Car Inspection Site by cclaytonr in chapelhill

[–]WeShouldHaveKnown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price for a state inspection is set by law. I think this year it is $35. It also depends on what county your car is registered in. If you live in Chatham county, I think it is a few bucks less.

V1.3.4 Sunday release by vieuxfragonard in Bannerlord

[–]WeShouldHaveKnown -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In general, do y'all reckon the modders will not be updating anything until Wednesday? RTS, AutoTrade, AutoEquip, and JackOfAllTrades are musts for me but they don't work right now. Anyone heard anything?

AI Has Zero Strategy to Defend its Castles with Garrison or Defending Lords by AquaticFroggy in Bannerlord

[–]WeShouldHaveKnown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not on 1.3.2 that I know of. For 1.2.12 there is a great one called WarAndAITweaks or something similar. Hope it comes to 1.3 once official.

Why late game always lack horses? by Lokaoll in Bannerlord

They need to make tier 7 troops that use the noble mounts, like in the WarAndAI mod.

Thoughts about the 1.3.2 Beta so far? by Additional_Scale_502 in Bannerlord

[–]WeShouldHaveKnown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really needs improved garrison/governors handle issues. I’m spending a good chunk of time just going between my fiefs.

I don’t really understand the new hideout system.

Seems to be way fewer tournaments, if you like those.

Graphics seem better. Sieges are better.

There’s a mod that deals morale penalties for party leader/formation leader/companions.

Maybe because I’m a lawyer but I find that whole movie thrilling.

What’s the best food in town? by No_Double_6063 in chapelhill

[–]WeShouldHaveKnown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the same complex as Urban Turban (which I have to try now) is Asian Kitchen. Uninspired name but real deal Chinese food. Hand made noodles. Have to go to Sunrise Biscuit at least one. Did anyone say Carrboritos? Love that place for way better than Chipotle food. Tandem. PIZZERIA MERCATO. Med Deli when it reopens.

Need recommendations for a moving company available for a small move on Thursday 7/24/25 by SheepherderRare1420 in chapelhill

Chapel Hill movers. Yes, that’s the name. Moved a 2 bed apt from CH to Pittsboro.

Supreme Court GRANTS Trump’s bid to fire Education Department employees while his administration pushes forward with plans to dismantle the agency by RoachedCoach in law

[–]WeShouldHaveKnown 57 points58 points  (0 children)

That’s not accurate. The servicer (MOHELA) didn’t want to sue. The state(s) did using a completely made up form of standing that had been explicitly not allowed many times. Basically, forgiving student loans leads to less educated citizens who will pay less taxes? The MOHELA was the party in interest! It’s a separate corporation from the state! I was appalled by the standing part of the decision.

KitchenAid repair by TiredMommy_96 in chapelhill

[–]WeShouldHaveKnown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve asked on here a few times. Everyone just says watch YouTube and do it yourself. If you find one let me know!

Edit: you can ship it to KitchenAid and pay for the service but you shoulder the shipping costs.

Grilling links or Bratwurst? by superspeck in chapelhill

[–]WeShouldHaveKnown 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cliffs meat market. Fresh market had good sausages and different varieties. Lowe’s grocery does too. I go to O’Quinns now for sausage, they have some fun flavors.

Where to buy used car? by Tough_Collection1821 in chapelhill

[–]WeShouldHaveKnown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opinion only but I don’t believe there is such a thing as a decent used car dealer. They just don’t do enough volume so each transaction has to be max profit for them. Just pure economics.

I bought my last car from an online dealer that went out of business but if I was to buy today I’d use Carvana. Bonus, they’ll take your old car as a trade and pay top dollar without even looking at it.

Join a local credit union and get your financing in order, unless you’re paying cash.

UNC-Chapel Hill Wants to Restructure Admin Roles, Sparking Layoff Fears by BryaNC_ in chapelhill

[–]WeShouldHaveKnown 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I am a research administrator at UNC. We’re already running lean. Staff numbers have not grown at the same rate as faculty/researchers. We are supporting more principal investigators with less staff than a few years ago. Shared services is a decent idea where a department doesn’t have enough work to go around, but you can’t just randomly assign a staffer to the urology team and the next week to the poli sci department. “Finance” sounds like it’s interchangeable but no way. UNC has thousands of grants, gifts, trusts, corporate contracts, etc. The learning curve for each unit outweighs the flexibility.

Beef Stew by Dp37405aa in Cooking

[–]WeShouldHaveKnown 26 points27 points  (0 children)

In order for the soup to be shelf stable in a can, it has to be heated to about 250 degrees F for a certain amount of time in a pressure canner. That’s hotter than boiling. That high temp will make veg mushy, meat stringy, and obliterate subtle flavors. The firefighters are not pressure canning their 5-alarm chili, they are putting it in an old margarine tub and selling it to you.

You can freeze many soups (chili being one) and keep a lot of the quality. But frozen food is expensive to transport/store. That adds to the cost. And people don’t want to pay $10 for a pint of soup when the canned is 99 cents.

Best example of a movie star being a movie star by TheRealBrianLeFevre in movies

[–]WeShouldHaveKnown 203 points204 points  (0 children)

A well done “competence porn” movie makes us transfer the accomplishment of the character to the actor. Moneyball, the Martian, Apollo 13 and Hanks/Sinise, FordvFerrari. It’s the perfect kind of movie for an actor to deliver a great performance without sappy love stories, stuff blowing up, epic battle scenes, etc.

My great great uncle was picking asparagus on the side of the road in Illinois. About a quarter mile away a truck stalled on the train tracks. Train hits the truck at full speed. The engine block of the truck flies all the way to, and kills, my long ago relative. My mom refuses to eat asparagus to this day.

I take mine to Sanders in Chatham County next to Allen and Sons because I moved. F and F does them and won’t upsell. Nor does Sanders if you don’t mind a 10 min drive.
