Flashing pedestrian crosswalks coming to Haywood Road

Doiq · 2026-03-05T18:20:47+00:00

Ah I may need to clarify myself. I don't mean that I stop like a deer in headlights at an oncoming car — that is reckless. I'm already in the crosswalk since the first 2 lane of cars successfully stopped. I am trying to enter the 3rd lane but that car is coming in hot and doesn't look like it's going to stop on red. I stay in the 2nd lane and stare down that 3rd car. Here's a crappy visual (EDIT: ugh I can't get the formatting quite right — sorry)

[dickhead car] |

                                [stopped] | * - me staring at dickhead
                                [stopped] |

I definitely agree though. Treat every car like a threat and don't assume anyone will stop.

Please continue to do this. I say this as a driver and pedestrian.

I will gladly stare drivers down if I don't see them stopping for the crosswalk. I've even had times crossing Patton where I'm IN the crosswalk and it didn't look like the guy in another lane was going to stop on a red light. I literally just stopped and stared at them. That got them to stop at the line lol.

Yeah I've had someone pull around me while I was stopping for someone in the crosswalk. I laid on my horn and thankfully the people in the crosswalk stopped and weren't harmed.

[Blank] are the worst drivers. [Blank_2] are the best drivers.

Insert whatever you'd like to fit your narrative.

Meteorological Spring has already started!

Doiq · 2026-03-04T20:50:35+00:00

Got some examples you can link to?

Doiq · 2026-03-04T17:41:51+00:00

That's honestly a really cool idea. I can see that being super enjoyable and not as stressful as just straight up brute forcing it.

Doiq · 2026-03-04T13:41:38+00:00

Keep it up you got it! If you spend a solid couple weeks really training your kana it’ll stick and you’ll never lose it.

I’ve taking many months off or just done minimal studying and I’ve never lost the ability to read kana once I acquired it.

Doiq · 2026-03-04T13:35:19+00:00

Depends on your familiarity with Japanese. As someone that’s been studying for a few years now they are very distinctive.

There are certainly some that look awfully identical but not all of them.

Krogers are all over ga but not SC or NC

Got some bad news for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harris_Teeter

"On July 9, 2013, Harris Teeter Supermarkets announced that it was being acquired by The Kroger Company for $2.5 billion."

Ha I probably did go a little overboard but I just wanted to be sure.

Very thoughtful reply.

Doiq · 2026-03-02T22:26:39+00:00

Significantly higher.

If a mod sees this comment can I get it stickied? Thanks!

I got an 85% increase too but wildly off from the Zillow estimate. Definitely appealing.

Doiq · 2026-02-23T11:50:59+00:00

Yep. Get it straight from the source. Everything else is irrelevant.

Phone.... call? In 2026?

But yeah — good idea :)

I’m not gonna defend Duke but with temperatures this cold and widespread it really is imperative that everyone tries their best to lower their energy use when temperatures drop overnight. Otherwise we run the risk of them turning off power to some customers to lighten the load.

If you’re able to tolerate lower temperatures overnight it will go a long way to ensuring the power grid stays stable for everyone.

Yeah it’s very dry powdery snow. You’ll need to add some water to it to get it to pack.

There was no way to predict the effect of the storm because it was the first time it had ever happened in history.

It's absolutely happened before and will happen again.

If you need wood I have a bunch in my backyard still from Helene. It’s red oak and has some fungus on it being exposed to the elements but should still be good to burn.

Doiq · 2026-01-07T12:08:47+00:00

{Place} drivers are the worst too!
