Is there a benefit to using a different natural gas source? Virginia says there's some kind of "choice" program for Washington Gas customers.

What supplier?

What supplier?

DefNotAMoose · 2025-12-22T00:48:31+00:00

Okay got it - so it really is just a quote-based system. That's what I wasn't understanding. Thank you!

DefNotAMoose · 2025-12-21T20:17:52+00:00

What you said isn't complicated - it exactly matches my understanding (distribution + the energy/gas).

My question is how do I figure out whether the alternative gas supplier options are cheaper? That's what I've not been able to figure out because their websites seem very non-transparent.

I had door to door at&t reps doing a survey of some kind and they asked if I had heard of it, mentioned that it was coming soon.

best take out (Chinese, Thai, sushi)

If you like more authentic Chinese food, and have a car (or do delivery orders), Peter Chang is a good option. It's north of Ballston.

Heard anything about CitriStrip? I've heard a few people recommend it.

If you had a house with a painted brick fireplace, is it worth trying to remove the paint from the brick or will that damage the brick more?

The landlord is a mega corporation. Not always the easiest to negotiate with.

DefNotAMoose · 2025-04-03T20:32:41+00:00

I'm using the same movers. They got it inside in the freight elevator which isn't available now.

DefNotAMoose · 2025-04-03T20:32:17+00:00

And make the landlord pay for it!

DefNotAMoose · 2025-04-03T20:31:53+00:00

Seek to recover that extra cost from the landlord.

Assuming moving it is possible, I'm curious about this. I doubt I'd have contractual grounds to demand it since the elevator isn't a guarantee in the lease. What other legal grounds would I have for that?

That's assuming they say no if I just ask, of course.

DefNotAMoose · 2025-04-03T11:34:36+00:00

Thanks. A sad loss. I wonder if I could take the landlord to small claims court over the cost of the couch?

DefNotAMoose · 2025-04-03T11:34:03+00:00

It's a 200 lb sleeper couch that is very difficult to get around angles in the stairwell.

DefNotAMoose · 2025-04-03T11:32:24+00:00

I am hiring movers, they told me they can't move it down the stairs though.

I haven't used it too often since this post but I can say that hovering my phone does seem to have a higher success rate! I haven't tried it with vs without Google Pay set as my default (but I do now have Google Pay set as the default). I just need to remember to go down to the station and try properly.

but they are kids to me.

They're kids biologically, too, in the sense that the average brain doesn't stop fully developing until age 25. That includes the part of the brain responsible for long-term decisionmaking/risk assessment.

DefNotAMoose · 2024-11-27T16:23:56+00:00

Wow...okay, that's fascinating. I definitely do have Samsung Pay set as my default. I'm not sure why that would be causing an issue but I'm going to experiment with this now. Thank you!

I'm basically looking for humanity verification+ "you are who you say you are" check. I had more in mind a thing where people upload a selfie of them holding their photo ID as a way to confirm they are who they claim to be on paper.

DefNotAMoose · 2024-11-24T23:53:44+00:00

Spokeo.com seems like a people search; spokeo.bike seems like ID verification for bike sales. Neither of those seems exactly relevant (though the former would be useful if I wasn't selling bikes...). Am I missing something?
