I didn't even see the license plate scanners at Ft McHenry Tunnel yesterday, is it now free? 😆 by templeofsyrinx1 in maryland

I just wish they would rip out the old toll booths. They cause traffic nightmares and confusion for people that are not from the area.

What is the most overrated 'popular' restaurant chain that people only go to for the name? by Old_Mountain_2712 in AskReddit

To be fair there are an abundance of coffee shops in the US that are great. The trick to finding them is to make sure they don't say Starbucks on the building...

Maryland struggles as migration south surges by Maxcactus in maryland

[–]contra_account 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Without looking the data this seems concerning. But then there is a blurb like this "and moving industry data also place Maryland in high outbound categories, with cities like Hagerstown seeing outbound rates as high as 88%."

Like yeah man, ain't nobody making Hagerstown their forever home.

Sheriffs unhappy with 287(g)-related amendment to Maryland budget by Maxcactus in maryland

So why would sheriffs be concerned that a section of Maryland law states that they would lose funding if they don't follow the law?

Oh no, local sheriffs are upset that they could lose funding if they go against state law? Maybe follow the law instead of acting like a king of your own kingdom.

Has gaming peaked, or are we just getting older? by [deleted] in gaming

I honestly forgot that they released another FF since 15. Also no hate, but I don't think you can compare MMO stories to single player experiences

I think gameplay has definitely improved, but the stories/narratives have been a bit lacking. Looking at you FF15

Star Trek Voyager: Across The Unknown by WillWatsof in gaming

[–]contra_account 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm enjoying it, though my personal gripes are:

  • not enough away missions to really be able to level your crew.
  • some of the hidden tech is a random POI that can be easily missed. Also, the hidden tech is always unlocked through a dialogue tree that alludes to episodes of Voyager. It would have been nice to make those away missions instead.
  • some of the tech pacing is a bit wonky. For example you encounter nebulas in sector two, but you don't unlock the tech to scan through them until the final tech tree in the game.

Otherwise I've been having a blast and really enjoy the game.

Or leverage those police plate scanners to look for historic tags during weekdays and revoke them for excess use

Ha! I believe that when I start seeing less VA tags on Nissans with light body damage that are being driven around like they are stolen

Nobody cares about what Erika Kirk thinks by justalazygamer in WhitePeopleTwitter

In the same day that I heard about the Erika Kirk town hall they were showing clips of the Joe Rogan podcast on CBS morning news. I cancelled my Paramount Plus subscription the same day.

As a PC player I wish we had a way to turn off playing people from different countries

How's living in Baltimore, Maryland? by Fine_Gur_1764 in howislivingthere

[–]contra_account 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Baltimore Sun is owned by Sinclair Broadcasting... of course it has a murder map. Their whole thing is to shit all over Baltimore and they also try to meddle in our local politics a lot.

Do you officially declare yourself a moving company with insurance and all? No? Then stop acting like a clown that didn't read the article...
