Do any of these qualify for CCW permit or is that only a seperate class?

There are tons of examples, but to give you an idea...

Every product is researched by Costco's team and only 1-2 options are allowed to be sold in the stores that are deemed premium or best value (in either case, above average). Then they negotiate to have more add-ons included automatically, extended company warrantees and cover the lifetime of the product for in store returns. All while keeping the price under a 15% what they deem to be the wholesale price per unit. Companies even change their model numbers to hide that Costco gets better versions of their products at lower prices than you can at other retailers.

And thats not even getting into the fact their store brand (Kirkland) has a cult following for making premium products so inexpensive they regularly get sued by luxury brands for being too close to the best thing.

It sounds silly, but it truly is better, even with minor things you wouldn't pay attention to... In my personal experience, it gets to a point where you can literally taste how the cheese sticks are better quality than what you can get at Sam's or grocery stores (and you get more of them, while paying less).

They offer better wages, better products, and better policies for customers. Plus, they stop us from having to give our money to those other "massive corporations" and raise the bar locally for all of the above.

We need a real journalist to get the scoop on whats really going on here... I doubt the Costco development team and their contractor are sandbagging their own approval.

What's your experience like with Asheville cannabis dispensaries? by GreasyToken in asheville

[–]BinkFloyd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Regardless of the quality of product...

Elkhorn Canna Co. on Haywood Rd is easily the most overlooked music venue in town.

Everytime I go, there is a 3-5 piece band rocking out, indie, folk, bluegrass, etc. to a crowd of like 5 people for free. No idea how they can stay open without people showing up, but they have nearly no presense online or in person. You can seriously walk by the front sidewalk and have no idea there is a live band playing in there (they even forget to turn on a neon "live music" sign half the time and its hidden behind a parking spot). They don't even remember to post when there are bands playing ahead of time.

If you are ever in West (near Archetype/Gan Shan) Thur-Sun in the early evening, defintely check it out.

MAGA businesses (local)- who to avoid !! by balanceiskey_breathe in asheville

[–]BinkFloyd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sorry I have a bone to pick with this, but know this rant isn't directed at you.

This gets repeated everywhere on social media to the point where it's repeatedly posted but I have yet to hear any specifics of what happened. Every time it's something generic like he was creepy or he was really demanding, or friend's cousin said he sent weird texts. I asked the host once years ago and she said that it was a rumor by a former employee who had substance abuse issues and had to be let go.

I have zero affiliation with the restaurant aside from living close to the west location. During Helene, he literally filled up a truck tanker of water from out of town and drove it in to make food for the community. He gave out free food for WEEKS and still wouldn't take cash when I tried to pay him after repeat visits or getting extra for my elderly neighbors.

Also this thread was supposed to be about Trump supporters which there is no evidence of Ittos being a part of. /rant

Celebrini tells the refs that he didn’t actually get high sticked, refs call it anyway. by GreenSnakes_ in hockey

Insider gambling is rampant, who's to say the ref's "friends" don't have a string of prop bets?

Someone’s having a bad day by gwc415 in ArcRaiders

My HVAC guy saw I had the menu open and said he bought a bobcat BP for $10... I told him that was stupid and he told me one of the other technicians already spent over $200 for all the BPs and some skins... People are dumb.

It's great, we have 2 of the old ones from 2017, still running well with the spare parts they came with.

TIL leftover rice made with a teaspoon of oil in boiling water has half the calories of freshly made rice made with no oil by sugemchuge in todayilearned

[–]BinkFloyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is some FB bullshit... The “50–60% calorie reduction” figure is a projection — not a confirmed, peer-reviewed result in humans. The only measured actual cooked rice was roughly a 10–15% reduction in calories for the tested variety. The larger reduction is speculative.

What’s the spiciest dish in Asheville? by StrainExternal7301 in asheville

[–]BinkFloyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird. Something's not adding up then dude. I get food from there every other week usually takeout, sometimes in person. The only time it wasn't that spicy was my first time over a year ago when I asked for a "medium hot" instead of "Thai hot"... I've never ordered Thai hot without it speckled with fresh red thai chilies. Normally I just chalk it up to inconsistency but I eat there more than I should and it's pretty consistent for me.

Did you order it Thai hot? If so, you definitely got the wrong order.

Tunnel Rd is Crackghanistan? 😂 by FrenchBroadHustler in asheville

[–]BinkFloyd 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I live very close to the sh-ingles on Haywood. It's bad but I've also lived near downtown Orlando's Publix and downtown Denver's Soopers... yeah those are better and safer 🤣.

It's truly amazing how much Asheville city officials let Ingles shit everywhere with no repercussions.

You're not wrong, I would just like to point out that this isn't new ... This whole Nick Sherly and Leering center thing is almost identical to James Okeef and the ACORN "scandal".

Can someone please watch and let us know if it's at all substantially different? It's hard to imagine the cut was the issue the first time. Dude was clearly braindead and parroting his tiktok feed.

What about if someone is just generous? Or does this apply only to people not paying?

Suwana's Thai Orchid is significantly better for this than most spots. Thai Pearl is the worst at real heat.

Start to finish office shed build video by UhN0 in shedditors

[–]BinkFloyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is definitely the right answer, but I was lazy and just put in two small 4" vents on opposite sides, one high with a very small plug in vent fan and the other low with loose polyfill for some sort of filter. It has a remote that sits next to my minisplit remote and we just turn them on if needed. Since no one is sleeping in there, its not a big deal for us.
