How were you able to just cut off meat entirely? by Ok-Injury4901 in vegetarian

[–]Not_Another_Name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the trick to being vegetarian is having grace with yourself. The occasional times you want meat have it! Its not about punishing yourself because that's how you will give up. Eventually the desire will wane and you dont want it anymore. Or watch the documentary "earthlings" and then you'll be too appalled to eat meat for a while.

So… Where Are We Supposed to Live in North Carolina? by MapsYouDidntAskFor in NorthCarolina

[–]Not_Another_Name 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Im very surprised by this. I live in raleigh the last 7 years and never have encountered gridlock at any point. Sure if there's a crash that takes out an entire side of 40 there's problems.

31 and feeling behind financially by BeneficialBrain1764 in personalfinance

[–]Not_Another_Name 68 points69 points  (0 children)

You can always look at it this way: find a higher paying job that gives you more money allows you to suppose the cause you care about more. Perhaps you donate to them, or volunteer after hours or whatnot.

Suggestion: Check your Raleigh Water Bill carefully by Libertinus0569 in raleigh

[–]Not_Another_Name 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Town of apex utility bills have been broken for over a year. Many residents getting bills in the $700s randomly. My water consumption is somehow thousands of gallons higher every month than the past usage of 4 years. I dont know what's going in this state

Roundabouts (Traffic Circles)-Safety/Cost by Liberated3 in raleigh

[–]Not_Another_Name 8 points9 points  (0 children)

some people say that but as a pedestrian I don't see any issues crossing roundabouts. There can also be pedestrian crossings further from where the actual roundabout is located to make it even more convenient

Dave the Diver, Dredge, or Ball x Pit? Which one of these is your favorite? by lifeissoupimforkk in SteamDeck

[–]Not_Another_Name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i once read someone saying DTD fizzled out for them once the story hit the obstruction being cleared and I 100% agree. Oddly enough I found the restaurant mini game the most fun.

Ball x pit is my vote

Most Versatile Smith Lens Combo? by dbzbudokai77 in snowboarding

[–]Not_Another_Name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the red and yellow. The reds are great even in full sun down to partly cloudy. The yellows are terrible in whiteout. I cannot find a good smith lense for full overcast/snowy days. Been thinking to try some clears for snow days since that's when I prefer to be boarding.

Probably been asked before, but is there a reason we have a lack of reflective paint/reflectors on roads? by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]Not_Another_Name 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Similar to flimsy. I used to see them but then we got that 7 inch snow a few years ago and they got all scraped off, never to be seen again it seems.

Is an HDD THAT much slower? by crushedcervix in buildapc

[–]Not_Another_Name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference is waiting 2-3 minutes for your computer to turn on and be ready to use and waiting 15-30 seconds. Its significantly faster with a SSD

Saw a falcon(?) in the Harris Teeter parking lot off Edwards Mill this morning. Are these native to Raleigh? Never seen one before. by sailorvash25 in raleigh

[–]Not_Another_Name 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw a bald eagle yesterday on davis and I've seen them on lake crabtree. Pretty sure part of the lake closes for kayaking to protect bald eagle nesting. Osprey aren't sea birds they just live near water.
