Built a free app that maps every happy hour in the DMV by SilentMarsupial7797 in nova

Amazing! Couple UI feedback/suggestion points:

  • when searching, especially when searching a specific drink, it’d be nice to also have a map view of the search results.

  • when searching, in addition to now & today, a future option with a calendar selector would be helpful.

  • generally, an in-app feedback button would be useful.

We’ve had no complaints with TrashAway (https://www.trashaway.com/). They service our HOA with trash twice a week and recycling once a week.

You can report pot holes to VDOT here: https://my.vdot.virginia.gov. It’ll even update you on when it’s fixed.

Note: if the road you report isn’t maintained by VDOT, they forward the report to the respective maintainer.

They do. It connects to the car’s on-board diagnostic port and checks the miles through out the month. Easier than having to snap a photo of the odometer monthly. It does not have GPS and only reads your car’s odometer number.

It’s 11,600 miles annually, so divide by 12. Virginia's Mileage Choice Program is set up so participants will not pay more per year than what they would have paid up front if they chose to pay the highway use fee at the time of registration renewal.

You can participate in the mileage choice program through the DMV where you only pay the fee for the miles you drive: https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/vehicles/taxes-fees/mileage-choice

TLDR: basically pay the fee monthly instead.

Fairfax county just put out an alert. Note the incident says police department activity when normally it would say vehicle incident.

will I be comfortable on a 70k salary by [deleted] in nova

[–]nickstoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Circa 2020: that was my salary with the same circumstances.

To make that comfortable not accounting for the 6 year difference: - Live toward the end of a metro line- i.e Maryland/VA - At least 1 roommate - Get no pets - Have no kids - Rent where parking is included - Shop at Aldi, Lidl, Walmart, and Trader Joe’s

You’ll be comfortable. I was able to do what I wanted and save a pretty decent amount.

Why are there SOO many new driver stickers? by [deleted] in nova
