The downtown air and space is 1/2 open, but you need tickets to get in. The tickets are free but just get them in advance. The 2nd half is still under renovation. The Udvr hazy air and space, in Chantilly is fully open and had the big stuff like the SR71, space shuttle and F35.

Agreed. Let’s let MTG and Boebert settle their feud this way as a trial run

Reply to comment by roflgoat in Gen Z flocking to these big cities as other generations flee (DC is #1) by FreemanCantJump
I don't disagree, general intl cuisine has excellent coverage. Like I said I am pleased with the traditional French options which is uncommonly good. I actively dislike the new high end dining scene in DC, as I think you can get away with quite a lot of high concept low quality with these customers here.
That said with japanese in particular I am deeply frustrated by the continual failure to maintain any standards or quality with places like dakaiya completely falling apart (change to frozen gyoza and dishwater for broth). This i believe is due to both a lack of genuine pride in their craft by ownership and the vast majority of diners having no standards. The constant stream new Asian fusion garbage and simulated Japanese cuisine is truly remarkable.
I need to try menya hosaki. Thanks for the tip.

It's ridiculously sensationalized to report it as such when we're talking about going from 25 murders to 35. That's like at the beginning of the baseball season, some players will have 1.000 and look like gods amongst men or .000 batting averages and look like AAA rejects. The stats aren't wrong, they're just lacking meaningful context.

So then how are you substantiating the local policies being bad?

Bring back dueling and let people take their twitter feuds to an open field and settle it with sabers. I'd rather not have twitter irl next to me when I'm getting scammed out of appetizers by my tinder date.

She literally posted video to her own fucking YouTube channel of her verbally accosting David Hogg out on the street when he was here for the March For Our Lives.
She lives and breathes hypocrisy, but it's all performative so she doesn't particularly care.

Maybe if people don’t report it, it’ll just go away.

No. I am saying that national trends still don't excuse bad local policies.

Can we at least get the tag info so we can find out how many outstanding parking tickets they owe?!
Must be your first time here, OP /s

About $400 a month, just me. Almost exclusively shopping at TJs. I do like fresh produce, but very limited meats. Food is hella expensive here

Let me tell you about the 70s! In my brain. The 70s will always be about 30 years ago until I do the math.

Reply to How do you find home contractors? by Phuntzilla
Word of mouth is best, but the most established and reliable general contractors with an actual company and office, are also going to be the most expensive.
You can also keep an eye out for signs on jobs in your neighborhood, then get their contact info and speak with them.
The reputation thing is tough. Most homeowners end up not liking their contractor very much even if they ultimately did a great job :(

Second this! I will usually buy a pack of 8 or so bone-in chicken thighs from Giants for about $9-$11 and individually freeze each chicken thigh in sandwich bags. It can be a bit time consuming but it has saved me a ton of money and allows me to reduce food waste.
