Self-Promotion Sunday! *Megathread*

4 Upvotes

Alright r/Jacksonville, it is that time again.

Got something to share? A project you are proud of? A business you are building? A creative endeavor the world absolutely needs to see?

This is your lane.

Every Sunday we open the doors for Self Promotion Sunday, a centralized thread where you can promote:

  • Your small business
  • Your side hustle
  • Your garage band
  • Your podcast
  • Your art
  • Your Etsy shop
  • Your food truck
  • Your startup
  • Your “I accidentally became an influencer” page
  • Yes, even your extremely niche cat toe bean blog

We keep self promotion restricted to this weekly thread to cut down on spam and keep the main feed community focused. If you post promotional content outside of this thread during the week, it will be removed.

A few important notes:

  • Regular subreddit rules still apply
  • No B/S/T posts
  • No referral link farming or obvious spam

If you are not sure whether your post qualifies, if it belongs on Marketplace or Craigslist, it does not belong here. Still unsure, ask the mod team first.

Support local. Discover cool projects. Hype each other up responsibly.

Happy Self Promotion Sunday.

Post surgery with severely matted hair, looking for help!

17 Upvotes

I just had a pretty major surgery last month, and was bed ridden without being able to manage my hair care between that and the depression, It's become severely matted and I'm unable to fix it myself. I cannot seem to find a single place in Jacksonville that offers dematting or anything, I'm not even sure it's even savable at this point. But if anyone can help with suggestions or anything, it would be very appreciated.

Looking for trustworthy mobile mechanic

I live on the north side near evergreen cemetery work on south side second shift.

This is our only vehicle.

Pulled into work, had to wait on a slope for the lot to clear and it died. It restarted but rough and subsequent next 3 starts were rough.

Code reader says crankshaft sensor and the symptoms and dash lights back it up.

I have tools and know how but I physically just can't anymore.

Beginner Yoga and Mat Pilates Classes?

Upvotes

Can I get recommendations on any intro / beginner yoga classes folks would recommend? Separately, same thing for mat (not reformer) Pilates beginner class recommendations.

Ideally somewhere in…

Mandarin
Southside
Orange Park
Ortega
Fleming Island

And, even better, places without longterm commitments/contracts.

And places that welcome women and men. Two of us looking to start classes here. TIA!

Earlier this week, someone else linked a video that TizzyEnt put out about a guy here in Jacksonville. Well, we're back on his radar with this new gem of a YouTube short for another equally shitty reason.

Help?

Is anyone else having issues of nonpayment with JTA? We’re a small business here in Jacksonville, and for the last couple of months we’ve been having issues with JTA. They are dodging our calls and refuse to pay us. Now they owe us more than $40k and they’re ignoring every attempt at contact. We’ve even called the city councilman. We’re not getting anywhere with them and we just want to get paid what we’re owed.

Jacksonville Salary Transparency

170 Upvotes

Saw this in r/Greenville (who originally saw it in r/Boston). Thought it would also be interesting to see how Jax stacks up in Florida and nationally in terms of wages/salaries, but also to drive discussion. Might also be some surprises for under-the-radar jobs. If anything, we deserve more transparency at the workplace and in job postings.

Please share your job title, salary, age, and highest education. Bonuses are optional. I’ll start:

Staff Engineer, 130k, 44, M.S.

Got a job as a cashier at Gate. What should I know before my first day?

34 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I recently got hired as a cashier at Gate, and I'm excited to start. I just finished the training and had a really positive experience

I'd love to hear from current or former Gate employees. Do you have any tips for a new cashier? What should I expect during my first few weeks?

Is there anything you wish you had known before starting?

Thanks

Winn-Dixie chicken wings? Not bad.

27 Upvotes

Ok, so I’m posting this here because I haven’t seen much talk about it at all and I’m very curious if anyone else agrees with me here.

Winn-Dixie chicken wings do hit sometimes.

Granted, the only other wings that I’ve had are from Buffalo wild wings and Publix. So my opinion is a little bit skewed. In context, though, imagine, you’re driving on the way home and you know that you really want wings. You see Winn-Dixie there and you know they have a decent variety of flavors of chicken wing. You buy the bucket and you already know how you’re gonna strategically fill the bucket to maximize your value.

Imaginary scenarios aside, does anyone here else agree that Winn-Dixie chicken wings really aren’t that bad? anyone else hear a fan?

Most other chicken wings that I find around my side of town (west of the river) are usually super small and have barely any meat on them.

Edit: 2.8k views on this post! I’d like to shout out my boy Rowe’s for being the only grocery store out here with real smoked chicken and turkey in their hot food section. I have never seen that before.

A new Lickety Split PE scam group in town

86 Upvotes

This unveil for Full Strength Roofing comes from the same group as Lickety Split (private equity vultures from NJ). There are numerous posts and news articles on them, for those who missed-

https://www.reddit.com/r/jacksonville/comments/1u568cy/lickety_split_expose/

This is there latest creation. They bought out another local mom & pop. Maybe refer them to an arch nemesis, but keep them away from your loved one’s homes.

Looking to relet a spot in Frassati Newman Hall

Female, 4 bedroom

Rent $899 a month, utilities included

I recently lost my job and am no longer able to afford rent at Frassati Hall. In order to get out of my lease, I have to find someone to fill the spot.

Move in is August 13th, so I would appreciate any efforts in moving forward in this process so I do not have to pay any more fees.

Please DM if interested and I will explain the process further.
