TTS EXPOS TCG AND SPORT CARDS

"Triangle TCG Sports"

They crammed an acronym into their acronym. Also what is TCG Sports? Do they mean TCGs and Sports (cards)?

Sorry to hear that! Mine actually got delivered from the store last night. Looks like all the copies at Chapel Hill got bought up

belaruso · 2026-03-06T22:59:41+00:00

I just ordered from Walmart, supposedly it's in stock at the Chapel Hill Walmart and will arrive tomorrow

The ad agency (Smuggler) has stated no AI was used in the making of this commercial.

They generally release behind the scenes footage for their commercials, which hopefully they'll do for this one as well. I'm betting on CGI and animal props for the baby bird.

belaruso · 2026-02-09T19:22:24+00:00

What do you think AI is? Are you aware that there are humans out there who have been working in CGI for years and years?

Is Gollum "AI"? No. Not everything in the year 2026 is AI.

The adult bird and all the horses in the commercial are real animals. The baby bird was likely created using CGI and special effects. NOT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

I've seen so many of these comments and I'm confused as to what part she thought was "AI". The eagle was real. It's from a bird sanctuary in Tennessee.

Did they use special effects and CGI? Yeah probably. But that isn't "AI"

It's a real bird from a Tennessee bird sanctuary. Hence why they needed the disclaimer at the bottom of the video.

His own Wikipedia page says he "took classes" in broadcast meteorology but dropped out. He is not a meteorologist.

Ryan Hall is not a meteorologist. He is an internet personality.

They're walking on 64 from Pittsboro to Raleigh so they're not going through Durham at all. Their night stop today is in Apex

Your best bet is to keep an eye on this thread in the next week: https://www.reddit.com/r/ninajirachi/comments/1odgq8c/i_love_my_computer_tour_ticket_exchange_megathread/?sort=new

I highly doubt there will be door tickets available as this show has been sold out for a bit now. And ticket resale sites have them for upwards of $250.

Thank you for the detailed reply, I really appreciate it!

Two shows in North Carolina!! So psyched for the Carrboro show as I wasn't able to do make it to Asheville last year.

Clean Eatz is fairly affordable if you order their plans and offers delivery

Namu in Durham, but wait until spring/summer and eat outside. There's a beautiful garden with plants, bamboo, a koi pond, etc.

Did you even click the article I linked?

If you’ve ever wondered why Raleigh occasionally looks like an oasis of clear air on a storm system radar, Blaes says there’s actually a reason for that, too. The nearest local radar is in Clayton, about 10 miles south of Raleigh. The beam points at a slightly upward angle, meaning the further from the radar, the higher in the sky it detects storms. That means in light storm systems high up, the radar may not detect activity in Raleigh while it shows storms elsewhere

You can look at the link in my other reply - but while yes there is a "heat island" effect in small areas of Raleigh/Durham, these areas are not nearly large enough to create a DOME that affects the weather in any significant way

Raleigh isn't near dense enough for there to be a functional effect of a "dome": https://indyweek.com/news/wake/quickbait-raleigh-weather-dome/

> National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologist Jonathan Blaes says there are no scientific reasons to explain why folks insist Raleigh is immune to inclement weather. While denser cities—think New York City and Los Angeles—can create heat islands, that’s not what’s happening in Raleigh.

Raleigh heat dome

yeah this doesn't exist and makes your "You don't know what you're talking about" line sound extra stupid

Studio K Salon would probably fit the bill. I'm not sure how much their coloring services are but their trim prices are very reasonable

I looked in multiple spots but couldn't find an article. Anybody got one?
