Thanks for the tip about the unique link. I guess I will have to check back with them to find out why I never got mine...

That was not my recent experience. I only did the intro to using the 3-D printers without any sort of broader lab overview whatsoever.

Not sure what you mean by touring "in peace," but DC gets hordes of tourists all summer long, regardless of any specific events.

They're open, but you have to do a 1.5-hour intro class first, and there aren't any on the schedule. You are then limited to two four-hour blocks per month, although the FabLab website does not seem to offer any option to actually schedule those.

Arlington Public Library will print it for you for the cost of the filament (PLA @ 5¢/gram) but your job goes in a queue with all the other requests they have pending.

> The police did not have their body cameras on.

Where did you get this nonsense from? The video that's about to be released is from their body cameras.

I just saw the game is at 4:00, so if you aren't already eating, you likely don't have time before the game...

Normally I'd recommend just grabbing seats at the bar at any of the José Andrés restaurants in the neighborhood - Jaleo next to Matchbox, Oyamel and China Chilcano around the corner on 7th, Zaytinya over on 9th - but I think they may all have special set menus for New Year's Eve.

The Chinese restaurants in Chinatown are known for being pretty mediocre, but at least there are a lot of them. I have also enjoyed Absolute Thai over on 5th in the past, but haven't been there in a while.

Even more casual are the options on 7th between G and H. I've heard good things about Eat Brgz - both the burgers and the bar - but haven't been yet myself.

There are dozens of restaurants within a few blocks at varying price points. We'd need more info about your preferences and party size to make anything other than random suggestions.

That is most definitely not indoors.

> "DCPS takes this incident very seriously, and our teams will do a thorough review of our transportation vendors to ensure that student safety is always prioritized."

More like DCPS contracts with companies that are shady as shit, probably because they're the low bidders. [And/or have the right connection$, ofc.]

I don't think it's necessary to have a child in DCPS to find this situation absolutely outrageous. There's no excuse for this kind of blatant disregard for the safety of the kids and everyone else on the road.
