When I lived in the DC area, I loved getting jobs that could be reached by metro. One job was right in downtown DC so you couldn’t drive even if you wanted to, because there was just no parking. Other jobs, I was not so lucky and had to drive out 66 and it was just miserable. This was before the Silver line, so maybe…

I’m not going to lie, Jalopnik membership not withstanding, I would rather an amateur auto shop than nosy religious zealot assholes any day. It really doesn’t matter what you are into, those are the kinds of people that make neighborhoods awful and negatively impact property values long-term.

Community typically grows…

This kind of chicanery takes considerably longer than their normal way of processing orders (regardless if “proper” establishments do it as a rule). If it was common, in the long run this kind of thing can eat into revenue because of the excess consumables (plastic tubs) and decrease in average orders/hour and would…

Which is great if you are in DC proper or in a serviced suburb. The problem with DC is that you have car-centric commuting in most of the surrounding suburban metropolitan area, which extends to Baltimore in the north, Fredericksburg, VA in the south, Frederick, MD in the west, and Annapolis/past Waldorf, MD in the…

Not really. I’m more curious about why anyone would try this method. Either just open your eyes to go get the object, or use goggles. You can’t use this method to actually retrieve anything as your hands are tied up. I get that opening your eyes underwater can irritate, but someone said “I don’t understand this” so I…

Not sure why you think this is being a troll. Do you understand what being a troll means?

Might even want to try looking through the water with those excellent sunglasses that are sitting right there on his head. They should reduce reflection as well. No need to put your face in the water.

I’m not sure, I guess it depends on the water clarity? I’ve always swam underwater with my eyes open. Sure, it’s clearer with goggles, but I can still make out shapes and some detail without.

You’re not supposed to be swimming with contacts in anyways...

If you’re putting your face into the water, why not just open your eyes underwater? You’ll still be able to see well enough and then you can just go ahead and swim down and get it.

Mine is not easy to get to, and costs money to replace of course

id be suspicious too.

“People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it. “

Straight road, summertime, clear day, going 30 mph, probably not. Night time, winding road, winter, going 50, yes.

Hey I’m witty according to him! lol I should have been quicker.

I’m no theologian, but can’t God just fix whatever is wrong with the plane if (and only if) people pray hard enough?

Yes, but... Did the pilot know it was the engine? Did they know which engine? If I knew it was an engine, but not which one, I would have some reservations on shutting one down (the good one), and then the bad one fails and now you’re gliding without power.

There are TOO witty christian jokes:

Cool, witty Atheist here. Umm . . . it would not have ever occurred to me to make a FSM joke here. I hardly see how it would be relevant.
