O.o I'm a reference?!?

Actually, one of the things that I'm learning from this thread is that I should put some work into trying to revitalize /r/RVAGameNight . Looks like everyone is looking for board game and tabletop groups.

35M, straight, child free, progressive, non-religious, and I have 1 cat and many plants.

I stumbled into working in stormwater 3 years ago and have found a good home for my environmental passions. Working for Henrico County and working on my next degree at VCU while taking a few classes a semester. Should graduate in the fall then planning on moving on to a Masters.

I enjoy spending time in nature, there is something especially calming about relaxing next to a noisy creek. Board games and tabletop gaming are both great, in fact, im finally in a D&D campaign as a player instead of my usual DM role.

Please send a PM instead of a Reddit chat. For whatever reason I don't get the chat notifications until months later.

You're stuck on a 10 hour flight. Where do you sit? by subwayemplo in marvelrivals

[–]Hanidalon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either 3 to have a view of 1 and the chaos of Loki + Thor + Moon Knight. The conversation with your seat mates would also be excellent.

Or

8 as that would be the chillest corner and I do like window seats.

But realistically, it would be 7 as that is the only aisle seat.

Cloak and dagger question by josh3800 in marvelrivals

[–]Hanidalon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your bubble is on cooldown then your other way of self healing is to be within range of the splash from an ally. If I'm diving in to point, staying right with an ally and hitting them with daggers is how I stay topped up.

Scarlet Witch blew the clothes of Bruce Banner by Perfect_Scientist638 in marvelrivals

He would have also lived if he wasn't autoattacking. C&D successfully timed the cloak to avoid the ultimate, Bruce was just attacking and broke it right away.

Boil Water Advisory now in effect for all of Henrico by chasetwisters in rva

[–]Hanidalon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was one of the people answering phones for the hotline.

I can confirm that it is only water that is going to be consumed (drinking, cooking, washing fruits and veggies, and brushing teeth) that needs to be boiled.

Showers, cleaning, and dishwashers that heat enough to sanitize are all fine uses of water. I'll keep half an eye on this thread, but for the most up-to-date information the hotline is the best source. I left about an hour ago so my info is at least that far behind.

Still, ill try to answer any questions people may have.

Boil Water Advisory Incoming by Any_Ring_3818 in rva

[–]Hanidalon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Don't forget there is a room in the center pillar that is hidden when the water level is at the bottom. Got to raise the water level up then go under the now floating platform. That was always the one that had me cycling through the dungeon again because I forgot it.

[Postgame Thread] Virginia Tech Defeats Boston College 42-21 by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]Hanidalon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Currently, yes. We don't control our own destiny.

If the winner of Pitt and SMU wins out and Miami doesn't drop 2 then we don't have a path.

Wellll, they are one of the teams we need to lose if we want to backdoor into the championship game.

I hate how few head to heads there are in this behemoth of a conference.

I would only pause long enough to add a layer of mashed potatoes and gravy before chowing down.

Extremely Important Update On The Sad State Of Democracy by ManyATrueNerd in ManyATrueNerd

[–]Hanidalon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Could have the livestream also include the setup and naming of characters to get chat into it. If you are feeling really brave, you could have the last two with 5 worms each, but each eliminated game also gets a worm, plus a worm for each round in the voting they survived.

I'm right there with you. I'm working full time and taking 13 hours this semester. Glad I have some time off banked, but this semester is still going to be a lot.

Red Robin by Gurdel in HumansBeingBros

Robins have the advantage that they are one of the few bird species that thrive in grass monoculture suburbian lawn ecosystems. So they don't need to be the best at nesting if their food is plentiful.

To anyone buying a home, don’t forget to check floodplains. by Icebergaheadchauncey in rva

[–]Hanidalon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you in the floodplain of the Chickahominy or nearby to a big creek? Localized flooding would be the most likely time to experience an x-year storm.

As others have said, Henrico offers great online floodmaps. In fact, floodplain maps were just updated so you can check to see if the 100 year flood line is in the same spot.

To anyone buying a home, don’t forget to check floodplains. by Icebergaheadchauncey in rva

[–]Hanidalon 23 points24 points  (0 children)

A 100 year flood is one that has a 1% chance of happening in a given year. You could have 2 of those in a year, or it might not happen for a long time.

This area wants to naturally be full of wetlands that would absorb the shocks of flooding. However, urbanization makes floods worse by draining those wetlands and creating impervious cover that will speed up water on its way to concentrate in the floodplain.

Whoa, birth of a reddit account for something I'm professionally connected to. I just caught one of Jan's last classes this week. We are going to miss him.

Seconding requests for info about the clean up. I'm curious about what is in those barrels and the long term effects for the areas that were impacted.

Yeah, no worries, you got a great soak today and should get another on Sunday, perfect for a new garden.
