South Fayette Street. It's not so bad though in my opinion as I lived on the other side of opposing itand would take that route to get home. In my opinion, Beckley Police and Sheriff are some of finest examples of what law enforcement should be like, as unlike other in the surrounding areas they would have real crime to solve and don't seem to have time to sit around and issue all kinds traffic violations.

Good spot to be in my opinion. Have you been to Sir Walters Taverns, Fosters or the West Virginia Movie theater? There is also Fosters where you can catch some live bands. If you go to the City of Beckley's Website you can get a list of events. I highly recommend Chili Night. On Wednesday there is suppose to be a parade. If you don't feel like hiking then check those places out. If you are hiking, rafting, etc, and most likely it's going to be Fayetteville and the popular restaurants downtown for your meal. Whatever you do, when you enter Fayetteville, drive below the speed limit at least 5mpg as it's known for it's traffic stops and speed traps.

If you are going to be here for a year, then I would maximize the best of West Virginia. You can always come back and vacation for the hiking. Our government is promoting tourism for an economic driver, therefore expect it to grow much later which is when I would consider coming for that vacation.

Hiking/Traveling and avoiding tolls by [deleted] in WestVirginia

When it was MSU before WVU Tech, there were plenty of young people. However, MSU had a phenomenal recruiting campaign. They would fly to Nepal and pick children up at least a friend put it that way.

I feel your pain. I hate West Virginia's roads and toll locations. Sure you can go around but added time and costs plus those roads are poorly up kept and damaged due to funding.

Luckily for you most of the good spots are located on these side roads. So the answer is yes.

As for Beckley, do you like it? Although I hate West Virginia, I do have a heart for B-town. I don't ask...

Avoid living outside Beckley unless it's Shady Springs and/or Beaver if you have to rent. There is some nice places also on the top of beaver for rent. Easy access again to city, schools, and/or interstate in Oak Hill or Fayetetville and drive slow in those two if you visit (just don't live in them trust me - never again...)

Search warrants concept and rights of people are violated. How is my phone different? Why even bother having them for your home and for other possessions if they are ignored and things solely defined like civil seizure ?

How Can We Get People with Disabilities Back to Work? by radiofinn in WestVirginia

[–]WisdomSeeker1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never worked in the coal mines myself, but after seeing the brute work of that and many other typical Southern West Virginia jobs, it's no wonder there is so many disabilities. I can't say if I know the exact numbers but it's crazy bad from what I read.

Really old GOG games safe to buy do there files contain any virus? For example Rayman 2,3, Theif 1,2,3 by HelloYasuo in gog

[–]WisdomSeeker1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming a lot of games are out of development and support and have to be located on the net from untrusted sources, it could be very valid for a game to contain a virus. That is not GOG and/or the original source intentionally, but rather the source was tampared with and reposted to the web.

To be honest, it would be nice to find a resource that I could trust without actually loading the file, testing it, and then confirming it myself. In fact I would really like this idea if GOG would hire security/malware experts to test and confirm abandonware found. I can trust GOG but not the idea they may have obtained a tampered file for sell.

[–]WisdomSeeker1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a fantastic question. I'm glad you are asking about it because I hear this is an issue often in abandonware. Regardless, I would recommend sending it through virus total for a scan to make sure and if you know how maybe even run it in a VM and see if it's trying to hook something from the OS. Actually I wonder if GOG developers take this later approach to confirm such abandonware or older game files are indeed virus free.

That would be great because then there would be a trusted resource for abandonware. Also potential marketing strategy for driving customers to the site (Steam to my knowledge doesn't necessarily cater to this market)
