“Paycheck to paycheck” is meaningless. Cost of living calculators suck at factoring in not needing to own a car and pre-tax transportation costs. The value of free entertainment is also left out.

RCN is great if you can get it. I pay ~$30

That never happened to me, but UberPool was interesting. Every once in a while there’d be a great chat between the co-riders and/or the driver, but mostly it was an insight into how antisocial we’ve become.

good thing they told us the gym was closed. would not have figured that out otherwise! smh this is ridiculous

It’s beautiful and a symbol of DC

But over the past 5 years or so, it’s been a hotspot for Insta posts

14th. 16th. New York. Connecticut. Much of 9th NW too.

Take New York, for example. 85% of the stopped traffic and bottleneck going west from NoMa into Mt Vernon Square is caused by the parking on the side of the road forcing drivers to squeeze from three lanes into two for a few blocks before opening up to four for the on-ramp to 395. So long as we’re dependent on cars, NY will continue to be a major thoroughfare, and parking on the side for those few blocks between N Capitol and New Jersey makes it hell and shuttles frustrated drivers off onto side streets.

Reminds me of back when Uberpool was a thing and entitled cheapskate assholes would request a pool then try to bully the driver into letting their 2 friends ride with them.

The first clause you quote is dependent on the killing being purposeful. Intentionally killing someone during the commission of another felony elevates the charge to murder one. The second half deals with the conditions under which unintentional homicide can be elevated to murder one. FWIW, were it a crim law exam, I think you could score points by calling it a purposeful murder via depraved heart, but that’s at common law, and I don’t believe DC has the equivalent.

That said, given the history of violent crimes, the concurrent felonies, etc, and that he dragged the victim before pinning him against the tree, I’m disappointed, but not surprised, that the AUSA didn’t either go for a longer sentence on the manslaughter charge or even try for murder two.

I'm curious about this. Have you been? I've been learning spanish on duolingo for 5 months. 15 mins every day, but I can't yet really speak to Spanish speakers I regularly encounter. I know I need to practice in person, but should I wait until I'm more proficient?

One501 finally sent out a message to residents just saying there is “an active isolated incident involving local authorities on the 7th floor”.

who knows, I guess the management company

Who are you going to complain to? I feel like whenever i email them I get no reply or zero help when they do.

Because I'm a glutton for punishment, and because you seem to have convinced 3 other illiterates that what you are saying makes sense, I'll try one more time.

The first part of that statute discusses traditional first degree murder. Only the part I quoted above is about felony murder. The big thing that should clue you in, is that second part starts with "or without any purpose to do so." Anything before that requires intent to kill. Felony murder is specifically about situations where someone did not intend to kill, so the part about intending to kill would not apply.

Only the specific named felonies in the second part can get you to felony murder. The other clue here, is that it would not make sense to say any felony applies, and then name specific felonies. Obviously these must be for separate things. Why do you think they're naming specific felonies?

I am using very small words, this should be easy.

The Petworth library has a weekly conversation group on Thursdays.

That isn’t unique to cherry blossoms or this sub, my last city’s sub had a “famous cat” that everyone and their brother would post lol- just humans being humans 🤷🏼‍♀️

cop outside told me "upper floors" if that is helpful at all...

7

Can I ask what floor? Tryna see how close it is to me 😅

stay safe man. one of the cops outside said it was "contained" but nobody is doing a good job of letting us know rn.

At this point I sort of have to guess that the cops asked them not to say anything

They aren't talking to anyone. They're mentally ill.

While we’re name dropping, Morse Apartments is garbage at notifying residents about anything around the area or on the premises. I woke up at 5am once to my neighbors place getting raided by DCPD. That was fun. Also we had a string of cars get broken into and they didn’t say shit or do anything till a few days later.

Stay away from Morse please. They don’t deserve more money.

I left this morning at 8 for errands and was able to get back in an hour later no problem. Planning to head out for lunch shortly so we’ll see

Soupergirl's retail storefront has been essentially shuttered since the pandemic, (I think you could technically pick up orders at the door?), which felt like a waste of a Metro-adjacent location.

I'll be glad to get something that drives foot traffic at that corner again.

hey neighbor. planning to complain about the lack of notification...
