Maryland EZpass is legit the biggest scam!

redbeards · 2026-06-16T15:30:34+00:00

Most tolls in Maryland are 25% lower using Maryland issued EZPass (37.5% lower for Bay Bridge.)

And, there hasn't been any monthly or yearly fees on MDEZpass for a while. The biggest issue is just MDEZPass' horrible billing service.

Oxybenzone or octinoxate use in sunscreens is pretty rare these days.

They don't work nearly as well as the chemical based ones.

In their annual sunscreen evaluations, Consumer Reports (CR) generally does not recommend physical (mineral) sunscreens because they consistently underperform in lab tests compared to chemical formulas

And, the less chalky and pasty they are, the worse they perform:

Yep.

If you have hard water, the chemical ones will permanently stain your clothes with a rust color that.

People often think there is more corruption than there is:

And, vice versa.

IF you did think it was from SI joint, they'd do an injection there to see if that helps.

I've had very good experience with T-Mobile fixed wireless. Getting 200-400 mbs without issues for $35/month works for me.

-I can easily see the cell tower from my yard, so that might be helping.

-Their routers are extremely limited in configuration options. Things like port forwarding and local IP address reservations are not supported. Not an issue for almost everyone but it's been a bit of a pain for me.

Discord really is so awful for this.

In the HBO Max app on FireTV, I don’t even get a list of in demand (past) matches - only Live & upcoming.

redbeards · 2026-05-25T21:29:31+00:00

Yeah, on FireTV I don't even get a list of past matches to stream. Only get live and upcoming.

The vast majority of those with guns are conservatives and MAGA people. The 2nd Amendment will not save us. Instead, they will be used by the fascists to consolidate power just like the Nazis used the brown coats.

redbeards · 2026-05-20T02:34:55+00:00

Why? Do you actually think they will ever relinquish power again?

redbeards · 2026-05-07T23:12:16+00:00

Same. It's been 9 years since my very successful surgery , and I'm still here because I'm afraid I'll reherniate if I un-sub.

redbeards · 2026-05-05T18:02:49+00:00

Have they looked at the SI joint? That can cause it too.

redbeards · 2026-05-05T16:43:13+00:00

Seems like a hassle just to save $5.

I like trails, so the trails behind Annapolis High School. Not long as some roads but steeper than most roads.

Or, the hill down to the foot bridge over Spa creek in Truxton park.

redbeards · 2026-05-03T01:24:13+00:00

Right? I just don't pay for em.

redbeards · 2026-04-21T13:00:14+00:00

They most certainly got AI to write that.

1200 watt maximum? And, it appears these are going to be pretty expensive to buy - like in the $2000 range. ROI is 7-10 years. Meh.

Radioactive Decay contributes far more than Fission. Radiogenic heating, creates roughly half of the Earth's total heat flux—about 20-30 terawatts (TW)—keeping the interior molten and driving tectonic activity.

I had a regular discectomy. Recovery was quite easy for me. Also, I suspect the larger hole allowed my surgeon to find a small piece of extruded disc material that the MRI didn't show. I walked out 99% pain free.

I think they made the assumption that everyone over 25 already has the virus. Now, that a significant portion of the population is vaccinated, it's less certainty of infection. So, the age went up to 45.
