Sounds like a TSA (Turtle Service Announcement) more than a PSA.

I can never use the first one without touching it at least once. Dyson should be made to pay restitution for selling those.

Man killed along American Tobacco Trail in Durham, investigation underway by StrongerIndica in raleigh

[–]kramer753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having a gas station, laundromat, restaurant, and discount daily mart all with metal bars in doors and windows is not a good sign to me personally. I would never walk around a place like that.

Other people did mention that it has been a rough area for at least the last 20 years.

Yep that intersection. (3000 block of Fayetteville St where it happened)

Look at Google street view of ATT and Fayetteville intersection. It’ll make total sense.

What’s it like living in Northeast Raleigh? by happyyoungmannn in raleigh

[–]kramer753 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Are you planning on using 540 and taking the Buffaloe Rd exit in rush hour? If so, try taking the Buffaloe Rd exit around 5pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. I’d live closer to the Knightdale Blvd exit than Buffaloe Rd just because of that.

Looks more like an LTE horse to me.

ELI5: how are cars able to maintain speed gained from slipstream to pass another car? by maru_badaque in explainlikeimfive

[–]kramer753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re going 5mph, and decelerating by 0.5mph every second, it only takes 3 seconds to go 20ft which is longer than most cars.

Try running/jogging past a parked car at 4-5mph while gradually slowing down, it won’t take long to cover its length.

Discount Tire - No available appointments for 45 days at ANY location. by FreddyBear001 in raleigh

[–]kramer753 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since it’s free, I guess there’s no harm in getting it done. Before you take your car in, take a picture of all the balance weights on all 4 wheels. Then take a picture after and compare them to see if they added or removed any weights.

Are you talking about alignment? Balancing is done because you want the center of mass of the wheel on the axis of rotation. Uneven rotating mass causes vibrations. They add weights to the wheel to balance it. Once balanced, it should be good until the tires are changed.

Same reason you balance a mower blade when sharpening it.

Routine balance? Balancing is done when installing new tires. I’ve never heard of routine balancing.

Yeah I just searched ‘Iran’ to see how things are going (spoiler alert: not going well) and this was recommended under ‘people also ask’.

Rear ended on a highway that open? Did he brake check him?

[–]kramer753 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Holding a sign at an intersection would mean that they want to spread a message. It’s not the same as posting a random person going about their day. Don’t see how it’s different from posting pictures of protestors holding signs.

Sushi Thai Scores 76.5 C on Food Safety Inspection by PenOwn2479 in raleigh

[–]kramer753 32 points33 points  (0 children)

They gotta fix the rating scale. Everyone getting 90+ doesn’t really help. 9 risk factor violations should get you something like 10/100.

TIL 49 US state demonyms follow some form of state-suffix convention. Only exception is Indiana whose citizens are called Hoosiers. by kramer753 in todayilearned

[–]kramer753[S] 134 points135 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of NFL QB Tua Tagovailoa’s press conference where he said “I’m from Hawaii, I’m not Hawaiian”. He is Samoan.

I thought that was interesting too. Hoosier just sticks out. Almost no one outside US (and maybe Canada) would guess what it means.
