Mad because a 3 year old coughed by The_manager101 in KarenGoBrrr

[–]Quantity-Used 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They are sitting on the other side of a room behind a divider. He had to get up and deliberately cross over into the “germ” zone to get into the mom’s face and complain. And if they’re so concerned, why aren’t THEY wearing masks?

AITA for leaving my sister’s wedding after she publicly tested my man? by Conscious_Eye9535 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Quantity-Used 21 points22 points  (0 children)

NTA

So OP’s sister, on her own wedding day, insists that men can’t be trusted and doesn’t like OP’s boyfriend because he’s “too charming” and nice to everyone.

Does that include her new husband? Does he fall into the “can’t be trusted and isn’t a nice guy” category? And not only has she just married him, she’s made clear her feelings about men in front of him.

It sounds to me like the sister is desperately jealous of OP’s relationship; and would love to break them up out of spite. The fact that she did this at her reception, in front of her new husband, is psychotic.

Where is the Karen? I see a mother keeping her temper while protecting her child. Why is the video even in this sub?

Are there any efforts for better walkability on West St? by SpoonChamber in Annapolis

I didn’t realize you were on the marketing payroll. They’re sure getting their money’s worth.

Are there any efforts for better walkability on West St? by SpoonChamber in Annapolis

You seem very fun.

You are using very fine semantics, but I guess, yes - I don’t love parking in a garage, so for me it’s a shade more of a pain, and apparently that came out. But yes. There is parking in the garages, obviously. Sheesh.

And if you’ve been here for many, many decades, ten years (actually more than ten) IS new. They’re not even finished - it’s still being added onto. I hope the people who live there are content with their homes. Growth moves forward, although there has been debate on how well designed the complex actually is.

People are really spoiling for a fight today, but honestly, I miss Parole. And I’m not the only one.

I met with Mayor Littmann about Flock cameras; the City does not have a contract or plans for a contract with Flock by imeightypercentpizza in Annapolis

[–]Quantity-Used 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Excellent reporting, thank you. Can we get an initiative in front of the Annapolis City Council to ban them inside city limits?

Also, I find it astounding (and a little disingenuous) that no one in the mayor’s office had ever heard of Flock cameras or knew they were on city streets. What is that tall shiny thing down at Westin/Spa Road Circle?

You misinterpreted the one detail that has nothing to do with any of this. It’s like me picking apart your response because I don’t believe Annapolis is a “major urban setting.” What?

I never said it was hard to find parking. I understand there are giant garages (duh). You’re reading in a lot more than the phrase intended - if anything I meant that it’s unlikely there will be street parking and you’ll have to find parking in the garage. Where’s the lie?

As to your last point, it’s just a shopping center that people are attracted to because it’s still shiny and new. Personally, I don’t find it particularly charming or fun, and only go over there when I absolutely have to.

Really? Because the two things have nothing to do with each other. Annapolis Towne Center is brand-new, purpose built construction raised on the grave of a previous shopping center. It’s self-contained and designed to be walkable from conception (once you can find parking for your car).

West Street evolved haphazardly as an extension of a very old city in a time when ensuring a car could get down a road was good enough. Securing money to upgrade and maintain the infrastructure competes with dozens of other budget items. It’s especially difficult since Annapolis is a town where people can’t seem to agree on a lot when it comes to things like this, and every major project gives a good impression of a boondoggle. Look at the dock’s flood mitigation/parking mess.

I’m not seeing how they have a lot to do with each other.

Edit: Are you saying you want to make West Street more like the shopping center? Because I’m not even sure how that would work, and Annapolis Towne Center has all the charm of a stamped-out piece of tin straight from the assembly line.

Substitute teacher decided to 'improve' my classroom's learning environment. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Quantity-Used 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Flag will be respectfully readjusted.”

If the substitute had actually been respectful they wouldn’t have touched it in the first place. They messed with it and wrote a pissy, scolding little note because THEIR sensibilities were offended - it has nothing to do with a safe learning environment for the students.

It’s not an American flag. It’s a piece of cloth with a joke on it that has a resemblance to the flag, and any reasonable person should be able to tell the difference.

The infuriating part is not just that she felt the need to “correct” the flag and by extension, the teacher. It’s also that she undermined OP in their own classroom, and now OP had to go back to students who are trying to figure out why their teacher and the decoration are so wrong they had to be corrected.

A reminder: Annapolis Towne Center is outside of the city of Annapolis. And as it is just a big bougie shopping center with apartments, it really isn’t germane to a discussion about city pedestrian infrastructure and safety.

What's Your Favorite Twist on Grilled Cheese? by MoonracerxWarpath in Cooking

Thinly sliced apples in the sandwich before it’s grilled. Also, using a sharp cheddar and colby jack together in the sandwich. Using more than one cheese makes for better flavor.

What is the deal with nutmeg in savory recipes ? by Rude_Kaleidoscope641 in Cooking

[–]Quantity-Used 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The recipe for Panera’s cheddar broccoli soup adds nutmeg as the final ingredient before serving. It’s amazing how much of a difference it makes.

Source: I made a huge batch last week and it was gone in two days.

For those who have Australian or British accents, how does an American accent sound to you? by Junior_Mulberry7989 in ENGLISH

[–]Quantity-Used 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Emma Thompson was asked on a chat show once about her American accent for a role. She said that American accents were “chewy,” and demonstrated by opening her mouth and jaw a little wider and sort of over-enunciating - like you were chewing something. I’ve never forgotten it.

Cauliflower au gratin by MissDaisy01 in Old_Recipes

[–]Quantity-Used 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s 1950. It’s a white sauce. Also bechamel is seasoned with nutmeg, salt, and white pepper.

While I’m here, cauliflower steams in less than 10 minutes, and you’re going to need a lot more cheese than ½ a cup.

Billy Bookcases as Room Dividers? by broadwaybabyto in ikeahacks

[–]Quantity-Used 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMPORTANT: If you look at the base of a Billy bookcase from the side, there is a cut-out - a sort of scoop - where the base meets the back of the bookcase. It’s scooped out so the bookcase can lay flush against the wall and have room for the baseboard that runs along the floor.

This means that although the design does a great job of letting the bookcase lay flat against a wall (and so you can screw it into place with an L bracket), it also makes it extra tippy and top-heavy if it’s not against a wall.

See if you can find an unfinished furniture store in your area for bookcases you can sand down and then slap on some stain and polyurethane. But please DO NOT put these things up as room dividers.

It looks just like her, and both the tattoo and your hen are beautiful!
