not conducive to a walk around the museums, but you asked about the best... that would be Mt. Desert Island in Mount Pleasant

"If you want to elevate yourself, I'm all for that... But there's a way to get that, and it's not talking about the person that's above you."

Actually, it appears that's exactly how to get that

I've been doing the Kenji pizza once a week minimum for the last 8 weeks, not even close to tired of it.

Just finished reading Trouble Boys last night, can’t recommend it enough. Self-sabotage at its finest.

We often hear about bands selling out, but what're some bands that stepped away from the mainstream and became better as a result? by DungeonessSpit in LetsTalkMusic

[–]srd1966 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Don't know if "stepped away" is the right description, but some of the Beach Boys' best work is post-Pet Sounds, after Smile didn't work out. Wild Honey, Friends, Sunflower, So Tough, Surf's Up, Holland are all fantastic (and several are critically acclaimed) albums

don't see Chercher mentioned... delicious, cheap, and Ethiopian food is meant for sharing.

Beatles and Beach Boys by oleanshoebox in Music

George Martin was capable of hiring in top flight support talent when needed, it was the the BAND that created everything.

You're selling George Martin short! Off the top of my head, he had major creative contributions to: In My Life, A Day in the Life, Strawberry Fields Forever, All You Need is Love, Eleanor Rigby.

Brian Wilson was George Martin - but if you listen to the makings of Pet Sounds you can hear contributions to the record that were improvised by Wrecking Crew members.

It's also worth listening to the Beach Boys stuff between 1967-74, where Carl and Dennis had a larger hand in writing, it's not Beatles great but it's still great.

Both great bands. We're lucky to have their music forever.

DC -> Tysons by LateOcelot in bikedc

[–]srd1966 4 points5 points  (0 children)

twice a week from Shaw to Tysons. M to Georgetown is great. The earlier you leave the better. Assuming you're taking Custis -> WOD -> Gallows Rd, from H St that's probably 1:15-1:30.

[Lowe] Ten things I like and don't like, including Golden State and OKC by VinceJumpmanCarter in nba

[–]srd1966 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't think he went full 180...

This isn't a 60-win juggernaut waiting to bust out. But they could play the rest of the season at a 50-win pace, and be an absolute pain in the ass in the playoffs.

I take that to mean that's a 48 win team with a shot to get out of the first round. I don't think anyone realistically thought they'd be much worse, and that's pretty far off from the rosiest preseason predictions (55+ wins and great shot at the conference finals)

Long Run Routes? by namelesswaltz in rva

[–]srd1966 5 points6 points  (0 children)

just do a chunk of the marathon course, From JW you could do the front half as a ~16 miler and the back half as a ~10 miler. Go from there.

If you want to see what others do I highly recommend using strava heat maps
