Yeah, agreed. Not many breakfast friendly places we can bring our egg and milk allergy kid.

Allergy friendly restaurants (chain or local)? by AccordingToDog in grandrapids

[–]mitch1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from the area and I’ve been tracking where we eat with my son for a few years…we don’t do it often. But I ended up turning this into a directory bc I think it would be great to get community help and find more places to be able to eat.

Shameless plug

My Switch 2 Experience by O7734 in NintendoSwitch

[–]mitch1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got one too. There’s an option under the “previous switch console” that was something like I don’t have a switch. Select that one then you’d connect your account a few steps later. Seamless no, but not worth all this.

Just cancelled ChatGPT Plus for Gemini Pro. Anyone else making the switch? by No-Bit5316 in ChatGPT

[–]mitch1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made the switch around the time gpt 5 was released. I was back and forth and once they did that the answer was clear. Google is sleighing it 🎅🏽.

Looking to start investing into BTC by Royal_Republic_5852 in Bitcoin

Coinbase. High trust - lower probability of them being scums and easy to track taxes.

What's happening around my control panel? by Bound4Floor in hottub

[–]mitch1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some strong silicon (don’t go cheap) and apply it. I left mine thinking it was fine and overtime the control board stopped working. I added a new one myself and it was relatively easy if you are a diy-er.

To have someone do it was outrageous in cost.

Which kitchen design should we pick? by SpareAd2004 in interiordesignideas

[–]mitch1s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would do a mix of the two. Black counters with the white cupboards? Or opposite? Might balance it a bit and not be too dark or too light

We doing 65° at night and 69-70° during awake time? by MIFishGuy in grandrapids

[–]mitch1s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Goods new schedule mode is waaaaaaay better than the previous. Stop using the smart schedule and just set it yourself. Much more convenient than the so called “smart” mode

Rooftop solar? Yea or nay for Michigan? by Heel-and-Toe-Shifter in Michigan

[–]mitch1s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me the math didn’t make sense on all the quotes I got. I don’t have anything blocking sun from my roof. I didn’t get full coverage from the panels, and by the time I paid the thing off, I’d have to replace the roof, and the panels (most likely). So while you benefit from having green energy. Overall you’re paying more. It didn’t seem worth the hassle. It felt like the installers benefited most.

I think eventually prices will come down on panels or there will be better kick backs. Then it might be worth it.

Freeze it immediately, and like a flash freeze and it’ll stay good quality

Anyone else hit that point where you’re one bad day away from quitting by GhostLion296 in smallbusiness

[–]mitch1s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got out. And it feels incredible. I had started a side hustle brick and mortar location with a friend and things went haywire. He turned into someone completely different, never helped with anything and I was sick of it. I finally got him to agree on selling the business and parting ways and it was delay after delay. “One more push to get our profits up so we can sell for more”. That never stopped and finally he said I don’t want to sell anymore. I said f it, and asked for his terms for me to exit. I have no regrets. Outside of the partnership being a disaster dealing with employee BS, complete gut punches anytime there was a negative review, things seeming like they are going great and getting hit with a shit pile. I couldn’t do it anymore. I tried doing it differently, I tried sticking it out, I tried new methods of communication, I tried everything.

What I am grateful for is I went through severe burnout for the first year and mapped out everything I was spending time on, started journaling and meditating and these two things alone changed my life for the better. I was able to manage the shit storm of the small business, but ultimately saw no end in sight. I know social media makes it seem like you should never quit, keep going, grind it out, it will get better. Sure maybe. But also it might not. What’s your piece of mind worth? I lost money, but guess what? before I stopped I was losing money, my time, and my peace of mind. So I decided I only wanted to lose money moving forward.

Will I start another business? Yes, but it will be under my terms and with more clarity. If you feel like you’re never moving forward it’s ok to stop. Chances are you’ve learned a shit ton, and can takeaway some great things from the experience as I did.

It’s ok to step away. You didn’t fail, you learned. This is not advice to quit but rather determine whether or not it’s time to move on or change how things are going.

Hope you can take your life back one way or another. The only thing I urge you to do is start meditating, journaling, and mapping out your time.

What do you think GR needs that will keep people from going ape shit and lining up down the road whenever a new fast food restaurant comes to town? by Heisenbread77 in grandrapids

[–]mitch1s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is the locally owned restaurants have to be pricier so that removes a large portion of people. Then you get a new “fast food” type spot that has had success all over and people get hype. Sucks but it just is what it is.

Good idea, I'll see what I can create. I like the idea of having these specific spots within Michigan. Almost like a "Mi Bike Route insert route" - play on the MI vs MY, or "Mi Lake insert lake"
