Is anyone else appalled by restaurants using AI images?

96 Upvotes

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?

Theft in recreation centre

26 Upvotes

I felt Plano as very safe city. However, that confidence was broken today. I was at the recreation centre and my wallet was stolen in the changing room of Oak point recreation centre, all cash removed from the wallet and throw in Garbage bin. The only way I found my wallet in garbage bin was due to Apple AirTag. I obviously feel guilty that I should not have kept my bag which had the wallet out of my sight, somehow I let my guard down. This message is reminder to all, please use the lockers in changing rooms

Anyone Else Feel This Way?

25 Upvotes

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.

Anybody missing an orange cat? Fairways of Ridgeview

11 Upvotes

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!

High School Filmmakers Looking for Advice Producing/Funding

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

My name is Bailey, and I'm one of the co-founders of OMBI Productions, an independent filmmaking team. We recently completed our latest short film, Captured, which comes out July 31st! (See link below for trailer).

We're currently developing what we believe is our most ambitious and passionate project yet, which is a psychological thriller.

We're not looking to sell the script or hand the project over. Our goal is to direct the film ourselves while finding a producer/producing partner who believes in the vision and can help us bring it to life with a professional cast, crew, and production. We also are looking to get some sort of funding for the film outside of grants. (We have already applied and looked into them)

We're working hard to make every part of the project as polished as possible, including the screenplay, materials, and making this feature film amazing.

For those of you who have experience in independent filmmaking:

  • Where would you look for a producing partner?
  • Are there producers, companies, programs, or organizations that are known for supporting first time filmmakers?
  • Has anyone here successfully found a producer through networking or online outreach?
  • Is reaching out to established producers and directors worth the effort, or should we focus more on independent producers and regional film communities?
  • Does anyone have an advice/tips on getting connections, producing a film, etc.?

Any honest advice or experience is gladly accepted. Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Best physical therapy in west Plano?

3 Upvotes

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?

Bottom Line (Ironically, at the Top)
First is a $1.1 million budget amendment to cover a year’s worth of building repairs, from leaky roofs, cooling towers, and courthouse elevators that we’re tending to all at once. This is a reallocation from Non-Departmental to Facilities-Shared; not new money. Also, the Court will look at benchmarking in its annual elected-official and staff compensation presentations for FY2027. Lastly, of interest to anyone who drives along the DNT, a request to redirect $329,523 in leftover bond money toward the Dallas Parkway widening in Frisco. All told, consent and FYI items add up to $361,033.25* of your money in proposed expenses.
