You're prolly gonna pay an electrician a couple hundo on top of that. Get some 6/3 Romex and 3/4" PVC conduit and a 50 amp breaker and do it yourself.

You can even still get it inspected by the county if you want to go the permit route. Nothing stopping you from doing your own electrical work.

> provide adequate heat per the Landlord Tenant Ac

The exact language of the act is to provide reasonable amounts of heat in season, and to maintain all systems in good working order that are provided or required to be provided.

Heat being out for a few days during an extreme cold snap, during the christmas holiday weekend, due to the hvac company being busy, is highly unlikely to be regarded as unreasonable.

As a practical consideration, they do this because they need access to police, otherwise the police will give exclusive scoops and interviews to their competitors.

Is it shitty? Of course it is. But news is entertainment and the goal is to make money. News is not a public service like many seem to think it is. They're private businesses looking to pad their bottom line in any way possible. The rich capitalists who own the media couldn't care less how informed people are. The just want cheap content, and cops give it to them for free.

filtering is when traffic is stopped at red lights.

splitting is when traffic is moving.

California is the only state that allows lane splitting

its illegal because it pisses off drivers who are stuck in traffic and who dont want anyone else to be happy

Annual crime statistics are going to be full of high frequency noise.

For example, if you look at crime data since 2011, crime is trending upwards, but if you look at crime data since 2000, crime has plummeted dramatically and the current upward trend is just a hiccup compared to the significant downward trend overall.

But then that's not good clickbait.

republicans passed laws preventing municipalities from creating their own ISPs unless over 90% of the population doesn't have access to broadband.

Problem is, satellite internet counts as broadband, despite being ass, so the law could never be triggered.

However, Northam signed a law that rolled back a lot of these regulations and allotted almost a billion dollars to build out broadband access to underserved communities. The stated goal is to have 90% of virginians with broadband access by 2024.

I haven't heard of Youngkin or any other republicans trying to stop it yet, so we may actually get something.

lol yeah that's like only 20 degrees above the coldest temperature ever recorded here, since records began, of -12.

Dead of february is the coldest time of year here and it rarely dips below 20, and when it does it's only at night. I vaguely remember going to work one morning and it was 19 at 8am. Absolute coldest day temps in richmond that you see on a regular basis are mid 20s, and that is usually only a couple days here and there in late january through late february.

Our winters are usually in the 30s and 40s most of the time. It stays in the the upper 40s and low 50s through new years. White christmas is rare, I want to say maybe 5 or 6 in my whole life.
