I know where you live and I know how to drop off delicious leftover food that has been kept in the danger zone for a suspicious (but still safe) amount of time!

I have a cat and they get on the kitchen counters when I'm not in there in search for food! 😼

But I also wipe down my counters with Lysol wipes before cooking and watch him like a hawk when preparing food.

So far, zero reports from friends and family (or me) of foodborne illnesses from my kitchen in all my years 🤞🏻

Right. Sort, soak (purge), de-beard, rinse/scrub, steam.

At the time, I figured that they kept running out of previously filtered mussels by the time I ordered them—thus the extra wait while everyone else got their food—and it was just a constant game of cutting corners. Except it kept happening and I gave up. I can only do so much understanding as a customer.

Now, I figure they were just cutting corners and betting on a calculated risk that only some people would complain about the sandy crunch between their teeth while the rest would be too nice to say anything 🙄 Except I don't pay to have sand in my mouth.

I'm a little sad but mainly for the older memories of when I enjoyed going to Max's on Broad.

The last three times I went (years ago), there was grit in the mussels both visit and I'd tend to get my meal like 5-10 minutes after everyone else got theirs. Two of those visits, I complained and they said they'd make me a new batch. Well, I just got new batches of grit.

Obviously, I know mussels basically thrive in and around grit, but I also know how to clean and rinse them when I make em myself at home and I never get grit when I do it.

The third time I just accepted it as "normal for Max's now" and we didn't go back after that. :/

It was enough to get them to foolishly admit evading a prior ban (which Reddit likes less than we do) and now they’re gone! Until they’re dumb enough to create another anon/throwaway account, that is. 😏

He never stood a chance :( This is so sad.

>My main is banned from here, won’t go into specifics.

>But there is also no reason to release it before the trial.

We hear certain politicians and lawmakers try this all the time: "We need to be patient! We need to let the slow wheels of justice turn slowly so we slowly get to our destination in a slow manner so when we slowly arrive, people will have forgotten how unnecessarily long the slow journey went slowly and have moved on to other things."

Defendants file appeal after appeal, push the trial out (potentially for years), in the hopes that the plaintiff or witnesses are no longer available or willing to testify or see a judgement in their favor, or that something else will happen that will cause the trial to be canceled, or that the statute of limitations will expire, or that some law would be written that might exonerate them or prevent them from being tried in court.

Look at how much time out of court a former president has gotten with all of the pending litigation against them, by filing counter lawsuits and appeals, and simultaneously getting an incredible amount of time to sow distrust in the very system they, themselves, are committed to abusing and disrupting.

You posted this from a throwaway account, so I get the feeling that you're not here for a good faith discussion. If you were, you would have used your main account.

I can't see how releasing this video would risk a mistrial. That ship sailed years ago. Taxpayers pay for their public law enforcement, so they have a right to see what that public law enforcement does.

Videos like this—especially partially-redacted videos (this doesn't have sound)—are released more and more (in recent memory) by law enforcement, either voluntarily or via court order, before any trial takes place and those trials don't end in mistrials.

There is zero reason to keep this video from the public out of concern for a "fair trial."

What would meet my corruption scratch-and-sniff test is if the prosecutor also moved to have the video sealed from the public until it's played during the trial as part of their evidence. That would cause people to reasonably doubt which side the prosecutor is on.

The links were listed in a public court filing. It's not like they were sent by Baskervill (the prosecutor) via an encrypted Telegram message from a burner phone bought by someone in another country and sent to Baskervill via courier pigeon.

Journalists did their job by constantly checking the sources they had without dealing directly with the prosecutor. Looks like NYT was sleeping on this and WaPo made the break.

Tends to happen if you view a lot (and I guess WaPo thinks “a lot” is 3) of articles a month or use an ad blocker.

I was able to view the full article and I’m not a subscriber, but I’ve disabled my ad blocker for WaPo, as well 🤷🏻‍♂️

Our new puppy that we brought home Saturday morning started coming down with kennel cough (or something like it) Saturday night.

Last night and early morning was lots of coughing followed by lots of running in the back yard this morning. Gonna have to take her to the vet at some point to get checked out and probably get some meds.

I was hoping we could make it at least a few months without having to figure out if she likes pockets, cheese, or rolled up sliced turkey breast. 🙃

Update: Puppy’s first vet appointment went well. I’m happily surprised at how calm she was there and she played with her toy while there was another dog on the other side of the door barking the whole time. On antibiotics for 10 days to get rid of the kennel cough.

Because that's illegal? Similar to how you're not allowed to drink your own alcohol on a plane that wasn't purchased and served by an employee on that plane; even if you purchased duty free alcohol at the airport terminal, it can't be opened onboard a plane.

There are liability and insurance issues with outside alcohol, too.

Breaking soon: "An unnamed city public utilities agency may have been fraudulently charging residents, while neglecting to ensure those charges were accurate or even respond to residents' questions in a timely manner, in the third precinct area of Richmond, which includes neighborhoods like The Fan, Stony Point and Willow Lawn, according to Richmond Police."

It might also be the difference between the landlord considering staying a landlord and continuing to rent the house out or selling it and getting out of it entirely.

An extra $1,200 is a fairly small amount when it comes to the headache around real estate, home maintenance, increased taxes, and (optionally) property management.

Doubtful that landlord's property taxes increased that much. Our latest assessment in Lakeside only increased 9% in the last year and added $109 to our taxes for the entire year.

Unless that home's value jumped up significantly due to improvements and nearby sales, it's unlikely it was due to the taxes.

Yeah, same.

I leased a gorgeous 1,850 sq. ft. 2/2 loft in Shockoe Bottom, with a balcony, and included private off-street parking, and private gym for $1,505/mo. from 2012-2014. That same exact unit is going for around $2,100/mo. now.

A huge 3/3 loft for $1,512/mo. that won't increase for 3 years is ludicrous to me.

There’s a small “downtown” area that can be pretty lively during nights and weekends. Otherwise you will likely want to travel closer to Henrico County and Richmond City proper for entertainment options.

Probably accurate, but I don’t editorialize titles.

Just posting it here so people know that, despite attempting to put a serious effort into these elections, Republicans haven’t exactly given up on elections in blue districts and they can only win when Democrats get too comfortable and think they don’t need to vote.

About Imholt, from the article: > According to the Republican Party of Virginia, Imholt, who lives in Richmond, previously ran for the House of Delegates in 2015. He also previously served as co-chair of the Rockford Board of Education Finance Committee in Rockford, Illinois and spent a decade in government consulting.

Worked at a theater for my first major job from 15.5-21. Teenagers were the worst.

They’d get into fights, harass other customers and run, talk loudly during the movies, walk in and out of theaters calling out for their friends, light up the theater with their phones and pagers (late 90s), turn on the cleaning lights in other theaters that were still playing movies as they left, pull fire alarms, steal shit, wreck the bathrooms by TPing stalls and flooding toilets, and theater hop all the time, air-kick cardboard displays/standees.

Regal wasn’t going to do anything about it in the late 90s/early 00s. I absolutely loathed seeing parents drop them off at the front of the theater and leave.
