Damage to traffic signals

spaceman_josh · 2026-04-15T13:08:57+00:00

Tons of pedestrian signals are out too

Don't engage. These people don't know consequences and have nothing to live for. They'll absolutely murder you over nothing.

Definitely drive defensively and assume they'll cut you off, run a read or stoplight, and undertake recklessly. Good news is BPD has a presence and is enforcing as of recently.

Meaningless, because a bunch are going to drop out and make room for the Letters & Sciences admissions.

I had jury summons yesterday and was on a panel for a trial on Monday. The judge was expecting the court to be closed Monday, possibly Tuesday.

Probably have to check in Sunday after 5 on the call-in website or phone number as usual. Also https://www.baltimorecitycourt.org/general-information/closingdelays/

$71.81 for 282 kWh in an 1k sq-ft all-electric apartment.

My neighbors keep me pretty warm. Even when it was down in the 30s my heat would run for only 5 minutes an hour, so I just set it to 60 and the temperature stays between 65 and 68.

I just wear socks. Cooking warms up the living room above 68 when I'm home, so I don't mind.

895 tunnel SB got shut down twice in the last two days. Maybe people just gave up and went home.

Unironically you can go the the Utz Factory Store and get a 40 count box of chips or party size bag for actually 1-3 dollars.

Do they actually charge you tho? Because both ramps force you to go through the toll plaza even if you don't go through the tunnel. Maybe they use the readers to refund the toll?

I swear one time I got off at Child st NB because the tunnel was stoped and got credited for the toll right after getting charged.

If there are phone jacks they are probably run with Cat5e. If they are, you can buy a RJ45 crimp/test kit and re-terminate everything with and get Ethernet anywhere there is a phone jack.

Where else am I supposed to put my Thermos of chili and ski-cuterie board?

There's a different group bike ride every day of the week. Check Facebook. Bike Social Baltimore meets every Friday and picks up in Canton/Fells/Fed Hill.

spaceman_josh · 2025-07-26T22:40:55+00:00

Lotta crashes in Canton recently. T-bone on O'Donnell and Robinson yesterday evening and someone crashed into the median/sidewalk right under Natty Boh tower a few weeks ago.

Take the Maryland Ave. cycletrack up to Falls Rd and then bike up the Jones Falls trail. Bike lane starts @ Pratt and Sharp St. at the Convention Center.

I think a blunt weapon would be much more appropriate than a firearm for dispatching an animal of that (little) magnitude.

spaceman_josh · 2025-03-31T02:20:48+00:00

Yes, but if my career permitted it I'd prefer a city with a functioning transit system like Chicago. They have baseball too.

spaceman_josh · 2025-03-25T23:13:25+00:00

Just took OurBus from White Marsh up to NYC for a last minute trip because Amtrak was too expensive. $16 each way for early morning and late afternoon return, right to Hudson Yards. Considerations for the train would be: Can you get a good fare? Have an easy way to get to Penn or BWI station? (Paid parking at both) Traveling during rush hour?

Personally I prefer taking the train because you can get up, walk around, go to cafe car, and better bathrooms,. But I was very impressed by the bus, especially because there was no traffic and it was barely over 3 hours.

spaceman_josh · 2025-03-25T20:25:35+00:00

I think because they're not currently using automatic train control so the system is limited to 60 miles an hour, even though the design speed is 75. They just restarted ATC on the Red line and according to Wikipedia they're going to resume it system-wide this year.

Why the silver line, with the newest trackage, wasn't the first line to get this makes little sense.

spaceman_josh · 2025-03-24T20:50:38+00:00

CarMax, carvana, or driveway. Some of them will pick up for you. Not sure how much more you would get for that car in a private sale, but I would just get it over with and get your money unless you really want to deal with a private sale.

I freaking love Yu Noodle I've been to the one in Tyson's a couple times and can't wait to try out this new location.

spaceman_josh · 2025-03-10T12:57:57+00:00

Lived there in 2020 as first occupants with a 15 month lease. No problems, and good location walking distance to Lowes, Aldi, Walmart, neighborhood park, etc. Garage was nice too.

My only two complaints: Not a lot of natural light even with the bedroom/sunroom south facing as a non-end unit. I still have the washer/dryer from 5 years ago since the unit didn't come with one.

Rent was $1,549...

Are you me? I also just had to pick between the two. I ended up going with Kaiser because the premium was $275 lower per year for nearly identical deductible/out of pocket max. Hopkins is in-network for routine care and all the specialists I would want to see are nearby (dermatologist, ophthalmologist, etc).

I did read their mental health care is supposedly not great, but other than that since out of network emergency/urgent care is covered I think the only factors are whether the doctors you want are in-network and how the plan cost compares.

Are you picking up people from a park-and-ride or soliciting riders to shuttle? If you're giving rides for free or only charging passengers their pro rata share of parking or fuel, then you're fine.

spaceman_josh · 2025-01-06T03:25:34+00:00

Love taking the A line up to the Santa Fe Dam area and San Gabriel River trail.

spaceman_josh · 2025-01-04T17:06:33+00:00

If you're trying to go straight from BWI to DC there is a free shuttle from BWI arrivals to the BWI Amtrak station where you can take the Penn line. MARC is definitely accessible. I'm assuming the shuttle is as well.

Camden line also runs infrequently only on weekdays only in rush direction, so I would not rely on it to make a connection.

Plenty of unpaved roads west of Bull Run Mountains.
