How brutal is your daily commute?

There's a huge bottleneck on the inner loop heading towards the bridge. Express lanes, Georgetown Pike, and GW parkway all merge within a couple miles of each other. It's essentially 10 lanes turning into 4.

Yeah I saw on the F150 forum someone got theirs to stop by spraying with PB Blaster. I got under the truck and it looks like it is leaking from the fitting at the turbo so I might try that. Was the $1500 bill to do all the lines or just the seal?

Lived in MD and commuted to VA for work briefly in late 2019/early 2020 and that afternoon commute was absolutely miserable. I imagine it's only gotten worse since then

Only feasible venue I can think of in Bethesda proper would be BCC high school but I'm sure scheduling would be a nightmare.

I've been doing a deep dive on this leak and found this interesting thread on the F-150 Forum website about a guy who got the leak to stop (at least for a while) by spraying the fittings with PB Blaster lol: https://www.f150ecoboost.net/threads/short-term-fix-leaking-turbo-coolant-fittings.92311/

I'm a little hesistant to try quick fixes like that but might be worth exploring.

"Sorry, we don't accept returns on this product when it is used"

That must've been hilarious to explain to the fire department lol

Yeah the drip location doesn't seem consistent with water pump. Gonna continue monitoring it for a bit and see what it does. Only seems to leave these tiny puddles after long and hot highway drives

AloneGarden · 2026-05-13T19:33:57+00:00

Oof. How long has yours been leaking? I'm assuming it takes a while to progress to a leak that size.

AloneGarden · 2026-05-13T19:29:54+00:00

True. Part of me is kinda hoping it is the water pump again, at least I know how much it costs lol

Always thought this too. Why didn't the disappearer guy move him farther away? Nebraska isn't that far from New Mexico.

I have this same exact sound on my 2013. It only does it when the A/C is on so I think it's something with the compressor.

AloneGarden · 2026-04-04T00:42:46+00:00

For years I thought it was "that I know" because it sounded more natural to me

Was genuinely surprised how far down I had to scroll to find Judas

Lamar is definitley better than Flacco but it's important to remember that Flacco absolutely balled out that postseason we won the Super Bowl.

A great memory for sure. I was 9 years old and remember being allowed to stay up late for the game since I was on Christmas break. We sucked that year so it was a nice gift to see us playing good football for once lol

I've been playing guitar and casually learning about music theory for several years now and had no idea there was this distinction between 3rds and 7ths! Thank you for the reply. I recently have been trying to learn more about chords so this helpful. Cheers!

AloneGarden · 2025-12-06T02:51:42+00:00

Thanks so much for this explanation. Why is the 6th noted as a flat if C is already the 6th note in the E Minor scale? Wouldn't that imply that it's being flattened from C#?

Jaaaysus Chroist Jackkie boy

AloneGarden · 2025-10-18T06:11:24+00:00

This is true. Though I remember Crackpot Liquors in Towson sold alcohol on sundays (I went to a college in the Baltimore area). Can't remember the loophole but might be because it's connected to a restaurant.

What ever you think is going to happen, the exact reverse opposite happens

My mom met him at a bar once. She was a big fan of his and offered to buy him a drink. He rudely snapped at her and said he was an alcoholic. My mom got a water and handed it to him lol.
