/2016 3:56:10 AM

Manic. Disagree with me if you want, but you are manic.

kayak girl going to be jelly

8/8/2016 9:08:49 AM

lol, there is a lady here at the office who drives her Tesla for Uber

8/8/2016 10:46:25 AM

i can't imagine there's that many people in Raleigh driving Teslas for Uber at this point.

8/8/2016 11:01:37 AM

I can. Pretty easy to see how people who buy expensive cars that they can't afford would resort to Uber driving to pay they car note.

8/8/2016 11:41:56 AM

Her name was Beth I believe.

Kayak girl knows I hang out with 21yo. Lol. The three of us hung out together the other night on the roof.

8/8/2016 11:58:40 AM

How much medicine are you on now?

8/8/2016 12:04:17 PM

^^

8/8/2016 12:06:14 PM

No medication. Dr said I didn't need any anymore. Why?

8/8/2016 12:16:06 PM

these threads aren't funny because I know what happens when it swings the other way

I'm not sure Uber can be of much help when your car payment is $1500, but the larger issue is the stupidity of driving a car that expensive as a taxi. But a used Prius for <$10k and knock yourself out.

8/8/2016 12:43:49 PM

the problem with stupid people is that they don't realize they're stupid. that's what makes them stupid.

8/8/2016 12:48:29 PM

why do you have to keep specifying that she's 21 tho

can't we call her Sheila or something

as someone who has experienced full-blown mania, I'm thinking that this isn't mania, but more of a midlife crisis kind of situation

8/8/2016 2:46:21 PM

I guess possibly a bout of hypomania accompanying a midlife crisis

8/8/2016 2:46:53 PM

ARE YOU A DOCTOR MOTHERFUCKER

8/8/2016 2:52:13 PM

How does your family feel about the way you are acting out?

8/8/2016 2:52:19 PM

are you?

8/8/2016 2:52:27 PM

I mean you might be a PhD or somethin' but I know you aren't a MD

biiiiitch

you've never experienced mania

what do you know about funny

do you even lift

8/8/2016 2:52:59 PM

also I don't think doctors diagnose mid-life crises

so I'm gonna go with no

even though your question (w/o a question mark) was clearly sardonically hypothetical

8/8/2016 2:56:03 PM

Pokeyak girl: got topless in front of you

21 yo girl: got naked in front of you

YOU HAVE SUCH BEASTLY MAGNETIC EFFECT ON CHICKS!!!!

Uber girl: ???

8/8/2016 4:40:34 PM

get it right man. it's poke-kayak.

8/8/2016 4:41:59 PM

We hung out yesterday... both kayak and 21yo.

indeed kayak tried to get 21yo to lay off due to jelly.

I got picked up in a tesla a couple years ago after ordering an UberX. The guy explained he was a driver for a new startup called Drivr, which was basically a green version of Uber. The Teslas were all part of the company's fleet, not driver-owned. He said they were piggybacking off Uber to gain traction in the market. Not sure if it ever took off, but I haven't heard about it since then.

8/9/2016 6:38:19 PM

No, this was scotieb24's co-worker who was Smath's uber driver.

[Edited on August 9, 2016 at 7:09 PM. Reason : So basically everything smath says is true ]

8/9/2016 7:07:45 PM

^^^

you got to get ubrgrl in the picture... not cool she is being left out.

so which of the 3 are you taking indecent liberties with?

8/9/2016 9:30:49 PM

Fun exercise: rank these events by how much they actually happened.

1) Smath was at a 21 year old's apartment
2) The uber was a Tesla
3) He asked her to grab a beer
4) She accepted

My guess is none of this happened at all.

8/9/2016 9:48:31 PM

Well 2) almost certainly happened.

8/9/2016 10:08:52 PM

There's no almost certainly. It's confirmed.

8/9/2016 10:28:40 PM

I mean there's a slight chance that he made up the same name as the woman who actually drives a tesla for uber.

8/9/2016 11:32:43 PM

And also made up the ridiculous idea that some idiot would drive a Tesla for Uber.

Yes. Also he photoshopped the hippie pics.

8/9/2016 11:50:53 PM

^^ That's true only if the events are independent, otherwise here is the general formula:

P(XandY)=P(X|Y)·P(Y)

or equally

P(XandY)=P(Y|X)·P(X)

"So sure, the car cost about $70,000. And it had to have its drive unit replaced a few times. But between that anticipated decrease in maintenance cost compared to a conventional gas car, and the fact that Christian has only spent about $3,700 over 2.5 years in electricity (versus about $5,000 a year in gas charges, according to Electrek) to charge his car from his home over 100,000 miles, "

so he paid $50k more to save $9k. brilliant!

Did I miss the part of the article where he said why he got the Tesla?

8/16/2016 4:58:22 PM

^youre right, what a shitty article
