How is the 68 cents at the restaurant supply cheaper than the 68 cents at Wal-Mart aside from the fact that it keeps you out of WM?

That’s too bad. I remember watching her on Exteme4x4 and thinking she might be perfect. At least she died going after something she was passionate about.

This is absolutely untrue of Raleigh/Durham, I assume it’s because of all the northerners here. If there is any trace of liquid water coming from the sky, you must slow down to 25. Bonus points if you move all the way over to the left and use your hazard lights at 25. OTOH, if there is snow on the ground and

My biggest ones are:

The coolest neighborhood in Raleigh is Durham because there is nothing cool about Raleigh. You know how some towns and cities keep their past even after they have moved along? Like Pittsburgh is still a steel town even though there aren’t (?) any steel mills left. Raleigh is a city whose past is completely built on

First, and I’m sorry to be that guy, you mean “curfew reins” and not “curfew reigns.” The first are the leather straps used to guide a horse, the second, the ruling period of a sovereign.

I didn’t read the whole article because all of my children are grown but please do what the title says. I distinctly remember the day when I was about 9 that my father said to me “It doesn’t matter what you do as long as you’re the best at it” I was always extremely driven and perfectionist by nature. I’m not sure

Racist or not, I would love to see more places ban this stupid shit. I work with a guy that thinks its the heighth of comedy to get you to look at his hand so he does it all the time. Dumbass

That’s probably true for house sound guys but I mostly know touring audio people who spend one or 2 nights in a venue. They don’t have time or interest in learning the nuances of a particular venue so they’re mixing for where they are. Which is why at a concert (when I’m not with my gf who insists on being up front in

Came to say the same thing. While I’m not an audio guy I know quite a few. He’s mixing for where he’s standing not someplace else

Anybody that thinks In-n-Out’s fries suck automatically loses any cred with me. In-n-Out has the only fast food fries that actually taste like potatoes. 

Remind me why I care if I’m being judged by a Starbuck’s barista?

The problem with this is that you’re expecting other people to pay your server for you. Tipping is classist bullshit and restaurants should be required to pay their people a living wage and tipping should go away but until it does your tip pays your server for the time you are there. There are many shitty employees

Apropos of nothing, every time I hear “Do less” I think of the surfboard lesson scene from “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.” Paul Rudd absolutely nailed so many surfboarders I’ve know in the past.

Here, I’ll fix that headline for you: North Carolina is Still a Total Shitshow. You’re welcome

Or, you know, the heady old days when a lunatic with the IQ of a chimp wasn’t the leader of the free world. Maybe, if we wait a little while, it can be about the heady old days when the world wasn’t a nuclear wasteland.

As far as I’m concerned the most irritating possible thing (that I see constantly on CL) is “runs great but needs <part or system that is the very definition of not running great>“ ie. Runs great but needs transmission, Runs great but needs head gasket. I never go and look at them but they are a huge waste of time.

I’ve always thought the whole pay it forward thing was stupid. Anybody that has the money to eat out (unless you’re at a McDonald’s or some place with a dollar menu) doesn’t need your gift. Instead, I’ll take the free thing and donate the money I saved on my order to a local food bank or homeless shelter. The person

Nah. His mother’s Mexican and his father’s Puerto Rican.

Tessub or Subala, whichever you call would be the best thing to ever happen. One of the few ways Subaru’s light off-roading capabilities could get better is giving VDC 2 or 4 high powered electric motors to take control of
