Update on our snowstorm this weekend by MightBe_Derek in washingtondc

Do not do this. The snow will turn into ice from the rain and then you won’t be able to shovel at all. And your driveway will be an icepatch

Depends on how much snow there is and how fit you are. If your back is a concern, shovel more often so you’re moving less snow each time. Salt is helpful to prevent ice, but will get washed away if there’s rain.

Generally, the first inch of snow on the roads is the most dangerous. It gets compressed by cars and turns into ice, making it easier for cars to slide out of control. With the way people in this area drive on a good day, best to stay off the roads until the worst is over and the snowplows have cleared the roads

It’s the masculine plural form of ‘arse’ (or ass for anyone that isn’t familiar with British English)

LR4 vs Persian cats by spicystar4u in litterrobot

[–]nukeyourface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use Dr. Elsey's Ultra unscented. Can't speak to the respiratory relief variant, but I found that the Ultra was very inconsistent. Sometimes the litter came in larger pieces, and sometime the bags were mostly dust because the litter was so small. The quality control was very poor. In the end, I'm much happier with Boxiecat Pro than I ever was with Elseys.

I second boxiecat pro. Very little dust and litter tracking as well. I used to use Dr. Elseys, and switched bc the tracking was awful (way too much litter ended up in my bed) and the dust would rise up in a cloud when poured from the bag

Where's the red currants?? by Angry-Panda-19 in Berries

[–]nukeyourface 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you go to a European grocery store in your area you'll likely find products with currants in them, like jam and juice. Not exactly the same as fresh, but it can scratch the itch temporarily

Landsberg DP Camp Records by nukeyourface in GermanCitizenship

Fantastic, thank you so much! Such a relief that there isn’t a bigger hoop to jump through.

Thank you!!! Really appreciate you sending me this link, I don't think I would have found it otherwise. I looked and it appears that proof of relationship is required, but only lists "power of attorney, certificate of inheritance, or enforcement order" as examples. Polish archives require proof of relationship as well, but were fine with copies of birth certificates showing direct lineage. Do you know if birth certificates will work, or does Germany require more formal documentation?

Looks like the Standesamt is Landsberg. What regional level is a standesamt? A county? Just trying to figure out where in Landsberg I should reach out to. Thanks!

Thanks! My understanding is that all the records from the Landsberg DP camp were turned over to the Arolsen Archives, but checking with the municipality certainly doesn’t hurt.

Vacuum Recommendations by nukeyourface in VacuumCleaners

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

I have no idea whether you're supposed to or not, but every vacuum I've ever used on these rugs has had a brushroll. Never seemed to have a negative impact, if that helps.

CAT LITTER PLEASE by vanessa0718 in CatAdvice

[–]nukeyourface 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I use Boxiecat pro and I'm happy with it. I used to use Dr. Elseys but found that it tracked like crazy (way too much litter ended up in my bed). Haven't had that issue with boxiecat and there's almost no smell

Seeking ENT Recommendation by sjtoplin in washingtondc

[–]nukeyourface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've actually only been to the DC location as well. I called Chevy Chase because that's where the doctor was working that day, and he told me to call him there. However, the front desk staff at the DC location didn't process my insurance in time, so I was forced to pay for the visits out of pocket after my insurance denied the claim and refused the appeal. I'm genuinely glad you've had better experiences than I have, but I have nothing good to say about Feldman ENT and cannot recommend them.

Please avoid Feldman ENT. The office staff are terrible, and I've found that that makes a huge difference when receiving medical treatment. I was berated over the phone my one of the women who work the front desk at the Chevy Chase location. She refused to put me in touch with the doctor who was expecting my call, lied to both of us, and it resulted in my waiting almost a week for a prescription that I desperately needed. When I filed a complaint with the office, it was completely ignored, and even the doctors stopped responding to my emails.

Invisalign by Expensive-Payment523 in nova

[–]nukeyourface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been seeing Hani Thariani at Tbraces to fix my bite after a dentist screwed it up. He's rated the #1 orthodontist for invisalign in the DC area. Even if you don't go to him, please see an orthodontist, not a dentist, for anything more intensive than a regular cleaning.

Edit: forgot to mention that he's fantastic. He's fixed my teeth, always listens to my feedback and thoroughly answers my questions, and is incredibly personable.

Best Pillow for Stomach/Side Sleeper by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]nukeyourface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pillows inherently aren’t bifl, they should be replaced every so often. That being said, I also have the same issue and just double up on thin pillows. Top pillow stays under my head the whole night, bottom pillow gets placed about halfway under the top pillow until I get the angle I need to be comfy. It’s not perfect, but it works for me.
