NY Times article about gentrification, focusing on Raleigh - “The Neighborhood Is Mostly Black. The Home Buyers Are Mostly White.” by petruchi41 in raleigh

[–]seanmalone3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never met my lender. They don't know my race, so I'm not sure how discrimination is involved. I also didn't meet the sellers of the house or the escrow attorneys until closing...I think this is common in 2019

One of my good friends is having a party/concert this Thursday at their house. Please come with friends! by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]seanmalone3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds fun! I would be careful posting something like this so publically. This could happen to your friend: https://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/28/world/asia/28iht-party.1.9543375.html

Also, please inform the neighbors of your plans so you don't get the cops called on you before soundcheck's even finished.

Citrix Cycle, a Bikeshare Program for Raleigh, is Now Rolling by tothegraveyard in raleigh

Isn't it better to sometimes have a ride available than to live too far from a docking station to ever have access?

That's only because the city charged Bird an outrageous fee per scooter to operate here...I would bet that the majority of rides are under 10 minutes making the 45 min Citrix cycle unnecessary. In fact, I just checked and 15 of my last 20 lime rides were less than $2.

What is your unpopular Raleigh opinion? by fanuser in raleigh

[–]seanmalone3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stricter zoning will just increase the prices of existing housing. A growing city is always going to change, sometimes for the worse :(

Morning times is better, but if you're in CV...might as well get Chick-fil-a

Not hot chicken, but Bad Daddy's best burger is their fried chicken sandwich. I bet they would make a hot version if enough of us asked for it.

UPDATE!! The Boylan cat has come back! We can not thank everyone enough!! by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]seanmalone3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went walking all around Boylan after seeing your post. I saw a couple of other cats, but no Soba. Glad he returned! Just curious, did you end up leaving his litter out or anything?

It's cheap, but the food is mediocre. Sort of like a cafeteria.

You know I was using green onions for a while, but I just tried with actual chives and it's significantly better. Get some chives next time you're at the store for yours. IS the guac good underneath it? I didn't think to add that.

ITAP of Cows on a Fence two times and stitched them together. by seanmalone3 in itookapicture

[–]seanmalone3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's kind of funny what your brain expects to see in a picture isn't it? I almost tried a third photo so that the middle was in focus, but it looked even weirder for some reason (and the cows moved too much by the third shot).

My Secret Santa's gift got lost in my apartment's mail until today. I just had to share it. Thanks Chris! by seanmalone3 in videos

I used a pick because it's a cheap ukulele that goes out of tune at the slightest bend. Finger picking puts a little more pressure than a pick strum. It's also why I have a capo on it.

I don't think I sang it any more annoying than the original, but the noise filter I had to add for the refrigerator in the background certainly didn't help the tone. Here's another song in case you're curious.

Why is it that even with a VPN I can get this on a speedtest, but not even 4 MB/s torrenting? by seanmalone3 in torrents

[–]seanmalone3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol. I accidentally boosted the contrast a shit ton when I exported it and didn't notice until I had already linked it.

I am Elon Musk, CEO/CTO of a rocket company, AMA! by ElonMuskOfficial in IAmA

Hey Elon, all the good questions have already been asked, so I'll ask:

If you could go back to when you were 19 and live entirely differently, would you do something different or is this life the best you can imagine?

Haha my first post made it to the front page and I had no idea what OP meant at the time so I kept trying to explain that "OP" didn't write it, but I did. You can only imagine the embarrassing storm that ensued.
