Reported on 311. 4th st se. 7/1

Just reported this guy parked in the bike lane.

I’d love to have my voice heard on the inadequacy of 311 though. It often tells me that I’m on private property and always tries to force name/phone number. Dude, if you want me to get murdered, force me to dox myself.

Home Internet outage affecting savings?

I lost my home internet for three weeks. During that time, I had no information from the enlighten app, which was expected. But now that I’m back online, those weeks still show as 0 energy production.

Just wondering whether my panels really did or did not produce energy during that time and whether the energy company will know that and my energy bill will be normal ish with my regular reduction in energy costs.

Or, is Pepco completely unaware and will my energy bill skyrocket because there is no offset from solar?

Anyone know what I should expect? Thanks!

Semiquincentennial - Bicentennial - Centenial artifacts

Another reddit post made me remember that I've had my grandmother's collection (from her grandmother) of Centennial glass. I just got the pieces out of my "grandma shelf" so I thought I would share them here. The newspaper article is dated 10/15/72 (in grandma's handwriting).

If you have anything commemorating a prior anniversary please share here!

What should I use on these legs to avoid denting floors?

I have this bench that I love but the hairpin legs come to a point with a small tip with hard plastic screw-in tips. When on hardwood, the weight of one or two people and the plastic tips put dents in the floors. I currently have ugly silicone cups with cork bottoms and still have it on a rug.

Are there different options for what to screw into the bottoms of these legs that will protect my floors? I really want to use this bench at a table, which means a lot of moving of the bench, and multiple people on it.

Thanks for any advice

Georgia National Guardsman safely de-escalates armed confrontation

Does anybody know where “Navy Yard South” is?
Or South Place SE?

Here’s a clip from the article.
When an agitated man wielding a hammer and chains began chasing a mother and her young child through the streets of Southeast Washington, a Georgia National Guard Soldier’s civilian police training and teamwork kicked in just in time to prevent a possible tragedy.
On May 22, 2026 at approximately 11 a.m., the team patrolling Navy Yard South was contacted by the Navy Yard Metro team about a man who was making threats and wielding a hammer and told the patrolling team to be on the lookout. A few moments later, a suspect was spotted.
“We observed him near the intersection of South Place SE and Hill Street,” said U.S. Army Spc. Rayshaun Clark, a military police officer with the Georgia National Guard who is assigned to the Joint Task Force-District of Columbia supporting the DC Safe and Beautiful mission. “He had the hammer, but also had chains wrapped around his hands. He was pacing back and forth and talking to himself.”

What bit me and pooped in my bed?

Last night I had 5-6 bug bites on my torso. Today I noticed a few more on my legs.

These were freshly washed sheets yesterday.

Tonight I threw all the sheets back to make sure nothing was hiding in there and I found this. Is that poop??💩. It’s about half a centimeter long.

How do I fix this chipped stain wood cabinet?

These cabinets are meant to be wood with a stain. So why is the finish chipping off? And how do I fix them (the easiest way). I’ve already tried those marker pens w furniture paint but they do t really work on these. The paint either just wears off again or it doesn’t really take. Are these even wood?

I wish there were a bounty for sending in License Plate covers on cars

I would report every single one of these cars with plate covers, especially the ones like this with multiple speeding tickets over 15mph.
