Yep! Of course if a family member WANTS to pick me up or drop off I probably wouldn’t say no but like, 45-60min in the car or 50-60min on the train depending where you get on… it’s really a great new option. And, I feel like the occasional Metro delay is not as often as rush hour traffic or other driving shenanigans

Yeah, if you can bear the trip distance it’s great. And of course, a drive from capital south is probably around an hour or more, so it’s not that much longer at the end of the day.

I don’t think it’s bad per se but I’ve seen other cards that had nicely edited photos (2018/2019 I think?), and this one was just a super intense HDR. Maybe I’m picky because I’m into photography but cherry blossom cards are among the cooler ones Metro puts out each year, so I thought they’d have something better imo.

Yeah, the disappointment is because metro has done better in the past and totally could partner with local artists or at least get a good photograph if that want to go that route…

didn't the AUSA for DC say recently that the reason most cases get dismissed is because of 1) DC's unaccredited crime lab; 2) bad/unconstitutional police work that's being captured on body cams, among other issues?

Obviously it's a complicated issue, but at the end of the day, you have to be able to prove a crime happened in court...

So the police willfully aren’t doing their job? Why do we need more then?

Are you really driving on the beltway if you’re not doing 75+ in the left lane and cutting across four lanes to your exit 1/10 of a mile before the off ramp?

I think it's just because the stations, past east falls church (?) are just really far apart. There's the cluster around Tysons, and then it's a 5-10min ride to the next one, and 3-5 min between each one after to the airport.

Does the silver line slow down or is it just insanely far between stations? Every time I’m on 66 or the Dulles toll road those metro trains are going at least 50-6mph

here you go! make sure that if you use rental insurance as proof of address, you use the policy statement/summary, and NOT a bill. Source: I had to argue with the DMV that technically if my renter's insurance bill is mailed to my address, which was my declared address and present on my lease, bank statement, W2, etc, it COULD be for another property. I eventually got the right document but it's always an adventure with them.

Glad I'm not the only one who was confused when trying to book overnight parking for family... I guess 11:55pm-7am are the safe hours and no one will get tickets then?

Do you intend to work at like, big law firms? I don’t know for sure, but most big law firms want legal interns or law clerks while they’re in law school, so not undergrads.

To be honest, everything in DC is insanely competitive especially for summer internships because people come to DC in the summer JUST to intern here. Maybe try applying for legal/non legal (but in legal setting) internships at non profits during the semester?

I mean, if you are DD and have a drink or two at the beginning of the night but don’t drink for hours later till you leave, you probably are okay to drive.

Yes, it was certainly worse. I went in 2017 and 2018 and even the handful of photos I have are way better than anything I saw. My girlfriend and I didn’t even walk all the way up from the Rock Creek Park entrance, we stopped maybe halfway to Connecticut Ave because there was barely any lights and of course nothing else to see.

What do you mean, how? Designate a DD if going out with friends, otherwise, Uber/Lyft/Taxi/Metro or stay the night if you’re with family somewhere?

Well, upper 14th St is Ward 4, and Janeese Lewis George has generally been pretty receptive to traffic safety issues and pushing DDOT to resolve them (as best she canh).

I think the GM said on twitter they’ll have them at new stations in limited quantities (<20,000 or something like that).

I mean if you wanna endorse high speed chases in densely populated neighborhoods, go for it. Just explaining to you the reason about why MPD doesn’t chase under most circumstances…

The reason to “let them get away with it” is exactly that, and it doesn’t endorse the cause either. As I said, chasing dirt bikes through the city would almost certainly result in injuries/deaths of bystanders (BECAUSE of the chase), and, there’s like a less than 1% chance that anyone actually gets caught because the maze of alleys and streets that DC is made up of.

Personally, I’d prefer to enjoy the show from my balcony every now and live my life.

Yes because chasing a dirt bike at 30+ mph in cop car through populated city streets is almost guaranteed to cause an accident or run more people over. Often times it’s better to just let them have fun and ride around, as chasing leads to more harm than good. On the same note, they would never catch them.
