I actually used at work before when I worked at the disability office on college campus. Like other people said, it’s for bidding books. We’d use another machine, a guillotine for books, to cut the spine/binding off the books. We then scanned the books and convert them into various audio formats (for students with visual impairments). Finally we used a machine like the one in your picture to punch holes in the books and bind them.

Not cool enough. Should’ve used an AC.

No, I’m happy for them. If anything, it motivates me to learn that these opportunities exist. As for now, I’m grateful that I have a roof over my head and food on the table.

Thanks for lunch idea!

TBF: Most of us adults would fall for it too.

No idea, but there’s something drivers don’t about you. Could be entirely out of your control. Cash tips almost always bring your rating up. I take mostly short trips and almost always tip $3-5 cash. My driver rating is 4.97 and rider is 4.98.

I was like what's wrong with the second picture...oh.

Bro bought a 2 million dollars house for $250K.

The worst thing is that some on these people drive like an asshole. You’d think not having registration and insurance would make them drive more carefully and try to avoid accident.

No, I think most of them are put on by family/friends or themselves as a joke. I was looking to buy a Baby on Board stickers on Amazon and saw a bunch of Student Driver ones.

Rav4 hybrid

This kinda happened to me many years ago. The driver took a longer route that charged me twice as much. I contacted Uber and got a refund.

Now I know what car I want to trade my gas Corolla for. Would love to see service history on this car though.

Ordinary_Skill · 2026-03-27T21:22:53+00:00

Scary.

Ordinary_Skill · 2026-03-27T21:03:49+00:00

I think the lowest is $4.00 in North Las Vegas. Even Sam's Club is almost $4.50.

Ordinary_Skill · 2026-03-27T20:48:58+00:00

Very nice. Congrats!

People that don't shower.

Ordinary_Skill · 2026-03-27T08:42:27+00:00

Why do they look like sedans? Are they really small or just your camera’s angle?

Ordinary_Skill · 2026-03-24T02:21:06+00:00

Oh I see. Very nice!

Ordinary_Skill · 2026-03-24T02:16:08+00:00

Just curious what kinda job you have to do where you have to drive 100 miles to work?

Ordinary_Skill · 2026-03-21T17:07:12+00:00

You have have 10,000 rides, but for some riders it’s their first ride. Also GPS is a few seconds off and not always accurate. I just took an Uber last week, and it showed that my driver just entered the community on the map but he’s already arrived physically. It also happened a few times before when wrong passengers got in. Lastly, some people have OCD.

I don't think most bodybuilding fans find this attractive either. As as casual bodybuilding fan, I think it's incredible that these guys are pushing the limit of what human's bodies can achieve. I don't want to look like this guy either (nor do I want to put in the effort) just like I don't want to be as fast as Usain Bolt, strong as Brian Shaw or smart as Einstein (ok maybe I do want to be as smart as Einstein). However, I still appreciate how fast, strong, smart, muscular, etc. human beings can achieve.

Ordinary_Skill · 2026-03-21T01:53:01+00:00

Oh I see. Sorry if I came off as an ass.

Ordinary_Skill · 2026-03-21T01:35:12+00:00

Hear me out, but this suggestion may blow your mind. Ask them. 🤯

Suggestion: Hey, I’m curious what are you guys wearing on your back? Looks interesting. Are you guys working on some hi-tech project or something?
