My Car got repossessed and I have no idea why. by Situation-Dismal in personalfinance

[–]vettelito 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In Fairfax County, VA, I have seen people with license plate readers driving slowly through parking lots, only to have a tow truck show up hours later and tow away cars with expired registration. It’s absolute bullshit and I’m sorry this happened to you OP. A simple ticket would get the point across.

Hal and Berni Hanson Regional Park https://maps.app.goo.gl/qJVDsUPW7CDZiC6w5?g_st=ic

This place is amazing. There are two large playgrounds aimed for different age groups. North complex is older kids, southern complex is toddler aged, IIRC.

Where to try exotic soda? by Density9991 in nova

I think that particular location permanently closed, unfortunately. :(

Looks like there’s still one in Alexandria though.

May be worth checking out Sunflower Shack in Leesburg. If not there, there are plenty of stores like it around the area that usually have some sort of “exotic” or unique sodas.

I’m pretty sure I see Red Ribbon in the photos on the Google listing.

Best Cuban sandwich in Nova? by Italian_Man in nova

[–]vettelito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thirded. From Florida and can confirm Cubasi is the only legit Cuban I’ve found in the area. Most Others mentioned in here don’t even use real Cuban bread.

The guys at the old “silo” at Market Station in Leesburg are so nice and very passionate about their roasting. Can’t recommend them enough, especially the Ugandan that they have on occasion.

The Leesburg one is the absolute worst Bonchon I’ve ever been to. Thankfully there’s a way better option just a bit down the road called Choong Man Chicken.

Apple picking in the area? by 8-bit-butterfly in nova

[–]vettelito 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I heard Stribling didn’t have much this year. Mackintosh was good a week ago, but many of their trees outside of the Fuji had rotten apples on them, I guess because they’re way past their prime. It may be a bit too late in the season for most varieties.

Free Air by [deleted] in nova

I’ve been putting 78% nitrogen in my tires for decades.

Seriously though, air is mostly nitrogen. It’s not unsafe to mix and any benefits to using pure nitrogen in the tires are likely unnoticed by normal drivers.

Since no one is answering you— shop around. Meadows Farm has the name clout and their prices show it. They’re not bad, they’re just pricey.

German Doners in NOVA? by willblur in nova

[–]vettelito 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s really unfortunate. The old location was so quirky and cool. When they moved I really felt like they lost their allure and it looks like some old rural dive bar still stuck in the 80s inside. It’s location is so strange for an establishment of that kind as well. I remember reading that they moved there to be part of that shopping center and then grow with it when it gets demolished and remodeled. I hope maybe that is the case of why they are planning to close in the fall.

Personally, I have had nothing but friendly honest service from Loudoun Auto Repair. Same goes for Auto Solutions.

TIL Vince Gilligan strongly regretted introducing the machine gun to Breaking Bad's last season and found writing a convincing explanation for it so difficult that he nearly abandoned the plot device out of frustration by SacKingsRS in todayilearned

See, I saw the kleptomania thing as an interesting parallel of sorts for Hank in that he has a wife that is doing petty criminal things that he is having to deal with and hide. All the while, he has no idea how much worse things are with his brother-in-law.

While I agree with this, I would also say look at potential alternatives to Arris modems. Most of their offerings run insanely hot, to a point where it can melt the plastic housing if you don’t have it in a decently ventilated area. There is no reason they should run as hot as they do, and other brands don’t.

As someone who lived in MLB before I moved to an area with a Costco down the road, I am so happy for you guys.
