Why is this being downvoted ? It’s true!

Can they be refilled? Yes but it’s a DIY job. They’re not made to be refilled but you can buy adapters to do it.
Should they? Probably not. It’s my understanding that those tanks aren’t made to cycle in the same way a standard tank is.

Unrelated to the daily and yes I searched the sub but does anyone have a recommendation for a place other than Schwartzschild for selling or valuing an old pocket watch? I've contacted them twice with no response.

>No other time off bc small business everything.
I feel that, I'm hoping to get enough done today that I don't need to come in on Friday or the weekend but I don't think that is gonna happen.

It’s a dangerous crossing to get off the Pulse and run across Broad to catch the westbound bus. I love the Pulse and would be ecstatic is it ran to Short Pump.

I also use Grove Eye Care and have been for 20 years. Great folks, amazing service. They don't even hassle you for wanting to order from Zenni or Warby Parker.

Gotta make some cookies tonight but otherwise it's just a normal day.
Probably do some laundry so that God's bloatiest soldier can have his stretchiest pants.

You could do an olive oil cake! They’re really good and pretty easy to make!

I’d love to see the expansion west. The number of folks that have to cross Broad at Willow Lawn to catch the bus at the old Hardee’s is frightening. That’s a lot of lanes to cross and someone is going to die one of these days.

Is this really a Richmond thing? I feel like this basically applies to anywhere someone grew up.

chesterfield is run by dumb suburbanites that see the bus as what poors, homeless, drug addicts, and crazies use
the sad reality is suburbanisation means bus services wouldnt be too usefull anyway, unless its going to be zig zagging through residential streets, and even then the population density is just pretty low

I used to work in bakery retail during the holidays - making those end caps is also annoying for the staff bc then we’d get a million questions or complaints 😅best bet is to politely ask someone working, so much faster than wandering around trying to find where they were told to put it

Totally serious. If we're gonna do it let's just do it and be done. Bonus for me, I already live on a plant street.

Making chocolates can be both fun and traumatizing (I’ve scalded myself more than once). I hope you find a good recipe and they turn out great!

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.

no, when its the best option available people will use it
nobody is going to ride the bus if it comes every 30-60 minutes and is constantly stuck in traffic, even if its free

Powhatan land currently and Chesapeake/Lumbee land in my hometown area.
I'll be doing the same thing I do every ham day, baking sweet potatoe pies.

It is what it is. IMO, given the state of the schools, the money could be spent more efficiently.

even though a subway would probably never come to richmond, lausanne has a really weird rubber tire metro system that’s actually really cool, especially considering how small the city is
