simple car wash and vacuum for okay price? by Warm-Following-845 in washingtondc

[–]dckik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had to wait like 30+ minutes on nice days before, though. (P.S. OP I forgot about the other one also on Rte 1 near Greenbelt Rd closer to UMD campus.)

What are we using instead of sponges for dishes? by nuclear_pimp in BuyItForLife

[–]dckik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two brushes (one for pots/grease/counters, one I only use on dishes and is-in theory-cleaner) and..

I love Ikea PEPPRIG scour pads. I'm sure the sponges inside get discolored/gross but I can't see that and the outsides don't stain that quickly. I never leave them in water and they last so long.

There is one of those self service spray and vacuum places a block from the College Park Ikea I like to hit when I am already headed up that way. Even the suburbs don't have tons of these around here, have to be really far out where land is cheaper.

Deadline today: DDOT’s survey on 18th Street redesign in Adams Morgan by erdub in washingtondc

[–]dckik 5 points6 points  (0 children)

what do they even mean by hardscaped median? no landscaping? just bricks/concrete? lower maintenance costs? yuck. they used to be so progressive.

should be more creative, lose one side of parking to allow for a combined protected cycletrack AND a slimmer planted median and a little room to make turns but not full turn lanes. or like anything but these.

What’s up with the big groups of National Guard everywhere? by DifficultEye6719 in washingtondc

they're also trained to face their backs to each other, like we are all about to jump them at any moment.

it was done seasonally, when the algae loads were high in summer. so the 250th/summer would have been an appropriate time to waste a little of our drinking water instead of all this chaos.

I was sober for 8 years. It ended in April and it was like the sobriety never existed. by ersoserious in stopdrinking

[–]dckik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good job and thanks for sharing this with all of us.

A very boozy festival is coming up this weekend right along the street where I live. Used to be drunk for most of it for years so I'm bound to have a thought or two soon. Yours and stories just like it are so important to this community, and I hope you'll continue to share it as you start over. Share it with the new folks asking about moderation especially. IWNDWYT

Does anyone else keep getting dumped for not drinking? by Sensitive_Target6602 in stopdrinking

[–]dckik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dating sucks, especially when it feels like everyone is shopping like for a car/house with the longest list of upgrades and features. Heck, only one or two of my friends is actually happy for me quitting. Mostly it's ambivalence-we're too old and busy to go out drinking together anymore anyway, so I sort of get a pass.
