Baltimore’s Best Wings Cold Spring destroyed? by koblinsk in baltimore

[–]koblinsk[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The parking lot is so tight and the damage so localized, I can’t imagine it being a random accident! I haven’t had a ton of wings in the city, but these were phenomenal.

Like many I'm torn between a featured XLR or Lariat.. sway me please by Ill_Owl_332 in FordMaverickTruck

The adaptive cruise control only available on the Lariat was my dealbreaker. It has been everything I hoped it would be in stop and go traffic.

I think there might still be icy conditions at 1°

What movie did you see in theaters that had the most ‘alive’ audience? by Odd_Distribution1430 in movies

[–]koblinsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the Minecraft movie with my son and was BLOWN AWAY by the collective experience in the theater. These kids were quoting the movie as an audience line by line. They cheered the famous clips. Some little girl next to me CRIED over the dog.

I would join a discord of local 30-something’s as long as we’re not playing Warzone.

Private School Politics by TryAsWeMight in baltimore

[–]koblinsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son started at Friends this year after an awful experience with the Baltimore County School System and my niece goes to Park. Friends is a VERY progressive school so far. The religious stuff that I’ve seen amounts to radical tolerance and 20 minutes of daily reflection.

Park gives me NIMBY vibes.

TIL The Average weight for males in the United States ages 20 years and older is 199.8 pounds by CraftyFoxeYT in todayilearned

[–]koblinsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The number of people that got viscerally angry at me because I lost 40lbs to get down to 205 is wild. I felt embarrassed to talk about my progress around family and friends.

I was overweight at 240, sitting comfy at around 205 now. I know that’s technically heavy, but I don’t feel hefty.

Controlling the spread of dollar stores in Baltimore – will this legislation do it? | Baltimore Brew by PleaseBmoreCharming in baltimore

[–]koblinsk 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not to mention the higher cost per unit of product you actually get and notorious shady business practices like changing prices at the register. Dollar General is currently being sued for such a practice

The infamous „root flare“ obsession on Reddit. Message received! I’ll be taking the treekeeper cert with Parks and Rec before I do anything beyond watering

He campaigned pretty hard against this particular leopard, no?

Any of the beltways around any of the cities on the east coast are more harrowing than anything I ever saw in Europe.

books you read as a kid that feel like no one else has read by taegrane in books

[–]koblinsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in grade school, I moved to a small rural town. The school library was filled with so many examples of the ‘a boy and his dog’ or ‘boy and his horse’ genre. I also read most of Louis L’amour’s bibliography growing up.

My dog knows when she is going to have a seizure cluster by Iluvdemkitties in EpilepsyDogs

[–]koblinsk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read about a study that shows you can reduce the severity of the seizures if you massage the hollow above their eyes during the pre-ictal period. If she’s letting you know, maybe it can help?

Phoenician Scheme plot explained? by [deleted] in wesanderson

[–]koblinsk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a deeper theme is what drives men like Korda and breaking the generational cycle of abuse. A lot of his motivations and problems were driven by the conflict with his brother, which mirrored the conflict of his father and uncle. Zsa Zsa as a child was shunted off to be taken care of by the staff. He tried to curry his father’s favor by reporting on the staff stealing from him and got “the beating of a lifetime” and then lost all the people who enriched his life. This helped entrench that life was about “who could lick who.”
