I'm not usually one to complain but literally every time I order from DoorDash something gets fucked up. Even from different stores/restaurants, different days of the week, different times of day. They pick up the wrong order, my order is wrong, or they go to some random address for drop off. Is this a universal experience in Gainesville or am I just cursed? Tonight I ordered from Chipotle and the dasher sat at the "delivery address" which was not even close to my address for 20+ minutes! Never messaged me or anything. Pretty sure he ate my burrito. Guess he needed it more than me ☹️ does anyone else have this problem?
Don't waste your time applying there they will waste your time by telling you to come in for an interview just to not even meet with you or hire you even though they keep saying they're short staffed
What happened to the buzz? What else is there?

It’s been a while since I’ve needed to hop on an RTS bus on a game day. Can anyone attest to how service is on game days? I know the busses run but is there anything I should know before I just hop on? I will be going pretty close to campus.
Their windows look a lot less dark, the sign posted on the door is gone, and it looks like the boxes they had inside have been moved out. There's a (turned off) neon open sign inside on the window, I'm not sure if that was always there and the windows were too tinted to see it, or I didn't notice it, or if it's new.
Not sure what's happening, whether they're moving out of the spot or if they're doing something inside.

Does anyone know a good shop in GNV that would replace my 2014 Prius C hybrid battery ?
I'm considering getting LASIK done at UF Health. They offered it for $3200 ($3150 for the procedure + $50 consultation). However, I couldn't find much feedback about their LASIK services on Reddit or elsewhere. Has anyone had experience with them, or would you recommend another provider in the Gainesville area or nearby?
I saw a few different places online but what is yalls opinion on the best & most affordable to get a small sign made? It’s for my 2 small businesses. Thanks!

Looking to potentially switch to att wireless service. In the past I left them due to crappy coverage in gainesville but since I gave their fiber internet now the plans look good (20% discount). Who has them and whats the coverage like? Specifically in comparison to verizon.. if it helps I'm primarily on the NW side of town
Hi! Anyone knows any pest control services on gainesville that offers services for cars?
Here in Blues Creek, IQ Fiber has been laying cable all week, which is very exciting as yet another alternative to shitty Cox. But it seems they struck a cable for AT&T Fiber, so myself and others I've seen on Nextdoor have been without internet for two days now.
I booked an appointment with AT&T for Saturday but if this is a problem with the underground line affecting others, I fear the tech not being able to immediately help.
I wasn't planning on switching at this time since AT&T has been rock solid with 1/1 up/down speeds for a fraction of what Cox charged, and I saw IQ was also well priced but still $5 more so I had no reason to. But I work from home so I don't know if I'll have a choice.
Anyone else experiencing this dilemma?
As an international student I don’t have either dental insurance nor Medicare/Medicaid benefits. Therefore, now that I am in need of someone to take care of a tooth decay I cannot afford it. Can someone be so kind and share any free resources for a full time student with minimum income to barely survive every month?
What’s goin on? Everyone is outside (and now it’s raining)
Based on this sub’s recommendations I’ve visited Pearl a number of times across the past many years. I’ve never once had a good experience with their BBQ. It’s always unseasoned and bland. Their sauces are too sweet.
Yet everyone seems to love it. I keep giving it another shot just to make sure I’m not going there on an off day.
What exactly is it about Pearl that this sub enjoys? I’ve tried the brisket, ribs, smoked chicken, sausages, all of their sides, all of their sauces. What am I doing wrong?
For reference what I consider good BBQ is what Vics, Pecan Lodge & Terry Black serves in Texas. I also enjoy Korean BBQ meat. Smokey, well seasoned, well cooked, high flavour meat. I also prefer BBQ sauces with some spicy kick to it.
Edit 1 For context I’m not from the US, and did not grow up eating BBQ. I tried a few places across the American states I’ve visited. Texas was obviously incredibly good, and places like NYC and SF had good BBQ. I was under the impression that southern states is where you get authentic BBQ.
This is the reason why I asked if I was doing something wrong because I didn’t grow up eating this food and maybe I’m not eating the right things from Pearl.
Edit 2 I accept the criticism that I’m not exactly comparing apples to apples with my examples. At the same time I feel Sonnys, 4Rivers, Adams, and maybe even Mojos are slightly better than Pearl.
I guess I’m looking for intense smokey & seasoned flavour.
Let me start with I have zero affiliation with JFJ Pressure Washing other than being a happy customer and I have never plugged a local business on Reddit before.
I was out walking this morning bright and early and ran into Bobby, who I believe is the co-owner of JFJ Pressure Washing, arriving to work on my neighbor's house. I awkwardly asked him like "hey, you're out here with all your equipment... you wanna make a few more bucks doing my driveway?" Shot him a text with my name and address.
Bobby came by a few hours later, gave my driveway a glance, named a price so reasonable I don't even want to disclose it - it may have truly been the "only because I'm in your neighborhood" price. I paid him more than he asked for. I would have to think his new customer, "I have to drive to you" price isn't all that much higher.
Bobby did a fantastic job, my driveway looks better than ever. Super friendly, hard working guy. I'd absolutely recommend his company's services if you need your exterior surfaces cleaned. I have not come across such an honest operation in quite a while.
As the title states.
I noticed an abundance of police today while I was out and several were in my neighborhood appearing to mingle which is not too common.
Edited to add: Thank you for the award!
Now y’all go vote!
