Nope. We only eat roasted eagles, petroleum and petroleum byproducts, and FREEDOM!!!
Seriously though, we eat everything.

I've been known to eat naked bread. And naked vegetables.

> This is the number of people between the ages of 18 and 24 moving into the city from a different state.
I'm guessing this is the reason, since someone who grew up in Bethesda or Fairfax is getting counted whereas someone who grew up in Evanston or Long Island and moves to Chicago or NYC isn't.

He’s representing himself and in addition to what this article details, his court complaint dips pretty far into anti-vax conspiracies which he also said he faced retaliation for. Probably tells you most of what you need to know about him.

Yes americans eat vegetables. Most americans do not just eat slices of bread alone. We may eat rolls of bread at dinner though, but usually with butter

There's a floor plan requirement, too, where at least half of the seats in an establishment must be at tables or booths, rather than at the bar. So there aren't the traditional narrow bars like in most cities, where you walk in and it's a few high tops plus the bar itself.
Throw in the food requirement (and more importantly, the requirement that the kitchen always be serving full entrees while alcohol is being served), and you basically don't have bars in Virginia.

Upon a quick read, sounds like plaintiff law student fucked around by commenting on group chats and Zoom meetings and found out.
Edit: I just got to the anti-vax part. Damn this a long speaking complaint.
Edit 2: I cannot imagine suing classmates and the law school, being in the bottom half of the curve and losing an academic scholarship, and still going back to law school after this.

Reply to comment by Fert1eTurt1e in D.C. Tenants in Rent-Controlled Units Could See as Much as 8.9 Percent Increases by rennbrig
Rent control is not detrimental to builders, only to owners of the buildings who can continue to control high rent with inferior products. If their building is going to go into disrepair or the amenities are inferior they don’t deserve to be part of the current market. I know with current rent control, rent prices can rise higher than the current inflationary raises through capital investments and that should continue.

At least 100% agree with the second paragraph.

Not only that, they must also have a certain percentage of their floor space and seats in a traditional dining room setting.
So even if they're serving enough food to cover the revenue requirement, it'd be illegal to open a bar that just has a bar and barstools.
Plus they're not allowed to keep the bar open for drinks unless the kitchen is also open for food orders.

Is this where I post that John Denver's Country Roads was actually inspired by a drive through Montgomery County MD, and written in a friend's apartment on Q st NW in Georgetown?

Hope Rocket Bar stays for a while. Believe it’s the only dive bar left in the area. Been interested in Howl at the Moon and will have to try a night out there. Oddly, I miss Hooters. Never stepped in one, but it was one of those quirky places that gave the area character. Now it’s got the homeless and such.

Reply to comment by spince in What's your experience with Initiative 82? by UncleLongHair0
Ok.
Would you rather make $114 or $200 on a given 7 hour shift?
And, do you understand how the tip credit worked?
Healthcare as a bonus is wonderful - the thing is it could have been incorporated while keeping the tip credit in play.
Edit* it also depends on what the owner wants to do with the service fee: in many cases it is used for healthcare/ inflation, in some cases it is used to pay the kitchen higher wages, etc.. there isn’t any law stating what that money has to go towards.

It was the one in Georgetown that lost my title.
I started going to the RI Ave DMV sometime after 2010, and they got significantly better as the decade wore on.

How would limiting voting to just one choice change the data? Seems to me that allowing voters to choose multiple options, you're basically letting them say "I like these ones", instead of "This one is the best".

Denver is a terrible city. The draw is the outdoors, and frankly I think a lot of people move to Denver and find that that is overblown - it’s a plains city, you still have to drive to the mountains! Big controversial opinion here but I actually think the best city/outdoor activity ratio is actually Boston and its immediate suburbs like Cambridge.
I don’t live in Denver, I live in a much smaller city in Colorado now. I’d move back to DC in a heartbeat over moving to Denver proper, because the truth is that for a 9-5er most of the time you’re in the city anyway so that’s the place you really gotta like. I also would take DC type transient-ness (job based) over the Denver type (ski bros 🤮). Of course, DC is my home and I was the token local of the friend group there so I’m biased. Now I’m just another transplant.

There’s a place called reformation fitness that you might like. It’s reformer Pilates but they make it accessible for all fitness levels. One is on barracks row and there’s another location in Shaw.

The music venues in DC are pretty great. Lots of variety in genres and sizes.
Protip- buy tickets in-person the box offices to avoid "service fees"
