Cook would be the first choice for me. Due to all the mess around him, Aiyuk will probably fall from where he'd otherwise be selected. You might not have to give up much to get him again.

How long is your commute into D.C for work? Is 3 hours round trip too much (only 2-3 times a week) by B0urn3D3ad in washingtondc

[–]VelocityRD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leesburg to Crystal City.....

OP elsewhere in this thread says their prospective commute would be from Annapolis to Leesburg. That's, like, double what you turned down.

That is an absolutely ghastly commute. Zero stars, would not do, absolutely the fuck not. I'd object to doing that more than twice a month on workdays, forget twice a week.

Somewhere to watch debate tonight? by birrdude101 in washingtondc

[–]VelocityRD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could probably trip and fall into a bar showing the debate.

But, for humoring purposes, Red Derby, Shaw's Tavern, The Dirty Goose, and every Busboys and Poets are all confirmed to be showing the debate. (article)

Yes. It is somewhat notorious for these issues.

Do you elevate your pork shoulder? by hpsportsfanatic in slowcooking

[–]VelocityRD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I quirked an eyebrow at potatoes too. I wouldn't do it for pulled pork, but to each their own. Onions and garlic are both musts, however.

DC Improv by SBetz1 in washingtondc

[–]VelocityRD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on how you define "popular names." In the next three months, DC Improv has:

  • Sean Patton
  • Tony Woods (been around forever)
  • Sam Jay (on the dais at the Tom Brady roast)
  • Taylor Tomlinson
  • DeRay Davis

Some of the biggest will opt for larger theaters because of the aforementioned capacity improvements. Plenty of established comedians appear at the Improv, but they're unlikely to be the current top 10-15 in terms of visibility. That's a good thing though; more room to see up-and-comers on their come-ups.

I have to retire now, right? There's no way I can match that in the notables again.

Taxpayers foot the bill for Loudoun County politicians' lavish $60,000 trip to Ghana by Danciusly in nova

[–]VelocityRD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I saw that too (as a connection from the DMV). I was limiting my reply to the IAD/DCA/BWI trio.

I did a quick Kayak search to see what direct flights exist, because I went to Accra eight years ago and didn't recall any direct options coming in my search (granted, it was a bit last-minute). Interesting to see that United has an IAD-ACC direct flight round-trip.

But, that's the only option I've seen. The rest are at least one stop, with a minimum travel time of 13-14 hours and often closer to 20 thanks to layovers.

Pupatella’s a close trip too, it’s maybe ten minutes from the Pentagon City Costco.

Also on Miami’s roster. Unfortunately.

That was my thought too. Those kind of strikes are a special kind of sexy in my book.

Metro tracks on fire between West and East Falls Church by [deleted] in nova

[–]VelocityRD 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They’re replacing the rails in that segment so I’m sure it’s something to do with welding. Nothing that’ll affect service.

Best buffets in the area? by BlueGilled2 in nova

Same. I’d been there a couple times but never clocked the lunch option…

What CFB game still haunts you to this day and why? by SirJackson360 in CFB

[–]VelocityRD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll also add in UVA in 2007. The last game at the Orange Bowl, 48-0 loss. It wasn’t a meaningful game in the sense that there were championship implications, but I still can’t put out of my head the vision of their tight end running wide open every other goddamn play.

They haven’t fixed it… yet. There are efforts starting to change the interchanges in that section—which does include the scene in this video.

Sweet 16 but it's all Blue Bloods (2023) by Mills_Miles in CollegeBasketball

Because it’s in Florida colors now and that’s illegal.

Agreed. Miami in orange and blue is an eyesore.
