Atomic Billiards definitely has a divey vibe and is great, imo, but I think Nanny O'Briens is the more popular spot.

I would say the TSA lines and customs is where I’d have a bit of concern on both legs. Especially the shorter leg. Yes, the actual trip between airports is not a big deal, but it’s the lines at both airports between TSA and customs that can be a pain in the ass. I’d move quite swiftly to get in line and wait. Don’t knock down any old ladies tho lol. If it’s a week day, you should be pretty ok. If it’s a weekend, you could be waiting quite some time.

You need a mesh network.
I had to get one for 1000 square feet because my walls and the closet doors between rooms destroy wifi signals (glass plus dense lath and plaster = bad signal strength).
When you decide where to put them, think of each as having a circle and each circle needs to overlap heavily.
I have my satellite only around 15-20 feet from the main hub because of the objects and walls in the way. Some mesh setups will show you the signal strength of the satellites and you want those strong. Generally speaker direct line of sight can be further apart but the more “stuff” between two points the closer they will need to be.

The back trip is very tight because customs in IAD is hell and may take 2+ hours.

The water crisis in the west is self inflicted. We really don’t need almond farms in California. In fact we could get rid of agriculture in the west and still be perfectly fine. In California agriculture accounts for 80% of water use.

I think you are confusing cops to the prosecutors. Police make arrests and build cases. The prosecutors and judges let the criminals walk.

Colleges will accept just about anyone who will pay them. Like 90% of the stupid kids in dc will get into colleges. College graduation rates are the key statistic, of these dumb kids that get accepted maybe like 10% actually graduate college.

Sure, but that has nothing to do with it taking long to get through global entry vs the regular line, which is what I thought the above comment was about … maybe it was early and I misread

You've never sat in the people mover for a long time?

Lmao maybe because they can't stop all the theft that happens everyday. Even with all the camera in DC, car break ins are super common. And the dumb motorcyclist gang that doesn't follow traffic laws pass by police all the time.

Good point. However, that leaves OP back at square one. How would OP find out about a protest they care about?

There used to be a shuttle that would transfer people to the other local airports. A few years ago I took it from IAD to BWI.

Catch the metro train. Kills time and cheaper than uber

There’s also a bud from the Rosalyn metro that goes directly to Dulles. It takes metro card as well

Exactly. They admit to being travel anxious and then decide to book separate itineraries at different airports in the same day…?

Damn that twitter clip is wild. Seems like it would be very easy to give her the data if they are actually tracking it. Maybe they aren't? Or have very old technology?
