Reply to Any homeowner's familiar with Dominion Home Energy Rebate/Energy Efficiency Program? by SpicyyySalsaaa
The Energy Efficiency program will also give Dominion the authority to go into your thermostat and control it as they wish.
If your system is relatively new and you are getting it inspected quarterly, I would see look at insulating the attic.

Live right off Dumbarton and can't stand that road. Either somebody driving in the left lane going 34 mph because they have to turn in their neighborhood 1.7 miles up the road or as you said people driving dangerously at 60 mph weaving in and out of traffic. Where's the happy medium?

I usually get it, unless they have miles of free space along the curb to pull into. Or even just stopping at a better spot so other cars can move around them.

In that case, I would get a quote or two prepared from some local companies and bring it up with the landlord. It's a much more appealing proposition than losing your property investment to it.

It's written into our constitution and so many people say they're responsible so why should they be punished. I don't know how we can ever change now that it's built into the american identity.

Peak America+ would be immediately announcing a sale on the ammo in sporting goods.

I don’t own, although, I feel like the landlord won’t mind much, considering they have to repair the lightpost someone smashed into…
Also we’re like 2-3 accidents away from having a car in our living room.

I believe it was established late in 2021, so it's only a few days worth of use.

The sad thing is that there is a solution to this problem. Implemented successfully by every other developed country on the planet. But we can't do that here in 'Merica. People prefer living in a warzone to having common sense.

The simplest solution for you for the time being (assuming you own the property) is to go buy some nice sized boulders and line the front of your yard with them. They are surprisingly effective at protecting property from stray cars.

I always wanted a moat and drawbridge, but not sure I'm zoned for it.

OK, I understand where you're coming from. There's certainly different types of "graphic" beyond gore. Having not experienced war and trench warfare specifically, I'm not sensitive to such depictions in film and lit. I can see how others, like those with PTSD as you mention, would have difficulty viewing or reading things that many just consider media to be consumed and analyzed.

Heck yeah, love to see it! More people taking the train the better, because it shows the demand for alternatives to car and plane travel. Hopefully one day we have high-speed rail all along the east coast.

Insane. Yea I’m from Miami, so lots of accidents, lots of crazy drivers, generally higher speed limits. But you see FAR less of that going down in such popular areas, let alone areas that are KNOWN to be monitored heavily by police. People here drive this way because they KNOW they can get away with it 9/10 times.

At Horsepen and Monument the other day, a car in front of me made a left turn on red a solid two seconds after the light changed. Like we got to the front of the left turn lane when it turned, they paused for 2 seconds, then went anyway as the cars coming straight who now had green almost hit them. It wasn't even close.

Honestly at this point, and I say this with much nuance as a more aggressive-leaning driver, I think I’m going to start erring on the side of extreme caution here. It seems people on this road are too stupid to think while driving. So if I just be the most predictable basic bitch in the road with my signals on for half a mile, sure I may get flicked off or honked at, but maybe someone doesn’t have to go to the hospital, or someone elses car doesn’t get totaled. Or mee-maw bringing the trash in doesn’t get clipped.
Believe me when I say, I get what you’re saying with the happy medium, but I don’t think it can be achieved on this road, at least not how it is now. Been here 2 years now and it seems to have only gotten worse.
Despite CONSTANTLY seeing police pulling people over. I mean if you were a thief, and you know SO MANY PPL get caught stealing from Lowes, would you still steal from that Lowes?
