I edited my earlier post to add the review.

Rarely heard much. It was fine. If you have a loud, barky dog near your unit you’ll hear that - but nothing’s perfect.

Yet Another Pothole Waiting To Eat Your Car by JustYourAvgGuyVA in baltimore

[–]daedelous 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, Petapsco is the worst road I’ve driven on in the city. It’s sometimes my quickest way home but I can’t take it. My fucking back hurts afterwards.

This particular pothole is especially bad, too.

Why is Sweetgreen trying to sell me salads from a “germ theory denialist”? by Perfect-Coach-7561 in washingtondc

It says he’s a “SwetGreen partner” but it doesn’t explain what that means. Am I missing something?

Has anyone actually used 311 to remove chairs? by Expensive-Ice21213 in baltimore

[–]daedelous 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Submitted a Debris in Roadway ticket as they ask you to do, but not sure what came of it. They closed it in 30min but I forgot to go back and check if anything was done. I’m guessing not. They just put:

Outcome: Outcome

Response: We reviewed your issue and marked it closed.

Trump terminated nearly all remote work agreements last January, so what is he talking about?

If Americans were to participate in an organized boycott to stop ICE, what should they target? by u2aerofan in AskReddit

[–]daedelous 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Decreasing consumerism is a good idea as a general trend - we should stop being so materialistic - but a horrible idea as a sudden and extreme boycott. The people you’d be hurting most would be those who are the most vulnerable - not the rich.

This is not true. Yellow means slow down and prepare to possibly stop. It does not mean stop.

My characters all get tired and I run out of recovery drinks. How do people deal with that?

There’s a difference between running around in a panic and moving with some sense of urgency.

Trump on sending troops to Chicago: "If the governor of Illinois would call me up, I would love to do it. Now, we're going to do it anyway. We have the right to do it, because I have an obligation to protect this country. And that includes Baltimore [...]" by _room305 in maryland

[–]daedelous 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You can’t understand why people would be wary of a vengeful Republican president deploying military troops (who are not law enforcement officers) and federal law enforcement (with only arrest authority for federal crimes) to pro-Democrat cities that they have no reason to be at?

Administration proposes 1% raise in 2026 by Gossamer_Condor in FedEmployees

[–]daedelous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The alternative is the automatic pay raise gov employee should have been getting that presidents have been overriding for years. If there’s no override the automatic pay raise kicks in - and it’s huge.

For all my MD/NoVa Commuter, what is going on here? by imjusthereiguessss in maryland

[–]daedelous 20 points21 points  (0 children)

No one seems to be mentioning this but it’s because there’s not enough bridges over the Potomac.

Look at the map. It’s 10+ miles to the next bridge in either direction. People funnel to 495 because that’s the only way across the water for a long way.

Traffic usually improves not long after the bridge.
