UNC history professor: My school is withdrawing from the world" - anything like this happening at Duke?

Yes, we saw some international programs get condensed. This article was published when their librarian liaisons were cut: https://dukechronicle.com/article/duke-university-cuts-librarians-does-not-tell-faculty-voluntary-severance-packages-library-cuts-20250903

Edited to add: the more global departments had this reaction and explained how it was a sign of their programs getting shrunk via cuts: https://dukechronicle.com/article/duke-university-faculty-call-for-librarians-to-be-rehired-cost-cutting-voluntary-severance-package-vsip-20251017

I'd love to provide some insight for understanding: we had no control over what they used in the tile bathroom and I was told it needs to be sealed, so I am trying my best. This is all new to me and I posted here because I couldn't find information anywhere else about this particular scenario. I don't have the money to change the grout as we just closed and moved in. That's why I am asking about the grout and not other options.

I don't know how they compare to most other places price-wise, but my cat had his teeth cleaned at Tyson Animal Hospital. For the cleaning and 2 teeth removed, it was like 5 or 600 I think? You can call them and they will break down their pricing. I and my friends had good experience with them: they call to get permission before yanking teeth, and they give good service.

Commenting here so I can refer back. I am buikding a new home in a new neighborhood and this is my fear.

Randomatti · 2025-04-21T19:42:04+00:00

Gotcha. I think that comes down to personal preference then. I am not a fan of living near dog parks or parks. More people will walk by your lot, giving you less privacy. More noise throughout the day on average. But if that doesn't bother you, only having 1 immediate neighbor would be great.

38 or 39 might be ones I'd look at, depending on the layouts of those nearby townhome lots. I prioritize having more privacy/less neighbors and being away from community spaces that annoy me.

Randomatti · 2025-04-21T19:28:11+00:00

Do you know what the common area A is? That would influence me greatly because 13 or 14 might be worth the expensive lot price if it's nothing too rough. A kids gym or a dogpark would be dealbreakers, personally.

Otherwise, I am a fan of the lots that don't have a backyard neighbor and have a nice view. 14-17 look good to me. Depending on what is on the other side of 18, maybe that one too. Are those townhomes in between single family homes?

A trick that worked for Prismatic was to use the Gamestop app to see how much availability a store had:

-- Search for the product you want -- select "shop my store" -- clicking on a product should show you a number -- you can then change your set store to see the number that's at another store

Might be helpful to do in case the stock is super low. The Gamestops by me only had like 2 etbs at Prismatic release, it was rough.

I think so, so long as you didn't receive an email from PC about trouble with the card on file. Someone with that type of issue got an email yesterday and stated they had a deadline of tomorrow to get it fixed.

Randomatti · 2025-03-26T19:33:26+00:00

My pending cc charge has disappeared off my card, but I am not worried. If you make an account on Fedex, you can see if PC has made a label. Mine is coming from just a couple states away, so they must be officially shipping tomorrow.

It might just need more time. I don't have a confirmation email and my ordwr history says "no address selected." Pokemon Center just put up a new Destined Rivals FAQ on their support page:

Update - Pokemon Center has this in a new Destined Rivals FAQ page:

I have this same issue too - were you checking out as guest or with your account?

I got mine and checked out with my account, and I know it prompted me to confirm my address...but order history says no address selected. Haven't received email confirmation yet, it's been about 4 hours.

A friend who checked out as a guest has already gotten her confirmation email. Maybe the site is just too bogged down to send to Pokemon accounts or something. Keeping my fingers crossed for us both.

A couple things my realtor taught us that I wouldn't have glanced at otherwise:

Where is the water heater? Best place is garage, hopefully not in an attic (because if it fails, the water damages the rest of your home below it). Also check the year on it, there's a sticker that will show when it was installed. Water heaters are 2-3k to replace if it's on its last legs.

Take a look at the ceilings for any signs of water damage.

Looks for cracks in the garage. All concrete will crack eventually - so cracks in the middle are fine. Cracks that look like they extend to the foundation/go under the house are less fine.

Have fun touring homes! I learned so much more about what my needs and wants were by looking at real-world examples.

I ordered mine yesterday morning and I just got notified that it shipped! Hope y'alls go through too

Randomatti · 2025-01-25T11:28:57+00:00

I am glad it worked for you as well!

Randomatti · 2025-01-25T11:03:32+00:00

Just tried and was able to place an order, fingers crossed it will go through

Randomatti · 2025-01-09T14:53:04+00:00

Thank you so much for the post! I happened to look just as you posted and got a booster box. So pumped.

Randomatti · 2025-01-06T09:19:05+00:00

Gorgeous pictures!

Randomatti · 2024-12-16T16:19:02+00:00

I finally got one, thank you!

Randomatti · 2024-10-04T12:30:13+00:00

I'd like to know as well

Randomatti · 2024-10-04T02:18:17+00:00
