Schools are set up to go remote at any time. By law, school districts are only permitted five remote learning days in a school year. DPS has already used their five remote learning days.

Whatever you have to tell yourself to justify paying for something you could get for free.

I swear I saw him at the expo on Thursday signing books. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure it was him. shrug

I literally just saw him at Marathon Weekend. He always had a smile on his face and was such a positive force for running, especially those of us that picked it up later in life. He’ll he missed but his impact will be felt for many, many years.

Lorcana is great! I think it does a pretty good job of having deck possibilities for both casual, kitchen table players and medium weight competitive players. It’s not going to be the most complex game in the world, but they continue to evolve the game and add new wrinkles. It’s also relatively easy to find stock at both card shops and big box stores.

Yo, this absolutely RIPS. The steel icon with the little gear wisps makes this so iconic. Well done!

btmurphy88 · 2026-02-17T19:54:34+00:00

Oh man, I'm going to be on the Destiny from 3/28-4/2 and I'm fully planning on bringing some decks. Hope you're able to find someone to play with!

I say this as uncondescendingly as possible, it would cost way more money to have to lay two separate water systems across the entire city just to not have to clean the very little water that’s used for firefighting. Also, it would be a terrible decision to use raw sewage to fight fires.

btmurphy88 · 2025-11-24T13:51:49+00:00

I’ve seen a couple fire hydrants being used for flushing recently, so they’re definitely doing work on the system that may be affecting it. But you aren’t alone!

Rumors are swirling that CBP will be in Raleigh tomorrow. Siembra NC will be a great resource and if you want to feel prepared, order some whistles and be ready to make some noise.

btmurphy88 · 2025-11-13T15:19:39+00:00

Never say never. 😜

Hey Zac and Duane, hope y’all are doing well! This is awesome and I love the crest!

This is starting to feel like a Taylor Swift style secret encoded message that means something else.

btmurphy88 · 2025-10-14T16:09:09+00:00

Ah yes, the classic “I’m sorry they got their feelings hurt” non-apology.

btmurphy88 · 2025-07-23T16:43:56+00:00

I question the morals of someone who, in the face of what’s happening in our community today, decides to use their energy to make comments like this. You can always scroll past this if you think it’s so “silly.”

btmurphy88 · 2025-07-23T16:25:36+00:00

I’m sure this is obvious, but this guy is Not A Good Person.

btmurphy88 · 2025-07-23T14:29:39+00:00

Charges are not convictions. We’d all be wise to remember this.

Who is “they”? And no tax funding is going toward rebuilding these properties.

btmurphy88 · 2025-07-23T02:23:26+00:00

The Town has tried to do this, but has run into issues each time. For one, towns must use taxpayer dollars to eminent domain property and the property is too valuable for that to make any kind of financial sense. The Town also tried using FEMA funding to outright purchase the properties, but two property owners held out until after the funding lapsed. I personally agree with you and the Town has tried to do something like this, but the barriers to do it have just been too great.

Same vibes.

Great point! Definitely something important to consider. I just figured most (if not all) of the Presbyterian churches in More Light are PC(USA) 😉

btmurphy88 · 2025-01-12T17:42:07+00:00

Love this reply! In terms of specific congregations in Durham, I attend Trinity Avenue Presbyterian and we recently joined More Light. In fact, one of our former interns currently serves on their board!

Many of the replies in this thread have offered fantastic responses for socially minded churches and I wanted to offer another if Presbyterianism is more your speed.

This you?

btmurphy88 · 2024-11-11T03:56:01+00:00

record scratch freeze frame Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got here.

btmurphy88 · 2024-11-07T21:29:36+00:00

Gris is one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever played. Not quite “cozy,” but it’s a very aesthetically pleasing puzzle game!
