I live in NW DC now and spent several years on the MD side about 500m from the DC border. I love it here. I am absolutely uninterested in politics and have no desire to work in defense and there is still so much to do around here, both recr

normal cycling shoes have a cleat you lock into the pedal with that allow very little movement. sometimes just a few mm of position change is all it takes to relieve a nagging ache and im guessing he found it easier to get comfortable with

considering zwift has over 2.5 million users, and a billion dollar valuation, I think the market is larger than you think. I personally know dozens of people who use zwift nearly everyday (although my friend groups skews heavily towards cy

cool anecdote about the team sessions. I have done a few team races and they are a ton of fun with friends. my one gripe with sessions is that its very... permanent. like if you join with the wrong car or wrong team, you cant back out and

The only issue with F1 in iracing is that its almost too realistic. unless you spend hours tweaking the setup and really know what you are doing, the car will be difficult to drive and significantly slower than anyone else in the F1 leagues

I don't have any sources but anecdotally I would say that one of my packages has a status of "delayed" It arrived in my state, about a 45 minute drive from me on Sunday, and it is not expected to arrive until Friday. presuma

I was obsessed with RCT2 in elementary school. My tastes in video games have changed over the years and I am no longer sucked into the game as I was back then, but I did have a few weeks where I played a ton of OpenRCT2 with a friend - the

I never played any of the silent hills. I played resident evil 4 and 5 years ago, and recently played resident evil 7 - which i felt had a lot more horror elements then emphasis on shooting/exploding enemies like 4 and 5 did. I REALLY

Judging by yesterday’s race, the real key is just having your car finish the race (said in jest but there were nine DNFs in yesterday’s Austria Grand Prix and close to having a few more with Mercedes gearbox issues). There is a ton of cool

I only go to my homepage which contains about 20 subs I actually care about - and nothing related to news/politics etc. Once I stopped going on r/popular or r/all my mood when using the site improved drastically

There are plenty of opportunities already for these people. It's just hard to force yourself to go to them. This is an incredibly optimistic view, it is far too easy to become complacent and not leave your house. Especially for youn
