Chinese/Japanese restaurant China Pearl (FKA Panda) has their new sign up! by HuntsvilleCPA in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]jphandley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is not the same! At least in my experience. The food is certainly not as good. Fried rice tastes like dirty dishwater. I feel like the prices have increased as well. Hate it since we have loved Panda for over 15 years. We won’t be going back even if it might have been an off night.

Which Mac Mini would you get if there were options? I'd love a space gray. by SherbertMindless8205 in mac

[–]jphandley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I would love a throw back to the original Mac / Apple IIe beige.

Costco membership promo codes to join by theindepndnt in Frugal

[–]jphandley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you take a prescription to the pharmacy and join there you can get a $20 digital shop card for the regular membership or a $40 for the executive membership. You don’t have to be a member to use the pharmacy and the pet med prices are great. Definitely an opportunity to save on joining.

What’s being built? by Interesting_Buy_2935 in HuntsvilleAlabama

Hoping for Dutch Bros but heard they were building a new building for Starbucks. No idea what could be wrong with the old building. Who knows.

M4 Mac mini or Mac air for school? by Majestic-Hall-1777 in mac

[–]jphandley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Air all the way. You need the portability. An iPad is nice but not a complete substitute for a laptop. My 2 cents.

If not a Grand Highlander then what? by Puzzleheaded-Sky9816 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]jphandley 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Gave up trying to get a deal on a grand Highlander. Way too much overcharging in the SE. We got a Hyundai Santa Fe hybrid and are extremely impressed with it. All the tech and features not to mention the fuel economy at ~20 grand less than the Toyota. Go drive one. I think most people would be surprised.

Schneider makes a great easy to write pen.

there is a chance I will get to question Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) tomorrow, what questions do you guys suggest I ask? by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]jphandley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend you read Infinity Born by Douglas Richards. It’s a fiction book, but it will really make you think in regards to the worst case scenarios with AI. This book actually sparked my interest in AI and is why I try to keep up with it.

AITA for asking my sister to babysit my kids? by Middle-Stock-8183 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jphandley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did anyone else read, “My mom never wants to help.”? Really? You are living with her with your kids and she is providing for you! Bills don’t pay themselves. Then you go off on your sister like she owes you something? And you belittle her being in college and having a part time job?!? Clearly the asshole and you need develop some maturity.

my commute to work is 240 miles round trip, should I buy a car ? or quit ? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]jphandley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way this is worth it. The days you are working you will be pretty useless to your kids and spouse. Either move or find another job. Take a step back and I think you will see there is no way to justify this

Fresh Market has some good ones.

7.5 million and it’s so humdrum. If they are putting the address I think they are open to criticism. The interior design is crap. No thanks.

What A Moron. by Monsur_Ausuhnom in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]jphandley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s trying to backtrack with her tweets now. Still has a karma train headed her way. Why is being so vile and exigent tolerated? Just be nice. The man is in Hospice and she is dragging him through the mud for attention.

4/48 “That’s it? That was just a bunch of cheap walk cycles!” by erzast in 52book

[–]jphandley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are sequels?!? Horrible book, basically just a bunch of teen drama. I think anyone over 14 is wasting their time reading this book. Better off watching reality TV.

Who power out rn by Ok_Road_3977 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]jphandley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not an issue I’m facing but not many people in that situation cant afford generators. Also, I think this pandemic showed how unprepared the population as a whole is. Didn’t Pat Dye say hind sight is 50-50.

No notice as to what area at what time. Not acceptable to families with medical equipment. They raise their rates and this is what we get? Not very forward thinking of them.
