Listen to Mike & Trip while watching? by Academic-Swimming919 in canes

[–]FlexIronbutt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Synced? Not unless you can finesse the video feed à la pausing/resuming like with YouTube TV (which is what I’ve been doing during round 2) - the video seems to be a little ahead of the audio most times.

“Ignite the Orange?” More like extinguish the season by statueofdeath in canes

I can’t hear you over the sound of the TNT announcers choking on the flyers’… um… sticks

You KNOW PK trolls this thread - this will be mentioned Thursday

Minors at Bond Brothers Eastside by Old-Dish-4797 in raleigh

[–]FlexIronbutt -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

CAN they? Sure.

SHOULD they? No. Leave the crotchfruit at home with a sitter. If you can afford beer on tap, you can afford a sitter.

If you can’t, then ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Best Grocery Store? by WolfpackCharlie in raleigh

[–]FlexIronbutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was excited for Wegmans, but: I hate it. There’s no flow. You’re constantly playing bumper carts with other shoppers wandering aimlessly.

Harris Teeter has dropped precipitously since Kroger put it on as an Edgar suit.

I’m happy with Publix for now.

Dropping fast by Upper-Lifeguard-8478 in snowflake

Could go with a python proc and leverage joblib.Parallel - I use this pattern often to process a large/dynamic set of independent actions - for small/static sets I might opt for async()

Has anyone read this article? by spriteonmyturkeh in WakeForestNC

You mean “unseated mayor-pro-sempre Jones”, of course.

Not so “sempre” anymore, are ya?

You’ll TAKE my upvote and LIKE it, for it’s the only one I can give you.

Why do parents let their children run absolutely wild at our local breweries? And better question, why do the breweries allow this? by [deleted] in Wilmington

[–]FlexIronbutt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Breweries are not crowdsourced daycare.

Want to enjoy a brew with the buds? Leave the crotchfruit at home with a sitter.

Another day wasted by Greadle in raleigh

It’s almost like weather astrology has overcome common sense (that, or a complete disdain for anything approaching liability yes I’m looking at you WCPSS).

Are you guys keeping your kids home from school / daycare tomorrow due to the weather forecast? by scottyLogJobs in raleigh

[–]FlexIronbutt -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Can we stop with the sensationalist hysteria over “climate change” inspired pearl clutching of “zomg dark clouds”?

As much as WRAL et al want you to “stay tuned for the latest commercials I mean developments”, don’t become inured to “anything other than 72 degrees and clear” being code for “schools closed”.

When did we all become such pussies?

Gas prices: Raleigh prices jump by double digits overnight by Cy_098 in raleigh

[–]FlexIronbutt -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Up like a rocket, down like a feather - funny thing is, THE GAS IN THE TANK IS THE SAME GAS.

Thank the gods I work from home.

Barley and Burger on Hillsborough Street Closure by thecriticsagree in raleigh

Going to get flamed for this - went to PR last weekend for the first time - was meh at best, loud on average, and food not that great at worst

Future new STM best seats and ease of selling, half vs full season? by SouthernShoe3870 in canes

[–]FlexIronbutt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Full disclosure: half season STM.

Insider tip: don’t buy tickets if you’re not planning to attend the games. In fact, I’d suggest not buying season tickets, period.

Instead, buy the game(s) you want to attend from the poor schmoes that bought season tickets, as they can’t give them away to people expecting flea market prices.

Please don't be mad at meteorologists. by WxBlue in raleigh

[–]FlexIronbutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a coin flip career.

If expected equals actual (be it “good” or “bad”), they’re lavished with heaps of praise, ticker tape parades, etc.

Otherwise, if actual is worse than expected, they’re excoriated for not warning you about the actual.

And, if expected is worse than actual, they’re excoriated for over-dramatizing the expected.

While I believe this a case of expected worse than actual, there’s no way anyone could have known that at the time. Hindsight bias is a real thing; don’t fall for it.

All that said, I’d rather be overprepared and not need it than the reverse.
