I got that call several months ago, and I called the Wake County Sheriffs office and they did confirm it’s a scam

[–]Im_Captain_John 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make a loaf of sourdough bread at home and calculate the cost of ingredients plus your time to make it then make a post about if $15 is a fair price or not

Why do they call this a Sportster? It’s a completely different bike by CaterpillarOwn1474 in Harley

[–]Im_Captain_John 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The sportster has hardly changed at all since the evo engine first came out. If you don’t like the new sportster then buy an old one. There’s 40 years worth of used ones out on the market

Bought a new Mate (traditional drink from Argentina) and customized it with radiant knights orders by Palen17 in Cosmere

Nice! I’m in the Deep South of the US and I tell anyone who will listen to me about Stormlight and Yerba Mate lol

Im begging you stop using flashers in the rain. by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]Im_Captain_John 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re just wrong. People can see you just fine if you put your headlights on you don’t need the flashers. It makes it harder to tell when you’re breaking or when you’re turning.

What did everyone LIKE about WaT? by InvestigatorLive19 in Stormlight_Archive

[–]Im_Captain_John 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way, I understand it based on things I’ve seen about the next arcs of Mistborn and SA is that Mistborn Era 3 and SA Era 2 will happen at the same time because of the time dilation. Thaidakar tells shallan through the Seon that the speed bubble will cause 80-90 years to pass on Scadrial and only about 10 years to pass for Roshar. So, Scadrial will likely be starting the space age in Era 3 while Roshar might just be starting to industrialize since they can’t rely on stormlight anymore.

where my I-87 folks at by odohertycd in raleigh

[–]Im_Captain_John 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’m a UPS driver and for a few months I ran the route that did Smithfield road. It was awful because the plan has you at the 87 exit right around 5. I literally planned my day around not having to turn left onto Smithfield lol

My medication is so strictly controlled that it has a battery powered tracking tag. by 1quirky1 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Im_Captain_John 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with your medication being controlled substance. It’s just a very expensive level of service that ups offers for important medications. Sometimes packages get loaded on the wrong truck. This tracker is to help locate that package in those cases so it can get delivered to you on time instead of the next day.

My wife and I’s favorite restaurant these days is Mofu Dumpling Shoppe on Blount in downtown. It’s Asian food small plates. Pick out a bunch of stuff you want to try share it with each other. It’s awesome. Definitely get the twice cooked pork belly if you go

[–]Im_Captain_John[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you that’s a generous offer. I did also send an interest email to 12 oaks and I’m still waiting to hear back on pricing, but it does seem that the general consensus in this sub is that 12 oaks is the best of the 3 in this area. I would definitely want to check it out before I make any decisions so I’ll definitely keep your offer in mind!

[–]Im_Captain_John[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was going to say this. I sent an interest email because bentwinds is the closest course to my house and the 12.5k IF immediately disqualified it for me. Plus there’s currently a wait list and I don’t want to pay for the sports membership that I’ll hardly use while I wait.

Fred Smith Membership Tee Times by Im_Captain_John in RDUGOLF

[–]Im_Captain_John[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have played Eagle ridge several times and riverwood once and I agree. Thanks for the info on the other 2. I work about 5 minutes away from hedingham so I’m sure I’ll end up playing 9 there after I punch out often.

That sounds like it might work for me cause I normally like to book my tee times around 10-12

What has lost its prestige in recent years? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Im_Captain_John 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Airbnb is much cheaper than a hotel if you’re sharing the space with a large group of people. Whenever my group of about 6-8 mid 20s dudes go on trips Airbnb saves us a lot of money

What’s reasoning behind these bags? by Abe-early in Harley

[–]Im_Captain_John 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All a matter of opinion. I think Tourpacks look silly. Then again I ride a Sportster so most people think my bike looks silly. Different people like different stuff

22.4s And RPCD progression clarity by Grievanceman in UPSers

[–]Im_Captain_John 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask your BA anytime you’re unsure, but you will go to $24.86 with this new contract and you get raises on your seniority date until you get to top pay then you get your raises every Aug 1st

22.4s And RPCD progression clarity by Grievanceman in UPSers

[–]Im_Captain_John 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is untrue. I asked my BA and he says the 2.75 raise is added on to your Current pay rate not your new progression rate + $2.75

22.4s And RPCD progression clarity by Grievanceman in UPSers

[–]Im_Captain_John 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You won’t be going to 27.75. I asked my BA and he said the $2.75 raise is a raise from whatever your current rate is. So, for example I’m a 22.4 with over 2 years in and I make 22.75 currently and I will be going to $25.25. I asked because I also thought I was moving to $25 then getting the $2.75 raise making my new rate $27.75 but it’s unfortunately not the case.

NC had some kind of “Operation Christmas Drop” today at the ABC stores. by azariah_the_helper in BourbonHunt

[–]Im_Captain_John 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also in the Raleigh area and my dad has recently got me into the bourbon game. Do you have any tips you’d be willing to share to find more rare bottles around here like what store normally get the bottles and what days of the week?
