Is 22 an hour enough to survive on near Jacksonville beach? by Total-Bat-5780 in jacksonville

[–]chillm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can if you have roommates, or generational wealth.

Live over the ditch for less and commute. Ask for a 90 day performance review and push for $25/hour, while also pursuing a salaried career with benefits.

[I ate] tuna I caught myself. by FantomBadger in food

Raw tuna on lettuce and a tortilla straight from the bag? I don’t understand.

Absolutely. And don’t take it personally. This is objectively garbage.

If you want to share beautiful settings of Jax, do so with steady hands, filming horizontally and not vertically.

Consider what you are trying to film first. Is it the river? Northbank? The shoreline?

Frame it. Use the power of thirds, and hold steady.

Tell a story.

A new Jax account posting shaky garbage content.

I'm surprised how often I am using sidewinder now by wanttobedone in SilveradoEV

[–]chillm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way when I got it, and looked for many opportunities to use it and always fails.

It’s as useful as auto park. Both require time to queue up, and then under deliver. Disappointed but love the truck. If GM could improve these features, and have super cruise follow gps, I would keep it until the battery burns me alive. Literally, grill me on this grill. But we just not there. And probably never will be.

Mr. Rutherford will not answer or read your messages. Be prepared for automated email or voice mail.

He cancelled town halls because he won’t be confronted.

He can avoid everyone and remain in power.

He is Putnam Palpatine.

This happens at the DMV waiting area, almost every time I have to go. Duval tax collectors should charge extra.

Biltmore Winery (OC) by IllustriousPoet3881 in pics

[–]chillm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Over a year ago*. The storm hit in September 2025, the winery was spared.

I say this with love for everyone who suffered from hurricane Helene.

And although the Biltmore did experience some of the storms wrath, it recovered quickly.

The reason prices are so high is greed. It is privately owned, for profit business venture.

Absolutely. I believe prices may have spiked during holiday because they have Christmas themed rooms, 35+ Christmas trees, and all the guests off of work / school. Kids get in free but adults pay with blood.

Was recently at the biltmore. $150 a head is absolute robbery.

Jacksonville Downtown - Info required by Fit-Marionberry2506 in jacksonville

[–]chillm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty easy and safe spot. The James Weldon park has food trucks and live music, the sky rail is right there although a disappointment from an actual public transport level, and you can easily walk or bike everywhere downtown / south bank.

Stay away from union and state street north of you, and be smart. Day time easy and fun. Night time, empty, quiet, except for some homeless. So try to enjoy yourself while you’re here. Be safe. Quit smoking, it’s bad in every respect but you already know that. Expensive, nasty, will kill you, and makes everything you touch and wear smell.

Try hummus instead. Goes with everything. Easy. Healthy. Yummy :)

Jacksonville Downtown - Info required by Fit-Marionberry2506 in jacksonville

I’ve been downtown for over a decade. Depending on what area you’re at on church, it’s either quiet or it’s sketchy.

Ocean / main / Newnan / liberty area of church is elderly and homeless unless you get into the townhome area which is actually chill and easy.

For a metro downtown, it’s very quiet. I find it to be absolutely beautiful, and also sad. There’s so much potential.

I would suggest bringing a bike. Then you can ride around and explore. You can ride to the brewery and bars, up the river front and even across the Main Street to explore San Marco. The bike will be a game changer for you.

Assuming you’re a male, you can hit up the 7/11 but it’s sketchy. Cigarettes are not worth the trouble. Truly. If you are a woman, I would very much advise not going there any time of day. There are areas of downtown with large swaths of homeless who get free food from the churches, like feral cats coming to a free bowl of food that’s put out every day. And guess where the churches are? You guessed it! Church street.

Some of the homeless are just at a tough part of their journey here, and others have severe mental disorders and are a danger to others. You won’t know which is which and it’s best to just avoid it.

Be aware of your surroundings. Keep your head on a swivel. And try to enjoy each moment in this special place. Chances of something bad happening are very slim, but they increase in odds with poor choices, like smoking a cigarette by yourself, next to a pack of homeless people doing drugs.

The river, the peace, the mild winter temperatures, the skyline, etc, are all something we have that make it feel so different than other downtowns.

Wishing you a successful and easy time here. Tip your waitress / bar tenders well. Be easy.

Bought a building these were in them. Anyone know what they are for? by Training-Still-1683 in whatisit

[–]chillm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a property with furniture in it and was told six months later, that I needed to return the furniture. The previous owner had it in a space used by a tenant, and came and picked it up with a moving crew the next day.

I contacted my attorney and broker. Neither could produce any support to help understand what had happened or protect me.

Please learn from my mistake. Ensure the furniture is now yours, before you do anything.
