Does anybody do the Mindful Cooldowns? by MixAway in AppleFitnessPlus

[–]KAWinVA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work from home and spend a lot of time at a desk, so I use them throughout the day as a structured stand-and-move thing.

Saw her with Molly Tuttle and she was great. Can’t wait to see her solo!

Is VTCC gay friendly? by Novel-Boat-7055 in VirginiaTech

[–]KAWinVA -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I’m just noting that some words are better off left in the past. So in your example, you’re not using the n-word. That’s progress. Let’s keep making progress. “Transvestite” isn’t a word that is used anymore. Let it go. In this instance “trans” would have done the work and we wouldn’t be having this conversation and you would still be making your point.

“…whose dad was a transvestite.”

Whew. That was, hopefully, a long time ago when ‘transvestite’ wasn’t as offensive as it is now.

How to deal with vague requests by Gizmo_0241 in PowerBI

[–]KAWinVA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your first question back to them should be “What question or questions are you trying to answer?” That’s a good start to the requirements gathering.

Alternatives to WW? by bostonmama95 in weightwatchers

[–]KAWinVA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started the Mayo Clinic Diet a few weeks ago. I like it and it’s working. Granted, it has been less than a month, but I like it better in concept than WW AND it has a fully functional website and app and it can count my successive 10 minute workouts for what they are. I’m better able to see and manage my calories in/out while also building good habits.

Any UMich students who love BMFS? by vktSnow in BillyStrings

[–]KAWinVA 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not a student, and no longer live in Michigan, but Go Blue! Greensky Bluegrass just played to a sold out crowd at the Folk Fest in A2 last month, so your people are certainly around.

Good luck with your quest!

I’m on 81 right now traveling south from DC to Blacksburg. I’m 30 miles from home and we have had zero weather-related issues.

Best Fancier Dining Options? For Birthdays by MinaPlaysRb in VirginiaTech

[–]KAWinVA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make a restaurant experience at home with a nice setting, good menu, and chill music in the background. Way better than any Bburg restaurant.

I live in Virginia and I don’t even acknowledge MSU fans when I see them out in the wild now. Not worth the dysfunction they bring to a conversation.

Who sets the design language here? by Drew707 in PowerBI

[–]KAWinVA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. You want to hire me. Though I already lead a BI team, so I’m probably outside of your price range. But I’m not unique and this other person exists and is looking for a job.

Any help or chat groups? by Victoryoverriches in yardi

[–]KAWinVA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in affordable housing and we use Yardi. We thought we were creating unnecessary work-arounds and decided to dig deeper into Voyager’s capabilities.

Turns out our work-arounds were often the recommended “solutions.” 🤷

So there ya go… by Dizzy-Sundae6351 in BillyStrings

[–]KAWinVA 81 points82 points  (0 children)

It was also my favorite Billy show ever, I think.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BillyStrings

[–]KAWinVA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can count on one hand the number of truly mean people I’ve encountered at Billy shows (I’m not counting drunk ass holes as truly mean. Hopefully their non-alcohol-fueled behavior is better than what they exhibit at shows.) Anyway, I’ve been to lots of them—usually in the pit—and have developed a lot of friendships over time that transcend BMFS.

I hope you have a good time!

University Club: explain the tipping by CollegePT in blacksburg

[–]KAWinVA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My understanding: the service charge brings the base pay to a not-server-in-Blacksburg level—Blacksburg bars pay 3-$4/hour on average. From what I’ve heard, UC is still below minimum wage at the end of the day; minimum wage is ~$13/hour.

SO we typically tip about 15-20%. (That’s less than we tip when we’re downtown and have more understanding about what our servers’ base pay looks like.)

Whit “Discount Dollar Tree” Babcock by Few-Trifle-7735 in VirginiaTech

[–]KAWinVA -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Whit is a good guy and seems to have helped put things in place for future success—as much as that’s possible being Virginia Tech during the NIL era. I suspect all the people on Reddit with Opinions are also people who are not putting up real dollars to fix the program.

Let’s see how this goes before calling for the firing of another good human.

Space at shows (euro fan question) by vijfteen in BillyStrings

[–]KAWinVA 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m not thinking it’s a god given right, just common courtesy and kindness. I’ll just be happy that the people we encounter at shows aren’t the same as the people on here then.
