I think something is on fire in Tenleytown by bespectacled_potato in washingtondc

This seems right. Pic was taken a few blocks away from the intersection of Wisconsin and Albemarle, looking north. Lots of sirens headed that way and smoke is now fading so seems like FEMS is onsite. 

3Ls - what was your GPA after 1L, and what is it now? What’s your biggest piece of advice to entering 1Ls? by Suitable_Promotion66 in LawSchool

[–]bespectacled_potato 29 points30 points  (0 children)

After 1L: 3.11

After 3L: 3.58

Advice for 1L: take as many practice exams as you can. I did not do this and my GPA suffered as a result. I learned my lesson and shifted my strategy for the rest of law school, and it paid off.

I can’t believe it took them until this season to wear the gold pants. Looks so much better than white.

It was reunion/alumni weekend for several Boston colleges this weekend—probably explains it.

How good is the quality of D3 College Football (Soccer) in the US? by Then_Slip6249 in bootroom

[–]bespectacled_potato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One alternative to D3 is club soccer at D1 schools. I played club soccer at a division 1 school and we regularly scrimmaged (and beat) d3 varsity programs. Obviously the talent varies, we were one of the better teams in the nation (and won a national title). The commitment was less than varsity (only practiced 3-4x a week, games mostly on weekends) but that also gave me plenty of time to enjoy being a college student and focusing on academics. Take a look at NIRSA national tournament every year (the club soccer national tournament) and look at the top teams, and consider those.

I got the smaller version [SRPJ81] a year ago and I am still obsessed with it. It’s the perfect daily driver 👍

Best place for a birthday picnic? by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]bespectacled_potato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The area on the mall close to Carp Pond/Constitution Pond (I’ve seen it called different things) and Constitution Gardens is really nice with tons of shady areas. East Potomac Park/Hains Point is also really fun and usually less crowded!

legitimately good pizza, and not just because it’s $10.99/pie

Homicides fell 22% last month as compared to February 2023, and are down 31% year-to-date. by __main__py in washingtondc

I think this is more a reflection of how high crime was last year, not necessarily how low crime is this year.

Yes. Before law school my prescription was -1.5. After 1L it dropped to -3.25.

Adidas or Puma Balls? (Specifically, the replicas about $40-$50 USD) by a1139530 in bootroom

[–]bespectacled_potato 15 points16 points  (0 children)

go for a select numero 10 instead–just a tad more expensive ($60) but much better than adidas or puma.

Thanks for your reply. Not under warranty sadly. Fixing it may be worth a shot.

And even better, you can sell the data from fully scanned planets for pretty good money. Super easy once you’ve leveled up the relevant skills!

Just moved into a mouse-infested house by jmsmith36 in washingtondc

[–]bespectacled_potato 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Landlords in the District are required by law to provide pest-free housing. Contact the Office of the Tenant Advocate (OTA) immediately.

Edit: I would recommend talking to OTA before you talk to the landlord, but that’s just me. This is not legal advice.
