I would suggest getting the big ones. You will thank yourself later. Even with a small yard it will make it significantly easier.

No. Commuting in the dark just doesn't bother me. It's useless time so it may as well be dark. I'd rather have the sunlight during hours that I can be out recreating and enjoying it.

No but I lived somewhere that it's basically dark by 4. And it is indeed grim as hell. Give me evening sun.

Nearly all the correlation with those adverse effects is due to changing the time, not due to DST. The science points to picking one and leaving it alone. It doesn't favor one over the other.

The average American doesn't have a 15 minute walk to work commute. We're talking about country wide policy change.

Assuming you have to be in the office by the standard 8-9am and you have the average American commute of 30-45min, I don't follow how it would be possible.

Do you not have to be at work until 10a or after? How do you have time to do all that in sunlight even during standard time?

I couldn't care less when the sun rises. I'm in a windowless office before it does even with standard time. I'll take the extra evening sunlight.

Meh, I'd rather it be light when I'm walking my dog or biking after work.

Capitalism has a lot of benefits, but it also has a lot of dark sides. The exploitation of something as fundamental a human right as shelter for maximized profit is one of the dark negatives.

Reply to Day trip on VRE or Marc ideas? by imrollinv2
Not strictly Marc/VRE, but day/overnight trip to Richmond on Amtrak is always fun. Riverfront area is very walkable with lots of good food. Nice trails and pedestrian bridges to the islands in the James River. Tickets are as cheap a $15 each way and the trains run on Holidays.

Ah I see now. Good information to know. Much better than identity theft.

Ah. Well that's a quite critical piece of contextual info you left out. But good to know! Maybe OP doesn't have to worry then.

Contact OTA. They will help you. They are probably one of the most functional parts of the DC gov.

Her identity has been stolen. You are correct in contacting DC DHS to get the EBT account sorted, but that may take some time.
The more immediate concern is damage control for her credit and identity. You can't do anything quickly to close what they've opened, but you can stop them from opening more.
Freeze her credit online with the big 3 credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) and request a credit report from one of them (it's free). This report will tell you if, and what, other accounts have been opened using her identity so that you can contact the fraud department at each to get them shut down.
It will be a mess to clean up, but as I said the most important part at this point is to try to stop the bleeding as quickly as possible.

It may be counter intuitive, but it will actually reduce complexity. Wires or coils that get hot when you run power through them in the floor have a lot less that can go wrong than a full blown HVAC coolant loop system.

It's replacing the forced air heating on current trains as it's more efficient. So it's actually a core function and not a gimmicky add-on.

Threads like this remind me that people actually call airports things besides their ident codes.

Like emotional support groups for when all your holdings inevitably go to zero?
Blockchain as a tech is super cool and useful, crypto as a currency or even worse, an investment, is nothing but a scam. I suggest giving any of Coffeezilla's videos a watch.
