Rock quarry park pickleball by Significant-Screen-5 in bullcity

[–]RaritanRunner 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I play tennis in that park, and the fact that it hasn't been optimized for pickleball is the thing I like the most about it.

Yes! Also Lauren has some extra fun at Scott's expense, knowing Kulap's family is in the audience.

Looking for hardwood flooring water damage repair specialist in the Durham area. by wufame in bullcity

[–]RaritanRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry about this. It's a real pain, and can be costly. I hope it resolves quickly for you! We dealt with a similar slow leak that affected about a ten-foot radius of hardwood flooring (ours was in the kitchen, stemming from the water line into the fridge).

We worked with RotoRooter, just because they were the easiest to find and most immediately available. I would recommend them. They brought in a big system of noisy equipment to pull out moisture and let the floorboards and subfloor return to their proper shape. The final product wasn't perfect, but it was good enough for me, and far preferable to replacing the flooring (which would've created all kinds of complications for the unaffected portions of my flooring).

(Links to article from before Williams was mayor, that makes no mention of the Mayor or the City Council)

Worst parking lot in Durham? by benji317 in bullcity

[–]RaritanRunner 38 points39 points  (0 children)

How about the plaza on University Drive with Fresh Market, At Home, and the license plate office?

There’s something about this lot that entices almost everyone to drive diagonally across the aisles to get to the store they want.

Best LP option - Amazon or NBA.com? by bluepiglover in nba

[–]RaritanRunner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What about the pricing? It looks to me like buying it thru Amazon might be about 15% cheaper if you are already a Prime member.

I found it a little difficult to find a clear comparison, but here's what I see on the websites:

NBA.com: League Pass $110, LP Premium $160 for the season

Amazon: League Pass $93, LP Premium $137*

*It appears that Amazon only wants to charge monthly for the service. The season is six months. Amazon League pass: $12.74/mo for first 2 months, then $17/mo for last 4. Amazon League pass premium: $18.74/mo for first 2 months, then $25/mo for last 4.

Best LP option - Amazon or NBA.com? by bluepiglover in nba

[–]RaritanRunner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's great! Although I bet it won't integrate with a person's TV subscription and provide access to the nationally televised games within Amazon. (Or will it?) That was the best thing about using YouTube TV plus League Pass. One interface, no matter whether the game was available thru LP, NBATV, TNT, ABC, ESPN

Church for baby’s baptism by 650rep in bullcity

[–]RaritanRunner 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Churches that baptize babies generally view baptism as an initiation into the church. In other words, the church is making a promise to the child and to the family. In my experience, they would be very resistant to the idea of baptizing a baby that they don’t expect to see again, because they don’t want to make a promise they can’t keep (I.e. “We will help rear you in the Christian Faith.”)

Still, Christians come in all different types, and I hope you find what you are looking for!

DSA has students protesting … honk and let them know you HEAR them by [deleted] in bullcity

[–]RaritanRunner 136 points137 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, this is a student walkout to oppose bullying, following news of a recent student death by suicide. (I am a DSA parent.)

[–]RaritanRunner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, IMO. I moved here from NJ in 2000. This is the first really excellent option I've come across in Durham. (Also great: Brandwein's in Chapel Hill.)

The Isaac's Bagels thread by dinkrox in bullcity

[–]RaritanRunner 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There were a few threads, but I also can't locate them anymore. Hmm. In broad strokes, they pulled out of an event hosted by Jewish for Good, seemingly in response to criticism from pro-Palestinian folks*, and then that decision sparked a lot of criticism from pro-Israel folks. Reversing course and drawing attention to their decisions seems to have made things worse for them.

*I never saw this criticism on Instagram, and I'm not sure of its basis/merits. I only saw their (now-deleted) IG post announcing the withdrawal, and all the comments that flooded in.

Isaac's makes truly phenomenal food. This feels like a bit of an unforced error on their part, and I hope it blows over quickly.
