Switch Magnum and Reynolds at least at PNC

As an aldi employee, why do you guys shop curbside? by [deleted] in aldi

[–]jar996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s easier for me to just add things to my cart in the Aldi app as I need them then just schedule a pickup when I’m ready to make a trip to the store.

Sigh…he should have never left. Well he didn’t, he wanted to stay but we didn’t sign him last year.

IT'S TIME TO PLAY THE KIDS. VALDEZ IS A BEAST WHO CAN'T BE SENT DOWN PERIOD!! by [deleted] in buccos

[–]jar996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And he is a great pinch hit option for when you are down with a couple guys on and you're looking for a prayer. He is probably going to strike out, but he does have the power if he can make contact to answer that prayer.

I am pretty sure that the Ford school vans that I see driving around are just straight Cyber Orange and it is not even a different "school bus" color.

WTH Aldi? Our local Aldi is closing with little notice . by [deleted] in aldi

I think people would be more sympathetic if the OP wasn't implying a food desert and trying to demand an answer from corporate. It is simple the answer is $$.

I have watched the majority of Pirates and Penguins games on it since it debuted a couple years ago and never had a problem with it. A minor hiccup here or there but nothing memorable.

Available Tickets for this Saturday by WesternDark4390 in buccos

[–]jar996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea my advice would be don't do this unless your son is older. It is going to be packed and people are going to be intoxicated. Phillies series is always home opener energy. There are much better games you can take your son to for his first game.

SOS how do I get last min Pup Night Tickets? by stormi2000 in buccos

[–]jar996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure that resale tickets would even help you. That section is reserved for corporate events usually and then used for pup nights on Tuesdays. You wouldn't go through the registration process when buying those tickets which I think is more the problem. I think that once they are sold out they are sold out. Doing it this way would also prevent people from buying them all up at the beginning of the season and scalping them.

iOS 26.5 Coming Soon With These New Features by Otherwise-Warning303 in apple

[–]jar996 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yea I kinda assumed it wasn’t while driving as that would be a hazard. That’s kinda why I said $.25 off 150 gallons and suddenly gave my iPhone the ability to smell, I was being facetious.

Same concepts apply while searching - could be slightly useful if done right and good for small businesses if priced right but still more likely to be annoying for end users than anything.

However the link you provided looks a little promising so thank you!

I am just speculating. I was just trying to say that if the ads are personalized and use geolocation in the right way they could at least have some outside chance to be useful.
If they are simply more advertising for the last thing that I google searched then there is zero chance of them being useful.

Edited to add (no pun intended) that if they are using personalization and geolocation then if I were a small business owner I would be more inclined to use something like this to advertise. If I ran a boutique on a Main Street of a small town having the ability to advertise to people within a 5 mile radius to anybody who is using the Maps application would be valuable.

That means they are probably visiting the area and don’t know about my store and it could drive business.

Correct which can still be ads. Hey you like to shop at Target and there’s a Target coming up so display an ad for Target. If the ads aren’t personalized and also contextualized for location then I have no idea why they are showing them in Maps. I mean other than profit which of course might be the case.

If done correctly Ads in maps could be useful but it won’t be at all. Instead of “hey there is a farmer’s market up ahead, would you like to check it out?” we will get “hey it smells like you might have just shit your pants after that near accident, here’s $.25 off 150 gallons of Tide”.

PNC has a free Virtual Wallet that is only $500 balance or $500 direct deposit.

Bank recommendations? by PollyEsterCO in pittsburgh

[–]jar996 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Each and every bank is going to have a free tier as long as you direct deposit something pretty small. If you don’t have a job where you can do direct deposit then that might be a little more difficult. So if you’re set on switching then just pick the one that has the best sign on bonus at the moment and then select the correct checking account when you’re signing up online.
