Reply to comment by ShimbyHimbo in D.C. Tenants in Rent-Controlled Units Could See as Much as 8.9 Percent Increases by rennbrig
Sure. Whatever. I wasn't married to 35 years. I was advocating changing from 1975.

I'm advocating for something based on the age of the unit instead of a hard date. 35 years is a suggestion to not be too disruptive when experimenting.

It currently only applies to units built before 1976.

I think it would be nice to gradually expand that date, at least on an experimental basis. Maybe set it at 35 years or something.

Reply to comment by MonsterRider80 in TIL Tolkien assisted on the Oxford Dictionary's first edition, focused on 'W' words waggle to warlock. He "learned more in those two years than in any other"; and certain etymologies continued to puzzle him for years, with many pages of notes written later on 'walrus' for a lecture at Leeds by PianoCharged
It likely derives from a name of a Celtic tribe and was generalized first to Celtic Latin speaker and then to foreigner.

Reply to Mandatory Tip for Take-Out? by DCcatdad09
I usually tip for takeout because typically, a server has to sacrifice tables to take care of takeout orders. But it's usually around 10%.

Rosslyn does have a height limit because of the airport. I think Tysons doesn't, but it's such a sprawl.

OK. I decided to keep reading. The fact that he's complaining about the fountain in McLean Gardens tells me where he owns his expensive condo. I guarantee very few people care about it who don't live there.

There are quite a few things cars do that lower quality of life. I live in a residential area that gets a lot of car traffic. There is honking all day and even into the night. Drivers have absolutely no respect for the quality of life for others.

Apologies. I stand corrected. I shouldn't try to do things off the top of my head before coffee.
The Greeks/Macedonian Greeks really weren't creative with names, were they? All the Philadelphias and Alexandrias make things confusing. It's a shame it couldn't have kept its name into the early modern period. I would be curious what the Turkified version of Philadelphia would be.

That's not Turkish, btw. I believe it is modern-day Amman.

These are pigs in a blanket, not pigs in blankets.
I'm just imagining all the people chiming in that it's not a proper sausage roll if that's what OP called it.
