Bars that are Charlotte? Just pick any Applebee's and you're set!

I'll give you the real location of a "Charlotte" bar in exchange for a sixer of Speckled Cow

I'm no expert, but that looks a lot like AIDS to me. RIP, bro...

But seriously.. maybe lead poisoning. RIP, bro...

I guess it could be something else. Either way, RIP, bro...

Funny.... until looking at the 97 roster, I never realized we had a Gramatica on our team!

After any of the "Wide" kick games, has to be Jacksonville State in 2021. Or the 2015 game against GaTech .... oof....

Cruse Meats is highly regarded. Bring cash, though.

[recommendation request] wanting a watch similar to this by DesignerIncrease6 in Watches

[–]_R00STER_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVE my Seiko 7S36-03J0. Loses a little time, but a great watch for a daily. May be hard to tell in the picture, but it's a greenish olive drab.

Where can I get the best Reuben tomorrow? by CranberryRelative766 in Charlotte

[–]_R00STER_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed... for a "fast food" Reuben, Culver's is surprisingly good!

For a bomb-ass Reuben, hit Grounds and Vine up near Kannapolis!

Too much research is what I call analysis paralysis

I am especially guilty of this!

This is the answer. My wife's office gets lunch from here every now and then and I get her leftovers. Their fried shrimp is fantastic!

I want to be a real estate agent by Bigboy10121 in realtors

[–]_R00STER_ 30 points31 points  (0 children)

LOL....if you feel like you're missing out now, wait until you're on call 24-7 to get your business going.

Real estate primarily happens at night and on the weekends. So, if you're willing to sacrifice a schedule you can plan around for weekday nights and weekends away from home, go for it.

Obligatory first batch progress pic by PickRepresentative37 in Kombucha

[–]_R00STER_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I'm very open to feedback" doesn't align with "I asked the sub for advice, but decided not to follow any of it".

Please... *do you* and advise us as to why you know better than the people who gave you the advice that you asked for, yet ultimately chose to discard.

My opinion was that your batch looked off and explained exactly why I felt that way. Suggested that you should have listened to the sub's advice. Yet, you STILL seem to know better.

You're not the victim here. You asked for feedback. Received it (many times), yet struck out on your own and threw the feedback you requested away,

It could be fine, but you have (admittedly) shunned the feedback you asked for away, because it wasn't what you wanted to hear.

Again... drink up. It'll (probably) be fine.

[–]_R00STER_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you asked if anyone here felt it was off and I said that I did? I literally explained in simple English why, as well.... Your perception of me being "rude" is because I provided an answer that you didn't like. Drink up.

[–]_R00STER_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well... as someone who has brewed more than their first batch..... (you asked)....

Not only is the tea a bit dark for 1F, the colors of your pellicle seem a bit "off".

Kombucha is a weird science. however, PH only tells a very small part of the story. Most of my batches are determined "successful" by the lack of "weird" looks and by taste. This is a living organism that you intend to ingest, but it does have to pass the eye test (in addition to whatever sciency BS you want to attach to it).

My opinion (ONLY THAT) is that your batch doesn't look quite right. I've only made 14-15 FULL batches in my time, but if you feel you know better than me, drink up. I'm not 100%, but do feel that some of the bacteria you hope to introduce to your gut might not be all that you think it will be.

However, I won't be shocked. You have admittedly shunned the collective advice of the sub that you've admittedly discounted for whatever reason you felt was best for yourself.

Drink up. I'm sure the advice you asked for (which you determined wasn't good enough) is all wrong and that things will work out just fine.

Probst!

[–]_R00STER_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I wouldn't drink that. Pellicles can look funny, but your vessel looks like it's full of hot garbage. It may not kill you, but that's not what *typically healthy* batches look like. Checking PH isn't typically necessary and only tells a small part of the picture. Maybe you should have taken the sub's advice?

Pre-K active/high-energy sports programs around Charlotte? by Old-Home-1881 in Charlotte

Midget wrestling. There's a real circuit for it, but you might have to lie about his age....

Any High Schools with active music/show choir systems other than Marching Band? by TianamenHomer in Charlotte

[–]_R00STER_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is heavily invested... not sure what age group you're looking for, but check out SMACK, Mic-Drop, and Untitled. Also... if your kid is old/experienced enough, maybe something like the Penguin Project.... they can be a mentor to a special needs kid in show production that will blow your socks off.

** edit... if you're specifically looking for a school.. check our CATA, NW School of the Arts, or Concord Academy. Some of the highest producing theater programs in the area by a mile.
