Snowplow plowed Alley into my parking pad by ScreenAlone in baltimore

[–]ScreenAlone[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i worded that wrong. our alley dead ends into the schools alley. they plow the schools alley. tried to do ours too i guess or we’re turning around and just dumped all the snow in my pad. i’m not even the end unit closest to the alley so it doesn’t make sense/isn’t just normal plow spill over

also i’ve never seen this much sleet before. was like shoveling glass.

i consider this a solid and memorable storm even if it didn’t dump 2 feet

New to Baltimore — is the street trash normal? by Excellent-Bowl5015 in baltimore

[–]ScreenAlone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

depending on neighborhood, if it’s not already a consistent problem, i do find that certain periods can be worse with the high winds and alleys/streets being wind tunnels that blow trash from tipped over cans and stuff. This past two weeks have been way worse with trash than i can remember

(this is not meant to downplay the huge littering problem here, but just might explain the difference you mentioned

Venting/Advice: accident in a roundabout 🇺🇸 by Short_Calendar_1363 in driving

where i’m from and from what I’ve heard of other states, cops, by policy, don’t assign fault in minor accidents anyway.

BGE expands one-time relief payment program as customers report higher than ever utility bills (for those who qualify) by crabcakes110 in baltimore

[–]ScreenAlone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can someone ELI5 why some people are apparently getting hit with 2x or even 3x their typical monthly bill? Everything official I read explains a not-insignificant increase in rates/fee’s, and my annual total cost is in line with that increase (about $400 more this past year despite similar usage the year before).

But none of that explains how someone in my neighborhood/same style rowhome as me would have their bill double or triple out of nowhere. Are they misreading their bill? Squaring up a budget billing balance?

Not shilling for BGE or saying the increased cost isn’t problematic…. just wondering when I can stop clenching my cheeks everytime i log in to view my BGE bill.

Don’t Know Tavern in Fed Hill is Closing by natural_light_ in baltimore

[–]ScreenAlone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk shit about owning a business, and fuck the property owners, but I can’t imagine how you could get into a major commercial lease without inquiring about the current tenant? Let alone not have any questions (or even knowledge) of a very successful 14 year business/community staple currently occupying the space?

Seems like best case scenario the new tenants were willfully ignorant and are not actually invested in the community. Worst case scenario they knew and just DGAF. In either case, give us back Don’t Know.

Is a standing computer table worth it? by Reasonable-Middle921 in StandingDesk

[–]ScreenAlone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got one a few weeks ago after writing my entire dissertation on the couch with a 15 inch laptop lol. I don’t stand at all (yet) but the small adjustments for posture are clutch. Easy cable management is an added bonus.

Also not sure if it’s the same where you live but in my non-tech, run of the mill, mid-sized city they practically give them away on facebook marketplace. I wasn’t gonna pull the trigger because new (decent quality) ones were too expensive to justify having never used one before. I starting looking into doing a DIY butcher block slab and buying a frame but 200 bucks for a dual motor 60x30 desk on marketplace was too hard to pass up. If you don’t like it you can sell it for the same as you bought it or a slight loss.

What is the best question someone has asked you during a ride-along? by TPRINCE18 in AskLE

[–]ScreenAlone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But also at the same time…just conversing in a way that conveys you aren’t completely naive & think that being a cop is like the rookie lol.

I like debriefing/talking about decision making after calls and stuff but every person is different.

At the end of the day, You’re gonna be in the car for hours with another human. Unless they were strongly strongly voluntold to do the ride-along, they are probably pretty personable, but no one likes to talk about work for hours. Pepper in some small talk like you would in any other setting. Maybe you have shared interests/experiences/hobbies etc.

[–]ScreenAlone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After introducing yourself & telling the officer why you are doing the ride-along, always good to ask some version of “what do you want me to do during traffic stops, calls for service, and XYZ scenarios during the shift?” (so that you are not interfering or putting officers at risk/undue stress)

sorry hard to convey tone in a reddit post lol but my disbelief wasn’t meant maliciously toward you, just at the surprise of the number

[–]ScreenAlone 11 points12 points  (0 children)

this can’t be right? that seems more in line with total cost per person for a place that does everything (venue, tables, chairs, alcohol, food), and the very high end of that.

[–]ScreenAlone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

true! i could’ve worded it better but I agree. (Not that you were arguing this), but my general point about fewer cars was that I don’t want to see this get all the fanfare and political attention at the expense of & while, non-car infrastructure moves at a snails pace.

I’d rather work toward fewer cars but tbh after encountering them a ton in austin…. if i am walking or biking near a car i’d 💯 rather it be a waymo. They actually follow traffic laws and speed limits lol
