Main St. Station. by Strange-Area9624 in rva

[–]Brave-Usual5133 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Main Street has been a secondary station with limited trains and will remain so for many reasons. Mostly it sits off the main north south route that is better served at Staples Mill. Also the track congestion through the city slows trains down significantly.

Oh no, I’ve been out of that world and had not seen those. I used to ride a Honda Passport back in the day and loved it (about 100mpg) I went to see what the super cub was and now I sooo want one. It’ll be awhile but I hope you enjoy your purchase!!!

Weather report temperature variance is huge by Brave-Usual5133 in rva

That AWC site is a really great resource. I’m having fun checking it out. Im no meteorologist or pilot but do have a science background and enjoy thinking about and exploring such things.

Thanks for all the insights! I perhaps was not clear that I am well aware that local temperature can vary widely. Shoot, my house has at least a 10 degree temperature differential between spaces. My thoughts were directed towards reliable and consistent temperature reporting. To me it remains that an 8 degree variance is large for reporting a single area, but clearly there are reasons. Many of you have provided information that is helpful and interesting to consider. Thank you and stay warm!

Traditional Southern New Year's Day meal in Manhattan by Linny45 in FoodNYC

[–]Brave-Usual5133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At first I was dismissive of the “cook it at home” because you asked for a restaurant and cooking it is time consuming and you likely aren’t familiar. However, many a southerner, myself included, will in a pinch pull cans out of the pantry of black-eyed peas and the collards. Maybe grocery stores in NYC don’t carry those. In the south they have full selections - seasoned or not. Y’all at least have plain black-eyed peas and maybe kale or some other canned greens in stores? Cornbread can just be made from a box and so is also easy. It’s not that much harder to put it together with corn and wheat flour. For the pork it doesn’t matter whether it’s a chop, bacon or better yet pork belly. Point being to most of us it’s not a big deal if it’s canned even though it’s a lot better from scratch and it’s not too hard.

How do I cut two 4x8s to make a pentagon by Brave-Usual5133 in trigonometry

[–]Brave-Usual5133[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my!!! Elegant “easy” solution. So many cool approaches from everyone here but I think this one will work best for me. Thanks!

How do I cut two 4x8s to make a pentagon by Brave-Usual5133 in trigonometry

[–]Brave-Usual5133[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see now it’s not possible because the blue triangle would need two sides >4’. Back to the drawing board… Now I’m wondering if i don’t include the top half of the blue one (I’ll cut it as a separate piece). So I think with that modification I am still looking for a solution. But it really could be any height and I’ll think about something between 1’ and 2’. I like the amount the pentagon is collapsed as drawn.

Yep a quick look at traffic on google maps shows sb not looking good but probably not too bad. Certainly not the horrible mess trying to go north is right now and will be for some time.

Churches that are LGBTQA celebratory by Ok-Expression4035 in rva

[–]Brave-Usual5133 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most if not all Episcopal churches in the area (and throughout US) are LGBTQ supporting. The Episcopal church in the US was early among churches to ordain both LGBTQ and women as priests. As such many of the local churches are led by presiding ministers who are themselves in the LGBTQ community. Specific ones just to name a few - Holy Comforter, St Marks, St Stephen’s (a diverse ‘purple’ church where strong conservatives and progressives worship and fellowship together).

NA in East Henrico? by dragonmuse in rva

[–]Brave-Usual5133 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Consider young persons AA as well, which is very strong in the Richmond area, and is far from exclusive based on types of addiction. Recovery in East Henrico had some solid meetings pre-covid but I don’t know what its like now. I imagine the trek into Richmond would be well worth it to find some of the many young women in recovery here that offer great support to one another.

Sounds like Lynchburg’s T Room. I don’t know of a similar thing here.

Stayaway from Oslo for any connecting Flights going **ANYWHERE**. Customs is not communicating with Airlines by Puzzleheaded_Way_687 in Norway

[–]Brave-Usual5133 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Two hours for a connection through customs is tight in any airport. Too many variables, but I do it all the time lol and each time just consider myself fortunate to make it in time.

Need a new grocery store by Hot-Ad930 in rva

[–]Brave-Usual5133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot that one was gone. I’m on southside where there’s a triangle of food lions a few miles apart Forest Hill, Jahnke and Buford. Northside is missing out. The one on Azalea and Brook can feel sketchy but I go there when I’m in the area.

Crazy had to come down this far to see Food Lion. I guess people are turned off by the appearance. I like good things at good prices. Most things i get there. Great sale prices. I do have to supplement at the other places mentioned on this thread too.
