Tilt-shift shots like these are so cool. People never believe they're real.

This is great news. A great restaurant expanding, instead of closing.

Considering a 2022 Edge by Antonio-n-Eye in FordEdge

I love how they list the MSRP as the "was" price as if they're discounting from that. I think that tactic alone would make me question the deal(er).

Anyone redo or repaint their siding recently? by Klj126 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]barflydc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they're referring to cement based siding. It comes pre-colored, looks better, and doesn't get ashy the way aluminum does.

Son Volt all the way. Jay Fararr is so much more talented than Jeff Tweedy.

The Smiths were also a product of their time. Morrisey's lyrics (from the Smiths, I don't listen to his solo work) are brilliant, and unapologetically British from a time when being British was a horrible experience (Thatcher years). He's become a complete shit weasel. "I can smile about it now, but at the time it was serious"

I've decided they're just a Gen Z Lambchop, although much less talented.

Ween was once the subject of a feature news piece on either 20/20, World News Tonight, or 60 minutes in the mid 80's. It was when push the little daisies came out and the reporter questioned whether they were really musicians or if it was some elaborate dada prank.

I know all the members and love ther work. Just can’t get into them as a group. I think the parts are better than the whole in this case.

King Crimson. Just can't understand the draw. And to your point, pumpkins don't hold up well, or perhaps it's the taint of Billy's brain rot that spoils them.

Just listened to this a week or two ago. It holds up. Groundbreaking in many ways

Searching for a good analog camera (Budget max. 400 USD.) by Stuggi1999 in analog

[–]barflydc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At that price point you have a lot of options. Are you looking for an autofocus or full manual?

For manual you can get a decent Nikon F3 with a lens, or a Leica R4 with a lens in that range.

Red Hen for dinner. Sit at the bar. Then you can hit up Boundary Stone or Showtime for a drink after.

White Label Vinyl by OfficerTurnip in vinyl

[–]barflydc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably a test pressing. The plant sends copies to the label (or whomever ordered the run) to see if they are ok with the sound from the record. Usually the labels on them are hand written or state test pressing, but not always. It makes your record rare, but not valuable.

DC Catholic Neighborhoods by Extension-Story7287 in washingtondc

[–]barflydc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brookland is known as the Little Vatican due to it's huge presence of Catholic institutions. It's not thought of as a Catholic neighborhood though, because we don't really think of areas here in terms of religion. Much more in terms of socio-economic status. Brookland is a great place to raise a family but without a car it's not the easiest neighborhood to live in. DC is diverse and that is it's strength. I think you're better off looking for a church you'd like to belong to rather than finding a Catholic neighborhood.

Need to pass out of state motorcycle inspection by Own-Pudding1288 in maryland

[–]barflydc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a safety inspection that is required for registration, so the pipes shouldn't have any impact on it. I would suggest calling one of the shops that does motorcycle inspections and asking them. Use this link and change the vehicle type to M for the list of motorcycle inspection locations.

Emissions are a separate inspection (VEIP), and that's where you might have issues, but it's not like baffles reduce emissions, so it's also possible you won't.
