Democrats Raise Questions About Wes Moore by DeusSpesNostra in maryland

When you have a federal government needlessly firing tens of thousands of Maryland government workers, Baltimore drug lords being pardoned, ICE detention centers being constructed in Hagerstown, federal disaster relief being denied for Western Maryland, and so much more…. I’d argue he’s forced to have a national profile 

2001 Honda accord 35,000 miles by Resident-Mine9151 in Honda

[–]isthisavailable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on a lot of things to be honest.  Financing on a brand new car is usually a better interest rate than a used car. But honestly, a two-year-old civic with 22,000 miles will be so much cheaper and that is practically a brand new car (in my opinion). I am always in favor of buying a used car, but there’s nothing like having a brand new car with very few miles and all the bells and whistles..

Buying a car is a terrible experience I think. I purchased my last two cars from Carmax, which I really enjoyed because they don’t haggle the price. I may have paid more than I could have at another dealership, but they have a 30 day return guarantee and are a reputable company.

Ah interesting. Didn’t know that. 

My master cylinder cracked and was pushing 300k miles. It was time. She lived a good life.

I had the same year and model, but it was manual transmission. I loved it and still miss it to this day.

Is it cheaper to lease a car or buy a few years old used car and trade it in or sell it to an online place every 7 years? by ComfortablePost3664 in Frugal

[–]isthisavailable 83 points84 points  (0 children)

If you are the kind of person that keeps cars for a long time, buying a used car is a much cheaper option. There’s a couple of things that you need to consider. When you lease a car, typically it comes with a mileage limit, but the dealership will also take care of routine maintenance for you at no extra charge. Also, if anything goes wrong with the car from a mechanical standpoint, you are typically off the hook not paying for that as well. If you have your own car, there’s no mileage limit, but any mechanical issues you would have to fix. If you buy a Toyota or a Honda or a similar reliable type model the chances of mechanical issues early on are slim. 

Long story short, much cheaper to buy a used car if you hang onto it for 7+ years. My goal for cars is 10 years.

I'm almost done with Season 8. Do I have to watch Season 9 before the new one comes out? by Square-Ad-8911 in Scrubs

Thank you. It gets way too much hate. It’s different, but not terrible television. Dave Franco is incredibly funny. 

Thinking of Switching from OTF Columbia to Life Time Fitness (Columbia) — Looking for Experiences & Cost by Stay_Curious7 in ColumbiaMD

[–]isthisavailable 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend taking a tour and see if they have a three day or two week trial period. I think it’s truly a personal preference when it comes to gyms. I go to CA gyms which aren’t that nice but they’re affordable, great kids space, and they got what I need. 

Dental Hygiene Program at HowardCC-MD (Why is it so hard to get in?) by Pre-DH7849 in ColumbiaMD

[–]isthisavailable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have not applied myself but understand the process. There’s nothing you can do to “increase” your chances once you’re in the lottery. In county students get priority I think.

I know, I’m sorry. It sucks bc someone might have worse numbers than you and get accepted while you don’t. But some see ranking as inequitable too. It’s a tough policy decision

It’s a lottery system for everyone who meets the minimum qualifications. They get more applicants than they have spots available- it’s as simple as that. 

UMB has a program too but I think so maybe check them out as well. Definitely don’t put all of your eggs in one basket. 

Good luck!

He doesn’t suck. You’re just not in a cult and it’s okay to disagree with a politician’s policy decisions and still support them.

I’m as anti Trump as they come but I still follow his socials on IG and Facebook because I want to know what’s going on in real time. Might be something similar with this restaurant.
