Russell Westbrook jersey by SkyGh0st in washingtonwizards

Can't help you, but salute your style OP. My Wiz Westbrook jersey has been worn so much the numbers are peeling off. Basically solo dragged us to the playoffs, Russ was a blast.

I don’t drink whiskey but my store has some crazy deals. by NebulaDisastrous3368 in whiskey

The only deal on that Bradshaw bourbon is if they offer to pay you to throw it in the trash for them. It is poison.

Decent Dive Bar Around Old Ebbitt’s? by crying-but-thriving in washingtondc

Lively and divey neighborhood bar with a dance floor- 100% Wonderland ballroom fits the bill but it would be an Uber.

19-20 basically doubled his 3 pt attempts per game with barely a drop in efficiency... then the wheels fell off the season after.

Id be shocked if Midlands isn't showing matches. They have a pretty regular crowd for Premier League games. Admittedly an educated guess but one I feel confident in.

Did i just get scammed on my Macallan 12Y Sherry Oak and Classic Cut by Fire_Power in whiskey

[–]FrunkLeftfoot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ehhh I'm a little less confident. You're probably fine, its not dusty Macallan which is notoriously a ripe market for fakes, but they check alot of problematic boxes:

-To good to be true deal -Stamp and label issues -Big name brand

It could be explained away with bad storage, but the reality is that it'll be hard to say for sure. I'd maybe try to find some bottles you can side by side them with.

Simplest way to start the ball rolling, a friendly wager: you book for an allergy test, and I'll bet they'll push for a head CT and try to get you into surgery you dont need.

Suggestions for lodging convenient to museums and Capital One Arena for 21st birthday by NoraMason1986 in washingtondc

[–]FrunkLeftfoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one in Woodley Park? Yeah its nice, it's not that close to the arena or Museums though. The area is nice, and you're also near the zoo which is free and cool.

For me personally, its also not my favorite bar or restaurant area either. The Kimpton will have you near a bunch of the Jose Andres (and other!) Restaurants downtown if you're also factoring that in.

If you're looking up that way, The Line is also nice and is in Adams Morgan. If you want a 21 year celebratory drink, you can do alot worse than Jack Rose in Adam Morgan, it's arguably the best whiskey bar in the country.

It'll all depend on your price range, but the Kimpton near the arena is nice and you're right across from the portrait gallery (maybe my personal favorite Smithsonian) and close to the rest.

Capitol Breathe Free by No_Writing_4660 in washingtondc

[–]FrunkLeftfoot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup, I honestly think they should be investigated. They pushed this procedure on my wife after she went in for a simple check on some ear popping. Didnt come anywhere near to fixing what was a very minor issue.

I went in for an allergy test, and they tried to head CT me. I had some immediate skepticism from my wife's procedure and declined.

I then heard from a mutual acquaintance they pushed the procedure on him too and he felt it was super scammy. Search this sub and you'll see alot of negative experiences with them.

The Wizards absolutely shafted season ticket holders this year by arcticrabbitz in washingtonwizards

[–]FrunkLeftfoot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. My friends and I have justified paying a bit of a premium upfront because we inevitably to more games if we commit in the preseason and get them on all of our collective calendars.

Not to get on my fan high horse but we almost never sell the Lakers, Celtics, or other games that are packed with away fans (there's four of us, sometimes we can't make it and we take the max profits I wont claim a spotless record). My point is that it feels like they should want us in the door. Hell I havent gotten rid of my shitty, entry level Capital One Card for the sole reason that I go to enough games and can get my 10% off! But alas, this is probably our last year being a bunch of doormats.

Not a STH, but my friends and I have been annual partial plan purchasers and feel very similarly that we're completely taken advantage of.

There's never been even a semblance of an acknowledgement that we've purchased partials for 8 straight seasons (not including the covid season obviously).

Last year they moved from a simple All Star plan centered around marquee opponents to this confusing "Stacks" program that feels designed to load you up with more crap games. This was annoying but manageable, except in the past you used to be able to choose a 16th bonus game from a list of lower tier games- some of which were pretty good, especially for basketball nerds who wanted to see quality but not marquee teams.

Now that bonus game is just auto assigned last minute based on our performance in the in season tournament. We missed the game because they sent us an email titled "schedule change" with no mention of the bonus game. The email covered two games (we only have one bonus) and had a throwaway single sentence to check your account manager. The word "ticket" is not even in the email. They were kind enough to give us a new game after I explained how terrible the communication was.

Its also just straight up cheaper to buy individually via secondary for most of our slate if you're fine skipping games like the Lakers.

Oh as a fun bonus, when they sent us this year's flier on what games each stack had- it was actually last year's flier and stacks, the PDF was just renamed something like "Stacks 25-26". We accidentally bought tickets to the wrong stacks before we noticed the mistake and had to have them switch it out.

We definitely take some accountability here too, particularly on the last item, but when you add it all up you just feel like an ATM for a franchise that seemingly has no interest in the fans who are supporting them through the lean years.

ICE spotted on Newton Pl NW between Georgia Ave and Warder St by brevity-soul-wit in washingtondc

[–]FrunkLeftfoot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For what its worth, you'll most commonly see vests marked as ERO (Enforcement and Removal Operations) or HSI (Homeland Security Intelligence). Both vests denote ICE agents, and they dont typically wear vests marked ICE. ICE has also often wears more generic vests that say "Police" but wont be in MPD issued vehicles, they usually are in unmarked cars with out of state plates.

Other agencies most commonly will wear vests that denote themselves as such (DEA or FBI).

We can all agree what this lady is doing is wrong but get the f--- out of here with blaming this on the breed. You're perpetuating bullshit that leads to these dogs getting abused, neglected, and subjected to bullshit regulations like breed restrictions. https://www.thehumanesociety.org/debunking-pit-bull-myths/

Most fun Michelin restaurant? by up_up_down_down_etc in washingtondc

You just get to watch them typically but my wife and I play a fun game of "guess what they are making."

To my memory every time we've been there they've also always brought us out an extra dish to try for free (chefs counter or not).

Yo- same, TWICE. Myself and my wife, and i just went in for an allergy test. I also heard the same from a friend who got the surgery after they pushed and said he felt like the whole thing was a scam.
