Something is off with that guy's head. It looks like a really bad age progression of an abducted child.

And yes, I'm very salty regarding the over-development of SA.

VCU’s clinic for substance use is called the Motivate Clinic, but I’m not sure they have inpatient facilities or just outpatient and can’t find that info on their site, so you may have to call and ask. I know they have a they have a lot of interdisciplinary stuff so you have people to work on the physical and mental health aspects (and even specifically women’s health) if that’s something you need. Im 95% sure they accept Medicaid, unless something changed recently.
I don’t personally know any others but there’s a website called FindTreatment.gov that’s for finding other facilities near you, specifically for substance abuse and mental health services. I can’t remember if they had a filter for in vs out patient but it may give you options of some places and hopefully their individual websites can provide you more info on insurance and treatment options.
Good luck, hope this helps!

I know I’m in the minority but I have been to ZZQ 4 times and it’s mediocre at best. No smoke flavor at all. And who uses a vinegar sauce in a Texas style restaurant? Or that sticky sweet rib sauce? Or the flavorless burnt ends? i can go on, but it’s the most overrated joint in VA. Oh, and the owners are less that cordial.
Better options:
Smohk which is like a block or two away. Buz N Ned’s. King’s (it’s in the wrong direction from the request but it’s solid). The Pig and Steak in Madison Allman’s in Fredericksburg Ronnie’s in Varina Hill Country in DC—can be inconstant but when it’s on, it’s great.
I’m told Redemption BBQ is great, but I’m not paying $28 a pound for pulled pork or chicken.

While the major hospitals are probably good suggestions, I would absolutely avoid The Healing Place. From the experiences I’ve seen with people that have ended up there, it’s not a healthy place at all and doesn’t promote the skills needed to stay clean

Pulled pork at Pierces is about the only decent thing there. Everything else is mushy slop, that place is way overrated.

Having had both, I'd sooner slam my dick in a drawer on a daily basis before picking Comcast over Verizon. Had nothing but positive experiences with FIOS. Comcast has sucked more than any other company for as long as I can remember.

Wrong on both accounts. Throttling has been proven time and again despite their claims they don't do it anymore (they openly admitted to it in the past) and they took their data cap national last year, VA was previously unaffected. It's capped at 1 Tb/month unless you pay another $35/m for unlimited now. Just because your usage isn't enough to notice either doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Unless they book it to the suburbs as soon as their kids hit grade school like every generation before them

There is no such thing as a completely free market and shouldn’t be. Quality of life actually regresses when you have a city who chews up and spits out those who aren’t in their working prime in hot sectors.

Open your door and see tire size. Verify tires are right size. GPS will tell you the speed.

Simply the case that in bigger cities with HCOL, adults in general tend to rent longer, because they HAVE to.
In small, (cheap) sleepy southern town about 10 years ago, where the 21 y/o cop and nurse were the “power couple”, two young adults could buy a house immediately after they got married with no down payment on a USDA loan, and seller paid closing costs.
No renting necessary.

Young proposes a version of this every once in a while and my bet is that he simply aims to drive a broader conversation that speaks to efficiencies. He likes to ruffle feathers. Closing (all) those 5 schools, specifically, isn't going to happen, but having the discussion could still be helpful in other ways. Me, I'm not a fan of closing schools for several reasons...And certainly someone other than Young himself would need to study which if any schools would even be up for discussion.

No sympathy, you knew exactly what you were buying.
Landlords bought a property knowing it doesn’t CAP?

As others have said, Google maps has a speedometer, but there are also lots of standalone GPS speedometer apps that display your speed in full screen and are very accurate.

Mine was a $10 hike in the plan and $7.95 to $10 for equipment. Not the tax and fees that did go up because of the additional equipment and plan costs.
