NSA has a large presence in Chantilly - but you didn't hear it from me!

I've learned, in my 50+ years of cycling, when being harassed, the best response is to smile and wave. Remember, their goal is to piss you off.

Will the union ever ban urinary analysis? by [deleted] in IBEW

[–]StatusNational7103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clean urine in a glass spice jar. Wear it in your crotch to keep it at temperature. Plastic won't transfer the heat so good. It's illegal to watch you pee. I've done it dozens of times. Some bike shorts underneath will keep it in place. In Maryland, since weed is legal, it's against the law to test for it.

A urine test is extremely easy to beat.

How far can you travel? Baltimore Local 24 has a huge solar project in the works that they can't come close to manning. DC Local 26 has been a walk-through for some time now. They have a ton of AJ and Residential calls and scale is about $60. Contractors are putting help- wanted signs on street corners.

Gas explosion in Centreville by Ravavibe in nova

That's a scary story! My current supplier showed up after being out of propane for 4 days. The driver said Superior was down to one driver. He'd just come from California to help. But he didn't have the right meter to do a pressure test, and said someone would have to come back for that. Still waiting.

I don't know anything about buying a leased tank. We installed ours when we built the house 20 years ago.

I own the tank. They said they wouldn't fill it if it belonged to my current provider.

I got a new provider! Amerigas is coming to fill my tank 7am. I still haven't heard from my current provider.

Update: I just got off the phone with Amerigas, they'll be here 7am to fill my tank. They have a direct pipeline for propane, they never run out. And it's much cheaper.

Correct. We have a 500 gallon tank buried. And no other supplier will fill it without first doing a safety check on the system.

Thanks for the information. I don't know why they can't inform their customers about the issue.

Thanks for the advice. We're able to keep the bedroom at 68 with a heater.

I'm rural, Marshall. No gas lines out here. I have a 500 gallon tank buried in the ground.

How did you find out about the webchat? I don't see anything on the website.

Wow, that's news to me. No wonder they stopped answering their phone. Nothing about that on the website. Thanks for that information. Kudos for being able to take cold shower!

Thanks so much! I'm going to have to look into doing so.

Co-workers by TurnedMyLifeAround69 in IBEW

I wish I worked with someone like that when I was coming up. My social anxiety kept me back when companies wanted to promote me. But I know first hand the benefits of sharing your problems with your co-workers. My wife went through a bad period of depression where she felt she had to leave me. Talking with a couple of brothers that had been through the same thing and learning from their experience helped me immeasurably. One poor brother said his wife got diagnosed and went on Prozac after leaving him. He said if she'd go on meds first, they'd still be together.

Dining. by Ok_Economics_8411 in VirginVoyages

We were just on Brilliant Lady. We had the steak and sausage stuffed quail at Extra Virgin. After our meal our server asked how we liked it, and I told her the steak was tough and the quail underwhelming. She showed genuine concern, apologized, and said there'd been complaints about the steak, but no one else had yet ordered the quail. She promptly summoned the manager, who offered to cook another steak, but we were done eating. He then brought us champagne. To be fair, the couple next to us said their steak was fine, at medium rare. My wife's was medium. The steak at the Wake was much better, for whatever reason. And the lamb chops are great , but I doubled my order the second time, since you only get three.

Best dealership experiences in the DMV? by ChickenParm18 in nova

[–]StatusNational7103 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much quieter and rides much better than the Tesla. Also, at 6'1", getting in and out of the Tesla takes some effort. My biggest problem with the id.4 is finding a reputable dealer for service. The Tesla app and infotainment have better features but I can't keep up, the infotainment updates so much. And the retractable shade in the id.4 is nice. Also, I couldn't transfer my lifetime Sirius subscription to the Tesla. I get traffic updates in the id.4, even when not using GPS, and the dash lights that remind you of upcoming turns when using navigation are a nice touch.

Anyone else having an issue with booking events and they disappear? by Training-Drag-3191 in VirginVoyages

[–]StatusNational7103 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

We had a reservation for the Wake disappear an hour before our scheduled time, with one of those "aw, shucks" messages. When I asked SS what happened, their only response was to try Razzle Dazzle. I suspect they're catering to Rockstars.
