Plug what you want to do and accomplish into one of the AI chat boxes and prompt it to give you an exact itinerary based on most logical routes for efficiency and timeliness.
re: How does the OT Track their Finances?
Posted by Roy Curado on 4/17/26 at 3:06 pm to Sunnyvale
I was previously doing excel. I am still using excel for my "big picture."
I started using Monarch earlier this year and its phenomenal for tracking, categorizing, and managing spending. It connects to all your bank accounts and auto populates transactions and you can create rules to auto assign to reoccurring transactions. I think it lacks in everything else.

re: What is the best/cheapest way to book a hotel?
Posted by Roy Curado on 4/16/26 at 10:12 am to hassan whiteside
Check all the third party sites, then check directly with the hotel, and then check with any of your credit card travel portals.
My flow typically looks like. Search for a hotel on hotel.com to find a few (I like their UI and its a pretty fast platform), then I find 3 or 4 contenders, then check my chase travel portal to see if they have a better price or point boost. As long as its the same price or cheaper on chase travel, ill book it there because I get more benefits being a Chase Sapphire Reserve holder.
Be careful selecting those government and AAA rates (they are typically not any better and just a marketing ploy nowadays) because they can ask for you to prove you can get that rate.

re: Entergy needs seven new power plants for the META Data Centers
Posted by Roy Curado on 4/15/26 at 3:58 pm to nicholastiger
A ton of this anti-data center and water consumption rhetoric is coming from the smelly low lifes at the Alliance for Affordable Energy (bunch of tree hugging wacko green new deal environmentalists).
Do your own research and deep dive into these deals and stop taking propaganda headlines at face value.

Officials announced that Meta planned to fund the construction of seven new power plants that would generate more than 5,200 megawatts of electricity, some 240 miles of new 500 kV transmission lines connecting southern Louisiana to northern Louisiana and Arkansas, upgrade Entergy’s existing nuclear power plants, build up to 2,500 megawatts of solar farms and install batteries to store solar power across three locations to support the data center.

It would. But take 7-10 years to build.

Suggesting accounts "should" be using MFA instead of "must" is laughable in todays threat actor environment.

How much do YOU want to manage it?
If not much, park it in a HYSA or keep buying CDs.

re: What % of your net take home pay is your mortgage payment?
Posted by Roy Curado on 4/8/26 at 10:20 am to Brobocop
33.7%. This is accounting for both my rental and primary mortgages and I am factoring in my rental income into my net income.
Just my primary and all net income minus rental income = 25.4%

If you like all the coasters, its a 2 day park. If you just enjoy theme parks, you could get by with 1 day. I did 2 and didnt feel like I got old of it and I am not a huge coaster person.

Lauberge has them on Fridays and Saturday but I know they sometimes switch to AYCE crawfish during crawfish season.
Make the drive to Silver Slipper or some of the Biloxi/Gulfport Casinos that have them.
There are a few seafood buffets in South LA that sometimes have them like a place in Ville Platte and Loranger. I forget the names of those.
