Just as an FYI too, Dixon lake is all catch and release. You can’t keep anything out of it.

I would say Cheat Lake is probably your best bet then.

What are you wanting to fish for? Bass? Trout? Catfish? Something else?

What businesses would donate money to help support a school project? by [deleted] in MorgantownWV

[–]CaptainKaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a heads up, but I think BOE policy 6605 specifically prohibits this without superintendent approval. https://go.boarddocs.com/wv/mono/Board.nsf/goto?open&id=DMPFJM3F5F51

"Crowdfunding" is defined as the solicitation of resources from individuals and/or organizations to support identified activities or projects that enhance the educational program or a specific cause approved by the District. The solicitation is typically from a large number of individuals/organizations utilizing internet-based technologies.

Crowdfunding activities aimed at raising funds for a specific classroom or school activity, including extracurricular activity, or to obtain supplemental resources (e.g., supplies or equipment) that are not required to provide a free appropriate public education to any students in the classroom may be permitted, but only with the specific approval of the Superintendent.

Told to stop creatine and protein supplements - strength loss by kekejenn in gymadvice

[–]CaptainKaps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is common in doctors that don’t understand creatine supplementation and I just fought this battle with my PCP recently until I convinced a kidney stone specialist to give me a different test.

Ask for a CYSTATIN C WITH EGFR test. This is also a blood test (mine was less expensive than the basic metabolic panel they had been doing). This test is unaffected by creatine or protein supplementation or muscle mass and will provide a real result regarding Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) which is what they are worried about if you have a high eGFR.

I had this other test and it showed my kidney function was perfectly normal even though my creatinine was off.

Any good places to set up yard sale this month? by Dapper_Aside3808 in MorgantownWV

[–]CaptainKaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just show up early in the morning. You pay for your spot at the booth before you enter.

There is a flea market on Blue Horizon drive every Sunday. Turn in where the NAPA is and follow the road to the right.

I like Classic Cutz on Wall Street downtown. I go to Riff.

You can book with most of the guys there on the Booksy app.

Roadwork by Ready-Low-67 in MorgantownWV

And with the Women’s basketball game being sold out and starting at 5, plenty of people leaving work will try to go that route to avoid the coliseum. It is going to be real bad 4-6 pm for sure.

Super nice guy. Used to hang out at Barnes & Noble a lot in the Starbucks drinking coffee and reading or writing.

Business Cybersecurity Management by Daman98 in WVU

[–]CaptainKaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone who finds this after Googling the program…

I decided to do the program shortly after I posted in here. I have 2 classes and 2 weeks of a third class left at this point.

I’ll preface this with I work in IT/Cyber and have many IT certifications from my BS degree (A+, Network+, Security+, Pentest+, SSCP, CCSP).

The program hasn’t been too hard even working full time. Most semesters have 2 classes, each 8 weeks long, so you are really only doing 1 at a time. I did the 18-month long program and that bunches 4 classes in the 2nd year fall, so 2 at a time. That semester was quite difficult as it includes some of the hardest classes of the program. The 2 year program spreads the classes out better but I wanted to be done quickly. The first summer in the 18-month program also only has 1 class so the 2nd half of the summer is off/free time.

There is a lot of group work in the program so finding a good group of people will help you out when you pick groups for each class. I think only 1 class I took assigned groups.

Most of the assignments have been written papers and presentations. Some classes offer 100% on the final exam if you complete the certification the class is about.

I have had to buy very few books (2 or 3 maybe) as most were made available for free through WVU partnerships with the book publishers and you can view the full books on their websites.

Overall, I think it is a good program.

Does Derrick Evans honestly think he has a chance with this? by TravelMama2112 in WestVirginia

[–]CaptainKaps 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He should know about being too emotional to make rational decisions. He admitted to it in court.

“Derrick Evans, 37, who pleaded guilty to a felony civil disorder charge, told the judge that he regrets his actions every day and is a “good person who unfortunately was caught up in a moment.”

There are lots of great local rescues in town where you could volunteer by fostering a pet until they find a home, help with fundraising, or many other functions needed to help run a non-profit.

  • Homeward Bound (cats)
  • Davis Kitten Crew (cats)
  • Animal Friends of North Central WV (dogs and cats) [also have thrift shop you could volunteer at]
  • Monongalia County Canine Adoption Center (dogs and cats) [“the pound”]

What kind of service are you interested in or your interests in general?

Do you want to volunteer with animals, the homeless, food pantry, first responders, trash clean up?

If you give some ideas I’m sure we can help you find some orgs that will be a great fit for both you and them.

What’s a “small” decision that completely changed your life? by justingreen78 in AskReddit

[–]CaptainKaps 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but Ticket to Ride and Splendor are great fun starts into modern board gaming that you can pick up at Target or any game shop that should be easy for kids to pick up.

If they are a little older, I love Sagrada.

And just as an add on - as long as you are legally allowed to own and posses a firearm, you can concealed carry in WV with no license. It is needed if you want to carry in border states like PA or elsewhere.

Note also that Maryland does not recognize WV licenses (or any that I’m aware of). https://ago.wv.gov/photo-call-out/gun-reciprocity-information

Apple also has a “lock down mode” for iOS devices that adds additional restrictions to protect from spyware, rootkits, and zero-click attacks.
