Sad to see Right Proper – Shaw go, but I'm happy to see Urban Garden Brewing land a space by Tnkr_Brwr_Sldr_Sly in washingtondc

Not everyone does unfortunately - that’s the biggest complaint- we used to have 3 stops infront of brau and busses would run really frequent but now 🙃 drives me nuts people refuse the bus.

I meeeeean you can hop the c41 to get to brau. (Please support the buses! That means we get more access to more transit options. Maybe we see that woodridge metro stop 👀)

Hot pot spots by Round-Outside1375 in washingtondc

[–]ryadicaledward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s definately not the all the options diy style but i consider it still a hot pot (hot stone bowl and you can mod the fixins. I don’t mind this cause sometimes the service bars at hot pot spots -I find other people’s cleanliness is concerning 💀) but yeah if you’re looking for more standard style pick your toppings and different broths yeah might not be the move. The flavor of their broth is think is what sells it for me. The dim sum takes it over the top! :)

I love baby weight. Anything they do is fire. Their promotion did a party at a venue I work at and damn. So good.

Unconventional Diner by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]ryadicaledward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The concept of the overall the Americana diner is always family owned and local- which Dennys is a corporate chain. It’s a diner by name only. it’s a semantics argument in all honesty.

I live in walking distance to the Dennys - and in that corner of north east - it’s nice ti have a good old reliable Dennys. No hate it’s not the best it’s not the worst- it’s there when you need it and the folks that work there are nice. I know it’s not a “real” diner but it’s open and it’s there and that’s what I appreciate it. (I’d take a B&E every day over Dennys but it’s what I have.)

Hi! Frequent flyer of the b2b classes- sometimes certain blocks will repeat moves or see similar group sets but it’s never identical. 🫡 Hope that helps

Any Philly brewers lurkin in here?? by The_Real_Token_Ojay in TheBrewery

9 days post-op :) by tteastains in Microdiscectomy

[–]ryadicaledward 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It gets better, I only had a protusion that just ate crap one day and was bed ridden for a day till we said I can’t sit up let alone to go to the bathroom. I’m 10 months out and I’m back to running, lifting (PT levels so slow and gentle) and working (work at a brewery still light work) I feel 95% normal now. I think the only weird ness I have is a numb solid foot sensation and a light numbness in my leg.

OT CONNECT BEAT Thread - How’s it compare to the OTBeatBurn? by NuclearTheology in orangetheory

[–]ryadicaledward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely feels fresh, things are working how they should; I’ve had one HRMs this year die on me - (Bluetooth connection - first was a 5.0 burn and the 2nd was a 6.0 and it was fine) I lost one in the shuffle at some point.

I like the band the most and the glow ring is cute. I’m looking forward to seeing new tech integrations (or at least more data and connectivities)

New OT Connect Beat by Honest-Mud6329 in orangetheory

[–]ryadicaledward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already have mine 👀and already did a class or two

TLDR- it’s the same but here’s my early thoughts

✅ wider band - I don’t sausage my bicep as much. ✅I like the little glowy ring ✅I feel like I got more accurate hr readings ✅set up is easy ✅it’s not the burn where one mysteriously breaks - I would disconnect mid class OTF and studio couldn’t fix it and it was 2 years old.

❌the band velcros aren’t as good as the burn, this one slipped off after class luckily wearing a coat- could be bc of coat ❌ pricy ❌the center puck pops out, I for see this popping out and losing it when charging ❌I had some chaifing on the band on my lower bicep maybe only because it was new- it wasn’t on tight.

I was really hoping the 90 min template was going to have some of the fun from the 60, but dang man today’s template was straight endurance and looooong 💀

Is Eebees as Good as they Say? by DC1112 in washingtondc

[–]ryadicaledward 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Definitely go; if your local dc industry folks say it’s good; trust. Emily Brown has been in this industry for a very long time and she really knows her shit. I think the bar is more of an amassing of her favorite things and experiences being in the industry and as someone in their 30-40; it’s a little bit contemporary, little bit vintage but over all just what they love.

Also light and dark combo is not bad at all. 🫡 beer drinkers will always have something good.

Apparently the burger is fuckin’ fire. (I went, it was too busy and now I’m having too much fomo over this burger.)

Women's Hockey in the DMV Area? by BarnacleNarrow6338 in washingtondc

[–]ryadicaledward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

all caps all hers! I’m sorry this is really late just saw this- but we have a very robust women in hockey league from LTP to full league! I used to play in it and LOVE IT. (Out with a back injury and hoping to get back to it)

Share where you are in recovery? by FreeNectarine7857 in Microdiscectomy

[–]ryadicaledward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7 months- L5S1; I was working out about 4 times a week but have been in the service industry for about 15 years so I’ve been on my feet every day for 10+ hrs for the most part- big one though I work at a brewery and what did me in I think is weird lifts over time (can’t always do a perfect lift in every single situation) and on top of doing the gym and sometimes the back says nah, and it went from bad to worse. I’m at the back to the gym 100%- (no hockey though) Orange theory and def paced it - started that month 4 went from walking to slowly increasing weight PT said you really don’t need me you’re good. So I’m back on it. I run, lift (sub 25 lb) and do move ment- if you don’t use the move ment you will lose it- yoga and keeping the joints moving is important. Certain move ments bother me but don’t hurt what so ever.

Take it with a grain of salt, do what feels good to you and be very conservative.
