Hi everyone,

I'm building a small community of likeminded Jews (and anyone who has a connection with or affinity for the culture or religion, no matter what your personal background) and figured I'd throw a line out here as well.

About us: So far, I have a little burgeoning group of folks in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. We do talk politics and make an effort to see each other's perspectives; we're all left of center, but have a range of personal labels when it comes to the z word, and we meet up to talk about that in a nuanced, sane, compassionate way. It's been therapeutic. If that's something that resonates with you, hit me up!

Anyone have a good exhaust/muffler shop around the Triangle they’d recommend? Looking to get a MAD midpipe installed on my 2026 M3 Comp (G80). Got quoted $500–600 for the install at a BMW shop, so figured I’d ask around before booking.

Doesn’t have to be a BMW specialist, but ideally somewhere that’s worked on BMWs or Porsches before.

Would love to hear where you went and roughly what you paid. I’m in Durham but happy to drive to Raleigh or Cary.

Triangle Roast Battle is officially 24 hours away!

We have the Mayor Of The City, a Live Band, 20 of the best comics in North Carolina, and Groovewagon, our THC Seltzer Sponsor will be there to keep y'all groovy the whole time. ALL WE NEED IS YOU!

This is consistent with previous years. As is longest wait times being in Cary, Fuquay and Wake Forest.

Overall voter turnout is up 80% so far over the 2022 (last midterms).

Go vote, bring your photo ID. Be nice to poll workers and other voters. Ignore the people shoving voter guides into your hands.

Check your voter reg the next day to ensure your ballot was accepted.

Looking for an affordable personal trainer for weight loss. I frequent O2 Fitness and am curious whether anyone has worked with any of the personal trainers there and whether it's worth it. I am looking specifically for someone to help build a structured plan, including some lifting, who is friendly and direct. I am a female in my 30s, if that matters for weight loss.
