  1. Here's the relevant statute: Looks like as long as they are not within 40 feet of the entrance they are ok (even if they are a bunch of assclowns). This probably doesn't account for the reality of voting this year due to social distancing requirements pushing people out the door in lines further away from the entrance. Additionally, in years past, it's never been a problem because so few people would actually vote early, there wouldn't be any lines stretching out away from the entrances. Legislature might have to go back and revisit the law to take these new realities into account.
  2. For all those wondering about the lines of people to vote in Fairfax County. Fairfax County is the largest county in VA population wise - the next closest county is half the population. It's a well-off county and highly educated (no humblebrag). Over the past 10 years, the county has turned very Blue. Its a large county area-wise so there are some diverse pockets that still go red but those are shrinking fast. I live out in the far west part of the county and in 2018, our R-congresswoman (who disavowed a lot of what Trump stood for and was more moderate than most) lost her reelection bid by a pretty large margin. That was the first Dem representative since 1980 for this part of the county. Fairfax is getting closer to the close in suburbs of Alexandria and Arlington politics-wise. Large turnout in Fairfax is terrible news for the Republicans as it will be almost impossible to make up the deficit of votes in other parts of the state. Not that VA going blue is a surprise - we haven't had any ads on the air here this cycle. One of the reasons for the long lines that's making this newsworthy is that this is the first year VA has allowed no-excuse early voting. In the past, you had to have a reason so this is kind of a novelty for us up here.
  3. In theory, you're more likely to get a better (more reliable) examiner when filing a Track 1. Examiners who screw around and have shown they can't meet the deadlines are more likely to not get Track 1s assigned to them.
  4. At this point what is he going to say that everybody hasn't already been hearing from him non-stop over the past month or two? Nothing he's been endlessly prattling on about has really had any effect on the public's perception of Biden so far, so I don't see this latest stunt moving the needle either.
  5. That's a different promotion. The free line promotion clearly states in the advertising and in the contract that the line is free for the life of your sprint account. As long as you dont cancel any lines for the first year, you get to keep the free line indefinitely. This was a targeted promotion. They were also offering a separate free service promotion that was in fact limited to year of free service.
  6. What face do you make when someone proposes to the American people that taking bleach would be a good idea to battle coronavirus?
  7. Check the date on it....Irony from 2014
  8. I don't know. It seems that several of our coaches over the past few seasons have held non-recruiting positions.
  9. Sorry but the web site seems pretty shady. That tells me that it hasn't actually been approved for Coronavirus but rather "viruses like" Coronavirus. Later on it says which once again tells me it isn't approved for coronavirus. And just because it can be used against coronavirus doesn't mean it is effective. Furthermore, there isn't anything indicating what the little * means next to 2019-nCoV. Not saying this is necessarily the case here, but there are a lot of scammy websites out there trying to capitalize off of people's ignorance/fear/whatever with all kinds of snake oil. I don't see anything on here indicating FDA approval for any of the claims made.
  10. So what's the penalty for "common law fraud" and who is going to prosecute that?
  11. I'll take them if you still have them. Me and the family are flying cross country the last week of Jan. PM sent.
  12. There are still tickets available for the Exes tailgate - I think it is $30 which includes food and beer. It will be in the Green lot. Link is: https://www.universe.com/events/texas-vs-wvu-tailgate-bus-tickets-QG9BR0?utm_campaign=Washington+DC+Chapter+9-11-19&utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Buy+tailgate+and+bus+tickets+here!&utm_term=20190913_7588016_317430127 They have chartered three buses from DC. The Green lot is right by the stadium and it will be filled with tailgaters. Bought tickets to the Exes tailgate last time but the trailer broke down on the way to Morgantown so no tailgate in '17. We ran into another group of Texas folks and they let us join them and shared their food. This year, we'll be driving in from Northern VA and we're hoping to get there around noon for the 3:30 game. My son and his two roommates are planning on bringing their own grill and we'll be cooking something up. Any Surly folks out there are welcome to join us. We'll share what we have, or if you have something you want to throw on the grill you're more than welcome. For anyone driving, WVU is still selling parking passes for the Green lot for $40. From there, it's a short walk up to the stadium
  13. I hope they hedge the shit out of that because the Redskins are terrible.
  14. We went two years ago. No issues - everyone super friendly. Of course my son is a junior there and was with us wearing his WVU stuff so we might have gotten a pass! Even then, none of the Texas fans I spoke with had anything negative to report. In general, I've always found the WV people to be really nice and friendly. I don't think there is the level of hate for UT as other schools such as Pitt. Even OU is higher on the hate level than us after what went down with Mayfield a few years ago. The DC Texas Exes will be tailgaiting in the Green lot right by the stadium.
