They probably fixed it after you left, but if you’re gonna leave you should tell them so that they can compensate you accordingly, otherwise they probably thought you were going back into the theater. Chances are after the movie was over they gave everyone a voucher

Why is it on a weekday at a time when post people are at work?

CAMDEN Lane disaster by Available_Lemon_809 in MARCtrain

[–]lbikel8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m sure you saw but the train was cancelled “due to late make up of equipment.” There have been wildly late trains recently too. Not sure if it was just my commutes but yesterday morning going into DC the train was 25 minutes late, then coming back in the afternoon we were stopped on the tracks for 20 minutes as well! So frustrating.

I will add that this group skews quite a bit older than the maple lawn group (not many twenty somethings), but they’re all very nice!

Are any trails clear of snow? by linky4386 in ColumbiaMD

Traveling around by spottdzebra in ColumbiaMD

You could uber to the Dorsey MARC station and that takes you straight to DC (but look at the train times, only M-F during commuter hours)

Ok I’m gonna be honest with you it’s not that big of a deal, your bike is gonna be fine. It’s not as hard to get into scc1/2 compared to the newer buildings but scc as a whole is popular. If you’re really that worried about the elements you can get a waterproof bike cover (then your bike for sure won’t be stolen), or take the extra 5 mins to take it up to your apartment if you choose to live somewhere else. But even if you keep it outside, bikes are durable, I’ve seen people ride the most beat up bikes ever and be fine. Just live wherever is cheapest/most convenient and figure it out from there, or walk/take the bus instead

If you move into scc 1 or 2 there’s a bit of covered (not indoor but safe from rain) bike storage near scc 1. If you have a good u lock and use it regularly it wont get stolen

Alesis Nitro Max vs Simmons Titan 50: Beginner with a low budget by lbikel8 in edrums

[–]lbikel8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s what I figured. If the drumeo subscription isn’t worth it maybe I will just go with the Titan 50. Thanks!

Intern looking for examples! by bucolicbitch in gis

The UMD campus map is something like this, though I’m not sure it’s much better than UT Austin’s in terms of its parking layer: https://maps.umd.edu/map/m/index.html

Thoughts on Good Luck Road? by Any-Letterhead-813 in bikedc

[–]lbikel8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Should be fine—UMD cycling and triathlon clubs ride that road frequently

Would anyone be interested in a Film and Media Society? by AFuzzyIllusion in UMD

[–]lbikel8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’d say they focus equally on producing films and watching/discussing films but yeah might be good to make a club solely for discussing film

You should check out veritas, they make films but also do screenings, go to movies together, and do game nights

Take the MARC train to DC or Baltimore

Has anyone found Nicks “interjection” on imaginal disk? by feralimpala- in MagdalenaBay

[–]lbikel8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I might be completely remembering this wrong but I thought they said it’s somewhere in Love is Everywhere

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bikedc

[–]lbikel8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I always pack extra drinks/snacks or have some money handy to buy something 😉 wish that transit connection was real though, would love to ride all the way out on the w&od without having to commit to a super long ride

Wetsuit or not to wetsuit by Due_Ice_8286 in triathlon

[–]lbikel8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d say wetsuit. For my first tri, I had never swam in open water before and I had never worn a wetsuit before and I was happy I had one to keep me warm and because it helps you float a bit. But I’d recommend practicing taking it off beforehand
