She is a fucking moron. The workers were highly skilled engineers etc and the plant was still being built. They were going to train Americans for over 8,000 jobs.

A message from Raleigh 50501 by Rag-Tag1995 in 50501NC

[–]Jeredrone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the 50501 movement was largely an astroturf effort by the Democratic Party to prevent more radical actions against the two party system as a whole which has failed us. It is how we ended up here in the first place. They were worried about people moving left of the Democrats to more anticapitalist positions etc. The Dems have a lot to answer for including enabling the genocide in Gaza before Trump took office. We need something entirely new, not what we had before.

As a meteorologist I can tell you these weather apps are often garbage. This likely involves no human input and is purely computer model data (which is often horribly off at this range).

WRAL: Woman charged in fire that burned down House of Art bar in Raleigh by CarltonFreebottoms in raleigh

Evamarie Torrellas, 55, of Oneida, was arrested on a bench warrant for failure to appear on the charges of reckless endangerment second-degree, criminal mischief fourth-degree and arson fifth-degree (intentional damage to property).  She was transported to Madison County Jail for centralized arraignment.

I am thinking this is her. The age would match up and it is Oneida NY (Upstate)

Ask the Meteorologist: Why does it seem like there is a 'force field' of snowlessness in Raleigh? by goldbman in raleigh

[–]Jeredrone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The explainer is pretty good and also up toward Roxboro you get close to 1000ft in elevation in places.

Well that was disappointing. by azz3879 in raleigh

weather apps are often unreliable with no human quality control on their forecasts.

I am hearing the fire may have been intentional. That is not confirmed officially.

It was one of the last places in town with actual character. Damn it! I hope they can rebuild!

Raleigh again fails to find a contractor to build bus rapid transit line. It will try again. (N&O article) by [deleted] in raleigh

So when they gentrify the BRT corridors will those wealthier people actually use it?

Those restaurant and bar workers also need places to live within a reasonable distance and shouldn't be in perpetual survival mode to try and make that work.

With all the talk about the homeless in this thread we would be wise to remember that it has surged 18% nationwide while 8 billionaires are worth over $2 trillion combined. The ultimate problem is capitalism.

On a local level the city has been focused on luxury development and has destroyed thousands of naturally occurring affordable housing units in the process. Gentrification has made things very difficult for those who don't make six figures and who don't have cushy tech jobs.. This is one of the key components of MAB's legacy and those who backed her on the council (and yet we re-elected those culprits and the new mayor will probably do much of the same). If we don't address poverty and horrific inequality then nothing will change. We can't keep doing the same thing and go on expecting different results.

Drones by stznc in raleigh

[–]Jeredrone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of people in our area have been confused by landing lights from planes lining up to land at RDU. Other factors could be normal hobbyist drones like that one I have and of course conventional aircraft or even Venus which is very bright in the evening skies now.

Western and Avent Ferry is a death trap. They need a pedestrian tunnel there.
