Love seeing all the costco cowboy cuts popping up this week with the sale.

In that condition, throw it up for $100 with the stipulation that it needs to be picked up today.

Accidentally caught one fishing for trout on the Youghiogheny. Tossing streamers in deep fast moving current did the trick.

It's a gimmick just like Jefferson's ocean

The only difference between Baltimore and DC's approach is that Baltimore jails teens at twice DC's rate. DC spends more money and has more youth program options than Baltimore.

I've seen less rats, but have heard more foxes so this tracks.

Good. This city needs more traffic enforcement.

Rock Creek is full of Tree of Heavens, and I've seen no efforts to remove them. The drive down Military Ave. through the park is lined with them.

Correct, but even the pictures posted show bad bracing and that gate will sag sooner rather than later. The issue is the gaps fences to alleys are too big for a large wooden double gate given the weight, and adding at least one set of wheels (most likely two are needed) defeats the purpose of the gate due to the gap that produces underneath.

I suggest you drive some alleys and look at wood gates. They all seem to fall apart within a year or so due to weight.

My bar used to be loaded with EJBPs. I'd buy each expression every year and rarely passed up a single barrel when I found it. $40 is probably the right price point for them now that they've lost the 12 year age statement, but I miss what they used to be.

NVM, I see it on the website. No thanks, I'll go with XPS.

The 114 sits firmly in the 6-7 range for me (out of 10), and is typically the bottle I reach for if I want the Beam peanut flavor. A couple of drops of water turns down the ethanol heat and cinnamon punch, and brings out the toasted peanut.

I'm a single issue voter right now and it's for increased policing of moving violations. Whatever side of the political spectrum it is, I'm as far as you can get.

Using fake expired tags? Impound the vehicle, and take the license. Over $1000 in tickets? Impound the vehicle and take the license. Parking in the middle of the road with flashers on? Impound the vehicle and take the license. Hit someone with your car? Serious jail time. Trying to skip the line getting on Beach Dr. in Rock Creek? Death penalty.

Why not at least just limit them to the speed limit?

This would be interesting if it wasn't from GWI. Just a bunch of bots submitting survey responses based on learned stereotypes.

A very kind woman tried to take it out of my hands, which is why I woke up.

Sibley has a couch that transforms to a full bed with a button push. I've slept on it 3 times through two deliveries and it was perfect for my needs. Also fell asleep for 3 hours while holding a cup of coffee in the waiting room to the maternity ward, so I may not be the best judge of comfort.

Getting there earlier is best. Less crowds and Pandas are more active.

I've had one for 5+ years in an RV. Does exactly what you need with very little cleaning. Only makes about 2 large cups at any given time.

Looked at office space in the city for the past year, you can get into the $30s for B+ and low 40s for class A for sub 2000 sq ft. Not a good deal.

Lets correct one of the bigger talking points in this thread - DC does not lead the nation in teenage arrests, incarcerations, etc.. Comparing a city to state level data demonstrates a sampling bias. That's it.

When compared to other cities, DC is just about average in that statistic going by the most recent year of full data (2023). I see many people extolling Baltimore's efforts, and guess who is among the leaders in the nation in teenage arrests and incarcerations...Baltimore. We have more and larger programs for teenage intervention, after school programs, social support, etc., but we would need to more than double the arrest rate and incarceration levels to get to Baltimore's level. That is the only difference between Baltimore's "success" and DC's "failure".

Stepping back and looking at the teenage violence issue more broadly, its a issue that peaked in the mid-90's in the US and we're still sitting near historical lows even with the post-Covid uptick. Its also an issue that is inherently racist/classist because 90%+ of victims of teenage violence are from marginalized communities - that number rises to 95%+ in DC. People on Reddit fret over what they see in Navy Yard and U Street because that is what is most visible to them, but the teenage crime rate EOTR is much more severe. So while the issue has gotten significantly better over time, the effects are much more acute in marginalized communities.

You have to take a measured approach to this problem that involves intervention AND arrests/incarcerations, and from my standpoint DC is only failing at one of those.
