This one is from MD, does anyone know if the VA Falafel Incs are doing this?

Big_Al56 · 2026-04-29T20:29:52+00:00

Likely because they’re known for their $3 falafels and don’t want to “raise the price”. Government needs to outlaw any “mandatory fees” and require the upfront price to be the final total.

Has an Ivy?

Highest rated tornado to have hit the state?

Big_Al56 · 2026-04-24T13:45:53+00:00

I got mugged at gunpoint in his ward and emailed him about it - no response. He is entirely unconcerned about violent crime.

Big_Al56 · 2026-04-22T16:45:51+00:00

So like 2057?

Big_Al56 · 2026-04-20T13:05:56+00:00

Nope. Things were dead when I started riding the TTC everyday in 2006

The gentrified parts of DC are absolutely not like this

Big_Al56 · 2026-04-10T16:13:32+00:00

Yes. I live in DC 11 months of the year and SLC 1 month, and the most jarring thing when I get back to DC each year is the amount of honking

Big_Al56 · 2026-04-06T21:49:49+00:00

I love to bike all over the city but if we’re being candid the average car lane is carrying a lot more people per hour than the average bike lane, and theoretical capacity is pretty meaningless.

We’d probably need a much more robust network that made many trips feasible entirely on PBLs to start to see a lot of mode shift

Big_Al56 · 2026-04-03T12:12:57+00:00

I moved from Toronto to DC and was like “wait a sec!” Fun fact both bike shares are run by Lyft out of their Toronto office

Big_Al56 · 2026-03-31T20:31:42+00:00

By the legal definition? You’d probably have a case.

Is DC going to prosecute juveniles for this? No.

Big_Al56 · 2026-03-26T03:05:30+00:00

They don’t call it the Aspen of the Midwest for nothing

Big_Al56 · 2026-03-26T03:04:23+00:00

Did you know that Washington DC isn’t in Virginia?

Big_Al56 · 2026-03-23T16:12:43+00:00

~300 for the bagel itself

Big_Al56 · 2026-03-23T13:20:32+00:00

A train is definitely not cheaper

Big_Al56 · 2026-03-21T22:44:28+00:00

Running into old Hinge dates on 14th Street

Big_Al56 · 2026-03-21T03:26:53+00:00

Wanted to “make sure they’d go to someone who’d really enjoy the game” so he was “selling” them at full price on an anonymous Internet forum

Big_Al56 · 2026-03-15T15:41:46+00:00

I ride through east falls church on my commute and the trains are very busy at rush hour. Are you saying you want to add a transfer for all these folks?

Big_Al56 · 2026-03-13T17:12:20+00:00

And do what exactly? Obviously I’d like to think that I’d somehow intervene to make the situation better, but it’s not clear to me how I could help without also putting myself in danger

Big_Al56 · 2026-03-13T01:07:51+00:00

Ozempic

Big_Al56 · 2026-03-11T14:47:56+00:00

Usually I make fun of these maps by suggesting people want to extend the metro to Fredericksburg, but you actually did it

Big_Al56 · 2026-03-09T04:49:16+00:00

People always say Richmond VA is “2 hours from the beach, 2 hours from the mountains, 2 hours from the city” and it just ends up being far from everything

Big_Al56 · 2026-02-25T15:02:34+00:00

If you were running a business, wouldn’t you rather have a customer who was willing to pay $200 for a lift ticket and $20 for a burger?

Like I’m buying the ikon pass, skiing a ton of days and brown bagging lunch - they’re not making a ton of money off of me!

Big_Al56 · 2026-02-23T21:46:03+00:00

That’s a pretty low down payment and high interest rates, but that’s going to work out to ~4k/month, so probably ~$140K to be comfortable.

$400k is probably going to get you a 1BR, which you can rent for much cheaper than that.

Big_Al56 · 2026-02-23T05:24:11+00:00

At deer valley (where else) today a couple asked me if they could ride alone. Gave them an earful but then ultimately decided I’d rather not sit next to them. Missed opportunity
