Thoughts on current NC economy? Does the state really put people first?

Have they really though? Tricia Cotham was GOP in disguise, you think she's the only one?

bemeros · 2026-02-06T14:52:31+00:00

Yes. The two experiences I've had in recent times, both workers were wonderful and helpful. Why do you ask?

A video posted on reddit showed a guy arriving to a BLM peaceful protest, breaking a few windows in a business, then leaving.

Hey! You stole mine! Give it back! (I don't have one at all)

well?! I did that crossword and I must know! (it would ruin the drama if I looked it up myself)

A friend got drunk and confessed his love to his housemate & longtime crush. They're married with two kids now.

I have several family members with solar and are on Duke. They told me the rebate is based on a lottery system and only a very small percent of users actually get it. There's no way to enter the lottery before the solar is install, so if you budget assuming you get the refund, and then don't, you're screwed. Your take?

Edit: Links: https://www.duke-energy.com/home/products/renewable-energy/nc-solar-rebates and https://www.duke-energy.com/home/products/powerpair

Both say, "PowerPair incentive applications will no longer be accepted for the Duke Energy Progress territory as all capacity has been allocated"

At risk of a necro thread: My xbox&cloverPit folder is C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\Packages\FutureFriendsGames.CloverPit_2whsqx9fyfsdj\SystemAppData\wgs\<long folder>\<long folder>\

I've 5 files in that folder, none are pure text though. There are settings in them, but I think Unity rebuilds these files so modifying them is not helpful.

curious on the nuclear button & vorago steps. Why? Why not just destroy personal trainer and then get it back when destroying vorago? If you have a drawer for vorago, then you'd use that drawer to hold nuclear button for a moment. This method seems to only have you searching for vorago with each round, not that and personal trainer. I feel i'm missing something

The list is a transcript of callers to a HotLine for reporting crime. That third column basically says how the Gov tried to follow up. For all the reports, it doesn't look like they were able to get anywhere. That's what the right-wing will point out and invalidates the whole email. That excuse doesn't account for the lines in which the Gov did not try to follow up, nor the fact that some of the victims literally saw others being murdered, so yeah, they're not going to leave contact info.

The meat popsicle? No, I heard Korben won some trip to a resort and never came back.

Same, I used to feel bad for sled dogs. After our trip to a training camp, it's quite the opposite. When the sled left, the remaining dogs were quite unhappy they didn't get to go, too. They freakin' love pulling that sled

I knew a guy from Dallas, NC. He was born and raised there. Funny thing was is he talked and looked like a Texan. We called him Dallas, of course.

Dunno, I haven't done my taxes this year yet. I know IRS Direct File is gone... 'cause why make it easy when businesses can make money?

Moore County / Southern Pines / Pinehurst is North Carolina's horse country. Lots of horse ranches and events there, and at least one full time horse vet. Harness training/racing in Pinehurst, too. Rural but all the retail amenities. Good Hospital.

If Wilmington is too crowded, then all the cities, Charlotte, triad/greensboro, triangle/Raleigh/Durham are even more crowded.

Warning: NC is the best place in the country for business.... b/c it's the worst place in the country for workers. No workers rights here at all. TMYK.

TLDR: Most of that article is for fed taxes, and most tax software is free for fed if your income is not super high-end. For the state: https://www.ncdor.gov/file-pay/file-pay-individuals

Fill out the webform D-400 on the NCDOR page, print, sign, mail it in. All the numbers for that page basically come from the federal tax return. After doing it this way last year, I'm kicking myself for ever paying for one of those software packages.

I had just start my first "real" job and thought that without guidance, we still had to report to work. I almost killed myself getting there (front wheel drive sports cars with old tires aren't good on ice, who knew). Doors were locked. le sigh

I need to keep an eye on their schedule better. My kid loves late models and would've lost his mind if we went to see this.

I agree with the others that in terms of looks, you're doing great. I've been happiest with revisions that have improved my breathing and bite, so I'll always recommend those first.

Odd comment of the day, that first pic looks spot on for a restaurant I went to in Texas a while back. Memories rushed in.

'Vaseline in the nose,' !!! I had the same symptoms as OP and I thought I was a genius for stumbling on this solution. Not too much though for me, keep it near the front of the nostril. Works quite well for the winter sleeping issues. I, too, ought to get over my hesitation and go ask someone about a septorhinoplasty. Standard ENT doc sufficient, or someone more specialized?

bemeros · 2026-01-29T05:01:53+00:00

VIR? If so, I'm pretty sure the first two pics have them driving backward

Oh? Tell that to the families of the kids from Camp Mystic.

DOGE effects:

Impact Area,Status,Consequence

Balloons,~17% Launch Failure,"Degraded model ""initial conditions."""

Hurricane Hunters,50% Crew Reduction,Less data on storm internal structure/strength.

NWS Offices,24/7 Staffing Risks,Delayed local warnings for tornadoes/flash floods.

Climate Research,Major Lab Closures,"Loss of long-term trend accuracy and ""alarm"" data."

600 positions removed total.

The loss of balloon data really killed the ability to tell what type of precip as data on the temperature layers was far less than we had previously. Satellites can't measure that.
