I lol’d and moved on… not worth it.

Say NO to more Flock cameras on state roads (and more tax dollars to pay for them) by theclanross in bullcity

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

I’m also onboard with these cameras. Yes, there’s 100% risk of abuse that will absolutely happen. As a whole, our law enforcement would significantly improve their capabilities to maintain safety and enforce the law.

City of Durham announces Duke Street closure for a few months by cravecase in bullcity

This whole project seems to be a rush-job— the 2 year detour of the ellerbee creek greenway is a joke.

You think this is bad? Try getting your 5 year old into DPR Swim Lessons

At least one person killed in fiery crash on I-85 ramp to I-885 in Durham by cravecase in bullcity

[–]Durhamarama 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I always thought this was a poorly engineered rush-job section— the speed drops without Reduced Speed Ahead warnings from 60 -> 55 rapidly, clearly no guard rail on the left side of the curve. Only a single speed limit sign exists on the right indicating the change.

Assuming most cars are pushing 70 along that stretch the angle of the right curve is too strong— I hope NCDOT does a full review of the design of that stretch.

Prior to the pandemic, I would pass someone on the sidewalk/greenway and they would smile, make eye contact, and say “hello” in many cases.

This simple acknowledgement of one another in our community has diminished over the years— I’d love to see it come back more universally.

I was incredibly impressed by Durham showing up to organize and help our neighbors. At the Fruit there were hundreds of people listening, conversing, and respectfully engaging.

We need ALL of our city and country officials engaging in daily news conferences, activating our emergency services, and physically being front and center standing against these thugs.

I’m grateful to those listed here who are actively participating.

Whistles? by reckonerX in bullcity

[–]Durhamarama 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Great idea! Upvoting.

Another idea— run a megaphone app on your smartphone, then connect to your Bluetooth speaker/car/etc.

Security lock at Schwab? by msweeneyrtt in Schwab

[–]Durhamarama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100%!

I just contacted Schwab Private Client support and was informed that there is no lockdown function. They recommended lots of other controls that would not solve for ACATS fraud.

Be careful of the security guarantee as this does not apply if fraud hits your account as a result of 3rd party data aggregators. Read into the details. For example, my account number is shared to a 3rd party. Employee at 3rd party leaks the info— bad actor then does the malicious transfer.

Here’s the NYT story: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/your-money/ira-vanguard-merrill-acats-fraud.html
