In front of the old RTD building IIRC.

its crazy, but I actually know someone in Amelia county that truly lives off the grid like that. More luck to him, but I couldn't do it... The battery investment is probably the biggest hitch for me.

Afaik, you only have to deal with Dominion with your own solar when you are hooked up to the grid (regardless of any net metering or other programs). If you aren't, then it doesn't matter as there is no meter, but you're on your own.

Went to the headphone meetup yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by just how well it went. Decent group size and a diverse array of gear to try.

I haven't bought near gear in like 8 years cause I was just content with my LCD-2 cans, and I went home and spent two hours looking at electrostatics...

on the inside of the Cary st side, across from CVS.

and fantastic broadband. They made a real effort years ago IIRC.

To be fair, MLB has seen the dance the City does before and knows the beat and steps...

Just want to point out, it's really hard to swallow the idea that they can (let alone should) close 5 schools (specifically 3 elementary schools) and then blow the cash to rebuild Fox in the middle of a premier upper class neighborhood...

I've seen it open all of 3 times, and there is usually a line at the register or to get in the door. So it's probably announced somewhere...

There is also a sign that says they don't take donations. My spouse and I laugh "well, how do they get stuff then, buy it from Goodwill themselves?!?!"

Isn't there one around the corner from there (I know it as the old post office building, but have no idea the name of the current business)? Mid block between Ellwood and Cary on Belmont.

This is hyperbole and we all know it. I don't think Gersi is hot shit myself, but to compare it in the same league as Joe's is you being salty it wasn't magical.

I think it was Pete Humes who said (in the shortlived, but delightfully spicy, Brick periodical) "there are two things that journalists hone in on; fear, and weather, and it's almost ecstatic joy when they can combine them on a single topic..."

That's had space in my brain for a long time and I think about it periodically.

We use New Image. I can't remember who the second choice was but haven't had a need to deviate. They do fortnightly cleaning and will deep clean if scheduled in advance.

Appalachian Power sent their customers the same. The grid may just be taxed by the weather and holiday usage.

On the bright side, if push comes to shove, some can be assisted via other state groups, so at least we aren't Texas (which does not have such luxury).

As he looks at his 73° house with radiant heat... I'm sorry for your situation, I'll txt you some condolences.

That's next week for us. We're binge watching some documentary on Egypt with my Father, and occasional overs of women's T20 cricket which I find soothing in ways baseball isn't (to me), and I don't know why yet.

/u/iWannaCupOfJoe is right. Short answer: Those neighborhoods are "walk around and call the number on the sign" typically where as Scotts has newer housing stock and actual management. Scotts will also have similar options in the neighborhood.

Stood in line with Timmy Kaine and Jen McClellan at Diversity Thrift. Sort of weird that you go in on the back side but logistically it makes sense. I'd just never been over there.

So it was weird last night, I showed up at game night (at 6pm) and evidently someone came in at 5:30, asked (with some name that none of us recognized) if it was game night to the new bartender (who was new that week), evidently went off on them when they didn't have a clear answer, and stormed out.

I have no idea who that person was.

> What's something phenomenal in your life right now?

I like my job function, my coworkers (in both technical and functional areas), and I like my house and family. Really, life isn't bad for me and that's phenomenal considering everything that's going on...

of all of the possible answers, this is actually a good one.

I think this is a fair take on it. I could pull off a car free option downtown and have a friend who does currently (I could do it in the MD if I made a little more effort). Grocery/post office options exist on the 5 and Pulse routes which is what makes it possible and otherwise getting around via the rest of the system for stuff is doable.

> Because they apparently want the body and the monument moved to a venue of their choosing for free.

So it's sort of interesting to me, graves have been moved in the past. One of the largest being when San Francisco passed a "no burials inside City limits" ordinances and then evicted most of their existing cemeteries to south of town in Colma to free up City land for building stuff on. IIRC, the University of San Francisco sits on top of a portion of that land now.

They said they would disinter them, transport them, and rebury them, but you had to cough up $10 (a few hundred in today's dollars). If you didn't pay, the mass grave'd that. The remains didn't get to stick around.

It's also why there are only like 2 or 3 cemeteries now; a tiny one at an old church, and the one at the fort (which is federal land). When I first heard that, I wondered what it would take for RVA to go that route and move Calvary and Hollywood.

Buses not in service and buses that have the engine turned off (e.g. for the driver to make a pitstop) fall off the tracker. Buses that idle at their "reset stop" show up as DLY. Sometimes when a bus turns back on, the GPS fails to connect and it falls off the tracker. Knowing the schedule is imperative and be at stops ~10min before a scheduled bus as there are some occasions when drivers run a little fast (or start late because they know they will make up time).

In short, the app is more data, but much like the schedule, it's imperfect data. I've used the bus system since the revamp a few years ago for >50% of my in-town transit to various places, and that's what I've learned.

Ive done this before. If it's a hospital badge, take it to Gateway or any VCU PD building and they will take care of it. Student badges go to McGlothlin next door.

yup, it's a matter of the "there are no holidays prior to the one I'm decorating for" rule.
