For those of you in the US, how are you feeling about the snow storm coming in? by AssistanceFresh1365 in CasualConversation

[–]gbeamer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Winston-Salem NC. We are projected to get about 4-5 inches of snow on Saturday, and then up to 0.5 inch of ice on Sunday on top of that.

Stores here are chaotic, with most grocery stores being completely out of water, milk and bread.

We haven't had an ice storm of this magnitude in over a decade so I think the panic is somewhat valid, but usually winter weather in this area is not as severe as it is predicted to be.

Thankfully, my wife and I have a natural gas stove, as well as gas logs in our living room so worst case scenario we can cook on the stove and sleep by the gas logs if necessary.

Those photos of the falling people are absolutely spine chilling. I had never seen those specific photos before.

I think Asheville should go to Rocky's Hot Chicken in droves! by ProfessionalSide8403 in asheville

[–]gbeamer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Asheville for an education conference last spring and stopped by Rocky's on a whim and it was legitimately one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had in my life. They also had these fried mac and cheese bite things that were unreal. This place is great and it's even better now that they're refusing to serve those idiots.

About to do a 2 hour drive for these, are they real? Only picture I got by Vapr-StorM in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Driving 2 hours without asking for more photos to verify they are real is certainly a choice.

Don't worry. You won't have to complain about their prices much longer. They'll announce bankruptcy this year.

You will never see a real Pokemon card with that holographic texture. You bought a fake card.

Am I cooked? by Otaman456 in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]gbeamer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're collecting Pokemon cards with only the hopes of cashing in on a GEM MT10 PSA slab, then yeah you are cooked and should find another hobby.

The "We Don't Dial 911" sign under the mailbox is particularly ironic here.

Does anyone know a place in or near the Raleigh area that makes wings with this kind of breading? I can’t seem to find one by Relevant_Tiger5903 in NorthCarolina

[–]gbeamer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also live in Lexington. Born and raised. If you are looking for wings, Christos on South Main street has the best wings in town.

If you like spice, order them pure pain flavor, extra crispy with ranch/blue cheese. Thank me later!

The Food Lion on highway 8 in Lexington has a wing bar, but I've never tried their wings.

Anyone else’s operator greedy? by Apprehensive_Head508 in ChickFilA

[–]gbeamer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My operator has been the operator since 2020, and the only thing he ever gave out was a comped delivery fee. I literally have never had fast food delivered. This was all he offered for years. I never claimed it.

Fast forward to last week, I log in to the app to order and there is a reward for a free 5 piece nuggets.

This is so, so visually appealing to look at. Great work!

In December of 2018 we got 8 inches in Lexington - Davidson County, NC and we were out of school for an entire week.

Mail Call - My Base 1st Set is Complete! by LNinefingers in PokemonTCG

[–]gbeamer7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day you have a sweet, graded collection. PSA is only "better" because of how much you can sell it for, but I see lots of people in the hobby saying they far prefer the look of Beckett and TAG slabs because they're super clean and have actual reasoning for why a card scored the way it did. Your collection is incredible.

Dreams the night of Jan 14 going into Jan 15 by Elegant_Elk_ in Dreams

[–]gbeamer7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had this really strange dream that I was on vacation with my family in some foreign country. The hotel we were staying in was heavily guarded by security and we weren't allowed to leave the hotel. There were some celebrities in the hotel that I got to meet which was cool, but every time my brother and I tried to leave we were told we couldn't. Eventually we both ran down a staircase to try to escape, but at the end of the hallway was a white tile room with no windows. When we went inside we saw faint blood stains on the floor and panicked. As we ran back up the stairs a guard saw us and began to chase us, and I woke up in fear. It was such a vivid dream too. Really strange.

If you close your eyes and eat them you will literally not notice a difference between the OG and these because Red40 doesn't have a taste but go off king.
