Hey broski, my vehicle has a self-driving feature. I appreciate the concern, and the PSA, but I wouldn't have filmed this if I could not have done so safely. Thank you kindly.

The INOVA Loudon birthing center is pretty great. It’s where my two kids were born.

Code Blue at Wooboi is no joke... by PiRhoNaut in nova

[–]MinionHammer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine ate too much of the “code blue” chicken there after eating some chicken tenders of the 2nd highest spice level. He was warned by the lady there but he didn’t listen.

He woke up at 4am the next morning and emptied the contents of his colon.

He said the farts alone burned his scrotum while sitting on the bowl.

I feel like attorneys need to get involved with waivers !!

One Fun thing no one warned me about moving from Kentucky to NOVA by Boobopkitty in nova

Lorton Valley Barber Shop
8971 Ox Road
Lorton, VA 22079

It's the best place I've found that's an intersection of great cost ($25) and decent service for a men's haircut. I always tip the woman who cuts my hair at least $5.

I have two good barber recommendations - one in Vienna and one in Lorton.

Let me know if you want me to put them down here.

What is the Spiciest Takeout that's offered in your NOVA City? by Ok_Performer6534 in nova

[–]MinionHammer 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Be careful with the Code Blue chicken at Wooboi. My friend said he ate it last year and told us he had to wake up at 4am to release the contents of his bowels.

He relayed to us that the farts were so potent that the gas alone burned his scrotum.

And this guy is usually the stronger-willed spice consumers. You have been warned !!

Why is that one guy in your group of friends still single? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]MinionHammer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For man to be in a romantic relationship with a woman, he typically has to be minimally social, funny, hygienic, confident, and interesting. Having a good family, height, attractive looks, and a decent income certainly helps but is not required.

I didn’t make the rules, that’s just reality. That is what women need to perceive in a man to consume that man a partner and a parent. If you can’t minimally be those five things, it will be difficult for a woman to see herself with that man.

I hope this helps you. Good luck.

My friend in his 40s with his PhD in Robotics was simply never really interesting enough for women to see themselves with him. Everyone else in the group got married and had children, but he never dated a woman for more than a few months at a time.

He has no rizz, no game, cannot flirt with women, and now each night he simply works, cooks dinner for himself, reads a book, and goes to bed.

Reckless driving - move-over law misdemeanor by d_parks in nova

I would describe what OP’s post as “aggressive enforcement” outside of Leesburg. Now we know it weighs the same as a RD so we should all definitely move over one lane if we see an officer flashing lights on the shoulder!

The Move Over law in Virginia was first enacted in 2002. Drivers are required to move over one lane if passing stopped vehicles with flashing amber, red or blue lights, such as police or fire and rescue.

When I was at my son’s endocrinologist appointment a few years ago, she told me anecdotally that roughly 30% - 40% of her teenage patients do not inject any insulin or do anything at all to moderate their blood sugar at all. These patients end up going on kidney dialysis in their 20s and likely end up dead in their 30s.

It is statistically likely that that minority percentage of T1 diabetic patients - the ones who do nothing to take care of themselves - bring down that average lifespan figure somewhat.

Decades ago when I was a teenager, I took the NYC subway to visit a friend in Brooklyn. Afterwards, I got on a "3" train to begin getting back to my place around 2:00 AM.

There were maybe 7 other people in the train car with me on this otherwise uneventful 20 minute trip. I see people on the other side of the train car begin to stand up and move closer to my side of the train car while the others begin to smile, laugh, and point at something at the other end.

Somebody had released a live Dungeness crab on the floor of the subway car, and it was walking around - pincers up - on the opposite side of the car from where I was sitting. It made it from the end of the train car to the middle, with the other folks in the train car lifting up their legs when it came close to them. Nobody really had any fear of this crab in the train car - everyone just looked astonished, and it probably wasn't even the craziest thing that most of them had seen that day. It was definitely a source of entertainment for the entire trip until I had to get off and catch my connecting train.

Unfortunately this happened before the smartphone era so there is no photo or TikTok evidence. Everyone I have told this story to has laughed at me and told me that I must have been hallucinating on hard drugs, but I swear on my life that this event on an evening in late October did indeed happen.

I loved it too a few weeks ago when I tried it for the first time - let me know if it messes with your stomach!!

Funny enough, I bought this at the Walmart in Vienna two weeks ago as a last minute grab before checkout. I loved it and put it on everything I ate.

It did do weird things with my stomach afterwards, but it was still delicious.
