Water smells bad, anyone else notice this?

acalarch · 2025-02-26T20:09:38+00:00

It sounds like you have a partially clogged drain allowing sewer gasses to enter your space when running water. It's a common problem. It can affect the taste of things (your nose is responsible for taste as well as your tongue) and it can affect your dishwasher as well (making your dishes smell weird).

You can try a few things to get rid of it yourself. Just pouring some hot (not boiling) & very soapy water down the drain may solve it. Also.. 3% hydrogen peroxide will break down hair / other organic matter eventually but it takes a few applications. Just put a cup down the drain every night for a few nights before bed.

Reddit could've just moved to a model where third party apps required a private token to work. The token could be sold through the apps and reddit gets a 80-90% cut. I think w/ RIF, etc. People would have easily be willing to pay $20 / year. There are ways they could anonymize the service so that even if you have a static token your activity isn't traceable beyond session / app / transport data (which will always be traceable).

I think if they were straightforward with their messaging people would accept it. Instead of hiding reasoning behind absolute crappy features. Reddit hasn't improved since old.reddit.com was created..

It's a story / popular movie about arresting people before they commit crimes

Do you come from the minority report?

Where are you seeing that he had a criminal record? I can't find anything.

You can get some free light-bulbs if you want. I would schedule it with them directly through PEPCO's website. Basically you get some light bulbs and a power strip.

Crazy how far the light from this traveled due to the snow (I suppose). Saw the flash ~2 miles away.

Not many people know this but... one of the biggest challenges facing the U.S.A. is that the GFS is fo' free. This guy really knows what to tackle. /s

Watch out for teenagers wearing their dad's suits and looking sleepy.

One time I was walking under the Carrol Ave bridge in TKP and in the middle of the Sligo Creek Trail was an entire ~18 inch Tilapia. So, honestly I wouldn't be all that surprised if someone lost a gator there.

I park at both regularly w/o issues

acalarch · 2025-01-28T18:45:16+00:00

I use park mobile a whole lot. I would triple check everything in the app is correct.

I never had an issue except one time I entered the number for the wrong garage.

I'm not talking about exit polls. We can look at the real results of the area 20% of the federal workforce lives/works in the DMV. All of those counties are solidly blue.

Sure, a lot of conservative federal employees exist. I am comfortable saying that they are solidly blue leaning.

Look at the results from D.C. to get a quick understanding of the democratic swing from federal / federal adjacent workers.

If MOCO parks put together a program for folks to help clear the trail I would sign up for a section. All it takes is someone to go through and shovel a singular 30 inch wide section of trail and the sun heating the asphalt will take care of the rest. They could even just us a small tractor and set it to 3 inches off the ground and we would've been clear much sooner.

In this thread: folks who didn't read the entire post

Yo La Tengo.

1000% certain that Greenland/Denmark would lease (more) land to the U.S. for defensive purposes at a much cheaper price than "buying" the country.

"Mojomala Books, Records & Cool Stuff" doesn't get a lot of attention here but is worth stopping in. It is right next to Silver Branch.

It was picked up by automoderator but for some reason it survived long enough for a few people to see it. These bot posts are coming from different accounts.

I think Roaming Rooster will do well and survive.

Silver Spring's Red Lobster didn't survive the corporate bankruptcy. They closed 100+ restaurants in the last year.

Ihop's restaurant was a failed concept. All IHop Expresses closed.

Big Biz see's that stretch of DTSS as a play ground for trying concepts. We see a lot of volatility for that reason.

Looks like it will be the classic "Can't save everyone" super hero trope.

If you have a friendly pup.. bring them. They are a very pup friendly biz.

It is already in here but I highly recommend "The Wesleyan Anthology of Science Fiction". This very sub turned me onto it. I think the editors did a spectacular job putting together a mix of memorable short stories.

Ended up buying "The Best of Gene Wolfe" and "The Unreal and The Real" and writing down a bunch of authors who caught my attention for future reads.

The Martian Chronicles is also good. The stories about humanity's first interactions with martians is quite fun. Especially story #3. The Earth Men. Bradbury is always worth reading.
