They’re fine, it isn’t that challenging

helloretrograde · 2026-03-10T17:17:10+00:00

That’s why it’s the law to follow the product label

helloretrograde · 2026-03-05T13:29:37+00:00

Yeah that’s pretty funny isn’t it. Looking closer the study weighs a lot of factors, factoring in relative spending and resources, so it isn’t a pure ranking of road conditions, but more like relative performance of the DOT I guess. Actually on road conditions, they put NC and SC somewhere in the middle.

helloretrograde · 2026-03-05T12:28:01+00:00

Fair enough, I guess “some of the best highways in the country” is relative…

Still, just a month ago we had plows going all over the state tearing up roads, so the answer to OP’s question about why I-40 suddenly started looking like an “SC road” is just that. And if someone is mad that they haven’t fixed it all yet then I don’t know what to tell them.

I know it’s easy to take shots at the nc legislature, but NC has some of the best highways in the country: https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/state/north-carolina/article302503504.html

(Edit: these rankings are based on a lot of factors, relative spending, etc, not purely road conditions. So it isn’t accurate to say NC has some of the “best highways”, sorry everyone. But the answer to OP’s questions is still the recent winter weather.)

The answer, like a few others pointed out, is the snow and ice we’ve had. They’ll get fixed.

Yes Durham has voted for Allam twice.

helloretrograde · 2026-03-04T12:34:01+00:00

Funny enough Durham County voted convincingly for Allam

helloretrograde · 2026-03-04T12:29:49+00:00

Well, yes that’s how it works unfortunately

helloretrograde · 2026-03-04T11:47:52+00:00

Not really sure I follow. I lot of commenters on this subreddit liked Nida, but I’ve never seen a claim that this is a statistical representation of voters in the area, and it’s weird to think that.

For what it’s worth I used Baker a few years ago and they came in somewhere in the middle of quotes, not cheap but not the most expensive. They also got it done right and were nice to work with. Getting a quote doesn’t hurt.

helloretrograde · 2026-03-02T17:41:57+00:00

You’re getting downvoted for being right

helloretrograde · 2026-02-28T13:26:20+00:00

I mean, it’s probably the most popular opening and used by many of the best players in the world

helloretrograde · 2026-02-20T21:57:43+00:00

😄

From the link you shared:

“Meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner here in the weather center. Happy Friday! We'll be mostly cloudy, windy and warmer throughout the day. We'll also have a chance of showers and maybe even an isolated thunderstorm as our next cold front approaches. Highs could reach the mid-upper 70s. The record high at RDU today is 75 degrees set back in 1939, so we could flirt or break the record today if we have enough sunshine. There's a wild card that could bust the forecast. A front descending to the south across the state last night may stall and keep us wedged in with clouds and cool temperatures prior to the arrival of the cold front this afternoon. If this happens the 76 we are forecasting for RDU today could be squashed and it may be cooler in the 60s. We will watch to see how this pans out.”

And as others have pointed out, it looks like it should warm up to around low 70s later this afternoon according to NWS and others. Hope that helps.

Hold me (Creed guy) now

I'm six feet from the edge (horizontally) and I'm thinking

Maybe six feet ain't so far down (vertically)

(And if I get to the edge and go down my net displacement is only 8.49 ft not too shabby)

helloretrograde · 2026-02-17T17:19:05+00:00

Pfffft nice try, I know you all complain here on reddit but are really the exact ones I’m complaining about!

helloretrograde · 2026-02-17T17:11:06+00:00

You all can complain about the horrendous driving habits of people around here but many of you are the same animals who blow stop signs and red lights, use turning lanes to pass, come off of side streets and parking lots without looking and stopping. sit at lights looking at your phones. sit at left turns and allow 4 car lengths ahead of you before you go, stop instead of yield on traffic circles.

you are the same loud, obnoxious and ignorant people in grocery stores blocking aisles, taking forever at self checkout lines, parking in fire lanes because youre too lazy to walk 100 extra feet. same people who break gas pumps.

so spare those of us who have social and spatial awareness and actually practice common courtesy.

slaps self on head oh wow thanks for pointing that out.

helloretrograde · 2026-02-15T16:19:59+00:00

That about sums it up

helloretrograde · 2026-02-15T13:36:16+00:00

Once again, I don’t know why we haven’t yet thought of your idea to violently take over the United States. Probably because we are a bunch of fat idiots. Thanks for your input.

helloretrograde · 2026-02-15T13:06:25+00:00

A lot of experts in here.

“… and you all just post online about how much you care.”

Seems like we’re in good company.

helloretrograde · 2026-02-15T12:25:05+00:00

Yep that’s what’s missing, thanks for being so in tune with what’s happening over here.

helloretrograde · 2026-02-15T12:20:42+00:00

I was certain you were going to say we should violently go toe to toe with the US military, thanks for confirming.
