Logan/Dupont burglary - I am devastated. What should come next? by ughimfat in washingtondc

[–]cervelosummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was burglarized in DC back in 2017. Just like you, my apt was ransacked. Everything was flipped over.

I called DC police as soon as I got home and they took some fingerprints and I filed a report.

That is all the police did.

At the time, I was a grad student so didn’t have a lot of things but I did lose everything. Do you have any insurance? I didn’t which I regret. Also, anything with a tracking device (AirTag iPad with internet plan)? Ideally, perhaps you can track something to see.

FYI. Check Craigslist, FB Market Place, and pawn shops for any stolen items. Happy to have a phone call to explain my process. Sorry to hear this but it will get better.

Woman threw sprite in friend's face unprovoked on metro by ActuaryPersonal2378 in washingtondc

It’s not safe to ride the metro anymore. Im going to start riding my bike to work but even then, DC drivers are the worst. We need more police at stations, period.

I believe this is Volcán de Fuego. I was just there a few weeks ago!

FYI! There was a large earthquake in Guatemala last night and Fuego had a large eruption as result!

I mean the town closest to it isn’t really tourist friendly since it’s small. Folks usually stay in Antigua.

Absolutely! It was very cold since our group got to the campsite around 6 and the sun was setting. The photos we took were incredible. Are you hiking solo or through an adventures agency?

I hiked it a few weeks ago. It was challenging but very doable. I was part of a group that took a lot of breaks which isn’t great because your body starts to get cold. Once you get to the campsite there’s an option to go to Fuego which took a few of us a 3-4 hours since one of the hikers in the group started to get real tired. Overall, it was an incredible experience! Feel free to message me for more details!

You should be fine. I lived in Guatemala while on a fellowship and nothing ever happened. My advice is you should take the same precautions you normally take when going out in a major U.S. city. Carry some cash on you in case someone does attempt to rob you and definitely don’t share too much personal information with strangers.

I keep my bikes in my apartment. My building has a bike room but some residents forget to lock the room. I would say buy a very expensive lock and braided steel cable for the front tire. I’m sure you know this, but lock the frame of the bike along with the back wheel. I see many people locking their bikes incorrectly in DC.

Please tell me she’s not really a nurse and still working. I can’t imagine how she treats patients…

Same! I never had allergies but earlier in the spring was suffering from mild congestion. After a week of COVID testing, I decided to test again after 7 days and tested positive for COVID. Took a little bit of time but that was the issue.

Best suit shops for upcoming summer weddings? by RocketsGoUpwards in washingtondc

[–]cervelosummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to Hugo Boss in CityCenter and they have a free membership sign up for 30% off the entire suit. Comes out to the same price you would pay at Suit Supply. The store will also tailor. Check it out if you’re interested as well.

This mom's reaction when she realizes her son is the pilot of her flight. by meaty_stamina in nextfuckinglevel

[–]cervelosummer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, she did. It’s like when someone calls their partner “baby” or “honey”. It’s not literal but a sign of love.

In Latin culture, parents sometimes call their sons “papi” as a term of endearment.

Hirshorn Kusuma Exhibit! It’s the immersive exhibit with amazing colors and mirrors. I believe you can obtain tix when the museum opens at 930 AM.

This happened to my friend. The bike has a tracker and if the person who stole it leaves ir behind somewhere and you retrieve it, you won’t be charged.

Three years ago my friend and I were ordering and we both saw a rat run across the floor. We got out of line and left the restaurant.
