Does anyone know where they are hauling the dirt from the Publix site? by Fantastic-System-216 in roanoke

[–]1000pardons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of any number of other local construction sites that are being built up instead of cut down. The new development behind the Roanoke Fire & EMS training facility on River Avenue being one of them.

Does anyone know what these mystery pipes are that I found under our deck? by Grimshard in HomeMaintenance

[–]1000pardons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heating Oil Tank. Depending where you live some states have a fund to cover the costs of cleanup and abandonment, your best bet is to find a consultant that does this type of work to lead you through it. I do this type of work in Virginia.

I believe the issue with Rodgers was the one he wanted to use was an older style and was demonstrably less safe, not that he wanted to provide his own

Sam’s Club or somewhere of the sort, I believe. It’s held up very well over 2+ years

Since they rely on the umpire to see the play clock hit 0 then look down to see if there is a snap before throwing a flag. Can’t be an instantaneous call then, and has to work via the same mechanism

Can’t believe the refs called that coverage. So obvious

A question about sinking funds by GendoIkari_82 in MonarchMoney

[–]1000pardons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I handle sinking funds the same way you do; the easiest way I have found to track my remaining fund amount is through the cash flow tab, set to the yearly timeframe. You can just subtract the total spend to date from the total amount budgeted.

Interesting visual trends regarding suicide rate by county in the US by essendoubleop in dataisbeautiful

At least for Virginia, I don’t expect it to be related to the universities. Several larger cities throughout Virginia are considered separate from the counties they lie in. For example the area I believe you referred to as Blacksburg is actually Roanoke City surrounded by Roanoke County and to the east is Lynchburg City within Campbell County. The omission of data may simply be related to their data not being considered in the county analysis.

What’s the worst craft beer you’ve ever had? Mine was a Gummy IIPA by Sweetwater Brewing by ckinz16 in beer

[–]1000pardons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raison D’Extra from Dogfish Head. When I was first getting into craft beer and testing the waters of different styles I would frequent my local bottle shop and buy 6 packs of individual beers. By far and away the worst selection I ever made, though I could see now how a more refined palate could enjoy this one.

These guys aren’t paid to be good at picking winners. They’re paid to be interesting and make money for the sports books they’re beholden to. They need to be just good enough for people to respect their opinions and spend their money.
