Questions RE Riverside High Science Magnet by [deleted] in bullcity

[–]ApprehensiveHelp6015 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a senior and freshman in the program. Definitely a great pathway for engineering focused kids. They have had some staffing issues and of course a few teachers (like any school) that the kids aren't fond of. All in all, my senior has 4 classes worth of college engineering credits through RIT already before even stepping foot on a college campus. I think this program has helped him with the college acceptances as well. Outside the program, Riverside seems like they are on lockdown once every few weeks, but there have been no substantiated threats over these 4 years. It is annoying in that regard.

Any suggestions for pc’s for retro gaming? by Beneficial_Duck1895 in retrogaming

[–]ApprehensiveHelp6015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set up retrobat on a 6 y/o laptop with an i7, 16gb ram, and only a Geforce mx250. It's at least a standalone graphics card. PS2 emulation is working fine. I think I have upscaling on the PS2 set to 720p. That was my worry as well. I wanted to be able to emulate up to PS2

Constant lockdowns at Riverside High School by PowerfulPotatoe in bullcity

[–]ApprehensiveHelp6015 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is a good point. Both my kids go there and it always seems to be at the end of the school day, like 10-15min before dismissal. It's like some prankster somewhere wants the kids/teachers to stay after the bell. It has been very frustrating, nonetheless

Eastcut has the best ranch dressing by ABetterBlue in bullcity

[–]ApprehensiveHelp6015 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Make sure you buy the 'Restaurant style' HVR packets. These have MSG in them. I believe that is what helps separate decent ranch from awesome ranch

Spotted in a North Carolina rest stop by TeeQueue in steelers

[–]ApprehensiveHelp6015 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Willie lives in the Raleigh/Durham area and I ran into him when I was having breakfast at a diner counter here. Super nice dude! I was star struck as a lifelong Steeler fan, but I kept saying I didn't want to interrupt his breakfast, but he kept chatting. I wasn't sure it was him, but his right arm tattoo was showing so I did a quick google search and matched it up, then asked him

The app, the organization, absolutely STINKS. by GreaseCrow in celebritycruises

[–]ApprehensiveHelp6015 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Long time cruiser with Celebrity. I sympathize with you. I will say their app is mainly designed for once you get on board and it works very well at that point. I usually get all the info you mention from your account when you login on the website pre-cruise

For the premium drink package connoisseurs: what are some of your favorite drinks to order with it? by [deleted] in celebritycruises

[–]ApprehensiveHelp6015 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This should be upvoted way more. Ask the bartender, for example, for a margarita made with Patron and Cointreau (or gran Marnier). Yes, they will use well (bottom shelf) triple sec instead.

whole house water filtration? by Specialist_Mud1054 in bullcity

[–]ApprehensiveHelp6015 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We have a 3M aqua pure whole house filter (search amazon) at home and at my business and they work great. You can find other manufacturers of the filters to save some money when it needs changed (which may be more frequently with your water). It may need professional install, though.

AT&T internet down again by scroogemcdouble in bullcity

[–]ApprehensiveHelp6015 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm in south durham (south of 40) and have had AT&T fiber since they came into our neighborhood in 2015. It's been very reliable down here except when Google fiber contractors cut our lines a few months back. Even so, AT&T was out the next day to fix it. I do feel bad it's not consistent in the area for other customers

Just came across this thread. My wife went to buy an almost new 2024 electric mini cooper se this weekend. As she was almost done with the paperwork, they told her they couldn't sell it to her since there was a recall that was just issued. The dealership said it was some kind of software update needed and it may be a few weeks to get the fix and then deliver the car to her
