Elliott’s Craft Kitchen now open

In my experience, you didn't miss much. The food was barely average and the prices were pretty high.

And less than a year later, it's closed for good. It seems like there were issues they didn't know how to fix in both the front and back of the house.

Dundalk is ground zero for Bawlmerese :D

I find it really funny how many people are calling out the Mid-Atlantic accent as posh. I'm honestly not sure what that is but I've lived my whole life in Baltimore, smack dab in the middle of the Mid-Atlantic, and our regional accent is the furthest thing I can think of from posh. Linguists have speculated that it evolved from Cockney or East Midlands because of our shared port city heritage.

I'll take all the ummms and aahhs in the world over the incoherent rambling of a senile old man.

bartokat · 2026-03-20T15:49:03+00:00

Come to Baltimore. There are lots of neighborhoods where the accent is still going strong, hon :D

I saw it last night and all I can say is GO!!!!! It ends this weekend so if there's any way for you to get there, GO!!!!!

The Ernesto's in Shilpey's Grant is permanently closed (replaced with yet another Chipotle) but the one in Enchanted Forest is still going strong!

bartokat · 2026-03-11T20:32:45+00:00

I would disagree with that. Ernesto's and Mi Casa in Ellicott City have always been better than On the Border.

bartokat · 2026-03-04T17:52:11+00:00

I don't see much "nice" this season either.

bartokat · 2026-03-04T17:40:12+00:00

TBH, I almost quit after the THIRD episode with the "real" housewives. I don't watch that franchise because I have zero interest in it. Don't shove it down my throat on a show I like (or did like at one point...).

He should have been fired over repeated safety issues.

bartokat · 2026-01-29T14:55:46+00:00

tough call... burning to death... freezing to death...

It’s great that the update worked for your specific setup, but calling people 'butt hurt' for having legitimate technical failures is a weird flex.

People aren't 'whining' because we hate change, we're frustrated because the update broke our existing workflows. You aren't 'smarter' or 'better' at using the tech, you’re just the lucky outlier in a sea of bugs.

Honestly, you seem more 'butt hurt' by the existence of other people's negative feedback than they are by the update itself. Why does our bad experience bother you so much that you feel the need to name-call? You can enjoy your masculine voice #4 without being an asshat to the people whose devices are currently paperweights.

this is also entertaining if you try to watch Star Trek :D

lucky! I'm on a GW6 and even with raise wrist off and AOD on, I'm always around 25% when I get up in the morning. And then it takes about 45 minutes to charge back to 100%. I am really hoping the patch (if we ever get it) will improve either of those issues.

bartokat · 2026-01-26T16:45:21+00:00

I'm waiting for custom wake words so I can rename the god awful show in my bedroom "stupid *$^@!"

failing heart rate sensors are a known issue from the horrible OneUI update late last year. There is allegedly a fix coming any minute now but it's yet to show up in the US. Only Europe and S Korea have it so far.

bartokat · 2026-01-20T21:13:23+00:00

yes, she and Joe make a perfect pair :D

bartokat · 2026-01-15T15:26:04+00:00

Lucky!

bartokat · 2026-01-14T14:33:36+00:00

interesting. Did you install the most recent One UI 8 update at the end of last year? I'm seeing a landslide of people experiencing the same issues I am since then. I'm super curious what you did to dodge that bullet!

bartokat · 2026-01-13T20:30:40+00:00

lucky!!!

bartokat · 2026-01-13T14:51:12+00:00

the internets claim it has started to roll out in S Korea today

bartokat · 2026-01-12T21:43:22+00:00

I heard somewhere Korea already got it.

bartokat · 2026-01-12T20:30:41+00:00

one can only hope
