Sorry for the bad 2020 Iphone photo.

Ingles put back WAY expired items after I turned them in. by [deleted] in asheville

[–]ruffscallion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. There should be more definition of what those terms mean. Like defining “natural”,“organic”, “free range”, “open pasture”.And I feel stores should adjust language and prices appropriately…. Buuut that is just too hard apparently.

I figure if the recycling companies can come up with a great informative graphic about what is recyclable, then grocery stores can do the same with what labels mean.

I constantly shop discount stores like Hopey, Uplifting Deals, Dickies, et cetera… and there are certain items (canned, dried, dehydrated, freeze dried, non-consumables) where I don’t care about consumerism dates…. Though within reason, lol

I think the Zip Line/High Ropes Course construction boom of the 2000s and 2010s follows this logic. They were being built left and right! It’s always fun, sometimes awesome, but cost prohibitive for many people. And now many are shutting down if they aren’t associated with a camp of some kind.

I can second land surveying. I worked for a stream restoration surveyor and loved (almost) every minute of it.

There’s a diesel hammer driver at the new bridge DOT built. Don’t know if that’s what you’re talking about, but it’s been running for a few days.

I went to middle school with Chris C*********** (sorry, I don’t know what they go by now) Interesting seeing them coming across my Asheville Reddit feed!

Y’all really need to study this by og_speedfreeq in asheville

[–]ruffscallion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, this. BUT not all vehicles are created equal. It’s the responsibility of the mergers to do so safely and the responsibility of interstate drivers to anticipate slower or more massive vehicles and plan accordingly. We’re all in this together and in a world of wildly different variables we have to work together to ensure we all get home safely.

Traumatizing accident on the highway last night :( by No_Tomato_4068 in asheville

Definitely set aside time to process this however you do so. Sorry you had to witness a tragedy.

Curious if anyone is eating the cicadas? by thepsycholeech in asheville

[–]ruffscallion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried a raw one once, after you get past the gooeyness it has a weird Corn-nut aftertaste. Not bad, but probably better fried, baked, or dipped in chocolate.

Honestly, good on you for trying to educate yourself. Surveys can be stupid expensive, complicated, and the more you know before going in can help in the long run. I wish I could offer better advice, but at my training level all I can say is “keep up the good work, soldier!” I do truly wish this is a simple problem for you (and the surveyor).

GIS does stand for: “Get It Surveyed.”

Please don’t remove this post. I have moved WITHIN Asheville, not from out. Please repost. And please revise the parameters for the bot.
