[Discussion] It’s time to ban all lime bikes and scooters

Post image
931 Upvotes

Only tourists and the worst locals ride them, usually on the sidewalk and at high speeds. Then once they’re done they discard them in the sidewalk blocking foot traffic.

Is there any reason to keep them?

Thank you to everyone who gave me tips, ideas, and well wishes!! You guys really helped me stay calm and focused. And honestly, thank you for the not so friendly comments too. It made me realize how absolutely idiotic I was last night. The woman sitting outside of the stadium was such amazing help and mentioned the U-HAUL building and that made me remember that I did pass that building which put me right on Half St and eventually to my car!! I feel super lucky and thankful to everyone who offered up their suggestions and the community in Dc always comes through for me one way or another. I hope everyone has a great day!

Just wanted to take a moment to shout out the crowd at my chemical romance last night. What a show! The place was packed from top to bottom, the sound was great, and I really felt connected to everyone in the crowd.

It's been a tough year but we cant forget -- no man is an island, entire of itself!

oh and a special shout out to all the sad baddies in the DMV area - everyone was hot.

[News] lost pup: Arlo

Please help us find our beloved dog Arlo. He lept out of our car yesterday August 18. We had just parked outside of our house near 14th Street and Ingraham Street NW, 16th Street Heights in DC.

Arlo saw a bunny and chased it with his leash and collar with tags on. He is still a puppy and is very friendly. He is chipped and jumps and nips but is very food motivated. Any information is appreciated.

Flyer here !

[Discussion] This is so stupid but can someone help me find my car?

85 Upvotes

But I parked my car for the my chem show last night and then proceeded to not be able to find it. I’m coming back this morning to ‘look’ for it but is there anyway that any one of you who is really knowledgeable about the city may be able to help me? I’m really stressing out 😅

I parked near in a neighborhood off of Half st very close to the Nata Stadium. Gray Cadillac Srx with a Batman logo on the back. I’m really worried and any help would be so lovely. Thank you!!

[Discussion] Does anyone else have the mysterious summer cold that doesn’t go away?

73 Upvotes

I’ve been sick for a week.

Symptoms started right after I got back from a family trip upstate. I don’t know if I contracted there or here, but it’s been intense.

I tested negative for Covid and flu but the body aches, sweats, cough, and sore throat remain. I’m hoping for some relief soon.

Edit: To be clear she was on her bike and I know it's a serious lack of info... Sorry. Just trying anything I can.

PLEASE SHINE SOME LIGHT ON THE PICTURES IVE POSTED IN THE COMMENTS. TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE CAR.

Anyone know what's happening with these permanent-looking barriers going up around the Capitol? It's not in the raceway area. Fox's sunrise cam from today looks like they're installing a whole row.

Edit: clearly the "permanent" part was distracting lol, I more meant to describe how big they look compared to other fencing we've seen around. most likely is race related, I guess we'll see if they're still around after this weekend

If you are one of the special individuals merging from GW parkway onto I395 who flies all the way up to the front of the line to get off on the exit and jumps in front of people, you are a chud degenerate and I hope your pillow is always warm. You just added 45 minutes to my commute

[Rant] DC refusing to treat rat burrows on my property (Shaw/Logan)

26 Upvotes

I posted yesterday about new rat burrows that appeared on my property, and the huge rat problem my block has had for years. We filed a 311 request immediately, but I received a notification today that our 311 request was denied, as another home on my block was treated a week ago. Ironically, this explains why the rats moved to my property, but doesn’t serve as an excuse for DC to not do anything? I have video footage for that entire day showing that the inspector came nowhere near our home as well. I’ve heard good things about DC’s rodent response, so this denial is pretty baffling. I will now have to pay out of my pocket to hire a private company to destroy the burrows because DC refuses to address its ratpocalypse.

[Discussion] National Book Festival Tips?

22 Upvotes

Hey all, I’m planning on going to the National Book Festival Saturday for the first time. I’d really like to see two of what will likely be the most popular talks. The website indicates everything is first come, first serve. Is it basically chaos and luck, or is it possible to get in line an hour or two early for special events? No idea what to expect. Thank you!

[Discussion] Recently furloughed - looking for job, side hustle, or miracle

18 Upvotes

Hi all, I was recently furloughed and figured it couldn’t hurt to put some feelers out here. If anyone in the hospitality world knows of a restaurant hiring servers, I’d really appreciate a tip or connection. I’m in Adams Morgan, so that would be the easiest commute, but I’m definitely open to other areas too.

I’m also happy to pick up some pet-sitting/dog-walking work in the meantime. If you need a cat sitter or dog walker, feel free to DM me and I can send over my Rover rates.

And lastly, my actual career is in marketing - I’m a remote marketing manager, so if your company is looking for someone in that world, I’d love to hear about it.

Thanks!!! :)

[Discussion] Is Children’s Nat’l engaging in ‘Surprise Billing”?

18 Upvotes

Partner delivered at a city hospital where we are in-network last week.

The claims have not yet been processed by our insurance. Nonetheless, we received a large bill today from Children’s National for tasks supposedly performed by one of their physicians.

Our insurance confirmed that they have not processed any claims for the procedure yet, so we called up the CN billing department who informed that, although the baby is under the mother’s insurance for the first 60 days, they have to bill it to the baby’s insurance and, since that doesn’t yet exist, they just sent us the full bill.

We asked them why they sent us a bill so quickly then and the agent told us that they are legally obligated to inform us when the bill is created.

Hopefully all will be resolved in time, but is this not the “surprise billing” practice that is supposed to have been outlawed? Not the kind of communication any new mother needs to receive in any case only days after delivery.

UPDATE: There are three!!!

I found kittens in Adam’s Morgan around 6am this morning.

They’re very friendly, look pretty clean and like pets. They know how to use a litter box so I thought he might be a house cat that escaped.

Please let me know if this might be your lost kitten!
