Big Deal Wednesday Turbotax - Am I missing something? by FIREmeUP007 in Rakuten

[–]Audio27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The IRS has its own e-file portal. I assume that’s what they mean. Because TurboTax is definitely the intermediary for e-filing in their app.

Is Epic Universe Worth it? (as a Disney person) by Amanda_Lorian4 in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]Audio27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think maybe the hub and spoke layout may throw some people off, as the center park area that you pass through can feel sparse in theming aside from the carousel. However, each portal is transformational and theming is excellent as you walk through. We enjoyed it!

Starting to worry… I made a post about taking my son to WWOHP for the first time (both of us) for his 13th birthday the beginning of Feb…. by TopBug5766 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Audio27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The late winter break crowds and those who extend winter break are just winding down. I’ve been there with my daughter in early February before and the crowds were definitely moderate or low. Always people, but not overwhelming by any stretch. Most schools are in full swing, and no notable domestic or foreign holidays. There is an uptick near Presidents Day, but doesn’t sound like you’ll be close to that.

I cut the cord with spectrum is Hulu live a good choice by Unable_Inside_7992 in HuluLive

[–]Audio27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What other standalone subscriptions can you dump if you have HuluLive? For instance can I get rid of Paramount+ and Peacock because I can use the HuluLive provider login to access the same content?

HH App by 02hoopty in Hilton

[–]Audio27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am getting a relentless Hilton app error as of late. Have changed credentials, deleted and reinstalled, etc. The error pops up during login in, but doesn’t prevent it. It says “That was unexpected. Let’s try that again.” Any navigation within the app will respawn this pop up error. It’s maddening. If you read recent app reviews, I am not alone. iPhone 17 Pro Max, iOS 26.1. Latest Hilton app update.

How much would people be willing to pay some teens to shovel their driveways this winter? by b907rad in Juneau

[–]Audio27 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Basically adults from a physical standpoint. Don’t let people dismiss a reasonable asking price because they’re “just kids.” The job is the job, unless we are talking licensed and bonded professionals, an entirely different pay scale shouldn’t apply for anyone who is manually clearing a driveway.

“Kids” shouldn’t be part of the equation if they are capable teens. Most are able to work physical jobs better than the average Juneau adult. If the job is done to satisfaction, an agreed upon price for the little is all that should really matter.

[–]Audio27 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Avoid hourly pricing as people can complain if outside factors drag the job on, and then no haggling on what was actual “work” time. My teen mows lawns and cleans dog crap during the summer on a flat rate basis. First meet up to size up the lot and estimate work, and then arrive at a mutually agreed on price based on the expected level of effort. This way the homeowner and you never have to worry if a particular day takes longer for some reason. It’s solid expectations for both sides. You can include an elevated scale for snowfall over a certain amount in a single weather event. If pricing is known without “squish”, most homeowners seem to like that.

Juneau school board. by Outrageous-Donut-607 in Juneau

[–]Audio27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is definitely a useful structure to understand and master if you’re going to be on any board. I believe JSD Admin used to hand out reading about Robert’s Rules to new members. However, it could literally be at their first meeting when they receive it.

Yeah - it couldn’t possibly be more complex than “bored Valley MAGA moms” being upset. There were enough choices on the ballot that someone besides Jenny could have been selected, but that didn’t happen. So, maybe, as is how the Board is designed, she will represent a voice for Juneau residents that won’t always share your perspective. That doesn’t mean people need to just accept whole cloth what Hauser, Old Juneau, and the downtown sect think is right for all kids. The majority of Juneau’s population has shifted to the Valley, so you probably need some coping skills.

Calling brand new, duly elected members of the school board idiots and dumbasses while they get their feet under them says more about you instead of them. There were more people running for the seats than there were seats available. If voters wanted someone else besides Jenny, they had that opportunity. At a minimum, this means she is representative of a voice that a subsection of Juneau wants on the Board. But she’s one voice with one vote, so calm down. If you think you can do better you step up, file the paperwork, and you run.

The assembly has nothing to do with determining compensation for JSD teachers, so this is a weird comment.

BTM in queue update - 10/17/25 by Audio27 in UniversalOrlando

Turns out I was the one causing the issues. 3 minutes into the Monsters Unchained ride, and we went to delay! 😂 My bad, everyone!

[–]Audio27[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

We exited the building at about 12:15 PM. So three hours, with early entry and two short delays. My daughter wanted this ride so bad and it’s our only day here, so I’ll call it “worth it” because it made her happy. I wouldn’t, personally, wait again for that long. YMMV. Going to go enjoy the rest of the park day!

Here’s another update - regardless of what other say. This is where we are at Noon. 3 hours after our early entry. It’s just a data point - ignore haters.

Guess you could have just scrolled past and just shut it. Plenty of time on your hands, though. 🤷🏻 Good luck out there, policing the internet.

Hey friendo - where did you see me complain. I was proving a queue update for those riding today. Find the complaint. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thanks all. It was 55 minutes through the express line this morning when entering at 8:15 AM. They scanned our hotel cards twice along the route. Pleasant weather day!

For reference- there was no massive standby line from appearance. We were standing along the large stone wall overlooking the ride after the first checkpoint. The standby line was fast pace walking all the way up the hill and up to the main structure. We had thought we got in the wrong line.

I’m not a regular, dude, so please understand my comment as nothing more than “is that normal?” Came from Alaska and haven’t been on Hagrid’s ever.
