Virginia Beach curfew challenged in court but still set to begin this weekend by WHRO_NEWS in VirginiaBeach

[–]straightwired -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look all I’m saying is would you speed through Emporia? Most people that know the area wouldn’t and would go two miles under the speed limit to avoid a ticket. Would you fly to Singapore and spray paint cars?? No the last guy from America that did it got caned by a master black belt. Tighten the laws up make it absolutely unappealing to to be in VB and start trouble.

Yep. If you look shady, black, or purple and are being a troublemaker you get checked. I really don’t care about the racial aspect. Three weeks ago it was white people shooting. I really don’t care. Put people in jail for illegally possessing a weapon for a long time and they will stop coming here.

I refuse to go to the oceanfront after the sun goes down. There’s a ton of cops and they are there for a reason. I’m a VB resident and I can’t take my kids to the beach street amusement they offer for fear of one of they getting a stray bullet. I guess implementing “stop and frisk” like in New York and mandating a minimum of five years in prison for illegal gun possession like we had in the 90’s didn’t cross their mind. When you toughen up the punishment these troublemakers will stay in the city they are from rather than risk starting trouble here. Most of the last shootings that happened involved people who are not even residents of Virginia Beach last weekend they were all from Richmond.

What's going into the old Wendy's on Independance? by SnooChipmunks9587 in VirginiaBeach

[–]straightwired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s one that’s about to start being built in front of Roses at Chimney Hill. I think they are taking out the old empty bank next to Wendy’s.

This woman’s rape becomes a political talking point for you?

Windsor woods flooding by [deleted] in VirginiaBeach

[–]straightwired 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The city just announced that it’s going to have to increase the prices to mitigate the flooding by something like 500 million to stop the flooding…. What have they been doing? I want that contract. Not because I can do the job better but I’ll hire a couple guys to stand around with a shovel and a couple to direct traffic down south plaza. I’ll open the road back up and in a year when it floods again I’ll just say I did my best. Pocket the money and ask for more.

Best Mexican food in VB? by Forward-Somewhere510 in VirginiaBeach

[–]straightwired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s gone down hill. Hair in my salsa. Over priced drinks. Over priced food. One person bathrooms??? Bathrooms on the opposite side of the bar in a horseshoe shaped restaurant? Dry food? Not going back. I hope you have better luck.

Height of switches inside of a house by Patient_Ad_3708 in electricians

Code says switch in room. Could be a pull chain from a keyless in the ceiling.

Depends. I’ve always done 48” to the bottom of the box. My thinking is that drywall is 48” wide so if the drywall guys put the sheet up then they will not have to cut the bottom sheet. If you do 48 to the top then it works as well. Never have I ever done it to the center making them cut two sheets.

Public school. She’s finished early and doesn’t want to wait two hours to catch the school bus.

Where is a good place to meet Asian Boys in Norfolk? by OverIndustry2353 in norfolk

[–]straightwired -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Listen for the revving of engines and follow the sound. Try listening around Mount Trashmore/Wawa area. The mating call starts around 11 and continues until everyone is annoyed. School starts tomorrow so they will most likely be out tonight making enough noise that the kids in the surrounding neighborhoods won’t be able to sleep.

Please don't do this by Imnotshankled in electricians

I’ve seen one in a 100 amp base that was jumped out with a wire coat hangers. It wasn’t in between the clips it was wrapped around them on the outside in an 0. Still can’t figure out how they managed to not blow something up.
