I would disagree with much of that. I don't know anyone good who uses those lines, though I'm sure someone does. But more importantly there are lots of good installers out there and that really matters. Lowes and Home Depot have none of them - that's where people with no business go to get sold leads. And anyone with no business now sucks

Reply to comment by shalomfromus in [North Chesterfield] Virginia law enforcement worker killed in shootout with deputies after murdering family of teen he catfished, police say by archetype1

Serious question:

I’m a firefighter, have a thin red line flag on my truck that I acquired after the second death of a close friend. If seen, do people remotely think I’m this kind of person?

I know what thin blue line flags stand for, especially after all the protests, but I wonder if it’s an assumption about everyone in public safety

Edit: add’l context

this would be a good thing to mention to contractors after they are interested, since interesting HOAs would make many run screaming.

FWIW I think there will be a slowdown in a year or so, and more availability. Currently it's a pain

You'll find most serious people will charge you less for new cabinetry. Why? Because removing and storing the old ones without having to refinish them is a nightmare. Plus fitting them into the new design.

What's your ballpark budget?

Craigslist and rent a truck from Home Depot or Lowes. People sell practically new furniture for cheap just to get rid of it pretty often. Truck rental will prob cost you $50-100 or so by the time you tack on mileage and fuel.

Never paid more than a couple hundred for a single piece of furniture doing it that way.

If youre reading this, go ahead and google 40% cops. Something something, monopoly on violence, outsourced gangwork for the landowning class, tasked with protecting property not people and enforcing laws written by old world elites...

Cops murder all the time. Its their exclusive right and borderline mandate. Excluding soldiers because The Enemy isnt people of course

Reply to $8M entertainment venue The Park at RVA opens this week - Richmond BizSense by ThatChildNextDoor

everyone here is so quick to judge this place. Where, last time I checked, a majority of people who visit this subreddit come here to find things to do, to meet people, to have some entertainment. Richmond doesn't have much going on (what it does have going on is good) and can use every BIT of entertainment opportunities and employment opportunities.

The comments are discouraging and negative with out even trying the place out. And no I'm not affiliated with the business.

I just got a bar cabinet on sale from Target - usually costs $280, but was on sale for $60. Ordered it last Tuesday, got to me yesterday. They have a lot more online than they do in any store around here, and the bar cabinet at least is decent (not amazing) quality.

I've gotten other furniture from Ashley, if you go dressed like a bum the sales people will ignore you until you approach them to let them know what you want. I did get pitched on a protection plan but all you have to do is say no thanks.
