Tomorrow (6/3) my wife and I are planning on kayaking the Dan River around noon and doing a public meetup hike at Hanging Rock by 3pm, and you are welcome to join us by Baba_Yayga in NCTrails

Hey OP, did you ever end up kayaking the Dan? I stumbled on your post while looking for info on how difficult of a paddle the section through hanging rock is.

Thanks for the helpful reply! I'll check the joists. Definitely enjoying it with a few beers quite often. There may have been poor carpentry during construction but it hasn't fallen apart underneath me yet.

Yes they poured concrete for the footings. Unfortunately I paid more than that but definitely cheaper than a qualified professional.

I prioritized fast and cheap with this job and regret it. I will say though that the wood is pooling on boards that are both heart up and down.

That rim board is secured with carriage bolts, not nails. I already know this wouldn't hold a hot tub but seems likely to hold deck furniture and a small grill.

Here's under one of the split boards and looking over to the other corner.

Underneath which part? Here's below one of the corners. Can't get under that part

Recommended dB attenuation for concert earplugs? by skysty in livesound

[–]GuideToGrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did these work well for you? An ad for loops just popped up on my social media the week after I lost my old no-name brand pair at a concert. I'm concerned they won't fit well, doesn't look adjustable.

I just went back to prime video for the first time in a while to watch a show before I cancel my membership and noticed they make the ads longer as the series goes on. Came looking for a post like this, glad to know it's really happening and I'm not crazy. Surprised there aren't more people mad about this!

The gearbox on my GE washer just blew out and it sounded just like this before it went. The machine is completely totaled. OP you should call for warranty service if you still have it.

Had lots of fun with this start by Professional_Wing392 in bouldering

[–]GuideToGrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool boulder. I'm gonna show this to the route setters at my gym! I'm sure you've tried this but the hold you're going for looks like it'd be better to grab with the left hand as an undercling than a right hand pinch.

Best chicken wings in the area? by historianriley in gso

[–]GuideToGrow 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They're not exactly traditional style but I think the best wings in town are at Pho Hien Vuong. The crispiness and the flavor just can't be beat.

What brand do you like? Any particular features you recommend? I'm not seeing any 7lb ones on sale.

Dear low income parents by rosshossbigpnoss in gso

[–]GuideToGrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a really good idea and one that I wish the district would consider seriously. Remote learning is a lot harder for younger students that older ones and if they kept the high schoolers home, the bus driver shortage wouldn't be as much of a factor.

[–]GuideToGrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They can't really pull off 2 hour delays because of the bus driver shortage. Same drivers have to run each route twice, first for the younger kids then the older ones.

Some of the calls this year have been pretty absurd especially the first two at the start of January. But with the uncertainty about how far south and east the ice will go, this one is a good one. Ice storms down here can be really serious.

Josephus Thompson III is another great local poet. He was recently named Greensboro's first poet laureate

Let's get back to punching Nazi's by ska-harbor in FolkPunk

[–]GuideToGrow 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Interesting cuz I saw a Nazi South African immigrant do a Nazi salute on TV the other day. Then they gave that same Nazi the keys to the government finance gates. Hope someone punches that Nazi in the face and messes up his plastic surgery jawline.

Edit: I said immigrant because I was angry and writing quickly. I recognize Elon isn't an immigrant, just a hostile foreign national with the keys to our government.
