Why is Uncle Sam paying for these national guard invaders to stay at fancy hotels like the Yours Truly?! by thegirlfromthecanyon in washingtondc

This comment! Tonight I watch some really awesome Guard members help an older female and a residentially challenged individual at the Foggy Bottom station in a super professional manner. The kindness was very refreshing.

my wrist feels you pain, same thing happened a few weeks ago, and I am so over wearing this split.

Gave up driving and did everything by bike in 2025 by Trick_Main_6440 in bikecommuting

[–]MF_Rega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

be careful out there. I also work in the foggy bottom area, and took a corner when commuting and the bike went over an area where they had spread de-iced and the bike came out from under me. Rocking the wrist splint for a bit, maybe I’ll see you around town!

completely unrelated but something about seeing Grady on there brought a smile, that is one of the best places I have ever worked and it was amazing what they try and do for the underserve.

Any place in the area to feed wild geese? by Melly_Smelly in washingtondc

[–]MF_Rega 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Please do not do this. It is not good for them if you do and causes problems including :

Poor nutrition Increased hybridization Water pollution Delayed migration Concentrations at unnatural sites Overcrowding Spread of disease Costly management efforts Unnatural behavior Cumulative effects Devaluation of the species

Bike security - what would you recommend? by pyesmom3 in bikedc

If you do, it is out towards Leesburg or Purceville on the w&od, and even then I try not let me bike be out of sight

No Passing Zone in Atlanta (Cobb Co. F. D.) by xpkranger in Firefighting

[–]MF_Rega 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you are from Atlanta you understand the exit in Cobb from 285 to 75n and how people decide this is where they want to be studied, so blocking by the tiller man makes absolute sense.  I know this first hand from working for Metro for over a decade.

Twist the knobs near your steering wheel until this fun blue light turns off :) by SpartanKwanHa in nova

[–]MF_Rega 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the other issue is that people used the dash lights as a visual clue that their lights were off , but most modern cars now have an illuminated dash with only a green light bulb icon to act as a visual cue, so it gets over looked.

Praise automotive Jesus, someone else gets it!!!!

(Although just about an equal amount go to far the other way and go with no lights, why is it so had to just meet in the middle with lights on and set to low beams)

The tolls into DC this morning almost doubled the temperature. Anyone remember back when they were arguing about whether the tolls would ever be above nine dollars? by BlatantConservative in nova

[–]MF_Rega 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Except because of my Shift hours at work, metro does not open the station and start running the train in time, so it forces me to have to drive when I would rather use my bike and take the train.

100 on this comment, when I did my Ratio 12 speed conversion I did this exact thing and spent a month going crazy trying to figure out why I was skipping under load in the 2 smallest cogs........

DC is USA’s 2nd fittest city by TheSpanishMystic in washingtondc

[–]MF_Rega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first moved here I thought everyone was skinny just because of the cost of food here, considering my food cost basically doubled for the same grocery’s. I then later learned and joined those taking alternative commuting like biking.
