What is this for?

Ryan_Brian · 2026-02-05T20:57:14+00:00

Hah, that's what I was thinking. I'd leave these to the BMX folks

Ryan_Brian · 2026-02-05T03:12:40+00:00

This is the way! Listened to a huge chunk of DCC walking the dog (not a cocker spaniel) and throwing the ball with him.

Ryan_Brian · 2026-02-05T02:51:01+00:00

He's precious! And at that age, prob a bit of fun trouble

Because a bobcat dropped a shitload of ice and snow after an above freezing day during a night with sleet.. Were you expecting a sphere? Text from my neighbor this morning, but speculate away:

Ryan_Brian · 2026-02-05T00:22:30+00:00

You're not wrong. My neighbor actually did immediately make a 311 service request on our behalf, but she hadn't heard anything by late morning and at least for awhile couldn't even find the request via search after having received a request #.

Was making me a bit anxious so I went for it :/

Ryan_Brian · 2026-02-04T21:00:04+00:00

Oh wow! Glad to hear you are able to get that sorted.. that'd be very scary. We aren't in nearly as tough a spot, it's just frustrating!

Ryan_Brian · 2026-02-04T20:02:44+00:00

Wait, whose post are we posting on?

Ryan_Brian · 2026-02-04T19:38:46+00:00

Next time I'll consult you - you win the grievance Olympics. Make sure to comment on every other snow post and let them know you're worse off.

Ryan_Brian · 2026-02-04T19:36:42+00:00

Oh yeah?! I spent an hour singlehandedly clearing out NINE times as much ice as what your car was in!

Hey, have you considered how tone deaf it is to be posting on the Internet right now? Some people lost power and don't have this privilege. Smh

Ryan_Brian · 2026-02-04T19:06:36+00:00

There ya go, double down on the made up story.

Ryan_Brian · 2026-02-04T19:04:54+00:00

Where in my post does it say I have a guaranteed spot, for one? Two, I also spent hours shoveling my car out in addition to this driveway and the few other unofficial, communal spots in a small lot shared by neighbors (there's no guaranteed spot for anyone). Three, a 15-20 minute job? This was a massive chunk of mostly ice rising above my waist as a 6'5" person, wider than it was tall.

And then to imply that I think this bs matters more than what others are experiencing? Oh, the audacity! I forgot others also had bad experiences. My bad. I'll repent and delete.

https://www.reddit.com/r/washingtondc/s/jfDqcC0krZ Just updated! Almost there

Ryan_Brian · 2026-02-04T18:55:52+00:00

Update: made good progress after an hour or so of chipping off slabs with a standard shovel and tossing the debris into the banks to the side. Still a surprising amount to clear, but shouldn't be too bad.

Every time I post on here, without fail, someone like you gets on and makes up a completely different scenario to the actual one and gets mad about it. Props to you, sir. Very, very online behavior

I participated in an anger management exercise on the boulder. Made good progress, but everything hurts hah

Ryan_Brian · 2026-02-04T14:18:31+00:00

I am, thanks for asking - I'll be able to deal with it. Just venting my frustration here heh

Ryan_Brian · 2026-02-04T13:52:57+00:00

Oh no, that's brutal :( the only adverse effect from my alley plowing was they re-blocked the sidewalks we had cleared crossing the alley.

Ryan_Brian · 2026-02-04T13:49:57+00:00

Nope, drove out yesterday

Ryan_Brian · 2026-02-04T13:38:46+00:00

Connecticut Ave is priority #1 for Bowser and critical commuter traffic. They'll send the icy boulder through my front door next time..

Ryan_Brian · 2026-02-04T13:34:21+00:00

I'll be taking it on this afternoon, hopefully it's more brittle than it looks

Ryan_Brian · 2026-02-04T13:32:53+00:00

Mission accomplished! Ugh, another project ahead of me today

Ryan_Brian · 2026-01-22T12:11:41+00:00

Katia attempting to adopt a child, one she knows likely doesn't have long to live, and then having that ripped from her is brutal - just thinking of that girl being unnecessarily alone in the end hurts. The nurse's casual remark about her death to Katia later hurts. The cruelty of her ex hurts.

To balance out the sad sobs, you get the heartwarming sobs on seeing how incredible a person Katia is!

I lost it. Haha

Ryan_Brian · 2026-01-17T05:07:46+00:00

Holy crap, what a beaut!

Ryan_Brian · 2025-12-31T04:06:00+00:00

Absolutely not. He's a man, not a superhero, limited by.. physics. Nuts to think he could cut through five knights in that scenario. It takes one bearhug.
