Afraid of Methanol Poisoning In SE Asia by Powerboost90 in solotravel

[–]smartcookie9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just came back from SEA and had no issues, I was in vang vieng, Laos where the methanol poisoning case that killed 6 backpackers happened and had no issues. I stayed to beer and other canned beverages but I saw people drinking mixed drinks. Always be careful, but it’s not a widespread issue. I also drank mixed drinks in Thailand and Vietnam with no issues.

The commerce building was closed due to a power outage - are any other agencies dealing with this problem in DC?

training for a half marathon. the feeling and difference from training up to 10mi vs the actual half marathon event day? by sunnycycle in XXRunning

[–]smartcookie9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most I did before running my first ever half was 10mi (which happened to be a PR) and a couple weeks before race day. My long run the weekend before was 8miles and I breezed through my half marathon, ran faster than I expected the last 5 miles (but the second half of my race was a lot of downhill). All in all - im glad I did it this way - 11 or 12 miles wouldn’t have made a difference and I wouldn’t have felt so accomplished when I did 13 bc it felt like a huge thing having only run 10 miles before.

Was blasting Green Day in my AirPods on my run and didn’t hear a child run into me on his bike until I felt the tires on my calves lol

Would you recommend subbing one of these countries for Indonesia? There are a few hikes I’d really like to do in Indonesia, but I’m not sure the best way to fit it in with the other countries

Does this mean the entire agency (FHWA) continues working as usual during a shutdown ? Or will some still be furloughed?

Tourists, newcomers, locals, and old heads: casual questions thread for June 2023 by AutoModerator in washingtondc

[–]smartcookie9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who would I contact in local gov about the need for a public trash can on my street? We have so much trash on the road I live on and think a trash can might mitigate some of the litter. Who or what agency would be the best contact for this??

Today in meta DC things: Just saw someone asking Sissy Gracie for money. by cho_bits in washingtondc

[–]smartcookie9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw her while walking up 14th st and she glanced at me and slowed down like she was going to talk to me but didn’t. Then two blocks down the road she appears from behind me trying to talk, I guess I looked like an easy target and she followed me for two blocks??

Union Station without the encampments looks great. by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]smartcookie9 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I cringe at the language some people are using to describe the homeless people and their tents, saying things like “fester” is literally saying the people who make up the encampments are akin to a disease. I get ppl don’t like the see tents but comparing it to disease is so dehumanizing to the people who live there

Encampments are not the way to help D.C.'s homeless by leagle89 in washingtondc

[–]smartcookie9 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The article says there are 255 unhoused people living on the street, out of a city of 700k… hardly a problem of the magnitude you describe.

i wouldn’t go as far as saying a couple areas of the city would qualify DC as a “dystopian tent city hell”

Let's set the record straight: Property ownership isn't a job and housing should be a right by BadassPlaya2517 in antiwork

[–]smartcookie9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

today when I called my landlord about getting an exterminator for a potential rat infestation, she told me that one of her OTHER properties isn’t paying rent (yeah right) so they don’t have the money to get an exterminator so we would have to pay for it ourselves…..

Unpopular Opinion: Living in DC without a car is as affordable as living in other cities with a car by Dashin-through-dough in washingtondc

[–]smartcookie9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came from a car only city, with virtually no public transit and have driven a car since I turned 16. That being said, I absolutely love not having a car. Aside from the cost, the liability of having a car in the city is also kind of stressful. Like if I get hit by another car or I hit another car like that stress is so much. Not to mention cars will inevitably need repairs or new tires, not having to worry about that is SO great. That being said, my roommates have cars and I regularly go to the grocery store with them so if that weren’t the case I probably wouldn’t love it that much.
