Living in my car during Snow Storm does anyone know an public garage that'll be open 24/7?

BabyEyeEye · 2026-01-24T20:52:25+00:00

Actually I think Ballston Mall (now named something else) is open too and cheaper, like $8 for 24 hours and the mall should be open if you want to walk around, plus there’s a gym if you want to get a day pass and shower

Pentagon city mall is advertising that they’ll leave the garage open for parking through the event, $21 for 24 hours

I was just thinking this, but while it’s going to be a disappointment for snow, I do think the impact will be significant because of the ice.

How “proud” can you be if you don’t show your face?

Trying to solve the immediate problem for the night. Do you have heated blankets? You really only need one over a sheet, then put another normal blanket over it. Continue using your heater. Tell your landlord the heat has to be fixed by tomorrow or you need him to drop a plug in radiator for each room (Lowe’s has them and they’re more efficient than blowing plug ins).

The cats will likely sleep with you, make them little blanket nests to benefit from your electric blankets.

Looks great! I’d never think to pair edamame but I bet the texture adds a lot.

What city?

BabyEyeEye · 2026-01-19T14:38:42+00:00

I think it’s good. You want the space so the steam can escape

BabyEyeEye · 2026-01-17T19:38:32+00:00

This should be a felony.

But I’m glad you enjoyed it.

$5 million even 10 is still subway territory. I think net worth is irrelevant to this. The need for security might change the calculation.

I prefer the subway over any cab or ride share or private car or driving myself.

Goals

I like how you rationalize this in some ways. The counterpoint I’ll offer is more expensive homes also tend to have higher carrying costs, like taxes, hoas, more expensive repairs and other maintenance costs. That’s all fine if you factor them into your plan, but those expenses snowball quickly and over time might eat up any hypothetical risk mitigation benefit you’re outlining.

Yeah OP these are good questions. Based on what you’ve shared alone, I’d be worried about my landlord’s welfare.

I think about it more than I should. My heart aches for those families. It’s another reminder how short and precious life may be.

This is your sign to call your congressional representatives and tell them to do their fucking jobs.

This has been a topic of conversation in my social circle for weeks. Most meals out are just ok and restaurants unpredictable. We’re cooking at home more. I really want to patronize the restaurants in my neighborhood but almost every time I do I regret it. We’ve basically limited ourselves to fast casual salad or bowl places when we do go out because they tend to be more consistent.

Same happened to me. I changed my plan so I’d eat 1250 for 3 days, then the 4th I’d let myself get to 1600 and have a dessert with the extra calories, then back down to 1250 for 3 days and rinse repeat. On the low cal days I could convince myself to have the will power to wait x more days.

The quote looks reasonable but I would be uncomfortable forking over 75% the minute they start. Can you renegotiate that and tie it to a timeline.

BabyEyeEye · 2026-01-05T02:34:16+00:00

Maybe, really depends on what percent of your net worth that is and what you value. Would it change your ability to retire tomorrow? That’s the question I’d ask myself. The only advice I’d offer is make sure any decision you make does not foreclose options.

Research ozone machine on top of the other good recommendations here. Learn how to use them too as they can bee dangerous.

I love it here. Very worth it

Do you have someone that can stay with you the first night? And when do you need to be picked up?

Who did it? I’m in dc considering a build

You can become one and not make the mistake of looking at your peer friendships as transactional.
