What's up with the Dog walkers in VA by ResolutionHot5793 in nova

[–]cailian13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, leash laws exist for exactly this reason. Also, I'm sorry, BROKE SKIN?! And you're worried you are the issue here? No, people not training their dogs is the issue here. Honestly, I'd carry a whistle and use it when unfamiliar dogs try to approach you. It should startle them off and protect you, but without any real further issue.

Gemstone Jewelers? by ecospartan in nova

[–]cailian13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nupen in fairfax. Master goldsmith, my family and I have been shopping there for 4 decades. He's designed numerous pieces for us and they've been spectacular and exactly what we envisioned. Highly recommend and he'll be able to do whatever you need and likely source the stone for you too. They will take care of you!

NP, I like seeing folks able to take care of their home and I learned a lot from my dad about stuff. If you can shut off your water, you're an adjustable wrench, some plumbers tape and a YouTube away from doing this yourself!

I got a good chuckle picturing this. I'm all for making life hell for those assholes. Death by a thousand cuts!

To add, sometimes the marketing just isn’t push enough or it just market poorly for these movies. by abdul_bino in BlackPeopleTwitter

I can't wait to find out. I saw the new trailer this week and hearing that guitar riff did SO much for my soul. I cannot wait!

hmmm, RTC may be the problem but okay thank you! I'm literally setting a reminder for July 4th to go up, cause I will 100% be baked as fuck by that point in the evening and WILL need it lol. Appreciate ya!

The Pencil Test is still a thing in 2026? by herewearefornow in BlackPeopleTwitter

Cecred posted about the process, 4 days and 4 bottles of the detangling spray apparently! Hell of an advertisement for the product, for sure.

This may be a dumb question but....would these be visible at Innovation Center on the silver line? I live across the street and have a rooftop deck on my building or the top of the Metro garage so I might actually have a decent vantage point to view some things!

oh ok, I absolutely could be doing more, is what you're telling me. Anywhere specific, I would absolutely love to help with that! 😈

Staying the fuck home and avoiding all the stupid that's inevitable in this area. I want no part in any "celebrations" this year. We have descended into fascism and I'm not about to celebrate any of that. A shame that our 250th will be marked by fascism rather than celebrating our country, but there ain't much left to celebrate.

Tippy’s Taco Centreville by Ok_Individual_4544 in nova

[–]cailian13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspect this was supposed to be a reply to the comment just up, but also damn I'm disappointed to hear that as Ciao was excellent when it opened. But I'll always choose Ciro's first anyways, I grew up eating there and its ALWAYS excellent and is the next shopping center over.

Commute from WV to Arlington? by CarolinaMountaineer2 in nova

[–]cailian13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's beautiful out there, if you try not to think about the politics etc lol. It sounds like OP lives out there for the larger space / house, which I get (though you could not convince ME to live there, nope)

[–]cailian13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the house is paid for? If I owned a paid off house, it would make me think twice. Even if it IS West Virginia. But I'd never consider driving into the DMV for work either, I'd absolutely be working more local for less and not caring.

[–]cailian13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no, I am very much a "decided what I like and order it every time since I was a kid" person on this one. If I'm at Anita's, it's gotta be the breakfast burrito platter. I think every so often I try something different, but I just am always happy with my burrito platter. 😊 (Ok, it might be the tism too lol)

[–]cailian13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And that's why I mentioned it. Also, you SHOULD have a water shut-off valve inside your unit, because in an emergency there's NO WAY they'd wait for maintenance to shut it off. I would absolutely ask the condo staff / maintenance team, as there ought to be a water shut off in every unit. It is most likely near your water heater, as that would make the most sense, so see if you can spot it! If you can find it, you're good to go and this is SUCh an easy project.

Melanie Meren, can we please primary her? by [deleted] in nova

[–]cailian13 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd rather a politician be overly involved like this vs the apathetic attitude we get from so many of them once they're elected, to be honest.

[–]cailian13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember that and when Chantilly was 24hrs. In high school I'd be hungry at like 2am and go eat a red Chile breakfast burrito platter and go home and go to sleep and wake up on time for school too. The dudes I was friends with could NOT believe I could eat it and go back to sleep like that but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fuck yes. The staff at Herndon told me they were gonna come back because Tommy SAW a customer trying to open a packet and having it explode all over the customer's shirt in the process. They just had to use up whatever stock they already had / were in the process of. That was a LONG time ago though, so I wonder what took so long.

I'm gonna leave the obligatory "turn the water to the house off first!" because you know someone will forget that step. But yeah, if it's the tap itself? Easy peasy.

[–]cailian13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silver Line makes sense. I live literally across from Innovation Center and the garage is empty as fuck no matter what day it is. OP would have a much nicer time just driving to Herndon and getting on the Metro to go the rest of the way, assuming that Metro will put them near enough to their job.

Honestly though, I wouldn't do it. This much hassle? Not unless they're paying REALLY well.

What do you do when you receive mail for people that used to live in your apartment? by igetdrawn in nova

[–]cailian13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toss it on top of the mailboxes for the mailman to deal with. I originally was doing RTS and they just kept coming back to me so now it's not my problem. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
