(But, y’know, only if there is a stiff drink within arms’ reach.)

Ask me how this is affecting news sites’ election night reporting programs!

Couldn’t find a spot to parallel park their Buick; migrated on to Fairfax.

One interesting note: it can take a few minutes longer than you’d think to purchase these. I’m told they keep them in a walk-in, that they only open so many times in a 15-ish minute window.

Maybe slightly annoying if you hit it at the wrong time — but respect for keeping the product consistent!

I feel a pang of guilt getting them when it’s just us, because homemade biscuit dough comes together easily enough (especially with a Cuisinart!) … but these folks do this for a living and it’s just so very good.

Huge fan!

They also recently added chicken & waffles (made with waffles biscuit dough) for any … scruffy, waffle-inclined locals that may be lurking out there.

And their frozen, ready-to-bake biscuits have been great when we’ve had guests stay over.

Yeah, this data beggars belief. No way is New York 68% car / 25% transit / 8% active.

I may look into this methodology more, but for U.S. cities these numbers feel awfully inaccurate.

Watch it, John — if we hadn’t applied for that last $19, two of those flexposts would’ve been 1/8 inch shorter than the rest.

@kaylahornbrook.bsky.social this is you too, right?

Strong +1 for alt text.

Thanks, Kyle.

Lol, this is the hyperlocal content I live for.

I am super intrigued by this. (Though I’ll confess that I’ve never been able to get behind the flavor of Tabasco — please excuse me if I substitute Crystal + cayenne instead.)

We should talk automation sometime! I’ve been tinkering around with Home Assistant for awhile, also on implausibly outdated Mac hardware. Would be curious what all you have planned.

(And before I forget, earnest thanks to you + Anh + Ryan for all the work this past week and change.)

Here’s to those who chase ALL their dreams.

The “Guys literally only want one thing” meme, crudely pasted to read “Marta literally only wants one thing and it’s perplexing as hell* “* but hilarious”

Unsure what this is about, but I’d love to hear the story whenever your travels next lead you through DRBC…

I like this. Again, I’d put the criteria @ those who live in the D.C. MSA versus those who moved elsewhere and want to keep tabs.

That is, don’t limit to current Alexandrians (w/ FFX included) — but keep it to all who [even aspirationally] want to keep a bead on what’s happening in the City Of.

(Note: I have no memory of making this)

I’ll have to find that recipe and make a few dozen gallons, so I can walk it over to our most Sendak-ian drawing looking neighbor.

Next time would you pls post your reply — either On Here or in more private channels — for those of us playing the home version of the game?

a man in a purple shirt is standing in a field with two other men . Alt: A printer (one that would have been commonplace in a late 1990s office) gets smashed to smithereens by three dweeby office workers. (A scene from the 1999 comedy film “Office Space.”)

I SWEAR TO GOD, reading about this gimmick makes me want to find the oldest or most useless microprocessor in my house and take out some Office Space printer-style vengeance.

It’s giving “guerrilla urban sledding content*”

* risky, almost certainly inadvisable, do not sue me

(Nah I know it’s not all going in the next 13 days or whatever I called — but I’m legitimately curious how close I am to right.)

Also, I don’t want to be that guy who has to borrow your mattock a third time. Thanks again though…

How vexing.

I did explicitly say the snow would be gone “within a five minute walk of any of our houses, but not counting the huge dumping sites in places like Daingerfield Island.”

(So I’m just hoping none of the local sickos live within five minutes of the area east of Swing’s.)

Listen, buddy. Four of our next eight days have highs of 54 degrees or higher, and as of this afternoon a third of my front yard is already peeking out.
