Discussion Taco Bell's in the valley.

96 Upvotes

Why are all the fox valley locations so bad in service?

Half of the time they aren't open during their posted hours.

Countless times they've ran out of ingredients or only do mobile/drive through orders only. If you do get an order it's a ridiculous wait time or you get stuck waiting in the drive through.

I honestly don't think corporate cares anymore and isn't holding them accountable? They should be shut down at this point and let a different chain take over those locations.

Question Help

17 Upvotes

My husband and I lost our house in the tornado in menasha and are still trying to find a 2 bedroom to rent. We can’t afford more than 1,200 and don’t want to live in menasha again. Really stuggling to get places to answer us. We want to find a place before winter. We also have a male cat.

Any suggestions on what else i can do? I’m checking apartments.com, zillow, and facebook all the time. I’ve also been calling random apartments and asking for availability.

I’ve also seen a lot of scam listings so.

Discussion Contemplating a potential move

7 Upvotes

I’m from Northern Indiana and I have a job offer from Wisconsin and would be making 70k/year start out. I’m contemplating a move to the Appleton area but I’m a little worried about the weather, traffic, and schools. Indiana is cold and mostly tolerable but I’ve heard Wisconsin is on another level with crazy ice and often times neg temps. How is the traffic especially in the winter? I live in a more rural area around 20k people and I’m assuming I’ll have to commute 15+ min a day in WI. Also how are the schools? I have a 6 year old and I’d love a decent school system.

Sorry for the bombarding questions I’d appreciate any and all advice.

Question Trade Apprenticeships

5 Upvotes

I’m a college graduate with 8 years in at various customer-facing corporate positions and am looking for a career change into the pipe trades or sheet metal but am open to other trades. I’ve been seeking apprenticeships in the area for about 2 months now and can’t seem to find a way in. Even pre-apprenticeships. The unions haven’t been particularly helpful either beyond getting a list of businesses. Has anyone else experienced this? Are the trades slowing down right now?

Food Seeking a similar food item

1 Upvotes

Back in Florida at a pizza place called Five Star Pizza they had an item called a pep roll and it was dough rolled up with pepperoni and provolone inside and then when it was done baking they would lightly cover it with house made garlic butter. I'm wondering if any pizza place within like 30 mins to even an hour away has a similar item because I'm desperately craving it.

Context: moved here from Florida a year ago and love it here but man I miss certain food items I can't seem to fine.

Bonus: a different pizza place in Florida called Hungry Howie's has the most amazing Cajun bread (like garlic bread sticks but with a Cajun seasoning mix on them) if anywhere has a similar item to that as well that would be amazing!

Thank you for the help, really hoping to find something similar but if not I'll just have to survive till my next visit down there.

I may need a little extra time to explore options and see if what I have in mind is possible, so working local (and supporting local) makes the most sense. Thanks!

News Flock Safety spent $102,000 lobbying last year. Today cities are demanding safeguards -- Wisconsin Examiner 8/28

https://wisconsinexaminer.com/2026/08/28/flock-safety-spent-102000-lobbying-last-year-today-cities-are-demanding-safeguards/?

The story includes sums spent in Wisconsin.

Also, recently there was a presentation at the annual computer conference called DEFCON two days ago which was very interesting.

I've encouraged people for years to follow the DEFCON conferences held annually in Las Vegas.

Many are highly recommended. This year they had this talk of interest to the adversarial FLOCK community:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyPmt8CE5L4

The DEFCON conference has been active for 34 years. Another highly recommended is Cory Doctorows's talk from DEFCON 32.

Also from this year, 76 year old Cliff Stoll reprises his talk tracking down the first known hacker in 1986. Just go > Cliff Stoll > DEFCON 34.

Question What to do with old jewelry?

4 Upvotes

I have a wedding and engagement ring from a previous marriage, diamond earrings and some silver bowls/plates. Wondering what’s the best way to go about selling them or who to go to.

I don’t want to go through marketplace and the jeweler I got them from is no longer is business.
Is a pawn shop the best bet? If so, which one?

Thank you
