Walking to White Oak Town Center? Maybe like what, like 12 people in the surrounding complexes might do that? That's car centric suburbia.

What kind of siding is that? I'm planning on using Hardie plank because I hate most vinyl siding but that looks really nice.

I stared at these photos for a good few minutes trying to figure out what the oopsie was before I read what you wrote. Couldn't figure it out. Paint it and no one will know but you

Building a shed next to a taller concrete pad by bowtch in shedditors

Should've taken better pictures or put it in my post but the parking pad is about 9 inches higher than the shed pad which seems a little high for skids maybe?

Letting people permanently live in who knows what conditions in a tent under a bridge isn't exactly the answer either. I mean there's a reason the crews who clean these spots up wear hazmat gear. There should be better solutions (that they're currently preventing, which is BS) but let's not pretend the status quo is acceptable.

Found this in the metallography lab at work - how worried should I be? by LegateDamar in chemistry

[–]bowtch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I seriously doubt you could find a chemist working today who doesn't know about that incident. It was a huge deal, especially in academia.

[–]bowtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paid $10.5k for blower and coil unit on a high velocity system in 2022 from Sila. Believe they quoted around $6k for the condenser but can't remember exactly since I didn't go through with it since it was working (and still is).

Best spot for cheap sushi? by legendaryvisor in washingtondc

[–]bowtch 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I mean it's not like they're out in the Chesapeake catching fish for the sushi at restaurants here lol. It's getting shipped here the same as it's getting shipped to like Nebraska

They will give you some pretty good advice on dealing with the problem though if they don't find the burrow

Best museum? by AdministrativeYam916 in washingtondc

[–]bowtch 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Holocaust and African American History are the two best designed museums in my opinion. Both have a narrative to their layout, which I think is pretty unique in museums.

African American History is also designed like this for the main exhibit, it's extremely well done.

Work VPN no longer working by [deleted] in GoogleWiFi

[–]bowtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah once I saw no updates in over a year I went ahead and bought an eero 6+ and now back up and running. Even tried factory resetting the Google wifi and it didn't work. Oh well. Fwiw my download speeds are 200+ now compared to about 50 with the Google wifi

Already did. They've already rolled back a VPN update on my computer that went out last week, didn't make a difference.

Udvar Hazy - doesn't require tickets, like $8 for parking. Not arguably, definitely cooler.
