I would add: maybe not even just vulnerable, but downright awkward. It may take multiple, direct invitations to get a bond going with someone you meet at events you enjoy

It's amazing how badly i mis-red the original post. OP, keep oyster oyster for when you're here dining solo or with pb friends.

I can't recall ever having been to an airport where the letter/number system is not in place, except for very small airports. Maybe I'm just not remembering

We all have bigger fish to fry. But someone's gotta look after the small fish, too.

Start by informing your neighbors. 90% they are not home when the landscapers are there, and have no idea what's actually happening. I have also called the company itself on a couple occasions to remind them the law, and let them know I will report them the next time. I do not understand your hesitancy; leaf blowers are a heinous pox on quality of life, as the regulations recognize.

I think perhaps a more accurate title for this post would be "Bad Uber drivers are terrifying"

Reply to comment by madmoneymcgee in As a driver, New Jersey Ave NW has absolutely convinced me that protected bike lanes are the right decision. by sloowhand
5th street/park street going south and warder street going north, on the blocks near Wash hospital center. Didn't really improve the bike experience that much, but significant driver wait times at the lights when going south. Same with Irving Street in that area. By(unnecessarily) eliminating the right turn lane to the hospital, traffic backs up at nurse shift change.

Reply to comment by CanaKitty in I get zero cell service at home. Has anyone had luck with signal amplifiers or know of local companies that can help find a solution? by basicblather
Yeah, see, I don't understand the fear of using technology that works, just because it's old technology. To me it seemed like OP was turning themselves into a pretzel, for something with a very simple (old school) solution

Oh, wow. I've heard of that. As recently as last year, the public service commission was still, I think, making them do it. But no longer as of July, I think.

No joke. Most of the residents in my neighborhood have a landline for this very reason....hills and crappy cell phone service. Was absolutely crucial during the height of work from home.

Really depends on the field/ work setting you are considering. You'll get better answers if you say more about that.

Yes! Do chest compressions. Getting BLS trained is best but even just watching a video is better than nothing. Do not be afraid to hurt someone, if they are arrested, they are already dead.
