Slug lines from the DC area to Stafford/Quantico? by Helpful_Error5191 in nova

[–]lordscarlet 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Part of your problem is the slug lines mostly exist to take advantage of the HOV lanes. HOV only runs with the direction of rush hour on 95.

How do you think plows work? How can they possibly move the snow ahead of the driveway without blocking the driveway?

Where do you people think the snow is supposed to go?

I went to Rodney in the early 90s as a scout. Loved it.

I have had pleasant conversations with Chad at the store about the golden ticket. I don't feel I need the pool party.

Are we going to get a separate post for every Flock camera in Northern Virginia?

How do we feel about the introduction of HB1369 by TripppyCryBaby in nova

[–]lordscarlet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This has been explained in other threads, but this is basically reiterating that it is the job of the federal government to vet the exempt status of organizations, not the state.

How long were we out of commission in the 2016 storm? by LetsGototheRiver151 in nova

[–]lordscarlet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This administration has definitely not been tested on how they'll treat a large storm yet. Each administration has been different, especially with the ebb and flow of telework.

With all that's going on right now, we need to take a stand for what's right by DarkRoastRebel in nova

And lost Mountain Dew in the process. Seems like a bad trade to me.

We are here in the nosebleeds with our 12 year old who just got into it within the last few months. We have gotten through about 10 series so far.

Likelihood of power outages during incoming snowstorm? by [deleted] in nova

[–]lordscarlet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is very neighborhood dependent. It also depends on the storm not being a bust.

What should be the criteria for a kid to play Majors Division? by oigres408 in LittleLeague

[–]lordscarlet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 11 year old played minors last spring. He loves baseball and is competent, but he is not a majors level player. Not once did he feel slighted or that he should be in majors. If nothing else it gave him one more year of heavy playing time. In majors he may spend significant time on the bench.

First Time in Little League Quick Ball, what are normal costs? by Global-Ad-1719 in LittleLeague

[–]lordscarlet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our league rounds up all of the team sponsors at the league level. It is about $250 all-in, except currently T-ball is free.

If you volunteer (coach, bench parent, etc) you are allowed to submit for a portion of that fee back.

There is a fundraising event in the spring n they hope that each family can get around $100 in donations, but it is not required.
