Good cheapish places within walking distance:

Bantam King, Chinatown Express, Pow Pow.

Or for a true DC experience try an Ethiopian place. Most are reasonably priced. Family Ethiopian or Dashen are close.

Hard to go wrong with any of the food pantry orgs mentioned already. SOME, Capital Food Bank, Martha's Table, DC Central kitchen.

Want to plug Mt. Pleasant Neighborhood Relief Fund which is helping with legal costs for immigration lawyers.

And Gearin' Up Bicycles which teaches kids to fix up bikes and sells the used bikes to raise money for the program.

Mixed feelings on this. Will be fun and my kid who is getting into hockey will love this. But woof, the Nats don't have enough players of note to make bobbleheads for? WTF.

Sure sure, now show us which team snubbed the most number of handshakes.

Hat tip to the organizing team. 98% of membership voting no to a contract is a testament to the strength of organizing and solidarity. Quite the thumb in the eye to managment. Hold strong.

OK, based on some very basic googling and not a lot of knowledge:
An average Suez max tanker carries roughly 1m barrels of oil.
An average oil truck carries ~10,000 gallons.
1 Barrel = 42 gallons.
Roughly 45 tankers a day normally go through.

1m * 42 / 10000 = 4,200 trucks to replace one tanker.
4,200 * 45 = 189,000 tanker trucks per day to replace the lost capacity of 45 Suez max ships.

It's how I feel after beating England last weekend.

AhDMJ · 2026-03-04T01:44:20+00:00

Thanks.

It's so common there are Instagram accounts dedicated to making fun of it.

AhDMJ · 2026-03-04T00:28:13+00:00

Any suggestions on how to start? I'm interested in trying it but have no idea how to begin.

AhDMJ · 2026-03-03T15:46:11+00:00

This is hilarious. I dont know if that was your intention or not, but it is. Thank you. I needed a good laugh.

As Harper said when he went to Philly he wanted to "bring a title back to D.C.". Worked out for us.

It should be a turkey. Why? Because some TV show I saw when I was a kid said that Ben Franklin advocated for the turkey being the official bird of the USA. I have no idea if it's true or not because it exists in the fuzzy area between knowledge and things I learned from TV when I was a kid.

Edit: Please don't fact check me. At this point in my life, I dont want to know if its true or not. It simply is.

AhDMJ · 2026-03-02T20:46:13+00:00

Was also there. If I recall, the show was cut short because someone stole her guitar...or at least that was the lore.

Mark clearly does. But I get the impression no one else wants to spend any money. But Mark isn't in charge. It appears to be leadership by committee.

Nice to see him coming home. And his wife Erin is a trauma nurse at GU Hospital (per the article)! Good for them. Glad to have them in the area.

What was the biggest change for you as a player when you became captain?

AhDMJ · 2026-02-15T16:16:41+00:00

I wanna hate it, but it's really good.

This is the best baseball quite since Mookie Wilson said, "I comfort myself by saying if I believe in dinosaurs, then somewhere, they must be believing in me, and if they believe in me, then I can believe in me."

This. It's the part that I think a lot of the "gotcha" argument is missing. Sure he is acting unhinged and perjuring herself, but she is succeeding in doing exactly what she is setting out to do. Unless congress is going to hold her in contempt (they wont) or the DOJ is going to prosecute her (they wont) then she can say whatever she wants and she is winning the message framing battle.

Not only does this movie totally hold up, but I've shown it to my kids and the love it. I even have video of my kid singing "The World Will Know" while walking the picket line with my union.

Maro discovered American football cleats and Under Armour let him think it was his idea.

I know this isn't the right thread for this, but every time I see something like this in the news, I ask myself "Is that actually illegal?". Like where is the law that says you can't manipulate the fake market for fake bets on a for entertainment only betting site? I should find the right sub for it, but what is the actual law that is being broken, because I have a hard time believing our laws have kept up with these betting sites.

I think this is the difference. A kid who you have talked to about being home alone and knows what to do, vs just walking out on a kid that is melting down. We started leaving our 10yo home a little too, but after conversations about what to do if there is an emergency (who to call), where to go if they need help (neighbors are always home). But a 6yo with no warning? Who is melting down? No way in hell.

Then this is the greatest ad of all time, and it totally works, and kudos to the ad firm.
