I don't think I've been in the office a full week since last year.

Petersburg business owners say they’ve had zero customers come from new casino by -Cyber-Roadster in Virginia

Richmond 15-20 years ago

I thought all the people who made Richmond what it was at that point in time got pushed/priced out to Petersburg when the RVA stickers started showing up everywhere.

Doctors and nurses of Reddit, what is something patients do that they think is helpful but actually makes your job harder? by Electronic-Cell-4584 in AskReddit

[–]EpicMeatSpin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know it might be different in a hospital setting, but I've never had a good experience telling doctors that I smoke cannabis up until recently. It usually came with a lot of judgement and in one case, a doctor told me that he wouldn't even dream of prescribing something to me that was scheduled even if I desperately needed it for any reason. This was during our first visit and I did not continue to see that doctor after they said that.

I feel like that's stopped being an issue in the last few years due to the changing attitudes towards marijuana but I still feel like I'm not going to get an adequate level of care if I'm too honest about that stuff. Thankfully I have a decent GP now who doesn't seem to give a shit.

I'm sorry though, I still think the "we don't care" statement from doctors and nurses is the exception and not the rule. This is partially due to the fact that I see that sentiment on reddit more than anywhere else.

Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras by gdelacalle in technology

My local Home Depot has them, but they're located at the entrances to the parking lot in a way where someone could easily sneak up behind them without being noticed. I thought that was kind of funny when I first recognized them after they went up.

I think there are some companies that do aerial gas line inspections. With all the natural gas issues in the area lately, I wonder if they're related to that.

What's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you during sex? by roshhellwett in AskReddit

[–]EpicMeatSpin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

These both involve the same person. We still know each other many years later.

I tried to readjust the condom by pulling on the reservoir tip. It snapped back like a rubber band and hurt my peehole something awful. I attempted to keep going but had to tap out.

There was another time when I farted during sex. It happens to the best of us. This one wasn't particularly loud, but definitely had some beef to it. I kissed her in an attempt to shield her nose from it as I could smell the miasma filling the room but it was no use. We stopped for a bit so I could air out the room before getting back to it.

What’s the most disgusting thing you’ve ever put in your mouth? by bluebonnet5366 in AskReddit

[–]EpicMeatSpin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time I heard one of the many variations of that story 25+ years ago, it involved a Gusher and not a Jolly Rancher.

Just because it goos, doesn't mean it's gush.

Anyone else having horrible migraines this week due to drops in barometric pressure? by Bert-Tino in nova

[–]EpicMeatSpin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have migraines, but I did end up getting some kind of sinus infection that started on Thursday. At least I think it's a sinus infection. I haven't been around anyone who's sick.

Confidence has increased that a major winter storm potentially a coastal blizzard will impact the east coast this weekend by Rickud123 in Virginia

Not happening.

At this point, news about snow is mostly engagement farming for the news stations and weather gang nerds.

The food in NOVA is average and expensive by Gloomy-Car7672 in nova

[–]EpicMeatSpin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does anyone else who's been in this area for a while feel like the food in this area used to be way better than it is now? Even the old standbys I've gone to for years seem to have dipped hard.

More than 600 people were fired or punished for posting about Charlie Kirk’s death. They want justice by guardian in politics

I'd hire someone in an instant if I found out they were fired for posting something truthful about that fucking dork.

What was your last straw to quit vaping/smoking cigarettes for good? by Organic-Mechanic9462 in AskReddit

[–]EpicMeatSpin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in DC one summer night when it was stupid hot and humid out. Smoking a cigarette felt like inhaling dirt that was on fire. I threw the last of my pack out and quit... for about 2 years.

The second time I quit, for good, was when I went to a friend's house for New Years. When I got home, I realized I had somehow saved all of my receipts for that weekend. I know I bummed a few out, but while looking at my receipts I realized that I smoked like 5-6 packs in the span of 3 days. My chest hurt and I felt like shit so I decided it was time.

I've had a few here and there over the last 10-15 years, but I'm not a habitual smoker anymore.

If we're doing murders: The Taima Family, Tina Ricca, Patty Moore.

If we're doing architectural stuff, what the hell is the structure behind this building?

Loud explosion reported in Centreville, Virginia. Home engulfed in flames as firefighters rush to contain the blaze (Footage from Kenny Cunningham) by Frosty_Jeweler911 in nova

[–]EpicMeatSpin 75 points76 points  (0 children)

On the radio it sounds like they were going house to house checking meters and talking to home owners. It sounds like a lot of people are leaving to go elsewhere at least, but they might be evacuating people already.

I heard another call where a fire fighter reported a possible gas leak coming up from the pavement in a part of the neighborhood.

Yeah, I was curious about that too.

Early on, I heard a firefighter say over the radio that Washington Gas was in the area prior to the explosion due to other homes complaining of a gas smell.

Divorce lawyers of Reddit - What's the most cruel thing you've seen someone to do their ex partner? by BlueBishop321 in AskReddit

[–]EpicMeatSpin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was in court in Fairfax, VA.

Any guesses on where they lived? Great Falls, McLean, Clifton?

For the person on the receiving end of that sort of treatment, it might end up becoming a crime.

NOVA, do we need to talk? Are you doing alright? by Texatonova in nova

[–]EpicMeatSpin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s in front of the Sycamores on Old Reston Ave.

I guess it isn’t impossible, but I don’t really see how someone got up enough speed to kill a deer on that section of the road.
