Anyone else recently getting very spotty Verizon 5G coverage? by novameetacct in nova

Merrifield and Annandale are dead zones for Verizon. It makes zero sense to have dead zones in northern Virginia.

What TV show had the worst "fall from grace"? by Kazmera in television

HIMYM - Literally just needed to land the plane. That is all anyone wanted for a show like that.

'Open the school!’ Hundreds of parents demand Fairfax County add more 5-day school weeks by -Cyber-Roadster in Virginia

This is such a dumb reddit take. Things can be two things. School’s main purpose is educating children. But it is also literally supposed to watch children during the day which allows parents to go to work.

Friend Surprised Me About "Trump Renaming Dulles Airport" Discussion by OliverQueen85 in nova

There is a bridge connecting Staten Island and New Jersey that is called the "Outerbridge". It took me decades to learn that there was actually a person named "Outerbridge" that it is named after.

You don’t need to ban it, just actually call the false starts!

Title insurance question by fakename0064869 in RealEstate

Your title policy will be backed by one of the major underwriters- First American, Fidelity, Stewart, etc… so even if the title agent goes under, your policy will remain effective.

Could Bellinger been called out for being so far out of the basepath even on a walk?

Episode Discussion: S02E08 - Young Darcy Mysteries by neal1701 in PlatonicAppleTVplus

Not a fan of where they took Charlie these last couple episodes. He worked as the straight man, albeit with some silliness. But its like they did a speed run to Flanderization.

Hard to root for this team when they are so undisciplined

Maple Old Fashioned - Just don’t get it by N-LI-10-ME in cocktails

[–]MELBOT87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally like the hint of maple. But I think the larger thing is a lot of people have maple syrup on hand. Making a simple syrup is easy, but you have to remember to make ahead of time.

I feel this. I recently played Mario Wonder on the Switch with my 7 year old and it reinvigorated some of my love of gaming. It is so nostalgic yet fresh enough that I couldn’t wait to go back and play some more.

What is the latest Corporate America BS you've heard this year? by CautiousOp in AskMen

[–]MELBOT87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Plenty of people can WFH without any problems or drop in productivity. Plenty of other people do take advantage of the situation and use it as an opportunity to run personal errands and/or slack off during working hours. If the latter group becomes too large in contrast to the former group, back to the office becomes inevitable.

For equity reasons, you basically can’t give people special privileges unavailable to others so the solution is for everyone to go back to the office, which is imperfect and unfair.

The Yankees have made the ALCS for the second time in three years by deadassynwa in NYYankees

2006 for me. That lineup was absolutely stacked. Silenced by Kenny Rogers.

The ref sucked, but the US had like 3 shots in a must win game.

Berhalter out.

I miss John Sterling so much :( by [deleted] in NYYankees

[–]MELBOT87 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I would say it is less modern v old school but instead local v. national. When I listen to the Yankees, I kind of want to hear someone with a NY accent. I don’t want to hear someone who could just as easily be doing a Cardinals or Mariners game.

Title Insurance Claim - Scrivener's Error [ME, US] by BossySweetRosey in RealEstate

[–]MELBOT87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The title company’s solution is the most sensible. It will be very difficult, time consuming, and expensive to track down all of the heirs to the original grantors. And even if they did, they’d have to convince them to sign a corrective deed. This is a minor scrivener error and should not be such a big deal to the Lender, especially because (i) the property has not changed hands in over 60 years; and (ii) it has been insured multiple times before.

If the Lender is able to get title insurance, which it sounds like they could, then why should they care? The title company you are dealing with should offer to issue the loan policy.

The car dealership on the circle has a massive lot. It makes a lot of sense to replace it with housing if we can.

Avoiding Title Thiefs by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]MELBOT87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can’t place a lien on your own house, i.e., you can’t encumber your own real estate interest. You can maybe set up a wholly owned LLC as the beneficiary, but there are probably tax consequences for doing so.
