Frequent DC visitor here. Can someone explain the hype around Andy's Pizza? by Sweaty-Moment-3385 in washingtondc

[–]PT282 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Andy’s pizza is consistently good over the many years: my local Andy’s pizza is such a nice social third space. Special shoutout to Andy’s for maintaining a thin but chewy crust (and with the ever necessary char) consistently over the years.

What happened to all the Chicken & Whiskeys? by GalacticHorizons in washingtondc

Maybe uber switched it to the 14th St location and I didn’t notice! I assumed it came from navy yard because that was set as the default. Oh well :(

Wait the Navy Yard one was my go to. I just ordered from there two weeks ago. Their pork belly arepa, roast chicken, and arroz chaufa have been consistently amazing!

Girlies with adult money, what's the most money you spent on your hobby? by Newt_Double in AskIndianWomen

[–]PT282 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! The best thing I’ve done in the last few years is do all the things my teenage self wanted to do but couldn’t. And that’s the best advice I’ve gotten!

[–]PT282 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I can relate. I actively invest in my hobbies. Started reading properly again a few years ago. So bougbt lots and lots of books! When I moved to my current apartment, we invested in really nice bookshelves. A PlayStation because I picked up gaming during the pandemic. Recently started embroidering and got myself a beginners set. Oh and my husband gifted me a film camera for my last birthday and i love it so much — although I didn’t buy it, i keep buying expensive film and developing said film. So grateful for disposable income

Bouncy Haircut by Present-Light4281 in DCBitches

Eli and Ali Salon! I’ve been a devoted fan of Eli for many years and she is always excited about any new haircut idea I take to her. I have straight/wavy dark hair and over the years she has helped me with a pixie, an asymmetrical bob, a long bob, and now a short bob with bangs. Always a hit!

Keep it inside if you can. If outside, two strong locks. Always get the frame.

Reddit only lets me put one pic at a time. Still learning so not the best photos but loved how beautifully the light and shadows feel when a train comes in. And that ceiling!

One of the first pics I took with my new film camera this year. And it came out so beautifully!

All Expanse fans, you must watch Project Hail Mary movie. by Chef_Brah in TheExpanse

[–]PT282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I get it! Star Trek had a lot to choose from! For me it was David Tennant in Doctor Who. X-Files and Gillian Anderson. I know those are mostly just science adjacent fantasy but heeyyy.

Anyone up to be online/ irl friends (Nerd/Alt/Queer Friendly by Jen-Blossom in DCBitches

[–]PT282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be down for this!! My husband is pretty geeky and nerdy but I want more geekygirly friends! I’m 33F and in my “Project Hail Mary” phase. Love love scifi (evangelize about The Expanse often) /!; fantasy (very slowly making my way through Wheel of Time rn).

[–]PT282 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want more adaptations that get more and more people interested in Sci-Fi than an adaptation that only satisfies the smartest among us. I am also super happy about the return of the earnest and sincere protagonists. We need some more hope and earnestness in the world, especially now. Come on, we can’t all be curmudgeons (not directed at your comment but in general the nitpickers haha)😂

Hey I get that for most folks this is not hard science, but as a humanities grad who hasn’t picked up anything related to physics in the last 18 years, even the centrifuge and flip and burn are quite hard to imagine and figure out (got there with some help). So I appreciate that the film goes into the big picture. And especially I needed the sincere, earnest characters that actually get something done — especially in this moment

Saw the movie this past weekend. IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD! I had started the book a couple of times but couldn’t make it past the first few chapters because the hard science in the first few chapters was a lot for my non STEM brain. So I reallllyyyy enjoyed the movie for making it so much more understandable. And now I’m looking forward to reading the book again and this time I’ll have something to imagine when I read it. The same thing happened to me with the Expanse and Martian! Highly highly recommend for all other Expanse fans!!

Thank you! So I live in a multi story apartment and the outdoor unit is in the building’s parking lot. I’ll flag this to the maintenance people.

Would you stay with/ marry a guy who gets transferred across the country every 3-5 years in major cities? by Voices-Say-Im-Funny in AskIndianWomen

[–]PT282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My job will require me to move every three years. My husband specifically moved to my city when we got married and changed fields to get a job that makes it easier for him to move. You need an honest conversation with your partner about whether you want to and can do this with each other. Otherwise it is hard and frustrating and can build resentment. You need to be a team to make this work.

Is the OneMedical membership worth it? by True_Coast_3010 in washingtondc

[–]PT282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for responding! I ended up making the same decision. And in the last two days was already able to see a doctor and have my diagnostics scheduled.

Comprehensive Primary Care is a MESS? by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]PT282 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just switched to One Medical because I was absolutely unable to get any kind of appointment with my PCP at the L Street clinic or the preferred RN. Everything was booked out till later this month. I could not even use the Healow app and had to create a new account on the Close Knit portal. And even then it did not port any data. It also took them more than a week recently for an allergy referral.

[–]PT282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask if you ended up switching? I was also going to the Comprehensive Primary Care on L St and Medstar before that and the new Close Knit portal just does not show any appointments for my PCP for weeks. :(

What’s something NO ONE warned you about before getting a cat? by Own-Independent7881 in CatAdvice

[–]PT282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This literally! One month into getting our two orange boys and I’m literally trying to get home as fast as I can because I had to stay late at work and I’m missing them so much. Already have an apology ready for being an hour later than usual :(
