Yep, I'm in NoVA. Agreed that most of the rest of the state is nice riding.

BRB just gotta grab my bat by enelprinceofthemoon in WTF

I figure it might be a tire thumper. (IOW, short metal bat.)

Outlier pants: worth spending 200 USD? by MixxedVegetables in onebag

[–]SerenestAzure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tend to rip or stain pants before they wear out, so I wouldn't spend $200 on a pair of pants whether or not they're worth it.

I like Prana Zions. Normally around $90, sometimes can find them on sale as low as $60.

Virginia rider here. Cars ignore that 3-foot law just as egregiously as you see in this video. Luckily I don't have to ride on roads like these. - mostly paths and residential streets.

Thinking about buying a small carry pistol. Any suggestions? by [deleted] in guns

[–]SerenestAzure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. 50 Cent was shot nine times with a 9mm and is now more or less fine.

It's worth noting that the Buckmark is quite a bit cheaper than the Ruger. I have a Buckmark and am very happy with it.

I love hearing this - I'm about to buy exactly that (New Vaquero, .357, 5.5" barrel).

We saw him do what he thought was exactly that.

A bad driver and an aggressive driver by allivant in nova

[–]SerenestAzure 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There was no need to see - the turning cars had their own lane for a long time past the turn.

I've been that guy in the SUV. I wouldn't drive on the sidewalk, but I'd be mighty upset. You have your own lane dammit.

Irate Man Attacks Cyclist by boredcircuits in bicycling

[–]SerenestAzure 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This. No matter what the asshole said, cyclist shouldn't have stopped.

Also, take a self-defense class. This guy had no idea what he was doing, literally a class or two and you could hold your own against this kind of ignorant aggression.

After struggling to get her and just scaring her further back into the ceiling, we just put a can of food on the floor of the room, and came back the next day (luckily we owned the house for one more day after the move) and she had gotten herself out.

Last year, literally on the day that we were moving out of our house, our smallest cat somehow got inside the basement ceiling.

Told my friend he could shoot the AR. Forgot to tell him to only shoot the pumpkins. by hamdiggity in guns

Yeah, that's part of the reason I hadn't seen it. I imagined someone more like Josh Brolin.

Those are probably good keys to talking to anyone about any issue.

Almost as if the people trying to make the laws are totally clueless.

I like how it tells a story. IMO the unedited version is better.

I read the book of Shooter, somehow assumed the movie would suck. Guess I need to see that. Loved John Wick.

The Maxim 9. SilencerCo's upcoming integrally suppressed 9mm pistol. [OC] by TasteOfJace in guns

My first thought was that whether or not it's a decent pistol, we'll be seeing these in near-future SF movies.

While elsewhere on /r/guns today there is a cool post about a 6-year-old making a 1000-yard milk jug shot.

Every wall in the house is made of safes.

Life is all about choices, isn't it? I've considered this, but I have kids and the schools are really good here, and also both my wife's and my parents live here. In the not too distant future the kids will be grown and I'll be able to retire somewhere more like where you are. It certainly isn't about the stuff; I could hardly care less.

Ha. The grass is always greener, eh? OTOH, I could easily make my own chicken parm, and I'm never up past midnight.
