FWIW, the $450/$550 sticker shock is offset by the annual $300 travel credit that Chase applies to your account automatically as you incur travel-related spending over the course of the year (until you reach the $300 limit). in my case they include things like parking meters and Uber/Lyft for the purposes of the…

the movie overall was kinda "meh" for me - but if they made an entire movie that was basically like the Cybertron battle that opened the movie they could have all of my moneys

“except for using non bank ATMs which they all do”

this is not quite true anymore. a number of online banks offer completely fee-free ATM usage. I have a Charles Schwab online checking account that does not charge any ATM fees whatsoever and that also reimburses (on a monthly basis) any ATM fees that you get charged by…

i live in Tenleytown - 90%+ of the bars I've been to in DC have at least one cheap domestic beer from the big brewers. including all the bars around my old office at 16th & L when I worked down that way. 

hell, Frank Miller is writing a Superman book *right now*

fuck I wish I was young again 

will be curious to hear your thoughts on the infotainment system. i was deciding between a Highlander and Pilot last year, ended up going with the Honda for a couple of reasons, one of which was standard Android Auto on the Pilot vs. horrible online reviews for Toyota’s Entune system.

it’s certainly illegal to inquire about these things during a job interview, but nothing illegal about talking about it in the office. i work for one of the major multinational “Big Pharma” companies - corporate culture on the whole here is very family-friendly, and i’m particularly fortunate that my team and manager…

“including one to a deep cut for those not familiar with modern Marvel comics”

man, I am right there with you. what an amazing accomplishment. 

Tenleytown resident here - thanks so much for posting this. i know of the National Shrine of course but had never really thought to pay a visit before reading your comment.

parent of a 3.5-year-old + a 6-month-old - this is great. thanks for posting it.

O-R-I-O-L-E-S!
Magic! Magic! Magic! Magic!

yeah, i’m just enjoying this time before reality sets in. given the overall state of the major league roster + farm system, and where Elias is in terms of rebuilding team operations around analytics, international players, etc, i don’t think it would have made much sense for them to go after a 31 y/o free agent…

forget the girls, i want to know more about what’s going on with Jonni Row

O’s fan living in DC - other than the hassle of driving up to BMore i’ll take the O’s ballpark experience over the Nats any day of the week. metro access is the only advantage the Nats have over the O’s for me.

i’m a 41-year-old O’s fan from Baltimore, and I couldn’t agree with this more. I’ve always had a soft spot for the Mariners despite having never been to Seattle or having any connection to the city - and it’s absolutely because of those great early 2000's teams

O’s fan here - absolutely 100% agree with you

the fact that Breshad Perriman is getting paid $4M to play football is a powerful argument for a 70% top marginal income tax rate.

Leonsis doesn’t own the Nats - that’s the Lerner family.
