Thoughts on this old NoVA Mag Best Pho poll?

Anyone seen this old poll from Nothern Virginia Magazine? And do people like Pho Hot on here? I haven't seen many posts about it

Ambrosia - Chinatown DC

Went here on u/ltsmemang2157 recommendation. Got the BBH since I had pho earlier in the week. Very good broth and excellent beef quality, with one short rib bone and a few slices of eye round, meatball and shank. No blood sausage but I don’t mind. Noodles were a lil overcooked and the summer rolls were pretty standard. Overall very happy with it but would skip the rolls next time.

Pho 75 - Arlington

Wife is under the weather which always means Pho 75. Broth was a little blander than usual but still good!

Pho 75 - Arlington

Broth was very good last night, and they gave my wife extra noodles on accident. I suspect they’ve had a new beef supplier for a little bit, their fattier cuts like brisket and tendon have been higher quality imo

How to keep playing after Victory video Mac CTD

I'm currently playing the Byzantine Empire and I'm one province away from winning, however, every time I capture the last province needed, the victory video pops up and causes a CTD (which is a known issue on the Mac port). What can I do to skip the video so it doesn't crash so I can keep playing?

Pho 75 - Arlington

Broth was decent but not their best, disappointing for Pho 75 but still good. Must have just been an off night

Anyone recognize this school tie?

My grandfather-in-law passed away a couple of years ago and left me this tie. No clue what school it’s from, he went to Andover but I don’t believe this tie is from there, the colors and crest don’t match.

Playing this game makes me realize how impressive Manning’ 2013 season was

My QB after his best season. After 16 games I posted 54 tds, one shy of his record

This came to me in a high dream - spaghetti alla nerano topped with fried squash flowers and Parmesan saffron cream

I came up with this after a couple of edibles, this pasta idea was the only thing I remember from that night

Pho 75 - Arlington

Broth was especially good tonight, even compared to their usually excellent broth. They also gave me a ton of fatty beef slices, which I was very happy about.

My wife pretty much refused to go anywhere else ever since Golden Cow closed their Falls Church location

Any way to get this bike lane blocking Zipcar moved?

There’s a zipcar parked in the bike line on Columbia and 20th and the last user decided to park it directly in the bike lane rather than in the parking spot. Anyone way to get moved? It’s been parked that way for a couple of days now

Anyone recognize this tweed fabric from this Edward Sexton suit?

Just picked up a Edward Sexton suit from TheRealReal and it has a fascinating fabric with multicolored flecks, I've seen lots of interesting multicolored tweeds but nothing like this one.

Sushi Tsumugi in Shinjuku

This place was recommended by a friend and was close to our hotel in Shinjuku. Probably the best sushi meat I’ve had and the lunch special pictured here was only 4,000 yen a person

Got lucky on TRR and picked these up for $250

Got these on The Real Real for $250 and they seem legit and fit great. Anything I should note for taking care of them? They’re my first pair of actually nice shoes

EU261 rules around weather delay?

My wife and I recently flew UA127 (FCO–IAD, July 6, 2026). Departure was delayed from 3:20pm to 6:19pm due to a late-arriving inbound aircraft (rotation issue). At the gate, boarding was further delayed because the catering truck got into a collision, requiring meal replacement. Original scheduled arrival was 7:40pm; we landed and had an extended tarmac hold due to a lightning storm before reaching the gate, pushing our total arrival delay past 3 hours to 4 hours and 32 minutes. We were definitely going to miss the 3 hour window, but with the weather, it pushed it further.

Filed an EU261 claim directly with United citing the arrival delay. They denied it, attributing the entire disruption to “inclement weather” as an extraordinary circumstance — without addressing that the delay was already close to 3 hours from the rotation delay and catering incident alone, before weather ever factored in. Offered a $100 e-certificate each as a goodwill gesture instead.

Is it worth trying to escalate, and has anyone else had a similar experience? Or do I just take the $100?

Cruciani & Bella: great tie store in Rome

Went after it was suggested in the Permanent Style article about Rome. Fantastic ties using either Roman or British fabrics. Some great repp and critter ties but I ended up getting middle tan one and brown plaid one in the last photo.

There’s also a defects rack on photo 3, the ties have small to tiny imperfections and are only €50 each. Highly recommend to anyone here in Rome.
