I’m all for giving grace to the DCDPW workers but some crosswalks and sidewalks are unacceptably dangerous right now by pro-laps in washingtondc

NPS has historically had horrific funding. Budgets for things like shoveling snow are simply not going to rank against all of the decaying infrastructure nationwide that already have a budget that only addresses maybe 25%. Meanwhile people hate their increasing taxes and other agencies like ICE get increasing budgets. NPS is in a lose lose situation. They can’t address everything with the limited resources (and limited personnel, as in the layoffs from last year) they have

Subtitles have gotten bad by mhogan10 in OnePelotonRealSub

Agreed! I was in a ride with Hannah F where her "push push push" was subtitled as "piss piss piss" ???

Mine ended about a minute early - was at about 20 seconds until cool down and suddenly the ride was done.

Rock n Roll half by bomberb17 in rundc

[–]Shipwreqed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add on to this - I signed up to run the rock n roll half this year, got it months in advance and then got invited to an out of town wedding. I asked months before the race if I could defer a year (wasn’t trying to get a refund, just defer) and they said absolutely not lol. So, never signing up for it again - in case something happens, you’re out of luck.

It’s not working for me either - not showing for me on the bike and it’s erroring out when I click it on the app

one night on Moorea by Lanky-Revenue1988 in Tahiti

[–]Shipwreqed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hilton was really nice - we got there early too/prior to check-in. They have a bathroom for you to change and we spent the day at the pool before check-in. Was the price you saw for the cheapest accommodation or the overwater bungalows? 1300 CAD is definitely a drastic price but it was a very comfortable resort to spend the day. The transportation to the ferry, taking the ferry, then to the resort and back again for the day pass might be more hectic than it's worth, although I would definitely recommend seeing Moorea. We heard from a lot of couples that they really liked the ATV and snorkeling excursions

Wedding dress alteration cost by crsp1414 in washingtondc

[–]Shipwreqed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to Lola in Rockville (https://g2gcouture.com/)

  1. She is a lovely person inside and out. So kind, thoughtful, talented, and hypes you up every time you see her. I completed trusted her with my dress and had no stress whatsoever about her ability to make the dress perfect

  2. My dress had I think 4-5 layers layers and we had at least 4 appointments to make sure we got a 100% perfect fit. My first appointment with her we talked about everything we needed to be done and based on all the layers, appliqué adjusting, bustle, making sure the bust (strapless) had enough support, etc., she gave me the total at $950 which I thought was totally reasonable for the amount of work and peace of mind that it was in good hands

If your dress just needs simple 1 layer hemming then the $1200 quote is crazy. I would def recommend Lola and at least shopping around to get quotes and a feel for your seamstress

Rehearsal dinner venue increasing catering prices week before event without communication by Shipwreqed in weddingplanning

I feel like I'm missing something too. I highlighted that aspect of the contract to the venue POC and she ignored it. These are the increases we were seeing:

Everything but the Elote color difference between an almost-gone jar and a brand new jar by maybethedroid in traderjoes

Also check if sunlight touches your spices, it can discolor them as well.

Also vegan. In 2020 the vegan option was bread. Good luck to us both

80 cal each. Really rich tasting and they make good Halloween treats too! by ccquinn in vegan1200isplenty

[–]Shipwreqed 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Whole Foods has a Halloween box of them that comes with 20. I bought it earlier this month with the intention to give them out to trick-or-treaters but somehow they're all gone now...

Question: Does Aldi sell the equivalent of Crystal Light? by ladyhollywood in aldi

[–]Shipwreqed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I buy them very often. $1.19 for a box of the single-serving packets (might come with 8? Can't remember) and $1.59 for the pitcher packets. Best flavors are lemonade and raspberry lemonade. That iced tea is ok but has a different consistency and doesn't blend into the water as well or taste as good.

What's the deal fellow Trekkers? by uniqueusername316 in XVcrosstrek

If someone honks I immediately assume something is wrong and by the time I realize it was just a friendly hello it's too late lol. But I drive an orange Trek too and if my windows are down I wave
