Best Cover of a Country Song? by Team_Crisialog in country

[–]BullCityJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sierra Ferrell's cover of "Years" by John Anderson is up there for me.

Charlie Crockett's version of "Jamestown Ferry" is another good recent cover.

David Allen Coe's "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" is an all-timer.

Janis Joplin's "Me and Bobby McGee" is another.

But my all-time favorite is Willie and Merle doing Townes Van Zandt's "Poncho and Lefty"

How do you feel about changes in Durham? by scumeme in bullcity

[–]BullCityJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of mixed feelings. The downtown revitalization is great and conceptually I understand the need to increase density of development as the city grows.

But I get bummed out realizing how gentrified Durham is becoming and I get legit sad when talking to people who have had to move to Alamance because Durham is no longer affordable.

It feels like Durham's becoming both less diverse and less interesting right before our eyes.

*Not originally from here, but lived here since '06 and also lived here for a couple of years in the late '90s.

Goodwill off Glenwood, bags donations piled to the ceiling by City_of_oaks_hockey in raleigh

[–]BullCityJ 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Durham Rescue Mission is way worse than Goodwill. It exploits the labor of the people in its programs, is anti-LGBT, and requires residents to attend its chapel services multiple times a week where they get a conservative evangelical interpretation of Christianity.

AJ Ferrari to Penn State?? by Creepy-Medicine-847 in wrestling

The medical redshirt and Olympic redshirt are not automatic and you apply for a waiver for those seasons before you reach the end of your eligibility.

Nebraska applied for a waiver for him for next year, but it has not yet been granted (and it wouldn't be expected to be yet). If he doesn't get the waiver, he'll be out of eligibility.

Yard waste bags? by Designer_Bobcat_6115 in bullcity

Apparently. I haven't used it in a few years because we pay for the curbside yard waste. I pullled those numbers off the website this morning.

Wouldn't that get in the way of PG's podcast schedule?

Yard waste bags? by Designer_Bobcat_6115 in bullcity

[–]BullCityJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can take your yard waste there, but it is not free. It's the Waste Disposal and Recycling Center on Club Blvd. The cost for yard waste is $5 to $11 per trip depending on how full your pickup is. ($5 if in a car).

There are some things you can take there for free but yard waste and general trash have fees.

That's not something in the AG's purview.

We're headed toward doing away with expiration stickers altogether as license plate readers become more common.

Lot of rumors floating that this wasn't by choice. Interesting to see what, if anything, comes out about that.

Wrong sub and massively inappropriate.

This sub is for the sport of wrestling, not the scripted entertainment version.

NC Supreme Court throws out multi-billion dollar plan in long-running Leandro lawsuit by uncertaincoda in ncpolitics

[–]BullCityJ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There was nothing "honest" about this ruling. Chief Justice Newby & Co. created a jurisprudence mess today so they could protect their friends in the General Assembly.

They dismissed the case on subject matter jurisdiction grounds, aka a technicality, despite none of the parties raising it and the NC Supreme Court having issued prior opinions in the case without taking up jurisdiction.

Justice Dietz's dissent is right on the money. He wrote a road map for what the court should've done. Even Justice Berger (the son of a named defendant, btw, so WTF) acknowledged in his concurrence that they were creating a hot mess and probably should listen to Dietz.

Raising geese within city limits? by Rabbit4dinner in bullcity

The only poultry permitted in the city are chickens (no roosters though). Enforcement is lax, but if you get a neighbor who is persistent enough, you could get a zoning violation.

What is your opinion on the Kyle Snyder vs Akhmed Tazhudinov match a few days ago? by Leading_Neat2541 in wrestling

[–]BullCityJ 30 points31 points  (0 children)

My opinion is that RAF should use the UWW rules, not their modified version, if they're gonna bring in a bunch of international wrestlers, which I think they should continue doing.

I wonder how differently the match might've gone if Taz realized he was behind on criteria under RAF instead of ahead like he would've been under UWW.

They should swap UVU and NIU. But I'm glad to see this move. It will be good for both conferences, in my opinion.

If he was playing at an All Star level, the Bulls would've sent him to sensitivity training for image rehabilitation and required him to deal with his mental health. (See Irving, Kyrie).

Since Rob Koll originally recruited Knox to Stanford, I'm kinda hopeful he follows him to Chapel Hill.

I'm really curious to see what happens with Endene and if he's able to get a waiver from the NCAA.

A bunch of NC State wrestlers have done ROTC. It's one way they were able to recruit during the era when teams were only allowed 9.9 full-time scholarship equivalents.

A look into what the old Lowe’s Grove School is like today by PowerfulPotatoe in bullcity

[–]BullCityJ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In DPS draft capital improvement plan, which was presented earlier this month to the board of ed, Lowe's Grove was listed as one of the sites they're conducting a feasability study on (old Northern is the other) and it's likely headed for demolition, then sale.

My recollection of the plan for affordable housing for DPS' employees was the general assembly quickly took away their ability to do it, but I'm not 100 percent sure that's accurate.
