and then they all want to live in the city and park on the street. I lived on Floyd across from Binford and there was a giant, massive truck that took up the same space as 3 compact cars, and also blocked some of the regular driving lane.

I typed a whole comment touching on this and was like "why bother?" because telling people they shouldn't be as scared as they are (not that I said that, but it was one takeaway) is a great way to piss them off. People cling to fear, no matter how gentle you are about it.
But yeah, a takeaway is: remember this next time there is a panic over crime! There are ebbs and flows all the time and rarely are they a sign of long term trends, especially in the negative direction. It's always bad when it goes up, but not a per se reason to be alarmed. And it's usually drastically overreported.....if murders go up 20%, coverage is gonna go up approximately one billion %

It’s the easiest way to find popups and delivery services, you don’t have to post anything, the services are really easy to find and once you find 1-2 the algo starts feeding you more (just don’t do mail because those guys rip you off most of the time.) I don’t know what to tell you.
Not sure what you have to learn to use IG, it’s made for idiots. Today, there are people in Alabama smoking brick weed tar scraped from the inside of a metal pipe they bought from a guy they’ve known since high school, and all you have to do is make a burner IG account.

I believe a pedestrian was killed here just before Christmas.

looks like a good law to me. if anything it should be stricter. Having it be just a $500 fine is not that strong. criminal charges should be included. Republicans should be ok with this bill. but who knows how the vote will go.
I wonder why they only include handguns? I guess including rifles and shotguns would unfairly target hunters.

The politically appointed chumps have had a big year. The teachers are mostly fantastic and do their job despite political shenanigans and not because of them.

Boohoo poor pitiful me. That’s a horrible attitude to have. I have no sympathy for that poor pitiful me attitude I can’t do anything. People like that are born into a miserable unhappy sad pathetic life. Can’t imagine how horrible that kind of misery is.

I feel real bad for Hyundai/ Kia drivers, but that's why you don't buy one of those. At least higher end cars like dodge's thieves have to hack/ use a device. With a Hyundai anybody could do it, it's pathetic. Idk why people still buy from them. I get it's a cheap car, but if your car gets stolen/ damaged you're back to square one. Even after the problem is fixed in newer cars, you'd be a fool to support that company.

I think it would force responsible owners to better secure their weapons and cut down on accidental deaths. especially with children. it won't stop car break-in/gun theft, no law will. but if there are consequences to leaving a gun unsecured than it will makes it a less desirable option for trafficking guns.

Piggybacking on this LeafedOut is good too. Obviously only buy from people that are rated 5 stars.

There are townhomes being built at the corner of Woodman Rd and Hungary. They have the framing up so I’m not sure how active the big vehicles are currently, but there’s still a ton of machinery out there.
There’s a Dunkin’ and a Little Ceasars that you might be able to park at and get a view.

Oh they assumed that anyone not exactly like them was beneath them. See poor, non-white, non-male etc as criteria they baked into their system to keep them away from decisions.

James River Equipment Co in Ashland! Not a construction site but so many huge vehicles. I’ve also heard good things about the truck and tractor museum in colonial heights.

They were mentioned in the thread last year but I demolished the box I got from Fresh Market in less than 48 hours and I’d happily do it again. Not sure when they come in stock though.

>truck and tractor museum in colonial heights.
Seconded. Well worth a visit if you like machinery, old cars, trucks, tractors and motorcycles. The brightly painted equipment makes kids lose their minds. Unfortunately there's only one tractor kids can sit on.
