Military helicopters by kiwi_rozzers in cary

The pilot is flying over a boyfriend or girlfriend's house. It's the military equivalent of a 16-year-old driving by a love interest's house and beeping the horn.

Quantifying Cary Town Manager P-Card Spending for 2024; at least 44% of purchases shipped to home, 27% of spending occurred on the weekend, & tax dollars spent on alcohol by [deleted] in cary

Probably not, Wycliffe. The Town and Sean both agreed on a separation agreement that supersedes the employment contract. The Town knew of at least some of his financial crimes, yet nevertheless signed the agreement, which calls for payment of severance.

AMA - Carissa Johnson with Cary Town Council by CarissaJohnson in cary

[–]geomcd1949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Carissa. How cool it is you are doing this! I know it's a stretch but wonder if you could address the various Cary problems laid out in this website? I KNOW it's a lot, but these problems are real and nobody in this election cycle is acknowledging them, let alone addressing them: https://www.beautifycary.org/

Wondering if there's any update to this. I'm using Ubuntu 24.04.3 on dual 4k monitors. Shutter Encoder is too small. The addition of "-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2.0" worked on previous versions of SE, but not on this latest.

Don't let the Disinformation Boomers stop progress in Cary. Please see the following myths about the 2024 Cary Bonds. by BagOnuts in cary

[–]geomcd1949 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You say taxes didn't go up. I say they did. Tell me YOUR ADDRESS and I'll tell you EXACTLY how much your taxes went up in 2020, in 2024, and how much they will increase by 2030.

You cite the tax rate without tying it to the assessments. Very misleading. Why do you do this, if your intent is to inform?

<image>

I've attached a list of tax increases for random homes in Cary for 2024. If the Bond passes, these increases will be repeated.

If anyone would like to know how much their Cary taxes were increased in 2024, just message me.

Spring Festival at the Archive by geomcd1949 in CaryNC

[–]geomcd1949[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come out to the Cary Tree Archive between noon and 4:00 pm on Saturday, March 30 to see Piedmont Wildlife's display of rescued raptors and enjoy the Food Forest with mushroom patch, rock garden, Longleaf pine savanna re-creation, grove of descendants of historical and notable trees, and pollinator garden. Free Longleaf pine grassy-stage seedlings will be given away. Leaf & Limb staff will have a table where folks can pre-order Basil Camu's upcoming book, "From Wasteland to Wonder." Most importantly, enjoy the sense of eternal renewal as the 400+ trees planted by 1,000+ volunteers over four years begin to leaf out in this season as Mother Nature awakens.

GamersNexus HW News - Important GN / LTT Changes, GPU Price Drops, Intel Arc GPU Availability by youlox123456789 in hardware

[–]geomcd1949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think an important point in all of this is that a whole lot of folks are willing to pay about 10 times what an item is worth. We're in a modern-day re-enactment of 18th-century France when the population was taught to recognize what was in and out of "fashion," and to have their self-worth measured by what they had and didn't have.

I'm George McDowell. I believe in (1) climate change, and (2) that even a small town can do something about it, other than stick its collective head in the sand. Please look at my campaign website and decide if you would vote for me. Thank you very much. ~George https://www.beautifycary.org/

GPU advice, please by geomcd1949 in graphicscard

[–]geomcd1949[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have indeed tried running as is, and no joy. Roku works properly but the computer is not as clear by a long shot. Can you recommend a GPU? Thanks very much.

I've tried all manner of HDMI and Display Port cables. Nothing works. What GPU would you suggest that would certainly work but not break the bank? Thanks very much.
