Can't believe our tax dollars will be used to pay royalties for using Trump's name. Thought it was just his name, not a whole royalty deal on top.
I’m moving to the Boynton beach area and I’m trying to set up an FPL account. The deposit seems ridiculous. I have a credit score of 760 so I’m not sure what’s going on. Could the price be the previous tenants previous bill? Anyone familiar with this?
Flava D & Chef Boyarbeatz are cooking up for 3 years of Rumble in the Jungle!🎂
Who am I seeing out there??
I know it's more on Dade's hands to deal with preparation and such, but with the news of the fifa fan store opening in miami beach and that it's south florida we're talking about, has there been any preparation that broward is doing? Or even any word about fan stores opening up here?
Here's what I keep thinking about. We're the ones who actually work outside. Construction, landscaping, valet, warehouse, roofing, delivery, cars detailing. we get more UV exposure than literally anyone. And the education on this for us is ZERO. Every sunscreen ad is white women on a beach. Every "men's skincare" brand looks like it's selling to bankers going to the pool on weekends.
We're the ones taking the real damage and we're the ones with nothing. Not the product, not the information, not even the permission to use it without getting clowned by the people standing next to us.
Anyone else on this sub working outside in South Florida? How do you handle it — do you use anything, or did you also give up? Why is there no education on this for the only group of men who actually need it?
I have lived down here for 3 years between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Looking back at my experience:
- Software dev in his early 20s who got a new 6 figure job, am a nerd and like learning. I moved here
- Place was interesting to me because I like warm weather and dressing down. I am from the Midwest rust belt area originally and I liked how everything looks newer and it was more diverse (very white and provincial where I'm from)
- For the first year or so it seemed good. I made some friends and a girlfriend like me
- Then I noticed one by one the friends I made always left and my girlfriend and her family. I don't know anyone anymore here. I feel like I'm in a waiting room
- The people who do stay I would call the "dominate type" (at my age) of South Florida. Too concerned with their appearance and looking successful. The types of jobs that value presence over competence. I can't connect. The types of jobs people work here are different from mine
- I've had several older locals ask me how long I've been here in the last 6 months. I said 3 years and they were impressed, like it was a long time, interesting they gave the same answer. For like half of that I was checked out so I'm guessing that was on schedule - only reason I stayed is because I was grinding Spanish to move abroad eventually, saving all my money, and the logistics of that take time. Florida became a base camp
- It made complete sense having more reference points of life elsewhere. especially Mexico City. I felt oddly comfortable there, felt like I could meet people like me so much more easily and it just had a good vibe
- My parents also visit. 2 times since I've lived here staff has also gotten weird in certain businesses in the "young areas" that I'm out with my parents, like I'm weak or dependent. anyone can explain that?
- Also have had plenty of experiences with businesses that I've felt scammed or they were trying to scam me, never been so angry before. I've basically lost my filter in certain social contexts
Moving here was a bad decision. But hindsight is 20/20. Younger me probably would have done it anyway and said those people are wrong and you can find people in metro of 6 million. At least I learned who I was and made logistical progress in life
Hiii! I know this is a bit early but I'm an 18 y/o going to MegaCon next year and I really don't want to go alone! I was wondering if anyone who goes, or anyone who has considered going/enjoys anything nerdy at all (i.e. video games, anime, tcg's, cosplay, etc.) who would like to be my friend/go to con with me. My dm's are open!!! TYSM!
Positives are obviously the hurricane wind resistance. Negatives are the possible problem of cell and RF signal interference and they look like shit.
Hello all. I work at a local library down in South Florida near the Miami area and we're looking to work with local authors for a small Local Author Festival sometime later this year. We're looking for Children's, Teens/YA, and Adult Fic and Non-Fic writers. If anyone is interested, please feel free to comment or shoot me a message. Thank you!
Dropped my iphone 14 pro yesterday and the screen cracked pretty badly. not completely shattered but there are visible cracks across the top half and it is starting to affect the touch sensitivity in one corner. been eligible for an upgrade for a few months now but the new models feel like a marginal improvement for a significant price jump.
The apple store quoted me something that felt steep for a screen repair and i've been wondering if there are better options in miami that do the same quality work for less. also genuinely not sure whether spending money on a repair for a 2 year old phone is smarter than putting that toward a new one.
What would people in this situation actually do and if repair is the answer, what should i be looking for in a repair shop to make sure i'm not getting a substandard replacement screen?
Edit: I will check out Mobile Xpert as suggested. thanks
Hello I am doing a school report on invasive species in South Florida and was hoping you could fill out this form https://forms.gle/zEG2Vabq1YRa5xA38 to help me get results for my project. You do not need to answer all the questions. Thank you to all who take the form and please ignore any typos :).
Hello everyone!
I am thinking about moving from San Francisco to Florida. I work in finance and would like to rent a house or apartment in Florida and use it both as my office and as my living space.
In San Francisco, there were very strict restrictions on living in commercial spaces and working in residential homes (unless zoning allowed it and you didn’t have in-person clients or employees, etc.).
I was wondering how things work in Florida. Do cities like Miami enforce restrictions on living and working in the same space? Are there any specific areas, like SoMa in San Francisco, with lofts specifically designed for this type of live/work setup?
Or, if I rent a regular house or apartment in the city, can I use the address to register a company and occasionally meet with clients or have a few employees there?
P.S. The business I’m looking to operate is a financial advisory firm.
P.S. 2: In almost all California lease agreements, there is usually a standard clause stating: “This apartment/house is rented for residential use only, and tenants are not allowed to conduct any business activities on the premises.”
Is there a similar standard clause in Florida lease agreements as well?
Are there any around here besides Fort Lauderdale? They closed the boynton one I used to go to as a kid
Networking/Meetup: Looking for Tech Interested, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, & Algo/Quant people in South Florida for networking and open discussion group meet-ups.
Hey everyone,
I’m an entrepreneur in the Fort Lauderdale/Boca area looking to connect with people who are actually building things in tech. It can be a bit of a grind finding like-minded people here who want to talk shop about more than just "the scene."
I'm specifically interested in:
I’m not pitching anything or recruiting—just looking for smart, curious people to grab coffee, talk tech, or brainstorm. We currently have a small group of about 10 people and are putting together a casual group chat to coordinate meetups and share resources.
If you’re a developer, trader, founder, or just a tech enthusiast who enjoys deep dives into emerging tech, drop a comment or shoot me a DM.
Also, if anyone has recommendations for solid coworking spaces or tech events in South Florida, let me know!
