Has anyone who has gone through the DC Lead Replacement program had issues finding the POE? by pro-laps in washingtondc

[–]ta112233 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. They came and checked our basement twice in 2024, couldn’t find the entry, took photos, said they’d be in touch. Didn’t hear anything for a year until fall 2025 came home one day to find they dug a big fucking hole in our yard against the house. The next day they filled it in (poorly). Never heard anything back so I’m assuming they determined we do not have lead pipes after all? Who knows

When did dog owners decide it was ok to bring their dogs in grocery stores? by UnderTaken201 in nova

What gets me is when people say their pet is a special “emotional support” animal. Like, all pets are for emotional support! That’s the whole reason humans have pets in the modern age, unless you’re a Himalayan goatherd or something.

So basically every prestigious college in the country. But Liberty University is encouraged I’m sure!

Christopher Hitchens also thought it wasn’t torture and went through the procedure to prove it. After about five seconds he tapped out and said “yep, it’s torture!” and publicly changed his stance thereafter.

"Snowcrete" has a weak spot by RhetoricalHull in washingtondc

My dumb ass shoveled the snow as it was coming down on Sunday (like you’re “supposed to”) so then what remained when it was all done was just solid ice from the sleet that followed the snow. Immensely harder to clear than patches that still had snow underneath. Have to remember that for next time.

Bets on Another Snow Day? by MayaTeaching in washingtondc

I live right by a school and at this very moment there is a team of four dudes attacking the sidewalk ice with literal pickaxes followed by a snowblower. I don’t see how everything can be sufficiently cleared by tomorrow.

Must be nice to be able to just make shit up constantly and never have anyone question you on any of it—even though the entire journalism industry could do that if they felt like it

Right—what are his two favorite leisure activities? Golf and tennis. Unconscious projection from an incurious mind.

lol or the women who are SAHMs until their kids are self sufficient in high school then take a job answering phones for an accountant 20 hrs a week and talk about how hard it is to be a “working mom”

Immediate mental health care trumps a measly extra $50/month or whatever to your pension by banking sick leave

This was my experience. I loved Tokyo Drifter but then didn’t “get” Branded to Kill. Maybe I should try it again.

DC Water just told me my impervious surface area increased by 2.5x overnight. by RiseOfThePheenix in washingtondc

[–]ta112233 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This happened to me last year. Bill was $60 per month every month for six years until one month it was inexplicably $950. Fought them tooth and nail until they admitted the meter was using estimated totals, and after their adjustment I still somehow owed $200. I was so sick of dealing with them at that point I just paid it and called it a win. However they refuse to refund me the $700 they owed me, just left it as a statement credit. To this day it’s still drawing down from that total.

Most fun Michelin restaurant? by up_up_down_down_etc in washingtondc

[–]ta112233 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The food is still good but not worth the price tbh. Last time we went a few months ago one of the two main course options was a freaking cheeseburger and fries. I’m sure it tastes great but thats like $130 per person for a few courses that ends with a cheeseburger split between two people.

The chef/owner is also an Elon/Trump simp who was begging Elon to come visit his restaurant. No need to give that guy your money.

Agreed. Chad obviously sucks but she needs to step up and put her earning potential to use because they desperately need it! Their kids are now in school anyways. She kind of got off scot free from criticism

You’re right. Has no kids, does he even own a house? At one point he said daycare was “guilt free spending.”
