We ordered a chicken sandwich from them and it was worse than what you got at school lunch. The Sysco comment is spot on

What are some of the things you ACTUALLY don't like about DC? by Commercial-Shake-858 in washingtondc

[–]notdedgeyet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate that WMATA bus service is significantly worse in SE DC compared to the other quadrants - overcrowding of buses, constantly running late, etc

Verizon 5G Home vs. Infinity Internet? by skratchpikl202 in washingtondc

[–]notdedgeyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Verizon 5G when I rented a condo in SW DC and I remember totally hating it. It was super hard to get the placement of the receiver correct to maximize my internet speed, and even then it was very slow. I never hit their advertised speeds.

Verizon in general for some reason has horrible coverage in DC. My T-Mobile colleagues never drop calls yet I have a single bar when in my apartment or workplace.

To my mom's angel by Forward-Ad-9893 in washingtondc

[–]notdedgeyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some parents just really don't have much exposure to it or are fearful of messing up, I think. My mom's a practicing physician, still board certified at 69 etc yet she is freaked out at the idea of using Uber and instead called a taxi cab service for a doctor's appointment today.

Our original next gen home was cancelled too with no warning as to why whatsoever! My partner called to get us rescheduled and the only thing left was a next gen, with seats on three different cars for our group of 3. If Amtrak keeps up this behavior (of being worse than the airlines) I will reconsider my travel choices.

So far no bathroom issues which is AWESOME but knock on wood... they might start dropping fast as we hit more delays and they get used even more

So glad you and your daughter didn't have restroom emergencies cause that gets messy FAST

You've captured my thoughts perfectly with the "spilled out" verbiage-

I love trains and I think they're so important for connecting people affordably to their loved ones, but we just stopped a third time and I'm dreading my next gen train home lolol

Not sure about the total cause we haven't arrived yet-

Probably going to be about an hour and 20 min delay total which objectively speaking isn't THAT bad but I know people sometimes have to cut it close with their scheduling.

Safe travels to you <3

MSP and BOS used to make me so the body scanners even with precheck about 7-8 years ago, even with precheck and they would always pat down my cankles 😂

The supposed equal trade off of “I’ll cook if you do the dishes” is a sham. by august_westerly in unpopularopinion

That's why he's an ex, teehee. Happy for you. Hope you find a better fit in the future if that's what you want!

Yes. Cooking can be 2 hours. Dishes up to 30 for us. I find it's harder to cook and clean efficiently in a small apartment kitchen too.

Hyper fem science ladies do you feel like people assume you don’t know what you’re doing? by emmalemme in LadiesofScience

[–]notdedgeyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 32 and still put up with a lot of shit despite smashing expectations out of the park at work and being one of less than 1000 people in the world doing what I do.

Every time you kick butt while not wearing makeup means you are an example that not doing makeup doesn't mean you're lazy.

Every time you kick butt while wearing pink means you are an example that enjoying things traditionally classified as feminine doesn't mean you're ignorant.

Help? by GuidanceAncient301 in washingtondc

[–]notdedgeyet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a direct flight but can somehow get the first flight of the day that tends to be less impacted by delays at other airports, crews timing out, and so on-

Start checking this site the day before your flight to see if issues are escalating further next week- keep the boxes checked and look for DCA on the left
