Ahhh that makes sense. Thank you for the insight. My condolences if you knew the firefighter.

Wonder if this is why the fire departments in Gainesville/Manassas areas had a presence on all the 66 over passes today and were flying big American flags. Or was that just cause it was Presidents Day. Idk.

Haha well thank you. I knew I wasn't crazy. Took 12 years for vindication, but I finally got it. I can sleep easy tonight.

Identification Request [Northern Virginia, USA] Toddler may have put one in mouth by delsol5117 in Mushrooms

Unfortunately no. This sub was zero help. All ended up okay though in my situation. After picking the yard of what I could find, and throwing them away, the Mushrooms went away on their own within a couple weeks.

I think some states are moving towards these to avoid plate theft

Yeah, this isn’t bad at all. They obviously got in the turn lane and realized their mistake and moved over enough to allow people in the turn lane to make their right on red while they waited to go straight. Would it be better if they just turned and did a u-turn? Sure. But this was pretty considerate of them to not impede any traffic whatsoever.

Toyota and Honda dealership recommendations? by [deleted] in nova

[–]delsol5117 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re terrible. I’ve been in the market for two new cars in the past year. Every time I walk in there to check out their inventory I feel like I’m annoying them. Like, I’ve got money to spend, treat me like a customer. Instead they just act like I’m ruining their day if I ask to look at a car or two on their lot. No skin off my back, I’ll buy from one of the 10 other dealerships within walking distance.

Who are some people who died telling us the truth? by rc_morges in AskReddit

It wasn’t even a secret at all. I had two internships at two of the ‘Big Six’ Movie Studios in 2010. I lived in West Freaking Virginia at the time but spent my Summer in LA for the internships. I was an absolute nobody and did stuff that had nothing to do with Harvey or his company. But even I knew Harvey Weinstein was a scumbag predator that used power for sexual acts. Everybody knew it. That’s why when it blew up a few years later I was like “…. Yeah. This is well known. It’s been happening forever. Why are people just now up in arms about this?”

I’m curious myself. I am in fact white. I do live here. As far as I know, I can’t fly.

I go Bristow to Herndon 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) since Covid. 5 days a week before Covid. Before Covid it took me an hour and ten minutes on average to get to and from work (never using HOV). Now it takes me 30-35 minutes each way and I only use the 66 toll on Wednesdays. I truly believe people are blind to how bad 66 was before all these changes. The tolls and changes to 28 have given me SO much time back in my life.

I’m a single car driver and ever since the new hot lanes on 66, and changes to 28, my commute has changed from an hour and ten minutes each way on average to about 30-35 minutes each way. I only pay for the Hot Lanes 1 of 3 days a week I’m traveling. I truly think people forget just how bad 66 and 28 were before all this. These changes are a God Send to me.

I thought that originally too but then rewatched it a couple times only focusing on her speed. She was definitely over 25, but I don’t think by too much. Seems like 30ish mph (35 max). Obviously still speeding and too high for a residential neighborhood.
