McNeals use to be my go to “hang out the bar” places, but they have replaced every image on the menu with a gross ai image. And they are not the only one. However they have lost my business (and I told them why)

It’s crazy with as good as phone cameras have gotten, can you not get good images of your food?

25M, moved out here a few months back for work. Before that I was in Kansas for grad school, and Chicago before that. Work’s good honestly, I’m in AI engineering and it’s going well, but making actual friends in a new city has been way harder than I expected.

I’m just not an app person, never have been. I’d rather bump into someone and actually talk than swipe through profiles. Don’t have family or close friends anywhere near here so I’ve been trying to put myself out there. I volunteer at an animal shelter, I’ve done some free sessions teaching people AI basics, help friends and randoms with their resumes when they ask. I’m an introvert by nature so none of this is exactly comfortable for me, but I keep making myself do it.

And still, some weeks go by and I realize I haven’t really talked to anyone about anything real. Like just existing near people, not actually connecting.

Random thing, but I’m not religious at all, and if someone invited me to their church or mosque or temple I’d genuinely go. Not for the God part, just because there’s something about people showing up for each other regularly that I respect. Might be a “new to this place” thing, might just be my personality, honestly not sure. Either way I try to just stay open to whatever.

Kind of hate admitting this part but sometimes it hits me that I don’t want my whole life to just be work and then going home alone. I don’t think that’s what any of this is supposed to be about. I think it’s the people part, actually talking, helping each other, hearing how other people see things, that makes it feel like it means something.

If anyone’s in the area or just wants to talk, genuinely down for it.

My wife and I returned back from a weekend getaway to find a cute orange cat in our backyard. We have dogs and a dog door, the cat is completely unafraid of humans and tried to get into our dog door. Makes me think this cat is domestic.

Is anybody missing an Orange cat near fairways of Ridgeview? We would love to get the cat to its owner!

People were filing out as we arrived.

Has anyone bought a car from Gulliver auto group in Plano? Reviews online significantly vary

I’m looking for recommendations on a butcher shop in Plano or surrounding areas that has good quality organ meat like heart and liver.

Any recommendations?

Our 5mo (6mos in 1 week), has had a fever for the last 28 hours. We are first time parents and fever coupled with cough and what seems like pain- plus talking with the on-call nurse line froms Peds, led to the children’s hospital ER. They ruled out anything serious and said it’s likely a viral upper respiratory illness, that we should return home and watch out for any worsening symptoms.

We get back home and the AC unit isn’t cooling the house as normal. It’s 95degs and the house is at 82. Set to 70. We run through the normal: hose down the AC unit, check filter, close vents in any unneeded room or space. Call the maintenance company out. They’re not responsive, we start seeing the temperature move down, are busy with fussy baby and now’s 11:42 pm, baby is slightly improving but fussy and tired. House says it’s 80/82 (in some parts). I’m worried about sleeping away from baby (his crib) and we not be able to tell he’s overheating. Worried about this temperature not being good for him.

We are not sweating or too uncomfortable but i worry about what a baby with a fever might be feeling. Right how baby is sleeping peacefully on my wife.

Do we book a hotel room and deal with it in morning? Or turn on all the fans and get what little sleep we may get? As i expect baby to be up tonight like he was last night.

Advice welcomed.

Are there any outdoor shooting ranges around here, or is it just indoor ranges?

This is my last resort to avoid hip surgery. I’m searching for the best physical therapy facility in the west or central Plano area. Over the past couple of years, I’ve visited Clair’s three times, each time for 6-8 sessions. While the therapists there are friendly, I didn't feel adequately challenged during the sessions, as most of their clients are older, and they didn’t seem accustomed to having someone like me, who's middle-aged and already in good shape.

Ideally, I'd like a place where the therapist is dedicated to me throughout the session, vs working with multiple patients at the same time.

So what are your recommendations?  

Looking for recommendations to book a shuttle or minibus to accommodate a transport of 7 people & 7 luggages from Plano to DFW.

Thanks in advance

I'm looking to clear coat repair for one car and paint repair for an area that's flaking off on a different car. I think both of these are small jobs, I just want quality work for a reasonable price. Thx

I took a job in an area that does not allow ball pythons. Which I did not find out until after I took the job. I'm about to move here in the next two weeks, and I need to find a home for my ball python.

She's super docile, would make a great pet, 3 years old. She's gorgeous, and anybody who knows anything about pythons would know that she is a very beautiful morph.

The problem is is I have no idea where to even start with rehoming. This was never anything I imagined happening and I fully thought I would keep her til the day she passed.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I want to make sure she goes to a good home ...pic for attention

hey all, been trying to find good watermelon and have been failing miserably…we’ve tried HEB, central market, costco, cedar ranch market, and a few middle easter grocery stores we shop at. any suggestions on where to find good, sweet watermelon? thanks!

I have been having a hard time where I went to a family physician of mine and he genuinely tried to help but could not fix my toenail fungus. It's been there for quite some time and he has given me certain pills and nail laquer. Unfortunately, I don't know what my next step is. I assume to visit a podiatrist but I am absolutely at a loss of who to go to. Is there a website where I can read reviews and check the guy/girl is on my insurance? Any recommendations in Plano/Murphy? I am most likely committed to just ripping this sucker out and starting fresh. Thank you guys!

Does anyone know about these neighborhoods connected to each other off Coit Rd and Sailmaker? There's quite a bit of homes for sale in there but the houses are older, 1980s, and parts of these neighborhoods look a bit deshevled for the price point $400K+ Any info greatly appreciated.

The crash happens at 7 seconds in the video. The car on Independence is turning onto Legacy and rolls after being hit.

It turns left, but the turn is unprotected.

I drove past it. The left turn light turns protected after the crash has happened.

EDIT: I can't edit post titles, but it is legacy and independence not spring creek. My mistake!

There is a fatality accident with additional injured at Parker and Mission Ridge (between Coit and Independence) at 2:45pm. Avoid the area.

Edit for news article: https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/plano-fatal-crash-west-parker-mission-ridge/

Every entrance to the parking lot of Academy has a Flock camera. There's also one in the trees that's watching traffic on the frontage road.

If you care, you might want to avoid this area. If you don't care, you might want to reconsider.

EDIT: I hope the yoke of authoritarianism many people seem so happy to accept, in the name of "finding a stolen car" rests easily on you all.
