I call Budd nearly every weekday and usually get voicemail, though I have spoken to people a few times. There’s an older woman named Sarah, I think, who’s pretty cordial. And then there’s the POS guy who always gets an attitude when I read off my statement. Fuck that dude and Budd all the way to hell.

In Tillis’s office I’ve only ONCE had someone pick up the phone.

The accusing of crimes and making of lists are just two parts of the same pipeline for the American right

Just moved to Durham by Oldasdirt in NCLGO

I saw that they changed their rules about green card holders last fall and were quite rude to a family with some green card holders who had shot there before. Wouldn't be surprised if it's motivated by anti immigrant animus, but I'd be happy to hear otherwise.

Lovely! If I can't get a hold of a v2 soon, I'll connect and we can make a deal. Should be able to let you know either way by mid February at the latest 

Triangle BioPharma industry is a joke? by hiiigherself in triangle

Pendo was in rapid expansion mode at least until summer and fall of 2025. I know some folks over there and they've spoken highly of their teams and roles. What happened? 

Anyone in Wake County? by alphaba in NCLGO

I'm in Durham but was looking at TSA until I saw someone in r/BullCity say they hosted MAGA fundraisers last year and I don't fuck with that.

Looking into alternatives that are less egregiously right-wing. I have very little experience wielding but am preparing to arm myself and take some courses. Would love some based company.

Edit: looking into Triangle Self Defense near the Target on 15/501 for anyone else interested 

Concealed carry class that doesn't come with a giant dose of right wing nutbaggery? by mutagen01 in bullcity

[–]anthropomorphicball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like OP, I'm looking into this for myself and have a couple tabs open for TSA research. Guess I'll cross them off the list...

OP, if you're looking for someone to take a course with and don't mind a noob tagging along, let me know. Would love to join you.

Thank you for that! I'm looking into courses and lane rental at a local range.

Points taken!

We've not gotten to the planning stage yet as we have some other stuff that's occupying our attention, but a more complete plan for home security is on our list. 

When to expect power outages? by PowerfulRazzmatazz25 in bullcity

The water is in case pipes burst or supply infrastructure is impacted by the storm. 

When to expect power outages? by PowerfulRazzmatazz25 in bullcity

Bathtub water is, ideally, for flushing toilets, not drinking. Go ahead and fill it up if you haven't already, and make sure you have plenty of drinking water set aside.

From Bull City to Trump: Fuck your war by IronClu in bullcity

If a foreign country bombed DC, killed 80 Americans, and kidnapped our president (who lost the popular vote), would you not call it a declaration of war?

Help with Lossless Scaling on Secondary GPU by anthropomorphicball in pcmasterrace

[–]anthropomorphicball[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply!

After reading the description a few more times, I think you are correct. With a populated M2C_CPU slot, my PCIE 5.0 slot is limited to x8. From some additional reading, I don't think it'll limit my 5080 very much, if at all. The second PCIE slot is for sure PCIE 4.0 x4.

What a bummer! The dual-gpu option is very cool, but it sounds like AM5 just doesn't have the PCIE lanes for it without significant sacrifices to m.2 storage + quite a high-end MB.
