Reply to Forest Hill Sheetz by ThrowYaBoatt

Because the businesses that are already there will lose most of their parking spaces plus the amount of traffic coming and going will be a nuisance. We don’t need another gas station.

Reply to No criminal charges for owner of pit bull that killed 88 year old woman by AphidGenocide

At the risk of bringing the wrath of Pitbull owners, I’ll say it again…. Pit bulls (and several other breeds) are dangerous, unpredictable animals that cannot be controlled when they go into attack mode. Ownership of these animals should be restricted to people who are trained and licensed to handle them and severer penalties to the owners should be codified into law for injuries/death caused by owner negligence.

If this poor woman had died, because someone negligently killed her with their car, they would be charged with negligent homicide. I don’t know if there’s a statute that allows that to be charged for an animal attack, but there should be and the owner of this dog should be facing severe penalties .

Reply to comment by geekitude in ProTip: Return Verizon equipment at UPS, not the VZ store. by geekitude

https://www.verizon.com/stores/ tells you which authorized resellers stores accept equipment returns. The issue though is that Forest Hill is one of those stores, but they denied you anyway. I have returned equipment to the John Rolfe Parkway authorized retailer.

Or you can go to a Company Store.

Or you can return it to a UPS Store.

Reply to comment by nRust in Homeless population getting turned away due to lack of shelter space by Professional_Book912

I came here from Austin, which has an out of control homeless problem. They are constantly bulldozing homeless camps around the city, like whack-a-mole.

Some seem to just move on to the next spot, and some filter out into the woods where they are less likely to be seen. The city would implement symbolic solutions to help a tiny number of them, like converting unused storage facilities into temp shelter. Meanwhile, the residents are torn between "we have to help them" and "I don't want to see them everywhere I like going".

We live in a first world country and play with peoples' lives like they're insects. It's class warfare.

I plan on watching as much of the game as possible from the office. Fox will give you a 'free one hour preview' on their site. If you open it up in a Chrome Private Browsing window you can quit the app once you hit the time limit, open it back up and you get a fresh one hour preview.

Washington Commanders, Boston Bruins, and Boston Red Sox are my main teams. I support DC United and Manchester United, but haven't followed soccer recently as much as I used to.

Reply to Are there any late-night coffee places left? by jacksonwarg

I chilled in Sheetz last week until 1 am. The inside tables were deserted and they serve food and drinks 24 hours a day. Wifi isn’t super fast but it’s there.

Chioccas is also open late with wifi but I don’t think it has coffee. Low key vibe though.

Microdosing shrooms has helped me a good bit. It really helps to alleviate my social anxiety which sometimes makes it impossible to be around anyone other than a few specific people.
