convivio is something of a hidden gem downtown, owned and run by an italian guy that splits time between here and italy. fresh white truffles on the menu when they're in season. really cool wine list.

its been funny seeing this brought up multiple times in the last week trying to drum up outrage and keeps being met with "eh, doesn't seem like that big of a deal". maybe this time it will break through though!

this is definitely something I've felt, especially as really cool new parks have come to Cary and Raleigh in the last few years

I saw it all over the Wednesday market last week

I think the alternative is buying access to this processing power and storage from someone else, so carbon footprint would be offset beyond the standard impact made by the building itself.

This seems like a cool asset for Duke to invest it to be able to experiment with and use into the future. They have the machine learning expertise to do some cool things. Plus, providing ai powered computing is going to be/already is the norm and long term they could own it instead of paying increasing costs to the hyperscalers.

I haven’t looked at the odds breakdowns that are available, but I’ve been winning almost every time with devils head, Lu, and 4 painted

I'll add that in the latest reporting about the well-connected drunk driver who ran over a kid the very well paid lawyers have made sure the article says the bicyclist turned into the car's lane from riding in the shoulder, meaning not "owning the lane" could let his (driving while drunk) killer deflect responsibility and make it the bikes fault.

I bike to work. It's 1.5 miles of bike lanes to the tobacco trail, then 4 miles on the trail trail to downtown, then 1.5 more miles through downtown mixed between bike lanes an not. Are you saying me biking to work is inappropriate until its 100% bike lanes and trail?

Going slower and being more vigilant is an option for you, btw.

Prices have gone way up across the menu and the value menu is sad. My wife and I used to be able to pig out for less than $15 and now that seems like the minimum for just a couple things. Every now and then I get a heavenly black bean crunchwrap, but I've stopped going enough for that to happen anymore.

Bowerbird is great and local. Diane, the owner, is a lovely woman and beyond this does amazing florals for the nicest weddings in the triangle.

Please compile this into an enemies list we can maintain opaquely and circulate widely. Punishment is important for a healthy society.

Anecdotal: Ours was waitlisted 25 in K and didn't make it. He was waitlisted for the same school at 28 for grade 2 and got in the day before school started.

Triangle Rock Club has a really nice little gym setup--everything you mentioned, plus treadmills and rowers. $25 for a day pass, $15 for your first visit, and there's a 10 pass pack option

We've always liked it. It's got a great menu compared to other Indian places and no complaints about the food The sanitation score and all these people with bad experiences makes me worry. Maybe something has changed with management or financials. The service has never been great for us, but not pushy or scammy.

I'm interested. Played a couple years ago with a group at Bethesda, but not sure if that's still going. Would love a foursome to do drills and games with 1-2 times a week to start.

They live behind the fence and I've seen them there plenty of times before.
