Reply to comment by John_Mason in METRO should make an exception and run on regular weekday hours during marathons. by Knock_turnal
I don’t know if things have changed, but Metro used to charge $100K per hour to extend service for special events. Of course, that shitstain Mark Lerner didn’t want to come out of pocket to pay it.

The organizers of the marathon should pay the extra cost of running more frequent trains, like the organizers of other events do.

The Metro rides when you’re above ground are the best. I still feel like a little kid riding a train.

Mandalay is open for business again! They had some kind of an issue with the building they were remodeling on Georgia Ave that they were supposed to move into, so they re-opened the Silver Spring location.

The books are great, but they are very different. I enjoyed them immensely.

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.

That’s a relatively recent development…LOL
The DMV was terrible for quite a few years after I moved here. They lost a copy of my car title when I paid it off, which caused a months-long stand-off between the finance company and the DMV.

Thank Molly Ivins for that term. That’s how she referred to the younger George Bush (W).

Reply to Question geared towards longtime DC residents. by nfw22
Was here for a year during the first term of the Shrub administration, and moved back towards the end of it. DC has always been a bit cyclical depending on who inhabited the White House. One restauranteur who’s had multiple places in DC told me that business was better during the Obama and Clinton administrations than when any Republican was in office.
Trump’s malignant brand of conservatism did change DC. In prior administrations, people could occasionally work in a bipartisan fashion. These America First MAGAts are an entirely different breed, and I shudder to think what will happen if we get Meatball Ron or any of his ilk in the White House.

Why in the fuck are you even here? People are offering lived experiences of being in DC, and you keep responding with Faux News talking points. You refused to go to Chicago and Detroit? Please, do us all a favor and stay out of all cities.

From the fucking article:
> My partner and I could always open a Family Sharing iCloud, or a joint account that connects our devices. If we did that, I would unlock an option to cancel notifications for Rosie’s AirTag. We currently have separate accounts, though, and aren’t interested in fully merging our clouds.

Then 1 of 2 things needs to happen. He needs to de-register it from his account, and she needs to register it, or they need to get a new fucking AirTag.

This is a nothingburger. She either needs to register the AirTag on her account or merge her account with her partner’s.

With a MoCo library card, you can get DC, Frederick, and PG County library cards. With a DC card (and maybe a MoCo one), you can get an Arlington County library card.

Reply to comment by jeffinRTP in Instacart answering fewer questions than ever about puzzling drop in shoppers' pay by KevZero
It's not. It's all a massive wealth redistribution scam. They run these services at a loss using venture money and promising unrealistic compensation while they build scale. When faced with the end of venture subsidization of whatever "*disruption*" they're providing, they squeeze everybody a little bit, but workers the most. They can't afford to alienate too many customers if they want to walk away from that sweet, sweet IPO money, and workers have less power than anyone involved in the value chain.

Reply to comment by unenlightenedgoblin in Anyone miss the old DC? by sg8910
I’d argue that someone who hasn’t seen it up close can’t really appreciate how bad it is for some people. Poor people in this area are relatively more affluent than those in many parts of the country. Parts of Alabama are seeing a resurgence of illnesses we largely eliminated through modern sanitation, and Mississippi’s largest city can’t keep the water flowing to its residents. People who haven’t been through those parts of the country, or Appalachia, or probably even some long-forgotten Rust Belt towns, haven’t experienced it. It’s a lot different when you have a poor (or poorly run) state with a ramshackle social safety net. A lot of people are poor here, but there are people living in desperate, abject poverty in other parts of the country…including some not far from here. It’s almost like we live in different countries than they do.

I don’t think you can link directly to the document. When I click the link, it takes me back to the search field. You might want to throw it in Google Drive or something and share that way.
Is there anything we can do? Call the USAO’s office?
If he’s attempting to vacate his guilty plea, how does he not go back on trial for those charges?
