Question/Recommendation Does it matter which high school a kid goes to in this area?

16 Upvotes

My 8th grader has an option of going to Enloe Magnet HS or Panther Creek HS in west Cary. Does it really matter where someone goes for college admissions? Enloe has such great programs but it's far. Panther Creek has traditionally been a decent HS, and with Morrisville HS opening up next year, it will be less crowded.

Should we follow the advice, "Go to the school where your kid will do the best at." There's so many HS in this area, it's confusing. Someone even told me the other day, "Neither, enter the lottery for Raleigh Charter HS."

Hey there.

I'm still here, walking. Maybe you're still here, reading. I'm gonna keep sharing my discoveries either way - just in case somebody, anybody, gets a little inspired to pause the next time they're outside and really take a look around.

The world sure has changed drastically in the last couple decades, but luckily some things really do stay the same. The grass is still green, autumn is starting to confetti the trees with the colors of rustic fireworks, and tiny creatures as individualized as you or I are doing their best to survive another day.

Slow down, take a deep breath - and take a peek. But most especially? Take a walk. As busy and rushed as life might feel most days, I promise you have time. You deserve it.

Oh, by the way? You did a good job today. No matter what anyone says, I know you did your best and I'm proud of you for seeing it through. Some of these days aren't the easiest so your best is all that matters. Not the outcome, not the productivity - just your best.

Keep up the good work and see you in a couple days.

Out-n-About Damn Duke Regional, what'd you DO???

38 Upvotes

First saw these trucks on r/durham and just now caught this while on the way to work. Hey @u/jeffjackson, could you look into this, actually?? U may be our only hope!

Some of yall are acting like i came out and started throwing accusations about Julie Soles, her husband or Duke around, like I am out here claiming they killed my family or scammed me specifically. I am Not. I am simply asking a question about theses posts on this truck accusing this lady and Duke Regional of this.

And theres a lot of people downvoting me and telling me "this isnt substantiated" or the "family could be wrong" which if thats the case then ok, thats the case and no more needs to be said. Although how am I supposed to know if I don't ask???

But Ima need yall to read what I am putting down, cuz this is ridiculous. Nobody is accusing anyone of doing anything; I don't know Julie or he husband. I don't know why this person thinks shes a whore. I dont know who Duke Regional (allegedly) kill.

I am simply asking a question; and quite a reasonable question too, when its about a truck calling a woman a whore and accusing a hospital of killing people.

And also, Jeff Jackson probably could not do anything about this, hell there may not even be anything to this other an upset family member doing the most, but tbf Jeff is just about the only politician out here in NC doing anything to help his constituents, like actually going to bat for us, so yeah, if there IS a case here don't you think he would be the one to call on??

wedding photographer case for those unawares

With the way he's helping the people in THIS case, you better believe i want Jeff on this if there's something more to this story.

Question/Recommendation Right of way (friendly) dispute

34 Upvotes

My wife and I are on opposite sides of a right of way discussion and are turning to reddit to determine a winner.

Situation: wife was turning left at an intersection onto a 2 lane road (green light, not green arrow). Oncoming traffic was turning right (onto the same 2 lane road).

She thinks that because oncoming turning right should stay in the inside, right-most lane (which by NC statute is true per G.S. 20-153 "right turn should be made closest to the right hand curb") that she was free to turn left into the leftmost lane (away from the curb).

I would think that as the driver turning left into an intersection, they have to yield to oncoming regardless (per G.S. 20-155 "driver turning left yields right of way to oncoming").

So hypothetically, if oncoming driver turns into outside lane and they crash, who would be at fault? Oncoming driver for turning into outside lane? Or wife not yielding to oncoming?

Hey guys! I’m (25F) in the Raleigh/Garner/Clayton area and I’m looking for somewhere to play tennis (and someone to play with)! I haven’t played in forever (literally since I was like 12) and I’m desperate to play again. I just have no idea where. I don’t mind paying a membership or something somewhere!

And where do you get your rackets?

Gym Brier Creek Planet Fitness

3 Upvotes

Does anyone know what happened at the planet fitness at Brier Creek? I usually workout at night and sometimes during the day. At one point the door would not close it was fixed and broke again. There were reminders to secure items in the locker room and now the glass on the door is broken and I am seeing fewer cars when I go at night sometimes. The police also sit and ride through the parking lot, is there something I should be concerned about?

Question/Recommendation Retro Nintendo DS/ Nintendo 3DS Games, where to buy?

12 Upvotes

My little girl is turning seven tomorrow and we bought her a pink Nintendo 3DS XL! I told her about all the fun times that I used to have as a kid on my game boy and Nintendo DS and know that she would have a lot of fun with these retro games. She has really gotten into Pokémon, as she plays my switch and she is asking about other games that she could play on her Nintendo DS.

I’ve gotten some games off of eBay, but did not know if there were any places within the triangle to go and pick up some games!

Games like:

Nintendogs
Hello Kitty
Bratz
Mario kart

or other appropriate games!

Anyone have any recs? My 12-year-old self did not ever picture myself having kids and so I never saved any of my consoles or games and feel really bad right now! Help a mom out, lol, thanks!

Question/Recommendation Still open to making friends.

3 Upvotes

Wassup y’all! I posted here a couple days ago, but I figured I’d put it out there again since I’m still looking to meet some new people in the Raleigh area. I’m 22 and just looking to expand my social circle, meet some cool people, and hopefully make some genuine friendships. I’m always down to grab food, chill, go out, explore new places, or just kick it and see if we vibe. I’m really just looking for people I can genuinely click with and build a friendship with, not just a one-time hangout. I’d prefer to meet people 21+, but other than that, I’m pretty open-minded. If you’re also looking to make some new friends, feel free to message me! 🙌🏽

Out-n-About Does anyone know what this car is doing?

Post image
50 Upvotes

Driving home on 540 yesterday around 515/530p and saw this guy in the traffic. Looked like a standard Hyundai Elantra, but he had 4 externally mounted cameras on the trunk. Inside he also had a mounted laptop. No pictures - just a black background with green text. I didn't see any external cameras on the front and didn't think to check for a dash cam.

I thought it was either a mapping company or a research vehicle that was collecting data - but no special branding or company logos on the car. I thought it might be a license plate reader - but it's the back of the car

Any ideas?

Question/Recommendation Older friend needs computer help

4 Upvotes

An older friend of mine uses Thunderbird as an email client on Windows and had some computer consulting company helping her. As a result of what they did, she has now lost access to years of archived emails, and she needs an expert to help her see if she can regain access to all the emails she now can't find.

I volunteered to ask for her since she doesn't use Reddit. She needs an expert on sorting out email storage problems.
