The majority of the waste pulled from the Anacostia is plastic, per the article, and we know all about how challenging it is to recycle glass (if you don't do it single stream/dedicated, it's just landfill cover), so would that be a better place to start?

While Atlas went there in the one quote, Right Proper has a bit more of a nuanced take - the requirement to separately label cans sold in DC vs. cans sold in MD/VA that would be a logistical nightmare and added expense.

I wonder how much the overall goal would be hurt if cans were exempted entirely

There are other options on Amazon that would arrive in time (as of this posting) e.g., www.amazon.com/Morph-Costum... or, if you want a crown, www.amazon.com/SNOLAF-Infla...

And hopefully your agency's budget people left some money in last year's funding to cover that FEHB "shift" (since it impacts the employer's share too).

Really stoked, though not sure what it says that "Registering for Household Hazardous Waste drop-off" passes for excitement these days.

This would be nice. www.jsonline.com/story/money/...

Downtown's Water Street could be cut from 4 to 2 auto lanes -- with protected bike lanes added

The proposal to remake the eight-block stretch, between East Pleasant Street and East Kilbourn Avenue, would slow speeding cars, says City Hall.

Isn't this a big part of the AI bubble in a nutshell?

I assume the implications are why the flyer touts her role as a committee chair...

I think I saw someone say Tom Sherwood tied it to a possible delegate run. Which would be an interesting move.

Hard to believe that this bridge is less than 11 years old.

Photo of the not yet finished pedestrian bridge connecting the Rhode Island Ave Metro to the MBT and points west. The structure is in place but the deck is not finished nor any railings.

What *would* be nice is a better connection between US-1 and the Potomac Yard Trail - the zig-zag ramp from 4MR can be challenging, and the newer ramp from 4MR to the east side of US-1 doesn't directly connect right there.

And this is why I keep a boot/glove dryer in my office...

Chris @lhasacm.bsky.social · 9d

Yeah - I'm at a bit of a loss as to the problem it would solve, given how messy the connection north to Eads is and how uninviting it can be. Not to mention any logistical complications around the water treatment plant's infrastructure (plus the power lines).

For all of the terrible shady things that they do as a company, I have to give a teeny bit of credit to Google/YouTubeTV for including the link to Monumental's own streaming service in their "hey, we couldn't reach a deal to keep their network in our lineup" email.
