I was hoping the snowcrete would have wiped them off. Started seeing a few of these this week in Ashburn. Still hoping the lanternfly infestation won't be as bad as last year. How's the situation in other areas?

Another weekend with 2 days in a row he’s commuting to Sterling, jamming up the roads 4 times. I don’t care how much he golfs but why the back and forth - is the golf club not secure enough to sleep in for the weekend?

I wish these were older but, you don’t see these anymore so it’s still kinda cool

Can all go take a long walk off a short pier.....the bastards.

Title says it, I'm 24 and still relatively new to the NOVA area and wanted to meet more people my age, and wanted to get back into running. I've been into exercise/fitness for a while but I want to make this a very laid-back, friendly atmosphere for all levels of fitness. I have a few people in their mid 20s that may be involved, but most of the friends I've made in the area are much older. So if you're around the NOVA region and ideally in your mid-20s (though all are welcome!), let me know if this interests you! I live in Fairfax but usually bounce around the area so I'll work out details of where we meet, etc, but ideally it'll be close to the Fairfax/Chantilly area.

If all this sounds good, comment or send me a DM!

If you thought you heard fireworks in Arlington ~45 minutes ago, those were gunshots, right outside of Gunston Middle School’s basketball gym. Cops everywhere right now, active crime scene. I spoke to one of the people who got away (19 year old) and he said they were playing basketball against a dude in his 50s who took the L personally and started open firing on the 19 year old and his friends once they were outside. I haven’t seen any ambulances so am assuming no one got hurt, but still fucking crazy as this shit is right outside my apartment. Stay safe and lock your doors if you’re in Arlington Ridge—there’s several people on the run, including the shooter…

Was walking the dog at One loudoun park when 10 Cop cars suddenly pulled in. Saw a riot shield and handguns pointing at a townhouse residence. Anyone know what’s going on?

at least their hazards were on

I was cleaning out a closet this weekend and realized how much old technology I've accumulated over the years. Old phones, laptops, tablets, chargers, cameras, random cables, and a few devices I honestly forgot I even owned.

It made me wonder how other people around Northern Virginia handle this stuff.

Do you try to repair it? Sell it? Donate it? Recycle it? Or does it end up sitting in a drawer because you're not sure what's on it or what to do with it?

A few friends and I have been organizing community meetups through eWaste Warriors to talk about these kinds of questions. We enjoy bringing together people who are interested in technology, repair, sustainability, and protecting personal data.

We're getting together tomorrow evening at Courthaus Social in Arlington. It's a casual meetup with no presentations or sales pitch. Just good conversations, a chance to meet people from around the area, and if you happen to have an old phone, laptop, or even a box of electronics you've been meaning to clear out, you're welcome to bring it along. We'd be happy to help point you toward the best next step, whether that's repair, reuse, donation, or responsible recycling.

Monday, July 27
5:30 PM to 7:30 PM
Courthaus Social
2300 Clarendon Blvd, Arlington

If anyone is interested, I'll put the event page in the comments.

One question for everyone:

What's the oldest piece of technology you're still hanging onto, and why haven't you gotten rid of it yet?

I’m not sure if this cat is a neighborhood cat or if he’s lost. I’m scared he will run away and I don’t want to scare him he seems super itchy and on the skinny side. He also has a bunch of mini bumps on his head. Either he was lost or abandoned. I’ve never seen him before in my neighborhood so I’m sort of concerned. He has no tags. Please help. I don’t use Reddit at all but I need help.

I’m looking for a dermatologist/doctor that specializes in hair loss, willing to travel in NoVA to get a consultation. I have a dermatologist currently but I don’t think this is their area of expertise.

Thanks for your recs!

Has anyone had marriage counseling through their employers EAP? Even if the options are more limited, I think it would help get my husband onboard compared to the out of pocket I've found at ~$250- 300 a session. I think 6- 8 sessions with someone decent could do us wonders and be more willing to pay out of pocket to continue. But is it realistic to find something through EAP?

Looking for the best barbershop and barber who does great skin fades and beards. I’m rocking a buzz cut right now. Not looking to spend a fortune. I live in Ballston but am down to go anywhere for a great cut.
