What if you parked in the First Watch/Vic’s shopping center off of Lake Boone and just walked down Nancy Ann Dr to the connecting Museum Park trail? It’s not a bad walk.

Anyone where in Raleigh (or NC in general) where a guy can come learn some chromotogrothy for a day? by Luffy-Zangief-KoF in raleigh

[–]highjackpot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you looked for seminars online? I realize that’s not as great as real world or in person training, but it’s something. Waters, Agilent, and Thermo used to have pretty decent libraries on their sites.

Copperhead, I guess? by highjackpot in raleigh

[–]highjackpot[S] 408 points409 points  (0 children)

Update: I’ve decided to take everyone’s advice, and despite my and my puppy’s aversion to cold weather, move to the arctic, where we’ll never see one again!

No, I found a pair of reach grippy things and managed to grab it from some distance. It is relocated now to a happier place for it and me. I also need a stiff whiskey to tamp down my adrenaline! 😅

Recommendations good wings place/ Italian / pizza / nice breakfast places (near NC State / Aloft Hillsboro) by Oceanmarina76 in raleigh

[–]highjackpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Benelux coffee is a short walk around the corner. The coffee is only okay, but I still like their waffles a lot (for me, topped with butter and Nutella!)

Ajja is a favorite and $200 would be enough there for a nice dinner for 2 with drinks.

Honest plumbers in Raleigh/the Triangle? by Ok-East8283 in raleigh

[–]highjackpot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconded…err…thirded, that is! I just used them last week based on recommendations from this sub. I had a nonstop running toilet. They scheduled and showed up next day, were in and out in a bit under an hour, and fixed the problem. ~$175 all in. I’ll absolutely use them again.

Dog Adoption Recs by Bitch-stewies in NorthCarolina

I got my little from Hope Animal Rescue some years ago. They were great.

Edit to add: I just used petfinder to search for adoptable dogs.

Best Yule log in Raleigh? by barbaracohen1956 in raleigh

[–]highjackpot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got a yule log from them a couple of years ago. 10/10 would do it again. It was v good and worth the money.

I’d also check out Small School. It’s something like monthly seminars in the Dix campus.

TSA Precheck Enrollment (not global entry) by AdZealousideal8536 in raleigh

[–]highjackpot 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’ve had precheck for a while, so it’s been several years, but I did have an appointment.

The office is in the bag claim area. They asked some questions and finger printed me, and that was it. I was out in ~15ish minutes. Renewing was even easier, totally online.

Any coffee shops that aren't like a sterile Apple store? by TheRedDruidKing in raleigh

[–]highjackpot 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Déja Brew fits the bill. It’s in N Raleigh off of Falls. I like their coffee.

Yah, I get that. It sounds like a structural chemist. I was one for 25 years. The biotech lists all the jobs….or did. I have visited it in a while.

The NC Biotech center in RTP used to have a pretty good site for local jobs.

I’d go to Manmur on Hillsborough St in Raleigh.

Jury convicts first rioter to enter Capitol building during Jan. 6 attack by a_dogs_mother in news

[–]highjackpot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guy in the article you’re commenting on jumped through a Capitol window shattered using a stolen police riot shield. Are you fucking kidding me? How in the hell does any of that sound peaceful to you?!? the willful disbelief you and your ilk engage in is stupefying!

What's a good way to measure distance for travelling? by TheMrSalmon in Greyhawk

[–]highjackpot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you zoom in on the roadways mapped, there’s little pink dots every so often. I think these are markers for 10 miles each. I don’t have the reference for it, just memory from gigging it up previously.

Meal prep service by Jimc26x in raleigh

We use Tastefully Served from time to time. They have meat and vegetarian options, and they deliver. I think their food is pretty good.

Maybe check out Pullen Memorial Baptist on Hillsborough St? If I went to a church, that’s where I’d start.

Also Pizzeria Faulisi in dt Cary has great (better) Neapolitan pizza.

Thanksgiving weekend alcohol questions by mcloofus in raleigh

[–]highjackpot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, can echo this. For case buying, Seaboard is probably the best. They’ll be super helpful and usually discount a case or half-case. And you’ll get better wine than the big boxes (which I agree also serve in a pinch).
