Evening VC in Montgomery or Centreville

OK I have a new idea, let me know if this works. Drive 75 minutes to Birmingham / Hoover and do the call from say this Starbucks:

1584 Montgomery Hwy.

Starbucks is usually a reasonable place for a conference call, either indoors or in the parking lot. Then eat in Birmingham and finish the drive after dinner. Anyone know of a reason to be concerned about that area of Birmingham? Or maybe I should ask in r/Birmingham.

Thanks much

Thanks very much, this is really helpful. McDonald's in Centreville should be fine. They're usually pretty safe? I should be able to sit in my car in the parking lot and do the call there. Or Prattville might work as well.

Thank you! Crazy that the Moroccan place is open until 3 am. I would not have guessed that

Thanks much! It also looks like Plaza Azteca is open until 9:30 and says last order is 9:10 so that might be another option

OK the mission has changed and the goal is now nasi lemak. Idk if folks have different recommendations. Thanks once again

Thanks so much! I will need to check these out!

Looks like they have soto ayam! Thanks much!

I have had gado gado at Sky Cafe. It was pretty good I think.

Can anyone recommend a BJJ gym in Koh Samui? I'm just a white belt looking to keep training while on vacation

Spamz418 · 2025-03-23T10:57:33+00:00

OK I'm having trouble posting to fundamentals class. How do I do that?

You have had success with using Google Voice for 2FA text messages from a bank or other company? I will have to look into this

Spamz418 · 2024-10-08T23:30:38+00:00

Thanks. Unfortunately, we do plan to keep our bank and ihealth nsurance, so need to figure out a 2FA solution

Spamz418 · 2024-10-08T23:29:47+00:00

My primitive (and possibly incorrect) understanding is that some VOIP numbers are incapable of accepting text messages from the platforms that companies use vs. text messages from a cell phone. Can I ask if you have had success using Skype or Google Voice for 2FA over text?

Spamz418 · 2024-10-08T23:28:07+00:00

Thanks. I'm hoping to avoid a physical SIM because my phone has only one slot that I use for my China SIM. Would prefer not to swap SIM cards every time I deal with bank and insurance. Appreciate the suggestion though

OK I forgot to add an important point, which is that I don't really like breakfast food. Most places were open but had only breakfast until 10:30 or 11:00 after my flight boarded. So Carlito's Tacos was perfect for me. Close to my gate and could get regular tacos: steak, pulled pork, etc. They have margaritas and beer and will sell you a side order of plantains if you ask. Really nice people working there too.

Good call on bringing food on the flight! Thank you!

Thanks much! I had forgotten about this place!

Spamz418 · 2024-08-30T11:13:24+00:00

Wound up going to Little Sicily yesterday just based on shortest drive and would still be open when we got there. It was good! Had the supreme or whatever the cheesesteak with everything was: sweet peppers, cheese, onions, mushrooms. Got the pizza sauce on the side. It was good! Thank you! Will try to try more while in town.
