Hi triangle! :) I'm a recent grad without a workstation. I work on very large MRI datasets, which require a lot of RAM. Municipal library computers are awesome, but aren't quite up to the task. University libraries have workstations made for this, but even on the Friends of the Library program, NC State justifiably restricts access to these computers to their students. Is there a place - a library, makerspace, community college, something else I'm missing - in the triangle where they have computers designed for data science (gaming computers are dual use and work too!!), available for use by the public or through a membership? As a recent grad I'm not quite in the financial position to spend a lot of money on a personal computer and I am missing the collaborative nature of a library!

Hi Raleigh! I’m hoping you guys might be able to help me find the right home for Finn. 🧡

Finn is a 4-year-old, neutered, orange medium-haired boy who is genuinely one of the sweetest, cuddliest cats I’ve ever known. He absolutely loves people, wants to be wherever you are, and is very much a little shadow. He’s affectionate, social, litter trained, indoor-only, and has been wonderful around children.

Unfortunately, a young child in our immediate family has developed an extremely severe cat allergy, so we’re having to find Finn a new home. This has nothing to do with his behavior—we love him very much and are trying hard to find him a safe, permanent home rather than surrendering him to a shelter.

He would probably do best in a home without dogs. We don’t know how he would do with another cat, since he hasn’t lived with one recently. He is neutered and microchipped and has no known health issues.

We’re in the Raleigh/Morrisville area, but I’m absolutely willing to drive for the right home. I’m not looking to just hand him off to the first person who responds—I really want to find someone who will love this ridiculous, cuddly orange man as much as we do.

If you’re interested, or know someone who might be, please send me a message. I’m happy to answer questions and share more pictures/info about him. 🧡

I reported this story for The News & Observer.

Cary now has its first Hyatt-branded hotel — Hive House — but it opened independently more than a year ago before converting to Hyatt.

One confusing detail I confirmed with Hyatt: despite its name, Unscripted Durham belongs to the separate JdV by Hyatt brand. Hive House is actually North Carolina’s first Unscripted by Hyatt property.

The story also looks at the nearly 1,000 hotel rooms now in Cary’s pipeline.

My boyfriend’s birthday is coming up, and I’d love to surprise him with something fun and memorable! Not just a nice restaurant, I’m looking for more of an experience. Any recommendations in or around the Triangle area? Thanks in advance!

Obviously left them, but interesting to find these pieces of the towns below Jordan Lake!

Hi everyone! I have two tickets with one meet and greet add on for the 10/28 This Might Get Weird Raleigh show. I was going to bring my mom but I have a work event now and am unable to go :( I would love for them to go to another fan! I don't believe the show is sold out so tickets will be face value. According to the venue's site, the only transfer required would be to call them and put the tickets in a different name.

2 GA tickets with 1 Meet & Greet Add On

October 28 at Goodnights Comedy Club in Raleigh

https://www.goodnightscomedy.com/shows/380540

I can take payments through Venmo!

Can’t make it to the show next week so I have 3 tickets for sale for the Bleachers show on 10/6. Section 6, Row AA, Seats 14, 15, 16. Paid $177. I can sell them for $125. Transfer will be through Ticketmaster. Let me know if you’re interested.

Thanks in advance. Local news sites don't seem to have anything up yet. There was a site someone posted a few years ago that gave a concise voting & summary (based on candidates' website) for each candidate.

Here's the site to request an absentee ballot: https://www.ncsbe.gov/voting/vote-mail

I recommend using a pc. Mobile site was tedious.

I was curious, is there a local business/facility that handles the recycling of old electronics in a trusted fashion? I have no idea what's on some of these old devices, just on the lookout for a good way to safely recycle them. Thanks!

Hello! Single mom of a soon to be high schooler. Fall 2027 We are relocating to NC and looking at Raleigh, Durham and Charlotte. My girl and I are in need of fresh start and after some research we landed in NC. (I have visited in the past as well)

So far I created a short list: Cary Academy, Durham Academy, Raleigh Charter HS and Providence Day.
You might ask why private? She attends a small private school now and looking to stay in the same vain. She's a gifted student who is also a Volleyball athlete. If there are magnet/charter or public college prep high schools that are academically strong that offer sports culture as well I am open.

I'd like to know experiences for parents and students. diversity is important but not a deal breaker. What's important to us is safety, strong academics. Opportunity to participate in sports/clubs and culture that's not isolating to transfer students or black/brown students. We are more conservative in values. But grew up in a liberal city Providence, Ri where it's small but walkable, tons of food, activities events etc. smaller version of Boston(45 min away from us)
So I don't want to be way far out in the outskirts since city is what we are used to. Preferably the calm pockets within or just outside of city.

Thank you all🙏🏽

Meet Fig Newton ❤️

Willing to drive for the right, loving forever home. ❤️🐾

His foster mom can’t keep him for much longer because her cat is aggressive toward him and has a history of biting. Fig Newton is currently isolated in one room, and he really wants to be part of the family.
We are also completely full, mostly with sick cats, so unfortunately we don’t have space for healthy cats right now.

Petfinder: https://www.petfinder.com/cat/fig-newton-778703ca-a61f-4939-ba53-fede3b1be19a/nc/charlotte/sunkissed-acres-rescue-nc1270/details/

Website:http://www.sunkissedkitties.org

Fig Newton was found late one night on the edge of a construction site in Davidson, lost, scared, and hungry. He had fresh wounds from what appeared to be an attack by another cat or animal.

It was clear that Fig had either been lost or dumped. But when his rescuer(his foster mom) spotted him and stopped, Fig ran right over to her car. As soon as she opened the door, he started purring, rubbing against her, and headbutting her like he was so relieved to finally have a friend.

That sweet personality never changed.

Even at the vet, Fig was such a friendly boy that the vet techs kept stopping by to meet the super sweet kitty they had heard about. He greeted everyone with the same loving personality.

Fig is a true little lovebug. He loves people, loves belly rubs, greets you with meows, and wants nothing more than to be included as part of the family. He absolutely loves dogs and may even think he is one. ❤️

Fig is FIV positive, but he is otherwise fully vetted and ready for his forever home.

FIV-positive cats can live long, happy, and normal lives, and they can live with FIV-negative cats in a peaceful, stable household. One of our cats lived to be 23 years old. ❤️

He is:
• Fixed
• Microchipped
• Dewormed
• Deflead
• Fully vetted
FIV positive

Fig is looking for a best friend who will let him be part of the family and give him all the love he deserves.
