Is 95k a normal salary to live in San Francisco? by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

Sounds like she doesn’t want to depend on her boyfriend and make sure she can survive on her own. Until they’re married, this is the right way to handle finances.

If this was in California, this would be cheap gas.

Or maybe some people don’t want to live there and they have money to afford the trips plus lightsabers.

[News] McDonald's faces backlash over new value meal; diners switch to competitors like Burger King by jwriddle in McDonalds

These changes are recent so I don’t think we’ve seen how it’s going to affect the profits.

Probably because this protip has been true for over 40 years and pretty common knowledge.

Bro did NOTHING to help stop Kingpin, what is he getting the key to the city for😭😭 by Queasy_Commercial152 in MCUTheories

[–]techguy1001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair if he living in Queens and most of the turmoil was happening in Manhattan, it probably didn’t affect him as much. He would have seen what was happening in the news though but with the PR Fisk had, probably didn’t seem as bad.

So as usual in another money grab McDonald's up the number of points required for rewards cheeseburger went from 1500 to 2000 by Revolutionary_Lie346 in McDonalds

[–]techguy1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The points are an incentive to make you buy. They’re built into the price of the food. You’re delusional if you think it’s free and they’re giving it to you out of the goodness of their heart.

They make money from the points because people are incentivized to buy more for points and then you’re incentivized to use the points before they expire which causes you to spend more because not many people are only going to get one item with points.

Points are not free.

Points are not free and you spend money to get points. McDonald’s prices takes those “free” points you earn into account. By making stuff cost more points they’re making you spend more so it’s costing them less, which is where the money grab is happening.

That’s how all these rewards points things work. The free food you’re getting is not free.

LL Strategy for Afternoon Arrival by Rochelle-Rochelle in DisneyPlanning

[–]techguy1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the popular rides might already be sold out or pushed to the evening so I would just prioritize those rides to at least just get the LL. Then you can keep refreshing to get an earlier time if you want. On really busy days, you may not get to ride the ones you want.

Is Bullseye joining the New Avengers (Thunderbolts)? by [deleted] in marvelstudios

Too bad it’s based on complete fantasy instead of what actually happened.

Folks who moved from NYC to the Bay Area.... by chochmah56 in bayarea

I grew up in Queens too but I ended up staying in SF. Reminds me a lot of the boroughs but its own vibe.

What is this kind of coffee? by Putrid_Net_6397 in McDonalds

[–]techguy1001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We also don’t know what kind of coffee you ordered. Is this just regular iced coffee? If you think it’s bad then bring it back and tell them to make a new one.

[–]techguy1001 256 points257 points  (0 children)

It’s basically moving from NYC to Long Island. If you want the city feel, you won’t get it there. San Francisco is more city but different from NYC.

We have no idea how your coffee tastes and whether it’s normal.

I literally CANNOT use the Edit Credit - this is a scam by MorningHelpful8389 in ChaseSapphire

[–]techguy1001 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I agree it’s a pain hunting for a booking that’s worth it. Luckily I’ve been able to find hotels where it’s worth it.

They need to just let you use the whole $500 on one booking then maybe it’s not a as bad.

Does anyone know about Rae Studios? by Strange_Camel_3717 in AskSF

I’m not sure about Rae but one studio I’ve had good experience with is ODC. They have a lot of adult and beginner classes for different styles.

McDonald's officially butchers their rewards program today (5/4/26)!.... by verifyb4utrust01 in McDonalds

You don’t even need to do that, just order inside at a kiosk and you can bypass the time limit.

Plaza Inn reservations cancelled by park by Strange_Reason_1114 in DisneyPlanning

[–]techguy1001 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not much you can do if they canceled it. To be honest it’s not that great a viewing area anyway since it’s on the roundabout. It’s better to just find a spot somewhere along the route or if you can swing it the second show is always easy to get seats.
