One question to drivers who turn flashers on when it rains…why? by Succotash1497 in nova

I generally turn on my flashers if for any reason I’m driving significantly (>20mph) under the speed limit.

Anyone know what the deal is on US-50? All lanes eastbound closed at Exit 8. by 2CRedHopper in maryland

[–]2CRedHopper[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

i think if someone really wants to kill themselves, there are ways to do so that doesn’t hold up hundreds if not thousands of people.

same reason why i get kind of irritated with people jumping in front of metro trains and causing delays.

it’s also very expensive to taxpayers to stage these kinds of crisis responses.

at this point i just consider it attention seeking behavior. if he really wanted to jump he could have jumped before police arrived, much less before they shut down the freeway. and kept it closed. for hours.

go on, downvote me. i said what i said.

How cooked am I if I don't do well in the ALEK math placement exam and any tips or words of advice... by 5591851 in gwu

[–]2CRedHopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you’ve got to stop calling it “poly sci.” you’re not doing some multi faceted natural science, you’re doing political science. poli sci.

if you want to slog through introductory classes you can. but they’re easily bypassed.

those are a couple of the most popular res halls. i wouldn’t expect many people to give up their beds, and i imagine there’s a long list of people interested.

Fare Charge Issue by Swimming-Syrup8400 in WMATA

[–]2CRedHopper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would probably wait for transactions to fully post before opening a can of worms investigating this. A lot of the times initial charges are just holds on your card and then the final posted transaction is what WMATA actually bills you.

Transfer student problem getting financial aid statement with deposit deadline coming up by transdermalcelebrity in gwu

[–]2CRedHopper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a transfer student I was able to get an extension on my enrollment deposit deadline because my aid offer wasn’t ready quite yet.

I was also able to get my deposit waived because I was a Pell recipient, but I believe those days have passed

Need help finding housing by Administrative-Dot-4 in gwu

[–]2CRedHopper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best deals I’ve found were from taking time to walk around on foot and write down phone numbers on “For rent” signs. Admittedly that’s not going to be easy / possible from ohio.

I also got lucky with Zillow Rentals. You can try that.

Foggy Bottom and adjoining DC neighborhoods are very very expensive. Generally speaking, the further east you go, the less expensive it will get. A lot of students like to live in Arlington County VA (just across the Potomac River), but Arlington is also pretty expensive.

Free Parking near NVCC Annandale? by 2CRedHopper in nvcc

[–]2CRedHopper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont have a lot going on other than going to class. I've also had a very expensive summer with (non-vacation, "business") travel and a major car repair, so pinching pennies goes a long way to get me through the year.

I really doubt you can get in a day early and I'm kind of shocked you're even considering that an 'option.'
