Reply to comment by VA_Wineaux in How do yall pronounce Leigh st? by jortynelson
NC native here, I’m also a UNC alum and duke named their business school the Fuqua school of business. The interactions I’ve had with their alums has led me to call it the fuckwad school of business instead.
In NC, there’s also a town called Fuquay-Varina. Pronounced “few-qway va-ree-nuh” but it makes you feel like you’re saying something dirty every time

The way I learned was by watching the video posted on the county website about living here. You can choose to live in ignorance, but answers are readily available to you.

Reply to comment by danadane1419 in How much is your rent going up? by archetype1
I fucking hate renting, but I’m only 9 months out of college so the idea of buying is about 5+ years out at least
Edit: also, tbf, for the square footage / location / amenities/ the market it’s expensive but could’ve been worse based on the searches we were making

I’m scared now, I live in the condo style apartments in Libbie Mill, have a feeling the jump is going to be equally insane and they likely won’t entertain a reduction request. I straight up would not be able to afford a 20% increase. In truth I thought even moving in it was a little out of budget, but my GF loved it so here we are.

Yikes. Mines coming up in august, that doesn’t bode well for me… my rent is already ridiculous. Might consider moving if the jump is that high…

I’d consider conference tourneys to be included in the March madness definition but I guess a conference tourney final vs the first round of the big dance is slightly different

Reply to comment by tail_ler in Richmond pretty decent tippers by ExtremeHobo
True. Call me an asshole but I always base my tip on the subtotal. Especially here now where the restaurant tax is ridiculous
Edit to those downvoting me: 20% of the subtotal is my default. Unless the service is downright bad, I rarely stray from 20%. Seeing lots of people saying 15% is within acceptable range, 15% of the post-tax total and 20% of the subtotal aren’t that different.

Which is interesting, bc we are taxed at about double the rate of most places, at least downtown.
I went to LA recently and was shocked to see the tax at restaurants was pretty standard. Eating in Richmond has made me think 15% tax is normal lol.

Is there any indication of when we’ll get another El Niño winter? Warm winters / early springs are for the birds.

No doubt we get at least one more hard freeze to really fuck up all the blooms and agriculture before spring actually starts

Well they’re currently building a new apartment building at Libbie mill. Maybe you could take your kid to the library before / after? There’s always some sort of construction going on around here lol

We’re not out of the woods yet I’d say. In my experience, the biggest snow months for NC/VA have been February/March.
I’ll be a little disappointed if we get nothing :(

According to google for the definition:
“a Japanese dish consisting of small balls or rolls of vinegar-flavored cold cooked rice served with a garnish of raw fish, vegetables, or egg.”
Both examples ive been given meet the definition. Rice and roast beef still doesn’t.

But that’s fish. Not meat.

Unfortunately I think the fact that this is cooked meat kind of disqualifies it from the sushi classification

Yes. The white flour and milk mixes with the mostly brown grease from the sausage . Hence, grey.

You poor, poor soul. Bless your heart.
I’m assuming based on your username you’re from Ohio, so I can’t hardly blame ya, but here in the south, Bob Evans would most certainly not be considered “good quality breakfast sausage”

pro tip- crumble the biscuits, it’s so much better and easier to eat

I sure am. I’ve ridden pretty much everything at BGW at this point, but I went to KD for the first time maybe 6 weeks ago when hardly anything was open. Twisted Timbers was insane. Super ready to ride their whole lineup
