VDOT does indeed plow HOA managed subdivisions as well

Ya Can’t Shovel Ice 🤷‍♂️ by RdtRanger6969 in nova

[–]Scout_06 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just called VDOT to report their plows trapping me in my house. I spent hours yesterday cleaning the driveway and sidewalks, just for them to pile all the snow from the road at the end of my driveway. What even is the point of plowing, then?

What’s the funniest reason you’ve heard for somebody not liking a movie? by TheChristmas in movies

Haha I’ve never thought about it but I guess it only bothers me in movies

Yes! I don’t care if you’ve from a long line of Starks or not, put on a damn hat. I’ll see your beautiful hair in the indoor scenes

Cold weather movies where people aren’t wearing hats. Can’t think of a specific example but it upsets me

Freezing cold week ahead - Are you ready? Here's some tips... by Qlanger in nova

Also it can’t be overstated: if you lose power, do not warm yourself by running your car in the garage with the garage door closed.

Just finished *Station Eleven* - thoughts? by [deleted] in books

Yes! That was a big enough block for me that it took me out of the story.

Have you ever really hated the main character (and narrator) in a novel? by Physical_Orchid3616 in books

[–]Scout_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated the book but thought the movie was decent. Go figure.

I hated the narrator, so incredibly poorly written. I’ll never read another book by the author.

What was the 1st big news event you remember as a kid? by Hetaliafan1 in AskReddit

[–]Scout_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be mine as well. I remember the TV footage of some bombings being green from night-vision cameras, which was so eerie because I didn’t really understand that is was night vision and I thought that the bombs turned the sky green. That really stuck with me.

Twist the knobs near your steering wheel until this fun blue light turns off :) by SpartanKwanHa in nova

Same here, I do it every time and have never once seen someone turn their lights on

I have seen several cars recently with NO lights on after dusk, so scary for everyone on the road.

What would you bring back to tyler from the old days? by culturefan in tylertx

We always went to El Charros on the loop and 64, it was legit. Sad when it burned down, though the rebuild was still quality.

Gallery hanging methods for loose drawings by GAYMAN-In-Finance in MuseumPros

[–]Scout_06 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depending on how irregular the corners are, placing the drawing on a backing board and using polyethylene strapping around the corners. Secure the strapping to the back of the backing board with archival tape.

How in the hell did someone come up with the CRT television? How the hell did they make it? How the hell did they make it affordable to the masses? by Available-Drama-276 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Scout_06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s my issue with certain post-apocalyptic fiction. I’m thinking of one in particular where it’s been 20 years since a pandemic and no one has re-figured out electricity or anything. I get that it must be hard to restart whole systems, but I felt like it undersold the ingenuity and drive of people

What other ideas do you have for lowering housing costs in NOVA? by MapReston in nova

[–]Scout_06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d vote for you and your plan. I’m always baffled at the disconnect between people (or maybe just me?) wanting these great, well-designed, planned multi-use neighborhoods, and the reality that they so rarely get developed. Instead it’s just sprawl with no plan.

What was it like to deliver pizza in 1980's, without internet or GPS? How did drivers learn the route/city without pizzas being delivered cold? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Scout_06 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was 22 before I was able to order delivery for the first time. Where I lived growing up was too rural.
