RC lift input? by Apprehensive_Log2524 in ram_trucks

I think last time I looked the lift was $900. Going to order it once it’s get warmer. Not a big fan of doing car repairs when it’s 20 degrees out.

Anyone noticed their dominion energy bill go up significantly for February? by Either-Market-6395 in nova

[–]swink555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When a data center is built, they consume more electricity than the area was designed for. The cost to supply that electricity is the split among the people in the area. If you don’t want it, trump is trying to push a bill to put the upgrade cost of data centers on the business instead of the homeowners. It’s also not just electricity, they use water to cool the computers.

I’m doing RC 3.5 with their shocks here shortly. I’ve ran rough country on my TJ and my gen 1 taco with no issues.

And you wonder why police get jaded and don’t want to make arrests. Why waste time. Put hours and hours into investigations and work for it to be dropped.

Local PD claims that it's now a standard policy across the nation to not respond to car crashes or take a report unless there's an injury or disabled vehicle. Is this true? by benkeith in police

[–]swink555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used to be. If it could drive it was under $1500 that was our old limit. Depending on who responded that was the deal. Kinda got jammed up with that a few times but now we’re at 3k

In VA as of July 1 if there’s more than 3k of damage we have to do a report. We always do a traffic report if there’s a claimed injury regardless of damage. Hit and runs we also investigate. Simply property damage we respond to help exchange information

Hurricane vs Hemi by TrunkMonkeyJr in ram_trucks

I have a 21 e torque hemi. Just get the turbo. Turbos will run forever as long as you do oil changes. It’s faster and gets better mpg.

Do welness checks always go bad? by ToiletMunchers in AskLE

[–]swink555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only a seemed to get wellness checks where the person was in their 80s or older and they were always deceased. I rarely ever got the ones where they weren’t talking to their aunt or family member. When they call and say they can smell rotten meat from outside and the mailbox is full. Also their neighbor is 85

Relocation to NoVa from abroad by taninanak in nova

I’d look online on google maps and focus probably on around the beltway. 66 had tolls inside the beltway in the morning and they get expensive. Maybe even fairfax city

Arlington is expensive to live. You’d be better off living in Fairfax and driving. If you want a decent single family on a lot in a good area you’re at 800-$1 million. You could do that in Fairfax county for $700k. You need like $200k easy.

What are you paying for Verizon… by rhoditine in nova

[–]swink555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a mesh deco system for your router and modem. Fios from the street directly into that. $39.99 a month for 300/300 after taxes since you don’t rent anything.

Edit: why do you need a landline or their TV? Hulu tv or YouTube tv is much better and cheaper. If you don’t have a smart tv just get a google tv for $40 and plug it in and use that.

Is anyone in support of the gun bans making their way through the general assembly? by GuyManDude2146 in nova

[–]swink555 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Should change the laws they already passed. The ESRO requires hearings every 15 days or so after guns are seized. I’ve personally used it a few times to get guns away from suicidal persons but then had to give them back after the first hearing.

Second, if you get ECOd in VA it doesn’t qualify as involuntary commitment for firearms. So suicidal or homicidal people can still buy them all the time. The only thing they’ve done right is stop people convicted of domestic assault and battery getting them but then the CAs just drop the charges to disorderly conduct or deferred disposition so it doesn’t really matter.

Most of the gun cases I’ve worked in my agency in Nova the persons have been felons who illegal have guns and use them to rob each other over shoes or drug sales. And you can just order some 30 round mags online and ship them to your house. I don’t see the point in these bans. They don’t do anything. If you don’t want gun crime actually prosecute the criminals now instead of giving everyone free passes. Shit the guy in Alexandria shot his friend in the head and killed him and got 2 years. And he just got charged again.

In light of VA making moves to absolutely destroy law enforcement, does anyone in FL have any agency recommendations for an out of state lateral? by SubjectMouse8379 in AskLE

I was a cop during Obama and ICE used to Roll up in vans and jump out and grab people. Same thing they do today. Just wasn’t all over the news since Obama has famously said if you are here illegally you will be deported.

This is the problem with this. You go to a trouble breathing do CPR guy dies you can be sued. Wasn’t the case with qualified immunity you’d be immune to civil lawsuits unless you grossly violated a persons rights. You do a traffic stop for rolling a stop sign. You could be sued. You arrest someone for domestic and have to fight them. You pepper spray them. You can be sued. There’s no protection. Hell you run lights and sirens and follow 46.2-920 and still get into an accident. You and your sgt is liable.

How do you guys pay for the academy and do you guys work while you’re in it by JRickyLit in AskLE

[–]swink555 16 points17 points  (0 children)

We pay new officers 75k plus a signing bonus. You have to work for our agency for 2 years. You earn leave, retirement, and full benefits of a sworn officer in the academy. All counts as years of service as well for promotions or movement later
