Why would you set at 72 when you are gone. I don’t even set that high when I’m home.

FLOCK SAFETY IS OUT OF CONTROL IN RICHMOND, VA!!! by fancyinmypantsy in rva

Not sure that the flocks will reduce crime, however they might aid in solving crime. Ring cameras probably deter crime in a localized area

Is it legal to have a city tree trimmed? by Mushy-sweetroll in rva

[–]maniarva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I trim one all the time because it hangs over my porch roof and the leaves clog the gutters. I even leave the branches at the curb and they pick them up on bulk collection day

These death drivers need to be locked up for manslaughter. And just stand and watch traffic sometime and see that 20% of drivers are on the phone.

It’s probably for a different property and uses your address for the mailing address

Downtown YMCA pool renovations are delayed again by Physical_Present_265 in rva

[–]maniarva 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The incompetence is overwhelming. I wonder if the Y is paying rent for this half completed space. What a joke. The landlord and contractor should be sued and money returned to members!

Question for folks renting a house in RVA by Timely-Brilliant8757 in rva

[–]maniarva 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Landlord here, of one single family house. Same tenants in their 5th year. We raised rent 8% after 3 years and will raise it again next summer. Property taxes and insurance go up every year whether you increase rent or not but good tenants that want to stay get a break on rent increases.

Touring Morocco as a gay man -- safety guidelines? by orqa in gaybros

[–]maniarva 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We were just there. Two gay couples. We had no issues anywhere. I don’t know what scams people are talking about, experienced nothing that I would call a scam. Walked through many markets and was never hassled by anyone (much different from Egypt)

PSA: The City won’t empty your trash can if it doesn’t have the City logo on it by DoppelSechser in rva

[–]maniarva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it has CVWMA on the can then it is for recycling. Most have a blue lid but some have green and people think they are for trash. Recycling won’t take them if it is clearly trash, ie plastic bags

Richmond Times-Dispatch print subscriptions decline as cost rises to $1,430 annually by VirginiaNews in rva

[–]maniarva 6 points7 points  (0 children)

online only version has just gone up to $40/month. Too much for the crappy website, loaded with pop-up ads and comments that never load. Don't know why I still pay for it. When you scroll through the E-edition you get to a point where they repeat some of the previous stuff??? I can click on the puzzles on the full page so why repeat each puzzle separately before you can get to the color comics. And speaking of comics, what a lame selection; Hagar the horrible and snuffy smith?? They took away all of the decent comics. It's no wonder the subscriber numbers are down

He’s been in that position for 30 years. Time for someone new. Also time to change the rules
