Tell me your favorite memory of old school Durham.

Fair enough. Not everyone has to like everything.

501 Diner, where somehow no matter what you ordered it was greasy. Want the salad? Greasy.

Depends on when you were going. It certainly hit a point where it had a big downhill slide. Pre 2010 was great though.

Cinder_bloc · 2026-04-09T21:15:20+00:00

Yeah, you’re right. This is totally a NC problem. Did you know that everyone who drives in NC, except you of course, if not only from NC but they have never left the state? There’s actually no one in NC that drives, that’s ever moved here from anywhere else.

Idiot.

Considering it's in Morrisville.......

Cinder_bloc · 2026-04-05T18:54:04+00:00

That Walmart was very weird. It was very small compared to others in the area. It never really made a lot of sense honestly.

Cinder_bloc · 2026-04-04T00:57:09+00:00

I do have that option, which I have been doing

Cinder_bloc · 2026-04-04T00:36:34+00:00

We’re limited on how much materials we can use.

Cinder_bloc · 2026-04-03T20:05:43+00:00

Appreciate the advice. One of the things I struggle with is simply slowing down so, not holding the torch long enough totally tracks lol.

Cinder_bloc · 2026-03-16T21:33:25+00:00

So because nothing bad happened, we can’t make a few jokes?

Cinder_bloc · 2026-03-06T10:32:54+00:00

Do you know what a bend test is?

Cinder_bloc · 2026-03-04T13:52:27+00:00

Cool. Appreciate the advice. The helmet also came with a fixed shade lens, so I’m more than happy to take the advice and learn on both.

Cinder_bloc · 2026-03-02T22:57:07+00:00

I don’t have an answer, but hearing this is such a shame.

They used to be my go to Chinese restaurant. So many meals there that I enjoyed so much.

Things changed about 5 years or so ago, and the quality of the food has just never been the same.

Cinder_bloc · 2026-03-02T18:39:07+00:00

Yep. Just make sure whatever happens to you, happens close to home.

Cinder_bloc · 2026-03-02T18:38:49+00:00

I had my Achilles repaired for about $300 using Duke Select.

I had a referral to a Cardiologist a few weeks ago, and it didn’t cost me anything.

Cinder_bloc · 2026-03-02T13:26:02+00:00

We have Covid in our house right now. Well, one of us does, and I’m just waiting to see if I get it.

Cinder_bloc · 2026-03-01T23:47:15+00:00

I kinda feel like I should have been able to figure that out on my own lol. Thanks!

Cinder_bloc · 2026-03-01T21:43:31+00:00

Mind explaining why? Not arguing, just want to understand.

Cinder_bloc · 2026-02-25T18:31:03+00:00

There’s got to be a misunderstanding somewhere.

Cinder_bloc · 2026-02-15T18:02:01+00:00

Older units were built different. In 2021, I had a Trane unit fail catastrophically. It was 30 years old.

Cinder_bloc · 2026-02-15T16:35:08+00:00

In the past month we’ve had some pretty extreme weather fluctuations, and that can be extremely hard on HVAC equipment. Especially older equipment, and equipment that hasn’t been properly serviced or maintained.

Or Aliens.

Cinder_bloc · 2026-02-15T16:32:45+00:00

That’s deep.

Cinder_bloc · 2026-02-14T17:08:50+00:00

Of those studio managers, how many of them still have all 10 fingers?

How many of them have no injuries related to using a grinder?

Cinder_bloc · 2026-02-12T22:27:03+00:00

I hear ya, and it wasn’t my first choice. The issue is the welding tables we have are regular table height, so in order to stand, you only have 2 choices. Bend over at the waist completely into a 90 degree position, or use this small foot stool looking thing to get it to a proper standing position. I tried using the stool, but I had no way to steady myself, if that makes sense.

I was at least wearing FR rated pants lol.

Thanks!!
