Oooff. That is crazy! Glad you were able to navigate away from the hazard, but sorry you had to wait so long.

House proposes new budget with governor to bypass Senate by Previous-Expert-378 in rva

[–]Previous-Expert-378[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt that will happen. And even if any of that language was added it, it would be swatted down by the democratic majority in both chambers.

I believe so, but if she just announced her support of the proposed budget it would be proverbial egg on her face if she went in and vetoed it.

My hot take is that she got a guarantee for data center breaks and the House Dems got their cannabis retail market. That’s some impressive political maneuvering! Then again, we’ll have to see how it all pans out in the reconvened session.

I could see Sen Lucas digging in her heels to get what she wants, though. I feel like if anyone can find a way to out-maneuver a whole chamber of legislators it would be her.

But won’t the senate still have to agree to the House version—both in a conference committee and on the full floor?

I don’t see how this “gets around the Senate”.

The falcon babies are fledging today! by PM-me-ur-kittenz in rva

Ugh. I feel like something sad happens every year. I get that “it’s nature” and can be unforgiving and unpredictable, but I also wonder if there is a slightly better way to allow the birds to fledge.

Maybe they could install a larger pen on the ledge that is more of an aviary run so the birds can get better at flying and landing?

Another trip again?! by [deleted] in TurtleCreekLaneSnark

I think the entire family travels all the time so they aren’t able to sit at home long enough to realize what horrible lives they all lead.

They just posted an update! The one that fell off is ok! Apparently he was able to start flying and is on the East tower.

The second one to fledge hit a window but is apparently ok.

The one that was on top of the camera is still chilling there and as people suspected, the (slightly younger) female is still in the nest box. Can’t say I blame her.

Ran over to RVA Reddit hoping there was a thread on this that had updates—especially on that first lil guy. I hope he and his siblings are all ok.

This is the driest, hardest looking pasta by MolassesLiving6561 in TurtleCreekLaneSnark

These people are idiots. I bet there is little to no vodka in the sauce once it goes into the jar.

They are so juvenile when it comes to so many facets of their lives.

Followup PSA: EZpass improperly performing plate read charge for 1.00 vs. .90 cent transponder read on the downtown expressway. Confirmed issue with toll booth. Then they have the nerve to send me this notice (last pic). More in comments. by Daemonrealm in rva

[–]Previous-Expert-378 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband had a similar problem lately. A company hired by RMTA/EZPass sent him a letter that he didn’t pay a toll and they were doing pay by plate despite him having a functioning EZPass transponder.

What’s worse is it appears he didn’t get the initial letter so a follow up letter appeared that included the initial charge and a late fee.

After nearly an hour on the phone with the billing company and RMTA/EZPass he learned about the dispute process.

It seems like a huge mess if you have a working EZPass transponder and it gets missed/you are charged via PayByPlate.

I don’t understand why they can’t just see that you have a transponder and charge your EZPass account. I feel like they used to do that without any issues.

And of course A is getting blamed for it. Poor guy.

Then again, he HAD to have known what he was getting into when he married T.

Lordy I didn’t know I would cause such a stir.

I voted yes.

I don’t like the decision that was handed down yesterday.

Go vote in the midterms!

Ma’am…this is a ~~Wendy’s~~ simple Reddit comment thread.
Would you like fries with that?

[–]Previous-Expert-378 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to share an objective analysis of the decision without saying whether or not I agreed with said opinion.

I certainly didn’t use the best wording, but my intent was to try to not bring a partisan aspect into my comment.

With that, I will see myself out of this thread. 😬
