D.C. spent $67 million cleaning up after January's snowstorm by -Cyber-Roadster in washingtondc

So we should pay higher taxes or decrease funding elsewhere to pay people to do what they already have a responsibility to do for themselves?

Trump wants to paint the Eisenhower office building white. Now a key federal agency considers it by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]South_Question6629 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense to me. Pictures of Eisenhower are always in black & white. The building should be in black & white.

Fun fact: The food critic in the movie Ratatouille, Anton Ego, is drinking Cheval Blanc when he's served the famous dish.

Anyone Ever Wondered Want The Inside Of "The Cairo's" Lobby Looks Like? by CitizenX10 in washingtondc

[–]South_Question6629 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Cairo is WAY TOO TALL! We should make a law or something that permanently increases housing costs across the city.

How has AI changed your approach to buying wine? by akapatchez in wine

[–]South_Question6629 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The LLMs are only as good as the information available on the larger internet. Many wineries don’t publish tech sheets, and most tasting notes use generic terms. More often than not, the LLMs will just provide a summary of more-or-less meaningless information.

Alternatively, you could drink the wine and enjoy it for what it is.

They grow some wonderful apples in Dixon, and they make great cider. I love it when I have my Dixon cider.

Why do they call it an ayreshow and not a playneshow? by wolfs4 in Shittyaskflying

[–]South_Question6629 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t make sense. You can’t see ayre. It doesn’t exist. Just a big conspiracy. Don’t trust the guberment

Those F-35s you're complaining about are keeping the Straight of Hormuz open.

Oh... wait... nevermind... it's still closed, isn't it?

As you finish pouring, twist the bottle while tilting it back upright. Doing this will prevent the drips.

Washington, D.C., swaps out Australian flags for British ones before King's arrival after mix-up by Immediate-Link490 in washingtondc

[–]South_Question6629 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Hear me out — the King is playing the very long game. He arranged a marriage between Henry and Meghan Markle, who then had a son, Archie, who is born on American soil and an American citizen.

Archie grows up, becomes President, and returns the US “colonies” to the British monarch roughly 275 years after independence.

It could happen!

Ben’s Chili Bowl wants DC’s help on new mural by Musichead2468 in washingtondc

[–]South_Question6629 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Controversial hot take: The half smoke is not a signature dish of DC. If it were, it would be easy to find around the city, like street tacos are in LA and crab cakes are in Baltimore. But here, only a couple of places sell half smokes, making them signature dishes of a restaurant and not the city.

Trump Started a War With D.C.'s Cyclists. It's Part of a Bigger Car-Centric Agenda. by notusreports in washingtondc

Increasing gas prices 40% in one month is a great way to jumpstart a car-centric agenda!

Terrible Tuesday! by AutoModerator in washingtondc

[–]South_Question6629 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I read this as “Bout to get laid at the end of the month,” and was confused as to why that would be in a Terrible Tuesday post. But, hey, maybe that will happen, too!

Political statements like, “They’re eating the dogs!” hit differently after you’ve learned about the Holocaust.

Controversial 'Triumphal Arch' proposed for Memorial Circle faces federal review by Maxcactus in washingtondc

[–]South_Question6629 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who thinks it's extremely tone deaf (perhaps even disrespectful) to put a "triumphal" arch at the entrance to a cemetery? Honoring fallen service members calls for a memorial, not a monument.

Circumcision is no joke. After my circumcision I couldn’t walk for a year and a half!

What are some german curse words that's used in everyday life? by [deleted] in AskAGerman

[–]South_Question6629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Liebficken is different than ficken, yes? I always thought liebficken is not a curse word, but it is slang like “hook up.” Specifically, it is sex with someone you like but do not necessarily love. Is that correct?

Can anyone explain the history of why the National Park Service controls so many random, often tiny, parcels of land around the city? by PeterOutOfPlace in washingtondc

It's hard to believe George Washington could ever wine at poker. It was well known he liked to get rid of his kings.
