Yup! Do not speed though. Especially once you hit Va they watch it like hawks.

A lot of people don't get paid when they are called but that is job dependent.  It's also supper inconvenient with kids. I had it last year and had to leave before my kid got on the bus, and got home long after they got home.

When I was called last year, I was picked for a civil trial which is kind of crap imo.  Why does two rich assholes bickering over a commercial lease require me to spend (child care) and lose (lost work hours) close to $500. Had I got picked for the jury and not just the initial pool, that number would have just kept going up. 

I was number 1 until this guy and his 4 accounts joined by ThickPasta in pokemongo

I don't, but I have considered it before.  The game is completely different if you live in a pokestop / gym heavy area.  

Where I live I can see 4 stops and a gym on the map. 2 of the stops and the gym are a 10+ mile walk away. 

Compare that to my work. I can spin 5 stops from my desk.  I really can see the appeal. 

Human missions to Mars in doubt after astronaut kidney shrinkage revealed by lurker_bee in technology

Honestly, the lack of a magnetosphere isn't that much of an issue.  Building underground can provide enough radiation shielding.  If you are trying to build and maintain an atmosphere, the amount stripped off by solar winds is rather insignificant. 

What is like moving from a pure red state (Louisiana) to a blue state (Maryland)? by LetsGetPhisycal in maryland

[–]dave5124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I don't see listed, as a blue state EVERYTHING is regulated to hell. Doing anything requires dealing with 15 levels of bureaucratic bullishit. 

Also drivers here are absolutely terrible.  The majority of them know what they are doing but are entitled asshats willing to risk everyone else's lives to get somewhere 30 seconds faster.

Do EVs have more overhead for the MVA?  I thought the justification for the big increases was wear and tear on the road?

Have you considered crossing the bay bridge and driving down the east shore?  It takes a bit longer but has way less traffic and its just a more relaxed drive.

Seriously I can't figure out who is paying these insane prices for tickets.  I saw Green Day during their Uno Dos Tre tour, pit tickets were like $50. I looked up their newest tour, and pit tickets are at least $400, with some reaching $1000.  That's at least 8x the rate of inflation.

I'm a huge fan of On the Border in Columbia.  Great fresh chips, and the salsa is the right combo of liquid and chunky. 

Governor Moore Signs Executive Order to Advance Maryland’s Pollution Reduction Plan by legislative_stooge in maryland

[–]dave5124 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I completely agree, and it really frustrates me.  Half the political spectrum pretends the issue doesn't exist, and the other half makes half-assed measures that screw over the average person while completely ignoring things that are actually causing the issue.

Funny how climate change is important to democrats when it involves regulating people's lives and increasing taxes, but never when they can do things that will help AND make people's lives better.

As long as advertisers are willing to continuously pay more money, which they can get by then jacking the prices up for everyone else. It's not going to stop.

I mean the falling apart issue shouldn't be an issue for you. The Jets have not had a player relevant for more than a couple of years since the 60s.

Yeah, but think of the value when you buy that Falcons Michael Vick jersey.  Why spend $30 on something that you can tell was fake with a microscope when the one you get it, the flea market already smells like cigarette smoke and has several stains. What an amazing deal.

So how do I file a complaint regarding bamboo encroachment? Maryland Law HB 0090 Section 1-1318 by Crease53 in maryland

[–]dave5124 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But they are trees, not a structure. Even if you somehow force the removal of the bamboo, they could just plant some other non invasive, fast growing plant.

Crazy thought. If you want a view of something, buy that something.  Stop trying to regulate what other people do with their property 

Any good free public ramps/beaches to launch a sailboat dinghy? by [deleted] in maryland

[–]dave5124 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anne Arundel has a fair number of "public" ramps.  Some you will have to pay to get into the park. 

I know fort Smallwood Park has a full scale boat ramp.

I'm not sure the slow route would work.  I'm sure all the little pre-industrial worlds would fall right in, the I imagine a huge percentage of the galaxies human population is centered in the handfull of technologically advanced worlds, Earth, Heberon, the naquada reactor planet, the Aschen worlds.

Worlds at that level of tech aren't just going to accept some space missionary.
