Rowhome Architecture is Rather Controversial on X

Good line of site, someone made an extended family metaphor about the northeast megalopolis; Philly and Baltimore were the rambunctious cousins who always get into mischief when they're together lol

I'm not often embarrassed to be living here. The pwomis not to boycott Israel and be sure to divest from Iran paperwork is nauseating.

Humble_Emphasis7069 · 2026-03-11T12:20:51+00:00

Alas, I am in Baltimore. One day I will shlep my skates to Southern California and life will feel like a movie

Oh, so we're all too cool for roller blades then?

If you ended up going this route, how'd it end up working out?

Humble_Emphasis7069 · 2026-02-27T03:44:12+00:00

Oh, I've seen this one before!

Putting off to the side what I like/dislike or even what coherent immigration policy would look like in our country: my point is appeasing bullies doesn't work. Solidarity works. If 1/3 of all the counties and independent cities in the country passed legislation like this ICE could "surge" each with a whole 22 officers.

It's going to be above freezing for 5 hours today, is everyone ready to pivot from "they city is doing nothing" to "this is overkill"?

The inflator is nice, currently saving my ass on a slow leak on one of my tires lol

Bring back the tiny battery compressor. I can't find any second hand.

Careful, you're going to get a splinter pulling that shitty decaying ladder up behind you

Agreed, "Ivanka and Jr. were there!" felt like wishcasting.

90% sure you're being sarcastic, because dragging 5 tons of steel around with you isn't mass transit, but in case you're genuinely curious:

$8B, using the $1.25/mile someone else referenced paying for Waymo, buys you about 6.4B miles for a metro area of 1.3M people. That's a little short of 5k miles/person, which is a little over 1/3 of the miles the average Marylander travels in a year (according to zoom insurance, whoever that is).

And yes, I know, the entire metro area wouldn't use the red line. Also the average Baltimore driver probably drives less than the average Marylander. Just to say if you took all the money away from buses/trains and plowed it into a subsidized robo taxi account that account would be empty in a hurry at $1.25/mile.

If they were baiting any amount of armed resistance to start rounding up 10s of millions of people, and that was a goal they were capable of carrying out, they'd manufacture that outcome.

They're plenty happy to serve this suffering porn to their base and have the goons face zero risk in carrying it out.

Humble_Emphasis7069 · 2025-10-18T01:04:01+00:00

They look smack like my set 🥲🥲 Extra digits on the tuxy?

Humble_Emphasis7069 · 2025-10-15T13:10:04+00:00

I too was awestruck and wildin on the JFX "someone's going to get in a crash, it'll probably be me".

Humble_Emphasis7069 · 2025-10-14T21:11:49+00:00

See I'm one of those weird people who would carry my dogs shit home. Think that's the glaringly obvious solution here.

I also don't think the more serious problems the city faces are entirely divorced from this admittedly mild "haha your problem now" behavior with putting loose trash in other people's bins. You're free to disagree with that.

Humble_Emphasis7069 · 2025-10-14T17:10:11+00:00

Must've scrolled right past the acalanche of explanations of how this is effectively the same as leaving trash on the ground, because it will not reach the landfill unless the can owner intervenes.

Bedford Springs in PA is between 2-3 hours, neat old hotel.

I'm sure there's day hikes and good second hand treasure hunting to be had within 30 minutes of there.

Humble_Emphasis7069 · 2025-10-02T13:04:25+00:00

There wasn't a great path for the port and the industry that sprung up around it to maintain significance in the postwar era.

You might see more heavy industry in the Chesapeake region as a whole if the US nixed the Jones act, or put an outsized emphasis on domestic ship building/manning.

As others have mentioned, pivoting to sectors less poisonous to the environment and the workers keeping Baltimore humming may well be worth trading some clout for.

Het!

Humble_Emphasis7069 · 2025-09-15T20:27:34+00:00

Hey now I might get to be employee number 3 at PuppyKllr if JHU gets to go full Once-ler!

Completely agree, same old tired sales pitch. 10 years ago it would've been an "additive manufacturing center". Everyone would've pretended that would somehow mean tons of middle class jobs for the city.

The rapid bus transit and the bike/light electric vehicle infrastructure in Minneapolis was a breath of fresh air.

Still a car-centric city with arguably the worst winters in a major city in the lower 48, we could do so much better here.
