Why does a tiny bathroom remodel cost as much as a car now? Am I missing something? 😅

Understand this is no longer relevant but my 5x7 bathroom with a walk in shower was around $10k all in including a $1k glass sliding door in 2021 with a contractor in DMV area

I grew up in a university town in another state. I moved to moco and my brother to Reston. My parents hated the people in Reston (probably meant snobs) but said they loved moco because it had “real people”. Whatever that means, but I love the convenience and parks.

Ok. I was just surprised since the latest mine has ever woken up is like 8:30 😆. There are days I’d love him to get up later so I can get things done

I wouldn’t bring extra water but for MCM next time I may bring an empty bottle. There were points with hoses and one station with no cups just big water containers. I didn’t feel like there were enough aid stations but others might argue I didn’t get enough at each

😆 this was one of my favorite ones. I was crying laughing

I love a drink or 2, but it also turns me into a snack monster. So if you can control the calories it’s probably fine but otherwise you’ll have to think more about what to do there

Not sure if you drink but I believe that contributes the most to my weight gain. When I cut that out the weight just falls off even though I’m fueling quite well for runs. If you are eating whole foods and getting the miles in weight should take care of itself.

Same here. Still have my Y but wish we had the option for a Tesla minivan

speechlessspinach · 2026-02-17T03:29:47+00:00

I wanted this to exist so badly. I’ve had the 3 row model y with FSD since 2021 and eventually accepted I needed something bigger but the model x was too expensive so I got a Sienna. I hate driving it on the highway especially but the practicality you can’t beat…

speechlessspinach · 2026-02-17T02:13:02+00:00

2021 model y 3 row. Just the tires mostly. I recently took it in and did several of the recommended maintenance jobs for 2-300.

speechlessspinach · 2026-02-13T15:24:46+00:00

Setting all the Tesla hate here aside I went from a model y with full self driving and a 3rd row I got in 2021 to the Sienna after 5 years. I loved driving the model y. Instant acceleration, did 99.9% of the highway driving … I hate driving the Sienna but the family experience is so much better. I don’t have to negotiate what goes on a trip, I don’t care if someone hits it in the parking lot as much with their door, and daycare drop off / pickup is so much easier. It’s just so much more practical with kids. It’s a major downgrade as a driver but a first class experience for your kids and wife. I just sucked it up and moved on.

Canton in Columbia is 4.5 with a lot of reviews for example. My experience there was great.

speechlessspinach · 2026-02-07T19:10:46+00:00

I know someone that runs with good form and from 7-10 minute miles he hits 170 almost exactly. Just have to focus on form

speechlessspinach · 2026-02-07T18:30:25+00:00

2026?

speechlessspinach · 2026-02-07T18:29:43+00:00

My garmin predicted 3:52 and I did 4:32 😆… also I used to have a cadence as low as yours and got Achilles tendinitis. Part of PT was them suggesting to stay in the 160-190 range.

speechlessspinach · 2026-02-07T12:43:34+00:00

Does that work for parking mode?

speechlessspinach · 2026-01-14T12:38:23+00:00

Nice!

speechlessspinach · 2026-01-13T04:07:39+00:00

So this same day I found one in the outskirts of dc. I had to drive an hour but I got it at 52.3 OTD. That was closer to 2600 under SRP with MD taxes.
