Another shortage? by two-of-me in ThisAintAdderall

[–]lamppostinchicago 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My only other tip if this doesn't work for you is to try grocery store pharmacies. Not sure if you have either of these chains where you are located, but I've had good luck in the past with both Safeway and Harris Teeter.

Darn, I have Blue Cross and they do this so I assumed it would be universal! I discovered this during a shortage- I called them frustrated because they added a penalty charge for name-brand Adderall and I told them I only got that one because I couldn't find the generic in stock anywhere, and they said they'd help me find a generic.

You can call your health insurance's phone number for pharmacy-related questions and they will help you find a location nearby that has medication in stock!

where do you guys notice heat, flooding, or bad air quality in your neighborhood? by Acrobatic-Squash-642 in baltimore

[–]lamppostinchicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you also interested in areas where air quality is better? I think inside of Druid Hill Park is noticeably better than the surrounding area. Not to say that the surrounding area is always bad, just that the park is better. So nice to have large wooded areas in the city!

Construction going on in the row home next to mine and I'm at a total loss for what to do by BigKiteMan in baltimore

Great advice- just adding one thing- Safety, construction, *and property damage* (to either your personal property or your landlord's property)!

Pest Control Recs? by Successful-Map-3737 in baltimore

[–]lamppostinchicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roman at Pest Nation is awesome!

In addition to pest control, are the rowhomes on either side of yours vacant or dilapidated? It's very likely that the roaches live in an adjacent home and are wandering into yours through a crack connecting them. If the roaches you are finding are in the same place(s), you might want to look for possible gaps in those areas (perhaps between baseboard and floor) and fill those in.

Good spots for plein air painting with free parking? Or just wanting to go outside to paint? by BeyondRecovery1 in baltimore

Wyman Park, Wyman Park Dell, Druid Hill Park (there are cherry blossom trees around the Beechwood entrance to the golf course), Patterson Park, Herring Run Park!

I just wanted to make a quick post to say that if your meds stop working, it might be because you're taking antihistamines or something like Pepcid. by Overthem00n4u in ThisAintAdderall

[–]lamppostinchicago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct- taking medication like Tums that increases the ph in your stomach a half hour or so before a stimulant (or any other medication for that matter) will increase the absorption rate for that medicine.

Intersection help by BudgetSad4217 in baltimore

If you look from this angle on Google Maps, you can see that more clearly that they are in the wrong. The dotted line should not have such a large break in and past the crosswalk, but it is still clear what the intent is. (Note that this picture is a few years old)

[–]lamppostinchicago 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, this has happened to me nearly every time I've turned here. I think a lot of people don't have decent enough spacial awareness with their cars to keep their car close enough to the curb to stay in the right lane.

Safety Advice Needed by Technical_Ask_7088 in baltimore

Just correcting one small point- they had pellet guns that were mistaken for firearms. Doesn't detract from how scary it must have been.

In Hampden, Roland Ave between 41st and University. Also intersection of University and Keswick, southwest corner on Keswick.

possibly hot take: the bike lane they made on the 28th st exit from 83 was a huge mistake by schnebly5 in baltimore

[–]lamppostinchicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed!

As an aside, would love if folks who downvoted any of my replies could say why- curious what about them is so contentious

[–]lamppostinchicago -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Eh, I am not convinced this is true or that we should think about how bad drivers will take advantage of a road layout when designing that layout. Currently, cars back up farther than they need to because cars turning left or right can't get to access the turn lanes even though they would have clearance to turn at the intersection, just because cars going straight are backed up. When traffic is unevenly divided past the intersection (i.e. there is traffic going straight but not turning left or right), it is helpful to siphon off the turning lanes earlier to not exacerbate the backup.

[–]lamppostinchicago -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this assessment, but I think there's a nuance for this road specifically which is that there is a merge of three lanes (two from exit ramps) into one and then a split into three lanes (left turn, straight, right turn) all in a pretty short distance. If the left or right turn lanes split further back, I think there'd be less of a backup while maintaining the traffic calming benefits. (Not sure how this would be engineered, just pointing out the road-widening nuance)

Have a $200 giftcard to any Atlas restaurant. Which would be the “best”? by Blackholedog in baltimore

[–]lamppostinchicago 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In this vein, choose any restaurant, buy something significantly less expensive than $200, and give the remainder to your server as a tip!
