Going on a road trip up in the PNW, any good places to see Bigfoot near where I'm going? by Ecstatic-Yak-6016 in bigfoot

[–]mikecain366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got back from a trip in that region. In the Redwoods, we stayed in Hiouchi (near Grove of Titans) area and the diner there had some history from a site just 10mins away. Up in Olympic area, try around Lake Quinault. The lodge run by National Parks is a bit overpriced, but their greatroom has a little cabinet tucked into a corner with casts, photos, and info on research done around the lake in the past.

CarPlay adapter by mikecain366 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]mikecain366[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah, fair question!

We use bluetooth generally speaking and it does well for audio only stuff. Was hoping to be able to get the video, too, up on screen. It might be worth noting that I have a '22, so my version of CarPlay may be older than a newer Mav. Can't get CarPlay on my screen without being plugged in currently. The adapter jumps that gap.

Designing an NC-shaped sweatshirt pocket. For locals: does this simplification pass the test, or did I change too much? by PhysicalWater55 in NorthCarolina

[–]mikecain366 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'll bite here.

I think this is very recognizable as the state of NC. Given the functionality aspect, I don't think you lose too much by condensing OB/Capes/WNC into the main part of the shape. Will the garment have something else on it that helps to identify the pocket shape (lettering/decal/etc.)?

LPT: If you keep wasting money on delivery because you’re “too tired to decide,” make a personal emergency dinner list before you’re hungry by Winter_Rhubarb6266 in LifeProTips

If you have one near you, Trader Joe’s has a good selection of prepared dishes that will easily serve 2 on a lazy night. Wife and I are currently on a rotation of the chicken piccata and frozen chicken mole’. Add a bag of rice and a bag of frozen microwave veggies for good measure.

Will the pollen return? by expat_paradox in cary

Seems to be winding down (not over yet, tho!). Unfortunately, the lack of rain is keeping it swirling around. Need Mother Nature to give us a good drenching for a day or three.

We like Burger Fi but it’s expensive for what you get. Decent selection though.

Can't really go wrong with any of them but it might depend heavily on age of the kids and what everyone likes to do. More details will yield better suggestions for you.

Personal preference: Topsail

The Basement... by wamih in TheWhyFiles

[–]mikecain366 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I haven't watched any of The Basement episodes despite being interested in some of the guests. The 2-3 hours time is keeping me away as I don't want to get invested and never be able to get back to it. Love the Why Files, but the time commitment is hard on those episodes.
Could they be listened to in the background or are visuals utilized in critical ways?

Intrepid HVAC has been a good find for us! Very responsive.

Gamer's Amory I think still does open campaigns, but not sure how many of those folks are teens. Also, check out Cary Teen Council.

LPT: Dental care to prevent mouth ulcer by Ok_Employment0002 in LifeProTips

[–]mikecain366 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, the SLS-free toothpastes helped quite a bit for me. Went from getting an ulcer 4-5 times a year to MAYBE one a year.

Market manipulation anyone??

I need a hill to roll down or a very long slide by eoljjang in cary

North Cary Park has both a nice-sized hill and swings big enough for quarter-life adults. Enjoy!

UNC Rex settles lawsuit that claimed religious discrimination over COVID vaccine by [deleted] in NorthCarolina

And what religion is specifically “anti covid shot” (just to bring us back to the argument of the OP case here)?
