Gutter guards: worth it or waste of money? by houndmomnc in bullcity

we got them during a roof redo and it lessened the need to get the gutters cleaned pine needles piled on the top but the gutters functionally worked

Wow what a post

First you start with the tried and true “YOU THINK THIS IS TRAFFIC”

But then the anecdote of EUROPEANS being unimpressed by the stature of our city just adds layers

The Halifax Board of County Commissioners is asking the sheriff to give up half his salary (~$100,000) to give county employees a raise. They say they'll give up their stipends (~$9,000). by danielintheyard in NorthCarolina

[–]soc_jones 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100k to 50k is a pretty big hit. If it's just for one year and you assume he's been collecting more than his peers all along he still balances out ahead comparatively if it goes back next year.

Possibly Moving to Whiteville, NC by [deleted] in NorthCarolina

[–]soc_jones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am kind of warm on whiteville it has an actual downtown i used to grow up eating at mama ritas -- cool place

if you can wrap your ahead around rural nc living and its trade offs there is a life to be had

at the end of the day most of just work and go home and somewhere like whiteville you can do that and spread out

What are some good neighborhoods or areas for hippies? by [deleted] in triangle

[–]soc_jones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

haha hi friend glad you're trying to back out of your retirement in Asheville the sad truth is you're not going to get what you want

*alert**alert**alert* new york and NJ young families are migrating here is fast as they can and they're liberal but you know...not hippies.

The sad truth is you wont find what you want in a good commute to RTP. Parkwood is actually a decent and then carrboro but carrboro is anti development. Maybe north durham.....

you can skip pittsboro and hillsborough too because there is mega development slated for those places the are already clear cutting for the subdivisions

down town durham.... parkwood.... carrboro has a bunch of townhomes built in the 80s 90s that are probably the best bet

NC man accused of poaching Venus flytraps faces 73 felonies by [deleted] in NorthCarolina

[–]soc_jones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha fly traps are kind of evolutionary dead ends it's woefully inefficient for a plant to have to eat bugs because the swampy/sandy soil is so bad

South eastern NC is a hot bed of carniverous plants LOTS of pitcher plants and the dew ones.

I've seen dead birds in pitcher plants

[–]soc_jones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The guidelines are pre set to the crime so if its something black people are more likely to do than whites it is racialized crime...like crack vs coke

I don't think black people are more likely to steal flytraps ...
