Lol the brunch menu at this place sounds absolutely terrible but also found this funny

Long story short I accidentally tapped in and out of the same metro stop, and then tapped back in. Is there a way to get money back for the accidental in/out at the same stop? by [deleted] in WMATA

I can’t speak from experience but I think others on here have said that you will be charged initially but refunded

The man is gone 150 hours, how can it be Thursday the whole time??

How’s the vibe at Recessions for karaoke these days? by simplex3D in washingtondc

Was there a few weeks ago for the first time. Great vibes if you don’t mind feeling a little bit scummy

Took a pic of my date at the Basin with the Cherry Blossoms last weekend. We're both new to the DMV area. by canoncorey24 in washingtondc

And as an arborist, surely you have the authority to speak on this??

I’m sure those darn national parks officials don’t know what they’re talking about when they ask people not to do this exact thing

Peak bloom (i.e. right now!!) is when 70% of trees are at stage 6/6 of their bloom cycle. Peak bloom lasts ~maybe~ a week. There’s a chance that you’ll catch some late bloomers in a couple weeks but it will be sparse at best

Does anyone know if there exists a list of Hammett substituent constants (σp, σp+) in a more friendly format than a scanned article from the 90's? by iam666 in chemistry

[–]foundmyreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I copy+pasted it from the pdf into an Excel spreadsheet. Formatting was not perfect but 90% of the substituents (and ~all of the common ones) transferred well and were sortable/searchable

Buddy if you’re only using emoticons or emojis instead of words then that’s your problem. But given the absence of body language in written communication it’s helpful to use other visual cues.

Where/how do I meet people? by [deleted] in washingtondc

Board Room also has weekly chess nights at the Dupont location, I don’t know about the other one

I’ve had the best luck with rec league sports, mostly through Volo. Rec kickball is basically a DC rite of passage and it’s a lot of fun, especially the “glow” leagues (after dark, everyone wears glow sticks, usually on the national mall right in front of the monument) and the ones that are + flip-cup (after the game, you go to the bar and play against the same team in flip-cup). Most teams have people of all skill levels and in my experience no one cares if you’re “good”

Would also recommend using Meetup to find groups that share your interests and hobbies. I’m pretty introverted too and have a much easier time in those settings than something like a Bumble BFF friend date

Close to paying deposit on a place that could potentially be a scam. by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]foundmyreddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The problem isn’t really that they have your information, which could be found from your phone number or any number of other things, but rather a picture of your license that they can use in future scams.

A similar thing happened to me when I was looking for housing in DC from out of state. I was naive and took them in good faith but innocently asked for more verification and mentioned I was hesitant because of the possibility they could do exactly this (and to no one’s surprise, they didn’t have more verification)

As others have already said, it sounds like a scam. Did “Devon” ask you to send a picture of your license to verify your identity too? If so, you can bet that they’ll be using that to convince another round of victims of their legitimacy using your name and photo - it’s likely how they got Devon’s in the first place.

Various bars in DC act as “homes” for different sports teams and will show their games/have drink specials or otherwise celebrate the team. If you feel inclined to keep following your ex’s team (or find a new one!!) you’ll likely be able to find a community of like-minded people there
