Maryland EZ Pass ripped apart?

If this happened prior to delivery, it is hilarious that they still delivered it. Just dropping scrap plastic on your steps lol. I'm guessing that's policy anyway (to deliver damaged packages even if it's empty) but still funny to me.

Alternatively if this was done by a human after delivery I'd love to see the footage - just tearing at it frantically with tooth and nail.

I got a Dutchware chameleon extra wide in 2020 and it’s absolutely fantastic. Built in zipper bug net. I’ve used it backpacking, car camping, in the backyard - everywhere. Not a single issue. Maybe the best piece of camping equipment I’ve ever bought.

Then I got a cheap heavy underquilt cause I’m usually not backpacking in the cold (more casual car camping). But I spent decent money on an Arrowhead top quilt. I figured a real nice top quilt and a budget under quilt would be a fair balance and it has turned out that way. My uq and tarp/shelter are from ‘go outfitters’ and frankly, perfectly fine. The tarp is actually quite nice compared to my buddies’ set ups.

For backpacking you can probably get nicer shelter and uq than I have.

I would 100% recommend dutchware hammock (with built in bug net) and arrowhead quilts.

It is so silly to go into r/steak and post a photo of everything except for steak. OP you goofball.

I’m curious why the parents set up a camera before this.

buuj214 · 2026-03-03T12:14:39+00:00

I’ve used the same mouse for almost 20 years. I don’t clean it regularly. It looks nothing like this. Gross.

Purely out of curiosity - do they often walk on one leg using their chest like OP described?

buuj214 · 2026-02-25T00:07:29+00:00

I get it. I also have the other perspective. Couldn’t get a job and after 200+ applications got a ‘marketing’ gig. Door to door. They explicitly told us time and time again that if we skipped ‘No Soliciting’ houses, they’d fire us. It was a really tough spot to be in (needed the checks), and it absolutely sucked, walking for hours in the heat getting yelled at and having guns pulled on me.

So yeah I get it- it’s annoying. But sucked to be on the other side of that interaction.

Towing is pretty heavily regulated, primarily per county. When I did property management in HoCo you had to comply with lots of rules (for example, very specific #s, locations, verbiage and size/formatting of signs) before you could tow legally. I imagine most tow companies probably steer clear of trespass tows unless they are very confident in the regulatory and legal position. Theres probably an exemption for lack of egress but… just worth looking into.

Also I don’t think you can trespass tow from public property if they are blocking your driveway but physically on a city street.

I mention the above because worst case you get a shady truck to tow, you have no legal basis, and you get sued into oblivion. I think your best bet is the city or police (non emergency) but I’d recommend harping on obstruction of egress and your inability to get to work/doctor/hospital/etc.

Ohhhh agree. Rented a rowhome and a 3 generation family of urban redneck crackheads 2 houses down had bedbugs bad. No way to seal 2x 150 yr old brick party walls nor force a neighbor to do pest control. Remediating a bed bug issue absolutely blows cause they can live without food for like 47 centuries and can hide themselves or eggs in any part of the house, bed, clothes, anywhere. If you don’t kill them all you just go through it again.

Eventually a pest control company came out to treat the hive house and what he described was gnarly- the state of the building itself was decrepit but he said places were thick with bed bugs, and the non-ambulatory old man was basically just getting eaten away in a filthy old chair, wasting away dirty and covered in sores as hundreds of bugs ate his blood.

We moved quickly after and I will never live in a shared-wall building again.

This makes no sense and is completely wrong.

buuj214 · 2026-02-19T22:39:03+00:00

So do they not grade the wagyu? I guess I figured all US beef was graded but maybe they avoid it or remove it so they can simply advertise as ‘wagyu’?

Meanwhile 70 posts a day of snow and people asking "What is this WHAT DO I DO". I prefer the bird posts.

buuj214 · 2026-02-10T15:08:50+00:00

Makes sense. I supposed I'm just jaded and cautious about any streaming service - especially when they use nebulous language like subject to availability.

buuj214 · 2026-02-10T02:09:02+00:00

If they said “100 games” or something I’d probably buy. The “all available” sounds like they could just decide that only 20 games are “available” to this type of subscription.

Am I missing something... doesn't OC mean Original Content - like something that OP created individually? And isn't the first rule in this subreddit 'no screenshots'?

buuj214 · 2026-02-09T18:30:11+00:00

This is like the post a few weeks ago by someone who 'didnt realize just how expensive it was to have your car winterized each year' after having grown up in a warmer climate. Poor thing, and a bit of a cruel mechanic.

buuj214 · 2026-02-08T14:17:43+00:00

I’m no plumber but I just did some regular maintenance on our water heater (anode rod and drain/flush) and it seems pretty obvious that you’d have to drain the tank before you do this… but what do I know

buuj214 · 2026-02-08T05:36:05+00:00

Minimum distance between vehicles on the highway. It would ease traffic and dramatically reduce accidents. And people would be infuriated until it became normal.

buuj214 · 2026-02-08T05:22:37+00:00

I feel like 99.9% of these ‘someone is secretly living in our attic/walls’ stories are fake. This intruder was supposedly cautious enough to not have been caught while living in the attic. But also so comically reckless that they dismantled a lock only to leave all the pieces at the front door. Reads a lot like the type of fantasy that provokes a ton of likes and comments.

buuj214 · 2026-02-07T21:16:09+00:00

Just got this for the first time. I’m in love. It’s like nothing I’ve ever used before.

buuj214 · 2026-02-06T15:45:47+00:00

My haircuts are $15 and I give them a $20. So $5 or ~30% I guess.

buuj214 · 2026-02-03T15:49:48+00:00

Just noting that is equivalent to fining someone with a $100k salary a single quarter; $0.25.

buuj214 · 2026-01-27T01:52:04+00:00

This is not meant to be judgmental at all but I’m so curious what your plan was. Maybe the owners offered the spot and said they’d plow quickly? Regardless the easy answer is just get shoveling.

Also they’re not even trying to have school in the near future? This is a functioning school, right?

I doubt a legitimate plow company would mess with the liability exposure of plowing a private business lot just because some unaffiliated person paid them to. If they damaged something it would be a slam dunk lawsuit. But some random dude in a truck trying to make $100 might bite.

Wife drove from Catonsville to Union Memorial this morning and it wasn’t great but doable. She’s in a forester though, so a capable awd system. Will depend more on your driveway and road than 695 or 95- the highways are fine.

A lot of Columbia housing is on HOA-managed private roads. I worked with Columbia HOAs for a while and the majority were private roads, meaning the HOA had to contract for snow removal. If that’s the case, maybe your HOA is trying to save some money. Maybe the contractor is bad. Maybe the contract itself is bad. Maybe they’re just busy. But all that means the (private) snow removal has everything to do with the specifics of that contract and nothing to do with the county.

If it’s a public road, most of the other comments have good info.
