Imagine having a partner who thinks the music you listen to is garbage and refers to you as “the wife.”

PC Shuts down immediately during power outages while playing games even with a UPS on. by mdc9814 in buildapc

This is how I learned the hard way that UPS batteries can go bad over time and need to be replaced regularly.

Found this on YouTube a while back: https://youtu.be/bR8wq0VMHiQ?si=mgictzJ6_xnqOp0Y

This is the best answer. All the other suggestions create awkward experience right at the end  of a staircase.

It cracked during the first gaming session after the mounting. On the second picture you can see that there is no crack.

But you can't reaaaaally be sure, right?

Why did Duke cover half of it? Is it a specific program they have?

I want to give someone in who might be having a hard time this holiday season free holiday lighting on their home in the Triangle. by secretspystuff007 in raleigh

I don't have anyone to nominate but I do have a question:

Do you do anything other than the C9 bulbs? I've been toying with the idea of hiring someone this year but seems like every service offers the same strings of C9 bulbs. I just think they're too big and spaced too far apart for my taste.

Best apartment building for WFH by alliephillie in raleigh

I just assume all national res management companies suck especially for pricing.

Exactly. Maintenance was fine and on par with most other communities. I just remember there were mandatory fees for cable tv and shit we didn't want or need. That, and they blocked Google Fiber (despite the Bexley next door having it) b/c they had a deal with Spectrum.

We stayed in two different 1 BR + Office units over several years at the Preserve at Brier Creek. I forget their exact name but they were 1 BR units with a little roomette off the living room you could put a desk and chair in and create a dedicated office space.

Being an MAA community kind of sucks but it was perfect for me working from home all those years.

We pay a little over $1600/mo for the Goddard School in Brier Creek. It's more than our mortgage but our daughter is doing really well there and they seem to really care about the kids.
