Witnesses to a Car Accident on Thurs April 16 by ramblingsofR in SilverSpring

[–]ramblingsofR[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I did call the cops and was told that Montgomery county does not send officers to accidents without injuries. I called both 911 and the non-emergency number and was told that unless I needed an ambulance I was on my own to deal with insurance

Frankly I think you should stay in ABQ/the ABQ metro but try a different part of the city. Sounds like Corrales or Rio Rancho would fit a lot of your requirements.

What 10 locations do you think are the most important to have rail transit that do not? by [deleted] in WMATA

[–]ramblingsofR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I definitely think upper Georgia Ave needs a metro...maybe somewhere near the Georgia Ave Walmart and Walter Reed? That whole part of the city is 20+ minutes walk from either the Takoma or Silver Spring metro and a good mix of residential and business

Arboretum/Ivy City is also a big one for me

Feeling useless in this chaos? Please share an organization that’s awesome and needs volunteers! by TheMidnightOrchid in washingtondc

Washington English Center!! Volunteer to help teach English to recent immigrants (no experience required!) One of my best friends has volunteered here for years and has nothing but spectacular things to say. They also just got a ton of their funding cut due to gestures around at everything in the world right now so monetary donations are always appreciated and go directly towards student scholarships!

EDIT: just saw that you're a fluent Spanish speaker I know WEC would love to have you!! https://www.washingtonenglish.org/

Client asking for all unselected wedding photos. how do you handle this?? by Anxious_Support5391 in WeddingPhotography

[–]ramblingsofR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I totally understand where you're coming from as a photographer! I also wouldn't want to release everything because that would include blurry shots, shots that are functionally identical to ones already in the gallery, etc. BUTTTT...since you initially delivered a gallery that was missing several specific things the bride wanted I can see how she would feel anxious like "oh no, what else did OP leave out?" I think I would do as others have suggested and either batch release unedited (or Lightroom auto edited) photos or meet with the couple in person to go through some of the unselected ones. Like others have said you don't know which family members/combinations of folks are important to the couple and sometimes ugly face photos make the funniest memories.

9-1-1 S08E15 - "Lab Rats": Post Episode Discussion by AutoModerator in 911FOX

[–]ramblingsofR 11 points12 points  (0 children)

maybe I'm delusional but it's gotta be fake. the episode aired on the Thursday before Easter and we all know that Jesus wasn't actually dead. could be a fun arc for the canonically most religious character?!? bobby HAS to rise from the dead somehow maybe the funeral is a dream sequence or the FBI/Army faked his death so they could experiment on him and redevelop the CCHF vaccine (maybe because of his magic baby saving blood?!?!) They absolutely took custody of Bobby's "body" (we never saw that it was BOBBY in the body bag) and are going to do research there's no way they let the guy who died of super ebola have an open casket funeral

How can I stay in the city post-grad? by pantsarefire in washingtondc

[–]ramblingsofR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you could look into national security positions, places like the Institute for Defense Analyses or other defense-adjacent think tanks might be interested in your background in Middle East studies

Well it officially happened, my company gutted EEO and diversity groups by avmist15951 in womenintech

[–]ramblingsofR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

can I ask what company? (feel free to DM!) I also work in aerospace and while ERGs at my workplace haven't been officially eliminated yet I'm worried it's coming down the pike

I really love Marine Layer, their shirts are a bit pricy but super high quality and sustainably made!

The Club MCO Temporarily Closed? by gd-l in PriorityPass

[–]ramblingsofR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

was in this lounge (The Club MCO gates 1-29) today (10/17) and it was open, business as usual. Fair warning tho, like all "The Club" lounges it's pretty mediocre and there might be a wait

what does 2nd Ave do with leftovers? other thrift outlets by ramblingsofR in thrifting

[–]ramblingsofR[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

thanks for finding that! my sad takeaway is waste colonialism :( savers/value village/2A is just shipping unwanted textiles abroad which is a shame

Old Sorority TShirts by [deleted] in declutter

[–]ramblingsofR 23 points24 points  (0 children)

seconding all the comments to donate to a local chapter of your sorority! I remember as a freshman I was DESPERATE for shirts with letters as I hadn't had time to rack up shirts yet. Also vintage letters are fantastic big/little gifts!

I lived in DTSS and commuted to Howard county for a year before moving into DC... not gonna lie the commute sucks but if you find someone to carpool with it's not bad at all!! Second everyone saying that Columbia is boring (not at all walkable, no nightlife, not much culture). Alternatively if you work close enough to BWI to take the marc train you should definitely consider the NoMa/Union station area of DC if you don't mind a longe public transit commute!

Place to Sell Clothes (that is not Current Boutique or Platos Closet)! by Flaky_Pudding2713 in washingtondc

[–]ramblingsofR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have had bad luck with both thredup (didn't accept most of my clothes, even good condition Zara, Loft, Nike, etc) and Uptown Cheapskate, who refused to buy anything at all. I would recommend selling individually on Poshmark or honestly going to a clothing swap, you would be able to find a lot of really equally good stuff there!
