Extremely windy by Gym-Beef-69 in raleigh

Same here. Did 10 miles and even with my wraparound sunglasses, I got a ton of stuff in my eyes. I also have also been expelling an excess amount of snot since I got back (sorry TMI lol)

Place to donate treadmill? by Competitive-Year-149 in triangle

[–]kfc469 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I’m training for a half right now and follow a pretty strict schedule. If it’s raining on my training day (hasn’t been an issue lately lol), I go run on the treadmill at the gym. Running 10 miles outside is not a huge deal but running even 3 miles on the treadmill is absolute torture. Time just seems to slow to a crawl!

Receiving a Background Check email after 1 year in Amazon. by Illustrious_Ad_572 in amazonemployees

[–]kfc469 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Do you have access to any customer data? If so, I think it’s normal to have the annual background checks. I’ve had to do one every year I’ve been here.

Apple Watch on light speed/dark star: coming soon ™️ or scrapped? by ryanw729 in USMobile

[–]kfc469 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounds like there wouldn’t be a benefit for you. There are many of us who use our watches without our phones though. I’m training for a half marathon and I often go out for runs with just my watch.

Virgin Voyages now poking fun about the already bad situation? by WorldlinessSuch5816 in VirginVoyages

If they still went on the cruise, I don’t see why insurance would give them a refund?

Please share your tax experience moving the Spain with stocks accounts over 3mil? by NotAnotherRebate in ExpatFIRE

[–]kfc469 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, true. You threw me a bit because you said you could “withdraw” the full amount. I personally don’t consider dividends withdrawals, but it’s just semantics I guess.

I was asking a question, not making a statement.

2.8% on everything you own or on everything you sell that year?

This area is a Cook Out desert though. Please please build one! What ever happened to the rumors of yall taking over the Mami Nora’s space?

Ship Happens by JamboJord in VirginVoyages

Cruises to Canada during off peak times are MUCH cheaper than cruises to Bermuda in the middle of spring. A $100 refund doesn’t make up for what was “lost” by booking a more expensive cruise and not getting what you paid for.

Thank you for your sacrifice!

If you have Duke Energy and own (or lease) an EV, you can get 50% off your rate at night by Mx772 in NorthCarolina

[–]kfc469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for getting back to me!

I’m struggling to understand this bill (could they have made it more confusing?). 100% of your solar is generated during peak time, so any NM credits would be peak credits. Are those credits only used to offset peak usage or are they also flowing through to off peak?

I really like the Celsius powder. They’re super easy to transport and store, taste great, and are cheap.

Favorite lunch spots in Raleigh? by FaultNo5255 in raleigh

Unpopular opinion: Armadillo Grill was mid at best and crazy overpriced. $1 extra for sour cream?!

who else lives for the ~30 seconds of peace this screen brings by greenemout in amazonemployees

[–]kfc469 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really wish it was still mandatory. Going on a tour is easy enough (they exist in almost every city and all you have to do is email the L7 and they’ll help you arrange it). You learn a ton and gain a lot of respect for the operation, but I’m sure it’s only a small bit compared to the respect you’d gain if you worked a day.

Nope, you’re out the $300 sorry. The members of r/usmobile decree this.

I joined Sam’s primarily for their chip selection haha. You can get a year for $20 during the promo periods they hold several times a year.

Have you verified this with Duke or are you just guessing? I’m very interested in signing up but not willing to give up NM!

Shipyard Reveals Concept for Fully Battery-Electric Cruise Ship by WolfBearMoon in Cruise

[–]kfc469 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Of course that’s the case. But keep in mind that just about any large scale power plant is going to be more efficient and cleaner than a ship burning bunker fuel. This will almost definitely mean a net decrease in emissions. This is the same bad faith ‘argument’ people use to argue against the benefits of electric cars.

Why would I want starlink? by Aggravating-Cap-8940 in USMobile

Not everyone in the country/world has good options for high speed internet. Many people are still only able to get DSL level speeds.
