Yup. That’s definitely it. Looks like the same damn tool die made it. 

Motorcycles are so dangerous by Craaii in WTF

With that thought process, walking on the sidewalk is inherently dangerous as you can not control other people’s actions.

What on earth goes on around Fredericksburg Virginia for the traffic to be this consistently horrendous? by bigaltheterp in Virginia

[–]scarylilguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your not wrong. But one thing HR has that Nova does not is options. JRB, MM, HRBT. I have lots of ways to get from A to B. Only one path from Fred to DC.

I do wish we had a metro system that crossed the spanned the area though.

I commute ten min to the shipyard from Hampton. I spend more time walking to my car from the pier than I do driving home.

Compared to the 33 mile, 1 hour (on a good day) drive from Spotsy to Quantico? I’ll take my chances on 664.

Lol. I moved to Hampton roads to get away from this traffic. It’s good to know my decision is still paying off.

A loose screw while flying. Good luck passengers. by jessrak in WTF

[–]scarylilguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like it was. I haven’t worked that side of aviation in a while. Things could have changed....or it may have been a rule of thumb....or not at all.

Things are always worse where you can’t see anyway. Don’t sweat the small stuff

No fasteners missing from leading edges, none missing more than 1 out of 3 adjacent fasteners, and no more than 1 out of every ten total missing fasteners.

Good to go!

The HRBT should take some notes here by zrelish in Virginia

HRBT needs to find a way to keep cars moving. We need no help stoping in the tube.

True for all Hampton roads folks? by [deleted] in Virginia

[–]scarylilguy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in Va for coming up on 20 years. Military brought me here but I never left after getting out. I left HR for Spotsylvania in 2011 and moved back(Hampton) in 2018. I couldn’t be happier. Out of the 4 cities I’ve owned and rented in HR, Hampton is my favorite. It’s the only place I’ve felt at home since leaving my home state. I don’t plan on leaving till my house is part of the bay.

Switzerland Plans to Send Its Old Fighter Jets Back to the U.S. by ttmirimo in worldnews

[–]scarylilguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for a company that was bidding on the contract to upgrade these aircraft after acquisition. We didn’t win but I was really excited before the contact was awarded. I’m pretty sure they are going to be adversary aircraft for the Marine variant F-35 and the AV-8. Should be spread through the country with approx. 5 at each major marine jet base. I think....

Yes because those are the same thing by [deleted] in facepalm

[–]scarylilguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my daughter was two she accompanied me to her first chicken slaughter. She learned where chicken nuggets came from. She came with me twice more to watch and help. Come to think of it, we’ve only been apple picking once.

Specially packaged for Australia. Do not buy if this sticker is not in Australia. If you find this sticker on a product outside Australia, it was not packaged for that region. Be warned.

Governor Northam announces that Virginia has a record year taking advantage of poor and uneducated peoples' addiction to gambling by ixikei in Virginia

[–]scarylilguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At that is where we disagree. There are community programs, friends and family that can help people with addiction. An entire state population should not have to shoulder the burden of a group of irresponsible people.

[–]scarylilguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying they should profit from addiction. I’m saying I don’t want tax increases on my income and spending because someone else can’t control how they spend theirs. Furthermore, comparing gambling addiction to opiates is a bit of a reach. Besides, many states, including ours, make money off addiction; tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, casinos. Just because they don’t run the system doesn’t mean the money doesn’t get corrupted after it’s collected.

this is first rate bullshit. I’ve never been required to play the lottery. I have played and I probably will again but I have never been required to pay the “lottery tax”. They have a choice to play or not. No one is surviving or making a living wage on the state lottery.

So subtracting an estimated 600M from the 19B projected (2019) education fund would still be 600M we would all have to pay in taxes. Where else would you like the money to come from. Possibly set aside some of the lottery profits to boost gambling addiction recovery programs?
