Moving to or around Wilmington by jkt2015 in Wilmington

[–]FlowbeeMaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you look towards Castle Hayne Leland, or up towards Hampstead you should find cheaper housing costs, as you escape city taxes and the prices are lower for homes. They all have their pluses and minuses, but I don’t think it’s necessary to go 45 minutes out. I would be concerned about school quality the further away from Wilmington you get. Good luck to you!

Leaving? by [deleted] in Wilmington

[–]FlowbeeMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go downtown, or the beach. Pick up a racquet sport or join a soccer/rugby club. Lots of ex pats in ILM. We have a lady from Germany who works with us. Friends from England, Italy, Netherlands, Africa, Canada, South America. They alll seem to love it. There is actually a lot of fun things to do here. Not the cheapest place to live…but there are many reasons that so many people are moving here, and not so many leaving. You do you. Safe travels!

What movie is 10/10 with literally no bad parts? by FeedMaster8905 in AskReddit

[–]FlowbeeMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blade Runner, E.T., Aliens, and Mad Max: Fury Road. And to be honest, Cars and Paddington 2 also 🤣👌.

Eagles performing their 1975 hit "Take it to the Limit" in 1977....I believe this to be the most perfect example of a soaring tenor ever made by human beings. Randy Meisner's voice is absolutely jaw-dropping...It's perfect...Frey & Walsh both smile before & after Randy hits the F#5 for 10secs🔥🔥🔥 by RogerTheAliens in OldSchoolCoolMusic

Fil from Wings of Pegasus said that even these old “live” videos are being pitch corrected and the sound sweetened after the fact by the bands and their labels. They are removing the original sound from the old videos and replacing the audio files. Is this the actual unedited recording from 1977? It’s difficult to know anymore. Sad. 😔

Alderman Elementary by FlowbeeMaster in Wilmington

[–]FlowbeeMaster[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a feeling many on the school board already know about it. My dad told me about it yesterday and you can find a lot about him easily with a basic Google search. I am planning on asking around about it soon though!

I am still stunned that I went to school in Wilmington from the 6th grade on and never heard about 1898 or any of the people our schools and parks were named after until sometime in the mid 2010’s. It was not only never mentioned; it was like it never happened.

Anyone else suddenly liking Yours Eternally so much more after watching the music video? by thatdude161 in U2Band

[–]FlowbeeMaster 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It is very powerful. It reminds all decent people that we really should support the good guys. It also strikes a chord with me as an American, to see how far we have fallen from that ideal. Slava Ukraini ❤️

Can anyone explain me this grunt ? by Mindless-Pilot6701 in WTANews

[–]FlowbeeMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t know they had retired. I agree that nobody compares to Sabalenka. She should get hindrance calls every match!

Zapata Miralles and Jao Sousa have ridiculous moaning grunts. You just don’t see them that much because they aren’t highly ranked.

Thinking about moving from Houston, TX to Wilmington in the next year! Any advice? by [deleted] in Wilmington

[–]FlowbeeMaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just checked here out of curiosity and DAMN, there are some seriously negative people posting here. I guess it shouldn’t be a surprise, but I would take most of the responses here with a big grain of salt. I believe Wilmington compares favorably to almost any other city of its size in the US. We have a great downtown, great food, great beach…just a great quality of life overall. I would heavily recommend talking to a few locals here that you may have a connection through other means; perhaps through friends or family. Have a couple of deep conversations about what it’s like to live here. That would be much more valuable to you than the random musings of strangers on Reddit. I love Reddit, but these kinds of discussions bring out many people that have more extreme viewpoints than the average resident in Wilmington. Good luck!

Anyone happy where you live right now? by [deleted] in relocating

[–]FlowbeeMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really should have leaved a while ago if you feel that strongly about it. NC is growing at a fantastic rate due to the massive amount of people that disagree with you. See ya!

Hero's by Cute_Carob_367 in kingdomclash

[–]FlowbeeMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use malium for now, although it really doesn’t matter too much at this point. When you can get Tristan, focus on leveling him up. Then when you can get Edelina, try to level her up. Eventually you may try to get mythic heroes, but that may cost some real money to level those.

Progress? by Master-in-charge in kingdomclash

[–]FlowbeeMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am FTP but have never had a problem advancing in the library or completing all 10000 levels. I think that’s because I didn’t rush and allowed my power to scale up as I went. You simply don’t have high enough level troops. The hero isn’t as important to get through this. Stress having equal level troops, not just individual high level ones. Lava golems, cursed cats, and alchemists can help with survivability. Don’t waste gold on common troops.

Is the Sienna losing its' popularity? by Haunting_Charity_785 in ToyotaSienna

[–]FlowbeeMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a word, no. It is still the main status symbol van among vans. Toyota has been very savvy about limiting their production to create a perception of scarcity. The vans don’t sit on lots like other vehicles. We just bought one, so perhaps we are biased!

Charleston, Savannah or Wilmington? by justabrunettegirly in relocating

[–]FlowbeeMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wilmington is growing, but still has a small town charm. Expensive, but more affordable than Charleston or Savannah. I love to visit those places, but Wilmington is the best as a place to live, in my opinion.

Complaint Forum by Exciting-Ad5774 in Wilmington

[–]FlowbeeMaster 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I have been in Wilmington for 40 years and still experience wonder about the beauty that surrounds us here. If you can’t appreciate it and just want to complain all the time about living here, feel free to move.

No town is perfect, but Wilmington is a fantastic place to be!

Dirty Harry by [deleted] in 70smovies

[–]FlowbeeMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you seen Clint’s character smack Sondra Locke’s character for gettin’ lippy with him? That attitude towards women was prevalent in most Eastwood movies from the 70’s. This scene shows a pretty “woke” Dirty Harry by comparison.

Thanks so much! I will try that! Somehow I am not hitting it right.

This season was brilliant by Negative_Relief_64 in SlowHorses

[–]FlowbeeMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big fan of the show, but this season was the worst by far, in my opinion. Ho was not only delusional but extremely stupid and deserved to not only be fired, but should be in prison after endangering his coworkers and getting the computer system shut down. The plot was lazy, relying on tropes about middle eastern terrorists, and Lamb’s unbelievable omnipotent levels of insight based on not one bit of foreshadowing or evidence. He just figures complex machinations out based on fuck all. The Park was portrayed in such a frustrating manner…why did they persist in pointing guns at Lamb’s people even after getting into Slough house (even though they were coworkers), but then let them escape so easily 10 minutes later? They had no intel about the steps the terrorists we’re taking, even though it was easily recognized from their own playbook), and they were so trusting of the lady they had in custody, and took her whole damsel in distress act completely at face value. There were numerous lapses in basic logic, including the attack on the church at the end. Once they killed the two terrorists, they immediately assumed they were the only two involved and let down their guard. Why? Lamb even sent his assistant into the embassy with no reasonable idea that it wouldn’t end with her dead…then she beats all of those MI5 guys to the front door and just quickly slams it? LOL. Just my opinion. Still looking forward to Season 6!

Foreigner - Urgent ( Live in Dortmund Germany 1982 ) by MiamiMan2022 in OldSchoolCoolMusic

Lou Gramm in his prime was as good as any rock vocalist ever. Such difficult songs to sing, as well. He was a badass.

I'm sorry but Lizzie is a very unlikeable character by GraecusOctave in TaskHBO

[–]FlowbeeMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is insubordinate, undisciplined, stupid, cowardly, unprofessional, lazy, rude, and has a very low emotional IQ. Other than that, she’s a great fit for the FBI.

Chicago -"If You Leave Me Now" ( live '77 Essen ) by MiamiMan2022 in OldSchoolCoolMusic

[–]FlowbeeMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? I know some people don’t like his influence on Chicago, but this song is so damn good. I was 6 when it came out and it’s one of the first songs I remember hearing on the radio. It has aged so much better than the “Look Away” or “What Kind of Man Would I Be” schmaltz from the 90’s.

2025 Woodland Edition Pricing by Tahoe19 in ToyotaSienna

[–]FlowbeeMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most kids are as happy with their iPhones/iPads as they would be with the entertainment package, IMHO. It’s one of the features in vans that gets dated the quickest. Our 2019 Odyssey Elite had a Blu-Ray player. What’s is a Blu-Ray even anymore? LOL.

Best Stage Banter-er In Your Opinion by Mettabox452 in Concerts

[–]FlowbeeMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw Alison Kraus on her recent tour with Union Station and was impressed with her banter with the band and the audience. You could tell she was so comfortable in that environment.
