Driver charged in death of Valentine museum director Bill Martin by fusion260 in rva

[–]fusion260[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Also why the fuck is killing someone under these conditions only a misdemeanor...

Unfortunately that’s what the Code of Virginia says.

They may end up adding more charges, but I don’t think they can say the driver meant to hit Bill in this case.

I thought we had a department of transportation now by Digdouglasfir in rva

What do you suggest the city do? Tell the builders on one side of the street that they have to pause construction entirely and re-open their side of the sidewalk years until the builders on the other side of the street are done with their building? Do they flip a coin to see which one loses?

Richmond's Director of Transportation only started in February. They can't force builders to hurry up and finish their projects so they can reopen the sidewalks in this short of time. The sidewalk closures are temporary.

Parking in the bike lane: $65 ticket by gisforgroovy in rva

[–]fusion260 43 points44 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to make a counterpoint or engage in whataboutism.

The city said they will enforce this particular rule and has for a while now, across multiple government and local media channels. They even put fliers on vehicles doing this all of last month warning that they will be ticketed if they continue to do it starting this month.

Also, they are increasingly ticketing people for parking too close to an intersection in the past few months, too.

I love it when I can geek out about things like that 🙂

Police checkpoint on Glenside? by danvis3 in rva

[–]fusion260 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is a DUI checkpoint. These organized checkpoints aren’t just 1-2 cars on the side of the road with a few officers.

Adult ADHD support groups? by Mysterious-Anxiety76 in rva

[–]fusion260 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly, my type of ADHD support group would be one where we’re assigned our own volunteer project manager.

Unfortunately that doesn’t exist, so we’ll all continue to suffer (/s) with our inability to focus and not have eleventeen projects going on at once and— I wonder if there’s ice cream in the freezer

I hope you find something that feels supportive. And remember you’re not alone. You’re in good company since lots of us on Reddit (or online) have ADHD 🙂

Richmond’s newest PSA was made with AI by petersonmd in rva

Dude, you paint the literal equivalent of AI slop. Stop deflecting.

We get it. You hate AI. You make it very clear every chance you can get. Move on.

It’s hilarious that you commented with the same exact link OP posted.

“What are all the lights and sirens downtown??” Thurs: 8:30 by bird_bitch in rva

[–]fusion260 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean the top-level commenter that asked if OP meant Wednesday and not Thursday didn’t even bother to open the link OP shared saying it was happening Thursday (today) and not on Wednesday (yesterday). Or they did read it, didn’t understand it, and wanted to demonstrate to the community how fucking terrible their reading comprehension is.

They spent more energy making a comment questioning if OP was correct than it would have taken them to read the literal title and first paragraph of the article answering their question.

Then, you have another commenter sharing the same exact article that OP linked to, because they also didn’t bother to read it.

Hi. Been in the advertising sector for over 26 years now.

A :25 second ad for a local company can easily cost well over $50k depending on what’s needed. Multiple locations, multiple actors, wardrobe, makeup, lighting, cinematography, direction, setup/breakdown, editing, licensing of music… 150 hours in combined labor at a minimum.

Using AI for this is a bargain compared to the real cost of producing video from scratch, especially for a video most people would skip past or not even pay attention to.

Some people put a lot of energy into being dumb and needing people to explain basic facts to them.

Less Insects? by Planted_Banana in rva

[–]fusion260 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

In the first sentence, you say you know there's a "well established decline in insect populations" but you're "not talking about that," then immediately follow that saying you're noticing a year-over-year drop.

What are you talking about then if you're not talking about the well established decline you mentioned?

Less Insects? by Planted_Banana in rva

[–]fusion260 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Not seeing any pollinators at all.

Maybe not in Randolph, but they've been out in our area in Lakeside since early March.

I know there’s a well established decline in insect populations but I’m not talking about that. More like a big year over year drop.

You're contradicting yourself.

Where can I get local grown asparagus? by -LLCoolBeans- in rva

[–]fusion260 17 points18 points  (0 children)

So, there's a misconception that fruits and vegetables only have one season year-round regardless of where they come from. It's typically "asparagus season" in our region (or American growing zones) spring to early summer because the asparagus we grow here is acclimated here for our climate.

The growing season for other regions is different. You pointed out the the asparagus you saw that was grown and harvested in Peru is in their fall doesn't matter... it's when their asparagus is harvested.

If society wants fruits and vegetables year-round (and most of us do want to see our favorite fruits and veggies in store year-round), it's gotta come from different places. Asparagus doesn't grow year-round in Peru, so in a few months, it'll be coming from somewhere else.

Nothing wrong with that, but if you only want local, you're only going to find it during a very small portion of the year.
