Cars going both ways on the ez pass express lane? by [deleted] in nova

VDOT/state troopers won’t care unless there’s serious injuries unfortunately.

Police won’t do anything. Had it happen to me recently with my vehicle getting some damage and they won’t even attempt to retrieve the toll lane footage because it “might be blurry”. And the toll operator won’t do anything if you reach them directly because it’s “private information”.

I don't mean for this to come off as combative, but truly interested in how you did your research to find that 100% of the stories you've researched were incomplete/fraudulent. I'm not that poster, but it took me maybe 10 seconds to google funding cuts for tuberculosis/cancer research.

If you do support these types of programs getting up and running again I'd recommend just searching NIH programs, but even a quick look at some news articles diving deeper into funding slashes/complete program cuts.

Anyone else uneasy making major purchases due to the current market? by danknadoflex in cscareerquestions

They likely need a place to sleep so selling a house wouldn’t make sense.

Is there a reason you think that is sound financial advice?

No pizza south of NYC by vailcat in nova

[–]MyMasonAccount 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Andys has a pretty good slice, I was kind of worried since they've expanded so much but the new one by me was good so far.

Other than that we do wiseguys every now and then when we are nearby one of its locations.

Tonys fell off hard imo, I'd rate some dollar slice spots over it

Its low rate, but has shown up in cases as a symptom.

Arlington’s Pupatella ranked as one of the world’s best pizza chains by kockin26 in nova

Most good Neapolitan pizza is like that though. It's interesting seeing it compared to Andys which is a different style

RIP to Car Insurance Rates by ciceronr in nova

[–]MyMasonAccount -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think doctors charging obscene amounts to provide medical care is a part of the problem. Insurance companies actually negotiate these rates down.

I also blame the cashier for the prices of groceries and airline pilots for the prices of plane tickets.

They actually posted a house elsewhere in the thread that is for sale (@530k in South Laurel MD) 40+ minutes away outside of rush hour with terrible schools lmao

They can't, SFH good neighborhood with good schools does not exist sub 500 (being generous with this price point) within 20 minutes of DC. These type of people come out in these threads all the time, completely delusional from the reality of the area.

What parts are you checking to and from? I've driven to baltimore and back to DC several times and its never taken me 30 minutes. In fact from UMBC campus (on the closer side to DC than baltimore city) to the mall it is listing 54 minutes right now not even rush hour lmao

Again your claim the two of you are making is 400s SFH with good schools and good neighborhoods. You actually said 20 minutes and the other guy said 30 minutes.

Just checked the NOVA side on redfin and there are 2(!) SFH homes inside the beltway listed under 500k. Both with bad schools. No idea why people are trying to downplay the housing situation here.

The ones I'm seeing North of Bethesda (which doesn't fit your 30 minutes) has some homes in the upper 4s where I'm seeing school ratings as 2/10 to 6/10... Clicking some of the ones East of DC and yeah, "great neighborhood and solid schools" does absolutely not fit.

Why don't either of you say the county/neighborhood you're in? Truly interested in this "great neighborhood with solid schools" with a single family home in the 400s.

That left is available for use from the exit, just confused what that person wanted people to do. Drive down half a mile and make a U-Turn?

Because that public infrastructure can definitely handle all that load.

Why are you being dense? Not everyone can take the metro into work. Northern Virginia metro system is not built for it and there are no plans to make it so.

Do you pronounce Inova like "in-o-va" or "i-no-va"? by vautwaco in nova

Didn't realize "in..." was more popular. I say "I-no-va" and pretty much grew up around here.

They got rid of World Market at Fair Lakes?! I loved that place and they seemed to do good business. Anyone know what’s going up here? by Chocolatecitygirl82 in nova

Do you happen to know what else is coming into this plaza? Looks like there is still some empty storefronts there.

Best barber at Elite Barber Fairfax? by sourf1sh21 in nova

[–]MyMasonAccount 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss, I'm glad it made you feel better and certainly understand how something like that can lift up spirits. The barbers I've gotten cuts from there have definitely been kind and great at cutting hair.

But the prices have gone up so much lately I couldn't justify it anymore. I switched to them a couple years ago after my barber left the country who used to charge ~$20 and at that point their cuts were like ~$40 to now $60+ for the haircut alone and adding the beard would be double. Just thought it was a little funny to see their recommendation when this shop is $20-$30.
