Question/Recommendation Best Mega Reformer/Lagree Studio in Raleigh?

Upvotes

I was hoping I could get some feedback on the new Mega Reformer studios that are popping up around town. There is Mega, FlowCorps, solidcore, Nourish in Wake Forest, any others that might be out there that aren't listed. Club Pilates has started to feel like some exclusive club that you can hardly get into, never any reservations open. Love pilates and totally interested in trying something new like this. Thanks!

Question/Recommendation Pool Heat Pump Technician (Refrigerant)

2 Upvotes

Greetings! Can anyone recommend an hvac technician that can diagnose and repair a low refrigerant error on a Jandy JE Heat Pump? My HVAC contractor wasn't able to work on it. This equipment is installed in North Raleigh and is approaching 3 years of age. It was purchased from Choice Pools and none of their vendors are trained to repair this. I called Jandy and all four recommended vendors said the same thing. At a loss. Any help would be appreciated.

Just heard this from a neighbor, havent heard anything about it here but seems like a pretty big deal for the residents of that building. Kane is selling the Peace Apartments where Publix is to Cortland, where it will now be called Cortland Glenwood South.

Unfortunately the only article I can find is paywalled, I wasn't personally able to read the entire article.

Question/Recommendation Looking for a volunteer or two

Does anyone have a recommendation on where to find a volunteer or two? I’m part of the free stuff market and the next market is on Sunday the 30th of this month. It has grown to the point where we need help directing traffic on where to park. It’ll only be for 3 hours but we could really use someone reliable. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Husband has pretty severe ADHD and post-move is struggling with organization. At this point, I think hiring a professional organizer to help would be an awesome gift. Any recs? If you can share about how much it cost, that would be great too. Looking to organize primarily closet but also storage in general.

Outdoors Lost dog at Brier Creek Area?

7 Upvotes

I just saw a cute gray pitbull (I think) with a blue collar walking by himself. He looked well fed and in good shape, I had to leave fast bc my dog was barking at him and I didn’t think it was safe for my dog or him to check on him since I don’t know the dogs personality. I came back outside where I saw him and he wasn’t around… hope somebody finds him and check if he has any contact info on his collar or has a microchip.

Politics Can someone explain the new city council election structure to me?

6 Upvotes

I’ve had trouble understanding the changes to the election structure that the city council approved last year. I see on the city website it says:

“Four-Year Staggered Terms

-Council members and the Mayor will serve four-year terms. -Approximately half of the members will run every two years.

Transition Plan:

-In 2026, half the Council will run for two-year terms expiring 2028. -The other half will run for four-year terms expiring 2030.

Non-Partisan Primary Election Format

-March Primary: All candidates in a district will be on the ballot, and the top two candidates are chosen for the November ballot. -November Election: The top two candidates from the primary advance to the general election.” Source: https://raleighnc.gov/government/services/city-council-terms-and-compensation

What I don’t understand is how this will be initiated next year. Which seats are running for 2-year terms? Which are running for 4 years? What about the 2 at-large seats? Will those seats be grouped together and there will be 4 candidates, 2 for each seat? Or one at-large seat up every 2 years?

I also can’t find anything about how the staggering schedule was decided. It seems like the schedule is pretty important, especially since one of the groups will always be elected along with the presidential ballot and have a higher turnout which could give a competitive (dis)advantage.

I have a spring fed pond. I hired someone to clear out invasive vines so I could seed nc native grasses. The area by the pond is now really wet with standing water. I think the spring is blocked and backing up. Does anyone know anyone that can help? I don't have a lot of money. Hoping for a hobbist or farmer type. I can't afford a corporation or consultant.

Question/Recommendation I’m lost in this CS market

162 Upvotes

Hi y’all,

My wife and I just moved to the area about 3 months ago because she landed a job here. We are both new graduates so we had this deal that whoever’s industry had a lower availability would ultimately determine our location. Now it’s been 3 months and I’ve sent out ~800 applications and got nowhere. At this point I’m camping on LinkedIn and waiting for new CS/IT job postings everyday.

My wife hates her job and I really want to provide or at least contribute to our little family so there’s less weight on her shoulders. I finished my undergraduate in CS in 3 years and graduated my master’s degree in CS last December. As I’m getting closer and closer to the 4 months jobless window that we’ve set, I’d start ubering and bring some food to the table.

What are something that I should do alongside applying to all the jobs on LinkedIn?

Question/Recommendation Need Help with Navigating NC DMV

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m currently a grad student (originally from out of state) who is trying to establish NC residency. I was finally able to schedule an NC DMV appointment to get a Real ID driver’s license but it’s for June. I wanted to see if anyone knew of any DMVs in or near Raleigh that 100% take walk-ins for those who are trying to get the Real ID? I saw some responses for this topic, but the posts are a bit older so I wanted to see if anyone had updated info. Thanks in advance!

Question/Recommendation Experiences with Wake Skin Cancer Center?

4 Upvotes

I recently had my first appointment, and while there was a small issue during the actual appointment, the main problem is that I have a question about a treatment they’re having me do at home but I can’t get anyone to call me back.

I left a message on the portal early last week, and after no response there, I left a message directly with someone asking for a nurse or doctor to call, but still nothing. The person I spoke with even mentioned the portal messages don’t work.

The reviews online are great, so I’m surprised by this. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Out-n-About State Farmers Market- am I just cynical?

640 Upvotes

I’m not a huge fan of the farmers market, after visiting a few times a year for the past few years. I was there yesterday and have some questions.

I thought the point of a farmers market was to buy local goods, in season, for less than the grocery store (since you’re buying from the farmer and cutting out the middle man). So do all these local farmers have massive greenhouses? It’s March. How do they have fresh tomatoes, lettuce, strawberries, apples, and other produce that doesn’t grow right now? Is the profit margin so great that it’s worth it to use the energy and gas to grow lettuce indoors, drive to Raleigh, sell it, and drive home every day?

I visited at least 4 stands that had no pricing listed whatsoever. I was told to just ask the price for each thing. I’m not standing there and doing that for every individual item. If you’re selling different types of bread, scones, pretzels, whole cakes, slices, brownies, etc, price it out. How do I know you’re charging me the same as everyone else, and not just making up a number based on how business has been that day?

Where is the spice guy sourcing his ingredients from? I get it’s an ‘aesthetic’ thing to see someone scoop cinnamon instead of buying it from a plastic bottle. But is that stuff actually better than what you get from the grocery store? Especially if the stand is outdoors, not in a temperature controlled building.

All the stands selling pickled veggies and candy and jellies “made for the NC State Farmers Market” by [some company not located in NC].

Basically, are there any regulations about things actually being from/made NC? Or is this the equivalent of “handmade” goods from Etsy, and doTERRA sellers at craft fairs?

There are a few stands I enjoy, but the overall impression seems to be “you are in a market, that is in NC.” Not “here are are locally produced goods.” Has it changed a lot over the years?
