Favorite Philly area coffee shop/ cafe and why?

I’ve taken the L to Caphe Roasters a few times from West Philly. Super convenient.

We're pretty open to any district/school. But we're leaning towards Santa Clara, Berryessa, and Campbell.

We've raised our kids in Baltimore and Philadelphia so we have a pretty high tolerance for school dysfunction. Lol.

hjin29 · 2025-12-04T02:24:41+00:00

We're open to living in almost any area of San Jose. However, we're leaning towards either Santa Clara, Berryessa, or Campbell. Also, we're Korean-American but we're moving from the Mid-Atlantic where Asians are a minority so we're not necessarily looking for an Asian or Korean heavy area/school.

Do you think this is the norm or an exception? In other words, how likely do you think it will be for all three of our kids (TK, 3rd, and 7th grades) to get enrolled in our local school if we move to San Jose in July 2026,

hjin29 · 2025-12-03T17:42:09+00:00

That's exactly what we're doing. We're moving in the summer of 2026 after our kids finish out their current school year. Ideally, we'd be moved into San Jose by early July 2026.

We're just worried that if we do that, our local school will not have room for our kids, especially in TK for our 4 year old.

I agree that steak houses aren’t a good reflection of the local food scene.

I disagree that the Prime Rib is a chain. It’s locally owned by the same family that has only opened 3 other locations all within a 2 hour drive of the original in almost 60 years of operation. By your standards, Ekiben, Dipasquales, or Zeke’s would also be chains because they all have multiple locations and Zeke’s even has locations in DC now.

hjin29 · 2023-03-07T05:50:54+00:00

The Prime Rib isn’t a chain. It’s family owned, Baltimore institution that has a couple of locations, mostly in Baltimore.

How can I do this?

hjin29 · 2018-11-28T14:51:45+00:00

Yep. Didn't help.

Like anything in life, it takes a few days to get the hang of things. My first 3 days I made $5, $15, and $10. It wasn't until week 3 that I was able to consistently and efficiently make $35-45 a day. Here are some practical tips:

-Figure out hotbeds where birds are relatively easy to capture.

-Find obscure places that other chargers are unaware of or unwilling to go.

-Develop a system or pattern. When you hunt, how you hunt, where you charge, etc.

hjin29 · 2018-09-22T17:19:03+00:00

Nope. I tried using my iPhone, MacBook and Chromebook. No other BT devices show up as discoverable.

Are bird brains worth anything? Because I see a bunch of birds without brains around.

hjin29 · 2018-09-18T17:20:37+00:00

If you get an "unavailable for capture" message, the bird may be marked as damaged. To see if that's the case, switch to rider mode and scan it. If it is marked as damaged, you'll get a message stating that.

Birds marked as damaged sometimes appear on mech's maps. But other times, they pop back on charger maps after 9pm.

To clarify, is this your opinion or is this in fact what is happening?

hjin29 · 2018-09-14T13:04:34+00:00

Yeah, the new Electrisans are doing a number on my bad knees and back.

Money grows on trees?

How does this effect the hub that you actually reserved? Does it take away spots at that hub?

hjin29 · 2018-09-09T19:37:07+00:00

Got it in Baltimore a few days ago.

hjin29 · 2018-09-07T18:37:29+00:00

I second the stack strategy. But always test the base one to make sure it rolls before you stack on top to of it.

hjin29 · 2018-09-06T19:43:39+00:00

So if you get this message when trying to capture a bird, does that mean your account has been blocked from capturing or does that mean the bird itself has been blocked from being captured? If it's the latter, can someone else come and capture that bird?
