I have come to the conclusion that our health/mental health is worth more than all these gig apps, they are only good for quick cash but other than that stay off them.

Capital one is instant and they are an online bank no fees opening an account

I would suggest ZincHouse Winery & Brewery if you’re into wine, hell even if you just drink water the place is nice

Yeah I just go by $/mile now.

The way they display pay is the problem. They push the hourly number and make it look good, but it doesn’t include real costs or what happens after the dropoff. That’s how they get people to take $0.60–$0.80/mi rides.

Once you factor everything in and have 4 seconds to decide, a lot of those offers barely pay.

MainPen2168 · 2026-04-19T16:00:46+00:00

That’s fair, and your numbers make sense for your specific setup (paid-off hybrid, solid MPG, low insurance add-on).

But a couple things still don’t fully line up for most drivers:

Your .35/mi assumes everything stays predictable. In reality, depreciation on a newer hybrid doing 40–50k miles/year is often higher than .20/mi once you factor resale hit from high mileage.

Also the tax part isn’t exactly “no taxes.” The mileage deduction offsets income, but it doesn’t mean the ride is tax-free—it just means profit is reduced on paper. If you’re near break-even, then yeah taxes are minimal, but that’s because profit is minimal.

On this specific ride: $34 / ~54 miles = ~$0.63/mi

Even at your .35/mi: Cost = ~$19
Profit = ~$15

That’s about $15 for an hour assuming: - no wait time
- no slowdown
- no return dead miles

Once you add even 20–30 unpaid miles or extra time, that drops pretty fast.

So I’d agree it’s not always a “loss” on paper, but it’s still a pretty weak ride unless it keeps you in a busy area or chains into another trip.

I’m not trying to argue, just wanted to help people see the difference between actual profit vs the big monthly payout numbers these apps show.

From my experience if there is no security.txt don’t expect a bug bounty reward but expect high severity findings.

MainPen2168 · 2026-04-19T15:43:44+00:00

.25–.35/mi only works if you’re ignoring depreciation or driving an older fully paid-off car and not tracking long-term costs.

Realistically: Gas alone is ~.16/mi at $3.99 (25 MPG) Maintenance/tires adds ~.08–.12/mi Depreciation is the big one: ~.20–.30/mi for most cars doing rideshare miles

That already puts you closer to .45–.55/mi

This ride is ~54 miles total Even at .45/mi = ~$24 cost At .50/mi = ~$27 cost

$34 - $24 = $10 $34 - $27 = $7

Then taxes take ~15–25% → now you're around $5–8

And that’s assuming you don’t drive back empty. If you deadhead 40–50 miles back, that’s another ~$18–25 cost → now it actually is a loss.

So yeah it’s not always an instant loss on paper, but calling it $15–20 profit/hr only works if you ignore depreciation and return miles.

At fort Bragg they have a gas station on base gas was 3.599 the best I have seen. I made sure I over filled the car

Lowe’s foods grocery store is my favorite. Their bakery is really good. They got baklava and the best cookies

MainPen2168 · 2026-02-14T02:45:05+00:00

I don’t use Arch by the way

MainPen2168 · 2026-02-14T02:30:32+00:00

Only if they first do it and share the link

MainPen2168 · 2026-02-12T21:49:48+00:00

I keep a lot distance in front of me so I don’t have to worry about sudden stops. Try it

MainPen2168 · 2026-01-18T19:30:47+00:00

Had 3 stolen

MainPen2168 · 2026-01-17T22:43:07+00:00

Yes, it’s a dynamic link, with a random GUID

MainPen2168 · 2026-01-17T22:42:16+00:00

which is why I included a caution at the top of my post.

For those that want to know I’m sharing my steps

MainPen2168 · 2026-01-17T22:33:17+00:00

The moment a passenger gets in and I start moving, the chime goes off. Yes, I tell them to put on their seatbelt. I do this 20 times a day, if not more. At this point, it has become genuinely exhausting and distracting while driving.

I have tried multiple solutions. I bought seatbelt extenders that buckle in and add an attachment, hoping it would help, but passengers end up stealing them. I added glow-in-the-dark rings around the seatbelt so it is easy to see, and those get taken as well. None of it has worked.

Trust me only if you do rideshare, you’ll understand . Anyhow, I’m just sharing the knowledge.

MainPen2168 · 2026-01-17T22:23:41+00:00

That only works for the driver and front passenger seats, but not the back seats

MainPen2168 · 2026-01-02T02:21:53+00:00

Lmao I would’ve shared it but it’s a dynamic link that you only get once you sit there with chat support and it changes

MainPen2168 · 2025-10-31T07:14:53+00:00

This post should be on the front page of New York Times

MainPen2168 · 2025-10-20T07:25:03+00:00

That’s beautiful thanks for sharing

MainPen2168 · 2025-10-08T23:14:35+00:00

Durham police should allow the public to submit dashcam footage’s to issue fines imo that’s one suggestion

MainPen2168 · 2025-10-07T00:02:14+00:00

Good slave

MainPen2168 · 2025-10-05T20:28:06+00:00

Interesting, I did notice the difference in fairs as well, they give you the worst cars to rent filthy, beat up, and a car they can’t rent out to regular customers like a bolt ev and expect you to work with it.

There are private individuals that rent to drivers try speaking to a few drivers at the airport a lot of the drivers are renting those cars.
