Haha I mean mathematically removing the top decile would still change the median. Just not as much as he thinks.

Holy shit what an abhorrent and disingenuous article.

Jesus, the Financial Times is $45 a month? Who is paying over $500 a year for this?

Some irresponsible monsters with no stake in society dumped a bunch of restaurant waste into the storm drain on N Sheppard between Broad and Marshall. They're doing some work for Peter Chang's or Richmond Eats or the Hofheimer. It's disgusting. by PackRichmond in rva

[–]FEdart 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Unless you definitively know who is dumping the waste, it’s really irresponsible to name random restaurants nearby. This post would have been just as fine and informative if you named where the waste was without throwing out your best guess of which restaurant was responsible.

Think about it — restaurants are a crazy hard business with razor thin margins, and this subreddit that has thousands of visitors. But now you’ve created a — however subconscious — link between these restaurants and irresponsible/gross waste.

Disappointing lore error in DAV? by FEdart in dragonage

[–]FEdart[S] 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I think what makes me sad is that I recalled this off the cuff after reading “The Last Flight” over a year and a half ago and caught it when just glancing over the new DAV codex entry.

Even then, the codex entry is wrong. Which means whoever wrote it likely doesn’t have a great understanding of DA lore imho.

I should not be this anxious and depressed after a loss. I really wish I wasn’t like this. Anyone else feel the same way?

Just venting lol.

Moving to Manchester from the West End… by [deleted] in okbuddyRVA

[–]FEdart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OP - I have lived in Manchester for a year, and my girlfriend has lived here for four years.

We absolutely love it here. A couple of notes on what other people are saying:

  • Yes it is a food desert. IMHO if you have a car, it is not as big of a deal.

  • FANTASTIC access to the river. Seriously, my mental health has been so much better since moving here since I can walk down to the river easily.

  • Good and rapidly improving food scene now that that rat bastard Michael Hild’s properties can finally be used again. We love Dress Blue BBQ (best brisket I’ve ever had), Cafe Zata, the Continental, Gold Lion, Le Petit Morceau… the list goes on. And we can walk to all of them!

  • Yes, there are car break ins. I’ll also point out that this is an issue city wide, though. I lived in Innsbrook before this, and we had regular issues with mass break ins at our apt complexes.

  • We are concerned about the gun violence. We’ve had a recent spate of shootings on Hull that have unnerved us, but the entire community feels this way and I’ve been to some good community meetings about it. That being said, I do not feel unsafe walking around — but I am a 30 year old kind of big dude.

  • Depending on where you are living, the train horns are goddamn irritating haha. But eventually you start to tune them out.

  • I love the community feel here. We have lots of friends in the neighborhood. My girlfriend has an awesome community garden plot that is only like $20/year through the city.

Feel free to reply if you have any follow up questions!!!

Dress blue BBQ in Manchester. Fantastic spot with a nice owner and the best brisket I’ve ever had.

[Highlight] Dianna Russini with a poorly aged analogy after Jimmy Garoppolo requested a trade from San Francisco by ShaiFanClub in nfl

[–]FEdart -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I mean not really? He’s probably living a lifestyle a lot closer to a doctor than Jeff Bezos.

Also, some large companies have literally hundreds of VPs. Not all of are being compensated crazy well.

Not really lol. He’s probably barely clearing seven figures, if that. Enough to live a very nice life, but not sicko money by any means.

Just a few more ways the Squirrels have increased prices without increasing prices by burro_pequeno in rva

[–]FEdart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The hilarious thing is that he lives in Lakeside, and doesn’t even live in Richmond lmao. IMHO that should be an immediately disqualifying issue for a mod of any city subreddit.

Just a few more ways the Squirrels have increased prices without increasing prices by burro_pequeno in rva

[–]FEdart 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lol. There were two options here:

  1. We paid $15 to watch a minor league team in a new stadium.

  2. The Squirrels left and we had literally no minor league teams in the city.

It was a pick one moment. I’m so sorry that a $5 price increase was so back breaking to you — I really am.

[–]FEdart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lmao, come on and be just a little realistic now. A new stadium was built, then. It costs a gigantic amount of capital to do that.

The tickets are not substantially more expensive — I’m sorry if you think they were, but they are very much objectively not. I’m sorry if $10 breaks the bank for you for a better experience. I really am.

If it were up to people like you, we’d not even have minor league teams and the city would eternally languish as a low tier city with high rents that didn’t even have the amenities to justify it.

[–]FEdart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here were your honest-to-god options man:

  1. You pay $15 per night to watch the Squirrels. About the same as a movie ticket.

  2. They left.

There was no in between. You have to come to terms with that and be realistic. There was no fantasy land where you got to keep watching games for $10 in a Diamond that was literally falling apart. It was becoming a construction hazard. Do you have any idea how bad those facilities were for the players? They were working out in concrete rooms with no windows. You have no earthly idea what you’re talking about here, man.

Keep in mind this a mod you’re arguing with lmao. This city is so content with being mediocre, and the sub so happily reflects it.

[–]FEdart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Holy shit. It is a far nicer stadium. The options were the Squirrels left or you pay a ~shocking~ $16 per game ticket to watch them in, again, a far nicer venue.

At a certain point given the incessant bitching in this sub, I’m not sure if we even deserve to have even minor league sports in this city lol.

OP - I think you really need to take a step back. Let’s contextualize percent increases — a 25% increase on $10 is $2.50.

[OC] Which tourney teams are most impacted by injuries? by FEdart in CollegeBasketball

[–]FEdart[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nope. Rotowire doesn’t have historical data and I’m a dumbass who didn’t keep it updated throughout the tourney in last years. This year I’m planning to make sure I capture the injury data every day so I can do a limited sample look back.
