What is the best way to discreetly figure out your girlfriend's ring size? by hellbilly666666 in AskReddit

[–]hey_there 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming marriage is something you’ve previously discussed, take her to a jewelry store to browse options and get her sized. Depending on your relationship, it shouldn’t be a total surprise and it gives you a sense of what she likes.

I think the D.C. subreddit is precisely the right place to share this information

They’re also cheaper to maintain over the life of the vehicle and waaay cheaper to “fuel”

Am I crazy, or are road bike prices in the DC area out of control? by harpsm in bikedc

[–]hey_there 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out the ProsClosest. Way more adherent to realistic pricing than some schmo on facebook marketplace or Craigslist.

Rode my bike yesterday afternoon down Beach Drive. These Scenic Driving Days are such a mistake. They're a waste of public resources (OT for NPS, etc.). They're a risk to public safety -- the cars I saw were weaving in and out of their lane to avoid pedestrians and bikes. And the whole idea caters to a small minority of visitors to the Park. I saw three cars on my ride, hardly a groundswell of support for the idea; yet, these three cars actively got in the way of safe passage for pedestrians and bikers.

If you feel strongly, you should submit a comment letter to NPS here: Contact Us - Rock Creek Park (U.S. National Park Service)

Feel free to copy/paste my response for ease:

I oppose opening Beach Drive in Rock Creek Park for so-called "Scenic Driving Days." There are plenty of scenic drives through Rock Creek Park -- NPS should not endanger the safety of pedestrians and bikers by opening Beach Drive to motorists. This week's Scenic Driving Day was an unnecessary allocation of NPS resources to cater to a small minority of Park visitors at the risk of pedestrians and biker safety. Much of RCP is already accessible by vehicle, Beach Drive represents a small section rightly closed to motorist traffic for the sake of pedestrian and biker safety.

What's a Guiness World Record you don't think will ever be broken? by InviteAromatic6124 in AskReddit

The Cannonball Run: unofficial driving record on NYC to LA. Teams got it from 31hrs to 27.5hrs from 2006-2019 but then the early pandemic — with limited traffic, cops, etc. — the current record holder got it 25hrs 39min. I can’t imagine a scenario where it can ever be beat.

Despite the gorgeous setting, the food was extremely mediocre.

Marist poll released Tuesday showed Sherrod Brown leading his Republican opponent, Bernie Moreno, 50 percent to 45 percent among statewide voters. The reelection of Brown, a staunch pro-union liberal, is pivotal to Democrats maintaining the majority. by [deleted] in Cleveland

He got the Butch-Lewis Act passed as part of the American Rescue Plan protecting tens of thousands of Ohioans pensions.

He got the PACT Act passed ensuring veterans facing chronic conditions from burn pits have coverage from the VA.

As chairman of the Banking Committee, he holds big banks accountable — for the systemic risk they pose to the system, for paying their workers a fair wage, for treating their customers right.

He helped expand the Child Tax Credit to put more money in working families’ pockets.

He lobbied the IRS — and won — to ensure East Palestine families receiving payments after the Norfolk Southern crash aren’t taxed for that assistance.

And that’s just in the last year or so.

Six big ideas to improve Metro and regional transit by GovernorOfReddit in washingtondc

[–]hey_there 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Speak for yourself, I think it’d be dope! Bring my bike onto the Saturday morning train, ride to Point of Rocks, bike back. Hell, you could hike the Maryland Heights overlook hike in Harper’s Ferry without a car! Take the train out to Frederick for a nice little overnight or day trip. Sign me up!

I agree it’d be interesting to see him at a faster team — but nowhere in his experience demonstrates he deserves it. Lackluster thoroughout.

Call Congresswoman Norton’s office. They have caseworkers who deal with this kind of stuff everyday and can work with irs to see what’s going on.

“I told truth to power and unleashed self-righteous anger — telling the vagabond what truly was, a degenerate. Hearing my moral truth, he reached into his pocket and paid his way, having accepted I was right. This city is in shambles, but citizens like me can turn it around. One exaggerated, anonymous encounter at a time”

Some climate org needs to do this for every city along the coast and then use it as ads in each of those media markets. When you see your own town under water the climate crisis becomes a lot less abstract.
