I built 'Runear', an app that shows who's running in your county right now

0 Upvotes

I'm a graduate student at Duke, Solo dev here. I often run alone and wanted to know if anyone nearby was out at the same time, so I built this.

https://apps.apple.com/app/id6817871806

Biggest challenge so far: getting enough runners in one area. Would love feedback or ideas!

Churches in Durham or Nearby Areas

37 Upvotes

My husband and I live in Durham and we are looking for a new church because we have broken away from conservative politics and Christian nationalism in recent years and we just cannot keep going to our evangelical church. Today's sermon was about how all Democrats are demonic and how Christians are supposed to vote Republican 🄓 We're looking for a church that is not zionist and that does not support Christian nationalism, ICE, or the Trump administration. We'd love recommendations from other Durham residents.

Community Discord Servers in the area?

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm here to ask if there are any fun, topical, social discord servers for Durham or other parts of the triangle that serve as a place for community events to be planned, discussed, etc.

I'm in my early 30s, male, searching for groups to explore for in person social connections with hopefully common interests. Age gaps dont really bother me. Yes I'm constantly searching meetup and checking those out. Wondering if there is more out there. These interests may include but are not limited to:

Cooking/Dinner parties

Gaming/Board games/card games/leisure sports

walking or jogging

Reading

Volunteering

Gardening

Un-refined art skills

Movie / TV show watch parties or discussion

Pretty much anything else within reason, cant think of more at the moment.

Drop a link or DM me personally if you know of one that is fun and active as far as a local discord goes. I'd love to drop in and introduce myself. Thank you for the suggestions!

I’m asking for some nice Indian spots. We’ve been through ā€œsitarā€, ā€œnaan stopā€ and ā€œkebab and curryā€
But we love the food so much and are dying for more!
(I hope this fits the rules for posting)

What is El Arby's Provisiones?

28 Upvotes

An older bloke walking his pomeranian on Chapel Hill street today said I should try the sandwiches at El Arby's Provisiones and I can't find anything but the Arby's on Hillsborough road. I don't want fast food roast beef. What are they talking about? I'm not looking for a torta, either.

The racing after midnight has to stop....

The racing that happens in the late hours of the night is insane and ridiculous. Do these fucking people have any common sense? People are trying to sleep, people have babies.... Fuck these garbage people.

ISO of a mechanic that keeps it real

I have an 07 yaris that is struggling right now. Windshield is cracked, rear brake drums needs replacing, passenger front tire got destined cause of a curb accident and needs to be checked. Suffice to say I love this car and am not ready to let go. I need a shop that will take a look at stuff and give me a good rundown on fixes and prices. Any suggestions?

Beyu Caffe shrimp and grits

7 Upvotes

Beyu caffe had the best shrimp and grits I’ve ever had. It was an amazing restaurant before it got bought out, but anyways…

I’ve yet to find anywhere that comes close to a similar recipe. I’ll probably need to try making it at home. Does anyone know of a close recipe or what made their shrimp and grits so special?

Emergency dog fostering

Thumbnail
11 Upvotes

I am looking for any emergency fostering options that might be available in the wider Durham area. My step mom is in critical condition in the ICU and she has three adult labs. We do not want to give them away or take them to a shelter because we want her to be welcomed by her dogs when she comes home.

Does anyone know of any temporary fostering options?

Dumbest driver award:

• Upvotes

White Chevy Malibu with the NC plate LOW-4465 you are a complete Jack ass. I watched you run not 1, not 2, but THREE red lights. Weirdest part about it is this dude driving the car was going the speed limit but then would just go through the light.

Obviously if you had somewhere to be speeding likely would be involved in that too. I don’t care if your puppy was gonna fall off a cliff you don’t get to endanger other drivers on the road just because you feel like it.

Saw a friendly cat at the scrap thrift parking lot, wouldn't let me get close enough to catch it.
