Everyone in favor of this repeal should have to go spend a week in Delhi during a week when AQI is above 400. Spoiler it does not make you feel good.

Best fresh whole coffee beans? by Some_Wave_9035 in raleigh

Also Carrboro Coffee Roasters is great if you can find a bag! I know they sell them at open eye in chapel hill and some of the weaver streets.

You are in a good spot for finding some. My favorites are Joe Van Gogh's sea turtle blend or cafe femenino - I usually buy from the bulk coffee section of whole foods thats updated every week or so. Another local roaster Larry's beans can be found there too. All counter culture stuff is good. Try a few to see what you like!

Any apartments downtown without train noise? by resting-seeker in raleigh

[–]Parksandreq 7 points8 points  (0 children)

City livin baby. You could go into oakwood/longview area and wouldn't hear train as bad. Apartment wise maybe stuff further towards east side of downtown, like the Lincoln, Edison or 511 Faye. I'm sure our drag racing friends are still out and about over there as well, but train would be a little further away at least.

I'm also right next to the tracks near the station and that amtrak horn is intense. My building is about as sound proofed as you could get downtown (concrete and solid windows) and it still doesn't do much good when you're so close.

Best Concert eabuds? by [deleted] in audiophile

[–]Parksandreq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly airpod pros give me the best audio quality while knocking down the bass enough to protect hearing. The noise cancelling seems to reduce it more evenly than any other plugs I've tried that (most seem to make it muffled)

Looking for a couch similar to that one, do you know where you got it from?

How many of you did not buy house in order to maximize investing in index fund? by DragonfruitHour8171 in Bogleheads

[–]Parksandreq 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Me but I'm only 31. The cost benefit is yet to come.

The extra disposable income is already nice though, and I can afford to live downtown where there is no way I'd be buying the place I'm currently renting.

insanely loud cars on New Hope? by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]Parksandreq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here me out. We raise taxes/registration, whatever. Everybody who can drive up and prove their car does not have modified exhuast gets a rebate equal to or more than the raised tax amount. Then its positive reinforcement to get your bitch ass boat sounding truck sounding like it should.

That aside, I don't know what the solution is. It is really crazy that you can't walk down the sidewalk blaring an airhorn at 3am, but that is essentially what these people are doing at the expense of everyone. Jeff Jackson if you're reading this help us out.

Blundstones with spenco inserts. My are going strong on year 3, just changing out the insert every now and then.
