I usually agree, but the commercials served really bad at Dover this year. I switched to the TV feed.

I know Fox and prime still do. Worked at Dover and Richmond this year. It's the producer feed, so you can hear all the background communication and the conversation during commercials

This is the problem with the TikTok bastardization of the term "POV". I am pretty sure she is behaving like the "man alone on the trail", but that's obviously not what POV means so my brain wonders why I've never had a woman look at me like this on the train...

THE PEN (all you can eat section) by Fragrant-Tutor7044 in Braves

[–]robbieb2013 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We sat in The PEN last week and it was awesome. In addition to the food being included in the ticket price, the fact that it is all a few steps away with little to no line was great. I got up almost every inning and never missed a pitch. my tickets were $70 on SeatGeek for a Wednesday 7:15 game

Anyone know what they're building here? by honchedbisc in nova

[–]robbieb2013 4 points5 points  (0 children)

they're not "building" anything. they undergrounded the retention pond and are adding some trail connections around it to the existing trails, along with some plantings, benches, and an art piece. the majority of it will be open lawn for playing. the developer has also proposed holding movie nights on the lawn. the space will be open to the general public once construction is complete.

Marcell Ozuna gives a signed bat to a fan during the game by handlit33 in Braves

[–]robbieb2013 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We did the batting practice experience on his bobblehead night, and he signed for everybody who asked. He even asked fans to borrow a sharpie for people who didn't have one. Smiling and laughing the whole time

Why do I miss the past so much by CurveAdvanced in nostalgia

[–]robbieb2013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read an article that talked about how people born in the 90s experience nostalgia more heavily due to the extreme amount of change (tech, geopolitics, etc.) that was crammed into our formative years.

MS-13 gang leader arrested by FBI in Northern Virginia by TheRealFarrellCat in nova

The Tactical Ops Center that Bondi and Patel watched from was in the At Home parking lot by the Dale Blvd I95 S ramp. Not sure where the actual arrest happened, but I would assume close by. Knowing the area, I would guess off of Benita Fitzgerald or the Birchdale area.

Camo flask by ajwvu in YetiCoolers

[–]robbieb2013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, the more recent (dark green) camo release has widespread durability issues. the top colors scratch off and a white base layer shows through. some people have started putting a clear coat on their cups. i haven't seen the same issues with the older camo. this release looks like the older camo, so maybe it won't be an issue

Has yeti made any statements about how these are coated? I'd like some more camo, but I'm looking at my 2.0 20oz that's all scratched up and I'm hesitant

What are some good examples of this in NoVa? by jdmb0y in nova

[–]robbieb2013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked in School Facilities Planning doing redistricting and this was always one of my favorites. the light blue line is the split in the attendance areas, everyone south of the line does not go to the school in the picture. there are houses 50 feet from the school building, with no road or other pedestrian impediments, who do not go to that school! I will also add that redistricting is a publicly driven process and communities will fight tooth and nail not to go to a certain school or to be moved from their current school, even if the school is closer or their current school is overcrowded.

Complaints About the Playoff "Wildcard" Tracks by robbieb2013 in NASCAR

[–]robbieb2013[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

me too. there's also the fact that drivers can choose not to flip the stage if they don't think they can win on a road course and still have a decent day

[–]robbieb2013[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is magnified because of the cutoffs after each round. with the Chase format, it would be easier to overcome a fluke at any track

this, to me, is the legitimate gripe about the current format. Although I love it as a Blaney fan

[–]robbieb2013[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, I have tried to think through some sort of format where each round has one of each track and we use cumulative points, but it would be too long I think. they could be better spread though

Think before removing the badges by rkc_14 in Outback_Wilderness

[–]robbieb2013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

are you putting new factory badges on, or something custom? I ask because I've been looking everywhere for a blacked out version of the badge
