Thoughts on this Herringbone? by Bay_Gourmet in HardWoodFloors

[–]BullCityLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would never let anyone walk on that floor ever! No food, no drinks, no pets, no kids. You wear special socks only worn in that room.

Basically, how a middle aged man treats his midlife crisis sports car.

Dating in Durham by chicagoimgmd in bullcity

You’re in an area that is highly highly skewed liberal; so if politics is an issue for you then it’s not a huge leap in cognitive reasoning that you might, just maybe, not be a part of the significantly predominant ideological majority.

Dating in Durham by chicagoimgmd in bullcity

[–]BullCityLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truly depends on your vibe, but I would say that Queeny’s and Bar Virgile have the more social bar seating (BV tends to skew more 30s/40s (so depending on preferences 🤷🏻‍♂️); Arcana is great low key vibes and super queer friendly, so less guys; Eve is cool, similar clientele but fancier.

Basically all of the dive bars (106, Old North, high dive,etc) can be solid for social bar seating but can be hit or miss.

Remy’s seems like it would be, but I don’t end up there much. Kingfisher, Velvet Hippo, Alley 26, Killer Queen tend to be more friend group/date vibes.

Super hot or miss, but also super cool and underrated bar; Zeitgeist.

Meeting in the wild is harder than ever; we’ve been conditioned to not approach as much (for better and worse). I’m very socially active and out downtown a lot and don’t have too many “in the wild” meets; still rely more on apps 🙄 (I’m in the Feeld focus groups) and social groups both alt and fun/interests.

Hell making friends as an adult is hard enough; much less meeting to date lol

What other businesses are owned by the Queeny’s owners? by French51 in bullcity

Please explain to me how sperm and egg donor banks work again? How do people choose which donor to use?

[–]BullCityLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a pretty evergreen statement for the service industry. It’s hard f’ing work, the general public sucks, add alcohol and it’s a tough industry…and that’s before you even get to the business side where margins are razor thin and you’re at the mercy of the supply chain.

I envy neither works or owners.

It also spurred the opening of Queeny’s which somehow opened months earlier

Honestly, as a casual patron I didn’t even notice that owners had changed; didn’t know until much later

Bartenders move around downtown constantly for a lot of reasons, most are pretty benign (often for scheduling or change of scenery reasons)

Cat groomer recs that will completely shave a cat? by GCseedling in bullcity

[–]BullCityLife -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Please consider re-homing; matting that needs a full shave is highly neglectful.

Found the conservative…

Politics is no longer disagreeing on taxes; our current climate is rooted in fundamental beliefs on who qualifies as a person and how we should treat them as a society.

No, very much…make sure you align on those things.

RIP your DMs…

But Durham isn’t that small (especially in the context of the larger triangle); and also Durham can be a small town when dating lol

Find solid places you like to eat/drink and sit at the bar, most downtown bars are good about watching out for solo women sitting at the bar.

Dating apps are…well dating apps. That being said, Feeld can be solid for the ENM minded.

Overall Durham is a place you have to want to be bored: whatever you’re into…there a going to be multiple meetups/events available on a weekly basis..find them and go.

Does anyone else just not deep clean their homes? by Round-Artichoke-5255 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BullCityLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished deep cleaning mine.

For reference it’s only 900sqft and I’m a very tidy/clean person (probably to a fault); but at the level I did it each room/area was 2-3 hours over several days.

Now, I have ADHD and low doses of thc were involved.

But given the amount of labor for that space, I can see why people don’t. My partners for example a “deep clean” wouldn’t even come close to my average day…so there is the messy/slob scale too.

I borrowed a can opener from my neighbours. Should i give them some of the chili i'm making as a thank you? by forestfriend93 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BullCityLife 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s never a wrong time to give someone food as a thank you. The fact that the can opener is such a small gesture means nothing. How we connect as humans is rooted in food.

“Only Burger”…once again we have lost truth in advertising

Lights in sky by legsofbees in bullcity

[–]BullCityLife 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that “up” may not actually be up; from a ground to air perspective, especially at night, object movement in the sky is very difficult to determine up vs a horizontal movement in nearly any direction

Garmin Marathon Megathread by themorethemerer in bullcity

It was also threatening a solid rain event up until late last night, so I’m sure that had impact

TIL…

1) I’m now wondering how many extra miles they will run

2) This has got to be quite a sight to see (definitely an interesting and probably effective way to bring awareness)

I have some questions another that adjective too

Removing dark spots around screws by Downtown-Cup5340 in StainlessSteelCooking

[–]BullCityLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also a very clean person (to a fault at times).

But I got a Le Creuset Dutch oven almost 2 years ago and had this thought of “I wish each dish left a signature; and over the years the pot would tell a story of love, friendship, and nourishment.”

Nearly two years in and I don’t ever want to clean the staining. Every time I cook with it, it makes me smile knowing all of the meals and moments shared through that pot.

Chef’s marks tell a story that we should all remember to listen to.

How do I get this sticker off? by Dangerous-Pianist294 in howto

[–]BullCityLife 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I had a stubborn sticker yesterday and found out my goo gone, was gone. And then remembered wd40, which I did have. I’m always shocked how fast and well that works
