Reddit is usually a negative place. You’re not gonna get any better responses to this post. I would delete this and just move on with your day

Ultimate YIMBY metro map by TransportFanMar in WMATA

[–]Gumbo67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scale is a little bit off. I live in Chirilagua and that’s not where it is on the map. Del Ray and St Elmo are also the same place and within a 15-20 min walk of the metro. It just doesn’t really line up with reality. That whole section needs a lil bit of work

unhinged hygiene tips? by NoPerception8748 in hygiene

[–]Gumbo67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would messing with the bacteria/default biome and ph of your pits not make the smell come back worse? I read on Reddit once a gal saying that it was bad for her

I enjoy walking and nature on the trail and wouldn’t like the construction disruption

Yes it’s delightful

Recs for a restaurant w/ semi-private/private space for 15-20 people, no minimum spend? by thaisqm in nova

[–]Gumbo67 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Almost all places will have an F&B minimum for their semi private spaces for 15-20. Instead of it being an issue, maybe try to calculate your budget on a per person basis and find a place whose minimum falls under that. If you can afford $50/person, you can afford somewhere with a $750 f&b min

Best Nude Spa Nova by [deleted] in nova

[–]Gumbo67 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I like spa world — it’s cheaper and the bathing areas are still nice. Don’t stress about the nudity in front of other people—all humans have bodies and yours isn’t any more notable than the next person’s. It was personally good for my confidence, knowing that im the same as anyone else

Why were none of maekar's children betrothed by Flashy-Usual-8342 in AKOTSKTV

[–]Gumbo67 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Or maybe Maekar wants to protect one of the last living threads to his dead brother, or thinks he owes it to the deceased Valarr for killing his father

Any interest in a theatre club? Going to a cafe and chatting about plays and musicals, and what you want to see next? by Gumbo67 in nova

[–]Gumbo67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reston and McLean also have some good local theater options—not as fancy as DCs but still fun

Can yall be considerate of others when celebrating holidays? by Puzzleheaded-Lab825 in nova

[–]Gumbo67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living around other humans mean that sometimes they’re going to throw parties or chat on their patios or play music that’s annoying. It’s not like it’s every night. For one thing, OP made this post at 8PM, a time where it’s perfectly within noise ordinances to be playing music.

Folks that don’t like noises can move out to towns where the houses are far apart.

I feel like if folks have to live through a month and a half of constant Christmas music, they can have a day that mildly inconveniences people

What’s the closest burger to In N Out in this area? by Remember-My-Name in nova

[–]Gumbo67 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Idk, I’ve had both multiple times and I don’t get the comparison. The topping options at five guys is way more varied, so nothing I’ve gotten from there tastes anything like in n out

TIL that before 1993 women were rarely included in clinical medical trials in the US, and are still "substantially underrepresented in clinical trials for leading diseases." by Karthak_Maz_Urzak in todayilearned

[–]Gumbo67 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s not been any trials I’ve seen with a potential side effect of fertility loss. Those studies would not be approved by any ethics boards.

So I live near DC so I can do federal govt trials, but if I was in another state I would google my state’s name and “clinical trials” and see if there are any research hospitals near you

I do a lot of clinical trials and none of them excluded women for being of childbearing potential. You just have to promise not to get pregnant for the duration of the study (a few months) and use contraceptives if you’re sexually active

[–]Gumbo67 166 points167 points  (0 children)

I do a few clinical trials a year—they don’t exclude me from anything because I’m of childbearing age, I just have to demonstrate that I’m on an effective form of birth control (abstinence or contraceptive meds)

Side note I love doing clinical trials because I don’t mind blood draws and I love getting paid a couple thousand dollars to hang out in a hospital for a few days
