I live just down the road in Walkertown but am in Winston and Kernersville all the time. I’d like to make a public comment at a council meeting in one of those areas regarding the urgent privacy concerns associated with the increase in Flock camera installations all over Forsyth County. My questions are below, I’ve already looked up most of them online, but for a few questions, I just wanted to confirm with others that the information I found is actually correct.

1. Can I make a public comment at a meeting if I technically live in the next town over but within the same county?

2. Do I sign up ahead of time, or can I just show up and request to speak then?

3. Which meeting allows you to make public comments? My assumption as of now is that I could speak at the Board of Aldermen in Kernersville as well as the Winston-Salem City Council, did I get that right?

4. When you make a public comment, is it supposed to be on a specific, predetermined topic designated for that day, or can you discuss any of your concerns for the general public?

5. How long can individuals speak about their issue(s)?

Thanks so much for any insight you kind folks can provide. If you have any additional information that you think might be useful for myself and others, I’m all ears! I’ve spent a long time protesting and advocating for causes I care about, but I must admit that, unfortunately, I haven’t had the opportunity to participate directly in local politics as much as I’d like. Hoping to change that real soon!

Oh, and fuck Flock. 💖🖕💖

Hey,

We just had a poor experience with a shop and decided not to move forward with work there. But unfortunately, I really need to get my spark plugs replaced this week.

I’d love solid recommendations for local shops you personally trust, especially from other women who’ve had good experiences. I’ve had some frustrating experiences with shops and would really appreciate recommendations for places that are honest, respectful, and provide good service.

Thanks ya’ll

This is the address to the camera shown in the video:

701 Hopewell Church Rd, Winston-Salem, NC 27127

How can a city council AND city police department not know there are Flock cameras in their city?

Trying to buy a whole turkey, or at least turkey breasts. Not the sliced deli meat kind, looking for an actual bird. Checked Whole Foods & Publix on Stratford, no luck. Frozen is fine.

Hey yall, I was just wondering if any of you guys know anybody that does soldering for consoles in stuff, was hoping to get a modchip soldered into my switch oled. If not that’s fine, I’ll ship it off elsewhere, thank you!

I mean this with no intention of hate but what is up with this place? Something just feels off. Downtown feels weirdly empty and dead, almost ominous. It looks so pretty but nothing is going on.

I went to a few local cocktail bars and restaurants, they’ve been empty. Staff were kinda sad and standoffish.

Literally see nobody out and about. Is this normal? It seems like this place should be a cute little town but it feels so unwelcoming

Edit : clarifying I have been here since Friday and am primarily referring to the weekend.

I’m 212 now but started at 240 with a 11:45 mile pace but now 9:30-10 minute mile but I want someone I can frequently run with maybe 1-4 miles with depending on the day. Lmk if that’s around your pace and down to get together. Doesn’t matter man or woman.

Hey everyone, I been out of work for a few months and spend most of my day in the house. I want to make some local friends to hang out and chill with, actual friends not looking for hookups. 34M
