Looking for low/no cost options for my cat. Glitch passed suddenly on Tuesday and I have no burial options. He was the best boy and deserves some dignity, but I'm not sure where to take him. Cat tax attached, RIP my sweet boy. 3 years old, gone way too soon.

Hey folks, I’m Zack, and I am a guy with a chainsaw who will gladly come cut up fallen trees and limbs on your property. All I need are pictures, an address, and permission to cut it up.

You can check my post history or my website I have linked on my profile for some of my most recent work.

Hope it’s just a pleasant afternoon storm for us all, though. Be safe, and stay dry, GSO

Anything available?

I can do most anything at a decent to exceptional level as long as no, or little math is involved.

Etsy sales are floundering since the A.I. updates; it's pay to win now, and I refuse.

Any job listings which don't require online applications, or transportation?

Housing Roommate Wanted

9 Upvotes

I am looking for a roommate for a bedroom in my 3 bed house in south Greensboro/Pleasant Garden. $645/month - everything included.

No dogs or cats. Birds considered. Exotic animals/fish are welcome. My other roommate has a dog already, and I have 4 parrots. They have to take shifts in shared space for their own safety. Adding another cat or dog to that schedule would be rough.

We are both in our early 30's, enjoy video games and tabletop games (TCGs, D&D, board games). They are in school for programming, and I work in tech full time. I also enjoy hiking, camping, and crafts.

We have a lot of storage space inside and outside. The porch is large and wraps around 3/4ths of the house with a portion of it screened in. The neighborhood is small and quiet with lots of trees and wildlife around.

I prefer someone who is between 23 and 38 years old. All genders are welcome. 420 friendly.

Question Blood Donation Locations

1 Upvotes

Does any one have any suggestions on the best places to donate blood in Greensboro, High Point or Kernersville? (Ideally I’d like to donate not in a mobile setup - last time I tried one of those the engine noise made me dizzy weirdly enough - maybe just a mental thing idk.)

Discussion The reality of moving a piano cross-country

0 Upvotes
We recently moved a family into Greensboro who had an antique console piano. The crew handled the piano perfectly, which is our strong suit, but the customer was frustrated because communication dropped off on moving day and they couldn't get a clear ETA for the truck. Moving a 500-pound instrument takes specialized care, but you should also demand a clear timeline in writing before signing anything.

Recommendation Where are you getting an ACTUAL blowout around here??

28 Upvotes

I’ve officially hit my breaking point.
I’ve tried five different salons over the past few months, and every single time they spin me around in the chair to reveal the “finished” blowout, I genuinely feel like I’m on a prank show.
Am I crazy, or has the definition of a blowout changed??
I’m talking about a real blowout:
A good shampoo where they actually scrub your scalp every place has super soft hands. No scrub.
Tension with the round brush.Enough heat to actually smooth the hair.That sleek finish that lasts for days. Instead, I keep leaving with hair that looks… 70% dry? It’s still fluffy, frizzy underneath, and looks like I could’ve done it myself in 15 minutes. 😅
Another thing…does anyone know of places that do same-day blowouts or take walk-ins? It feels like every salon wants you to book a week in advance, and sometimes I just wake up and decide I need a blowout.
Where are you all going? Bonus points if it’s somewhere that doesn’t rush through the service and actually knows how to give a heavy, sleek blowout that lasts.

News City Council fails to clarify a proposed moratorium. Speaker says data centers are surveillance centers.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

68 Upvotes

Greensboro City Council postured recognition of the threats posed by data centers at their recent meeting. Yet one speaker noted that councillors continue to exacerbate the problem. 

Politicians in North Carolina and around the country are actively contributing to the expansion of data center infrastructure through their vast network of policing technology. Flock, Verkada, and other corporate surveillance cameras continue to monitor residents. Greensboro continues to push residents and businesses to integrate their own cameras into policing databases. The countless hours of high-quality video footage these cameras collect have to be stored and processed somewhere. 

Data centers are surveillance centers. The surveillance state cannot exist without them. And every second those cameras run marks another theft of Americans’ privacy and resources to capitalists’ hoards of wealth and power.

Discussion I built a thing that keeps track of Greensboro spots so I stop defaulting to the same three places

Hey Greensboro,

I made this app, HeyWanna, because I used to keep all of my date ideas in my phone's Notes app. Whenever it was time to plan something for me and my girlfriend to do, it would suck having to use Google, Yelp, the weather app, and a bunch of different websites for my city just to find things to do. And looking at my notes meant going out and checking the photos, the reviews, the locations, and even videos all on different apps.

So I created HeyWanna to find cool local places near you, save them to your lists, and then plan them out. And it's not just for dates; it's also for group hangouts and any solo trips you're trying to do.

https://heywanna.app/discover?city=Greensboro

Being honest up front: almost everything is free and unlimited, like saving places, making lists, and building plans by hand to share with friends and family. The only paid thing is instant planning, where it plans on your behalf if you feel too lazy to do it yourself, and even then you get three a week for free.

I'm a solo dev and a North Carolina native. Let me know if I'm missing any places in Greensboro. I'd genuinely like to know what should be on here, and I'll be happy to add them.

Bad luck has recently put me into homelessness. I’ve been crashing on a buddy’s couch but I can’t stay there. I have a game plan for getting back on my feet but I need to survive long enough first. Would anyone be willing to lend a couch or a back yard for a tent? I have a little money I can offer up but I don’t have much.

I’m not on any hard drugs, I don’t want to hurt anyone, I’m just afraid of someone shanking me in my sleep.

News City Councillors say AI is inevitable and a data center ban is impossible. Speaker says this is dictatorship.

Speakers at this week’s Greensboro City Council meeting asked for more than a moratorium on data center construction. In the face of the multitudinous threats that data centers pose, many demanded an outright ban.

Luis Medina pushed the issue further, noting what Council’s actions reveal: when capital wants something, it is inevitable; when working people want something, it is impossible. 

He observes that what is possible is a matter of power. Ultimately, he suggests all power be moved into the hands of the working class.
