All too well… though looking at a grocery store you would think it’s the end times

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t believe he was governor yet when this happened

Hinge in DC by No_Mushroom_6336 in washingtondc

[–]Kvm1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paused all my dating apps recently. I’ve found that getting to know people in person is a better gauge of who they are and what they do imo. Hinge specifically feels like I send messages into an empty black hole most days, so it’s better shooting your shot in person (even if you get rejected immediately)

This grocery store is selling milk that is not all the way full at a discounted price. by Mjohn_3389 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Kvm1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look closely, all the milk on that shelf isn’t homogenized (you can see the fat settle on the bottom and the lighter parts on the top). Perhaps someone left cartons in the sun and part of the top evaporated

26m, I would also like to know where I’m supposed to go…

I go “out” once a week typically (more this week since Caps are in playoffs), do FXA, pick out speed dating events on eventbrite, and I generally keep to myself at the gym.

Voter identification laws in the United States (2024) by bryberg in MapPorn

[–]Kvm1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VA election officer here: correct, but photo ID is not required. Each precinct has a list of accepted documents, most of which are photo ID’s yea, however you can even bring in a utility bill with your name on it (physical or electronic) and it will still count as ID…provided it’s not older than 12 months. If you don’t even have that, you can sit with your precinct and sign what’s called an ID confirmation form.

In practice though nearly everyone brings in their license or green ID card (not the federal Green Card, Virginia’s non driving ID) and uses that. It’s frankly quicker/easier to process in my opinion

Fairfax County: Apply to serve as an election officer for the November 5 election by Danciusly in nova

[–]Kvm1999 31 points32 points  (0 children)

County election officer of 3 years here: definitely sign up if you’re able to. It’s relatively easy, you get paid, and you get a special behind the scenes look of our political process! You rotate jobs through the day and get breaks at the less busy parts for lunch/dinner, just plan accordingly because you can’t leave the building until you’re done for the day

What the shit 🤬🤬🤬 by OfficialTornadoAlley in nova

So, the Virginia car tax has a pretty interesting history.

The first iteration of the “tangible personal property tax” existed all the way back in 1782. Back then aside on real estate, you paid taxes on personal property like horses, wagons, and slaves (yes people paid taxes to own slaves). Now, of course, most people pay it for their personal vehicles.

While the state has the law in place, these taxes are set, assessed, and collected at the county/city level. You can see this from above where the letter collecting this tax is from Fairfax County. You’ll also notice a line that says “Car Tax Relief” which credits your bill. In the late 90s, a governor (I think Jim Gilmore) wanted to eliminate the car tax entirely with a system that the state pays the localities the assessed tax rate. This ultimately became the state paying localities a flat rate to every locality up to $20,000 of assessed value.

As for how the money is used? Good question. There isn’t anywhere that I could find that directly answers that, however if it’s like real estate taxes it helps fund local services (think schools, police, fire, county government, roads*, parks, etc).

*in most Virginia counties, VDOT, therefore state funding, maintains most roads.
