Reply to MARC Train from Union Station to BWI? by themetalhawk
Thanks all, it's great to know this is a reasonable option moving forward.

So a bottom drain plug blew off, right near where the pipe goes into the ground. There seems to be a solid chunk of ice blocking things. I'm concerned that there is that much standing water in the pipe given that the freezing temperatures didn't hit till hours after all that rain last week.

One of the stuff that I see is a spark plug thing where if you put the spark plug in it would have power and water control someone’s having a bad day because they lost the spark plug collector what I’m saying is if you have an engine and there’s a spark plug thing like the little plastic thing that has like the cord to connecting to the spark plug that thing is cut and the engine is dead

>They don't have to win, and everyone still gets paid - all while the entity being sued doesn't have to deal with excessive legal and PR costs
Insurance covers their legal defense costs. There is no PR for a car accident or a slip and fall.
I know you couldn't get into law school, but have you ever been a part of a lawsuit? A jury? Your lack of fundamental knowledge of how the world works is disturbing

It also involves a lot of work. Time also = money. You don't just get a email with a settlement amount and then it is over. Again, no one is working for free. No one is taking a case unless they can get paid on it.

Settlements = money with no trial. That's what most PI lawyers go for. Jury trials are 50/50. But again, no one here is working for free.

What?
Southwest has the fastest boarding times across all airlines.
>Southwest Airline’s boarding method – no assigned seats, no assigned order – proved to be the fastest, at 14.07 minutes, which was a whopping 47 percent faster than back-to-front
Also boarding method and assigned seats have absolutely nothing to do with this issue and you are welcome to fly any other airline.
Do you honestly want one of the largest domestic airlines that employs tens of thousands of people to go out of business? Specificly an airline that has a hub locally where thousands are employed specifically because an entire wing of our airport was built to handle their traffic?
I dont know about you but I want as much competition as possible for air travel. Losing airlines means we get closer and closer to a monopoly and thats bad for consumers.

When a highly likely outcome is a settlement depending on the scenario, I tend to disagree. They don't have to win, and everyone still gets paid - all while the entity being sued doesn't have to deal with excessive legal and PR costs. Many, many lawsuits are filed in the country simply for the settlement - and that to me is frivolous in many cases.

Again, no lawyer is taking on a PI case unless they can make money or fame off of it.

Do you realize how expensive it is to try a case? Trust me, no lawyer is going to take a "frivolous lawsuit." You can't just sue because you want to.

Reply to Affordable massage therapist help? by loafoveryonder
Unless there was an initial injury - low back pain, or chronically tight QLs, are typically a result of an imbalance in the hips. As a result, the muscles around the hips (glutes ESPECIALLY) need to be addressed; tight hip flexors are also typically associated with tight QLs; hamstrings and inner thigh muscles should also be addressed, at the very least stretched. With massage, like most things, you're going to get what you pay for. I wouldn't rely on a student to resolve your issue.

My pop had the same thing. He just got exterior heating pads/pipeheaters. Wrap em up and plug em in wont fix it for good. But beats 8k.

I’ve done this a couple of times. Very doable. You can now take metro all the way to Dulles which is a nice option if there’s ever a flight worth taking from there

I’ve done this before. Take a cab or get to union station somehow and trains run regularly. You’ll be fine.

Supposed to fly from OKC to San Diego via Denver Jan 4th. I will need to check a bag. Is it too soon to say if I should rebook with another airline that isn’t Southwest? I know you mention it’s likely to go out as scheduled but is there a chance of anymore meltdowns in the near term?

There’s a banging Thai restaurant in Waverly at 33rd and Greenmount. It is called, appropriately, Thai Restaurant

By some miracle I was able to get out of BWI yesterday… having begun the day without a ticket (had to ticket to NY, had to get back to Dallas)…
I kept refreshing at 5:30am and got lucky with an 8:00 flight out. Went to airport early and got on standby to see if I could fly out earlier … not long after that flight gets cancelled but fortunately I was the first on standby (got on early as as a list I guess I bypass those who weren’t, huge benefit of flying a lot I guess).
Ended up on the 1:50 out and got home at a decent hour. Had that not come through I’d likely be in Baltimore through tomorrow or later.
