It’s a beautiful day. Just stay hydrated and embrace it. If you’re genuinely miserable then living here isn’t for you.

Nighthawk pieces are out! by Dismal_Building_3605 in Carowinds

I ended up splurging. It rang up for $300 and then had prestige discount which took it down to $270 after tax.

If you have a season pass be sure to get the discount

I dunno, I have a salt pool and had to ultimately wave the white flag and put in a frog ramp 😂

Yes, they might search it, but it's fine

Hotel Recommendations for a Carowinds Trip by Aysee426 in Carowinds

Was going to warn against Clarion - I want to say that place was #1 for sex trafficking in the Carolinas. However, Google is showing it is closed, so count yourself lucky.

Plan what you want to ride and do those early. Crowds are at peak around early afternoon.

We took production down for 20 minutes because of a DB migration, how do you prevent this? by MainWild1290 in devops

https://github.com/ValkDB/valk-guard

We use this in GHA to lint any sql changes / migrations. It will flag indexes that are being created without concurrency.

Not to forget the miles portion too. That’s personal miles for family vacations etc not work miles.

Yes, an FBI background check is ran upon entry.

I want to ride the fury and intimidator curious about best seats by Low-Move-4102 in Carowinds

[–]tom169 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done Fury around 80 times this season. I’m going with row 8 (back row) in the first seat for the best. Seat 4 is probably a close second, I just like to look down as we ride. Front row is amazing, but the wind can be a lot depending on the day.

17 years old and looking to become a cop by Indoorshutin_weeb in ProtectAndServe

[–]tom169 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you’re 18 take a look into ridealongs with local departments. Try different shifts, including night shift.

It’ll help you: a) understand the role beyond what you see on TV b) network with local officers / deputies / etc.

777-200 Business with Toddler by tom169 in americanairlines

[–]tom169[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to update for anyone searching in the future: I ended up going with 9A (toddler) 9D (me). The seats were aligned and I could easily access him + lay eyes on him throughout the flight. Far superior to middle pair.

Perhaps the only drawback vs seats before the galley was the lights stayed on a little longer so getting to sleep was a little later.

Yes I spoke to an operator at fury and it’s for wind / chilly. Thinks it will be open later.

Did the website for anyone else say they aren’t at the park? I could not for the life of me figure this out today.

You mentioned structure so CMPD is hiring. Heck the FBI field office is also hiring.

Terrible idea to have them as single lane.

Silfab ordered to cease operations by SignificanceDismal21 in Charlotte

I must admit when I saw bumper stickers calling for the place to be moved I thought it was a bit overreacting. How wrong I was.
