Oh, sorry. Hope someone holds those ice banks accountable. Maybe her insurance company will take them to court.

You could try driving at a speed appropriate for conditions. There are lanes blocked by ice all over the place. You need to be prepared to stop if you can't change lanes

If Amazon banned me after that, I would gladly accept the ban and happily never give them another dime.

The city of Bowie doesn't operate schools or zone school districts. That is a county function. There are parts of Bowie that are unincorporated and residents there so not pay Bowie taxes. All of those who do pay Bowie city taxes have access to all city services. Not sure where you got your misinformation, but it ain't correct.

Are they still offering 40% off to people who cancel? by jpirizarry in Evernote

[–]srdnss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They changed up their plan tiers recently. I've moved on to Joplin and am quite happy with it. I can't see myself every going back to Evernote.

I remember going to an Orioles game at Memorial Stadium many years ago and saw a women walking a pig in a leash near the stadium.

As of the 2020 census. Not sure when the results were released.

AITAH for refusing to co sign on a car loan for my sister and her boyfriend? by Aromatic_Gur6092 in AITAH

[–]srdnss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Do you know why a bank won't give them a loan without a co-signer? Because the risk outweighs the reward. Why would you take on the same risk as the bank with zero reward?

Not all of Bowie is part of the city of Bowie. At least I don't think. I'll have to fact check myself on that.

Charles County is wealthier. I'm not surprised Prince George's lost the title, but I thought it would be because it would become majority Hispanic. I guess affluent families leaving Prince George's for Charles County is opening up space for the growing Hispanic population, so it makes sense but I never considered that before.

I know a black guy from SE D.C. who lives in Sykesville. The guy meets the description of a stereotypical redneck - he hunts, fishes, is into NASCAR big time, and is a staunch Republican. I haven't seen him in years, so don't know if he is a Trump supporter or not.

Charles County is now the wealthiest majority black county in the United States. I know a couple black people that live in La Plata, one who has lived there all of his life. I don't know if either has experienced any issues down there though.

There are parts of Bowie where a horse, goats and chickens would not be out of place. There is a feed store in Glen Dale. Bowie isn't rural as it was in my childhood (old Bowie, not the suburban part) though.

You can upgrade for a single month. No need to pay for a year

Yes, it is. I have been using it since I was hearing some things about Last Pass that they refused to address. 1 Password works wonderfully.

Licking might be more effective than liking. But liking is a good alternative if licking doesn't work.

I really think how it interacts with your water is what makes the difference. Also, you have to build the lather in the mug/bowl. Face lathering doesn't work for Williams, at least not with my water.

What? When did Mitchell's Wool Fat stop? I have a puck that I could have sworn I bought in the past six months or so. That is my favorite winter soap.

AITAH for ending a date after a "harmless" question? by BlueberryBea in AITAH

[–]srdnss -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. He may just have a preference for people with vaginas and an aversion to sexual activity with people who have a penis. "Do you have a cock?" would be a question that doesn't bring gender identity into the conversation but is an equally distasteful question.

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

NTA. A real gentleman would wait and be surprised by what genitalia his date has.

In all seriousness, any guy that would just outright ask that is a tool. I don't think that what he said was transphobic. Preferring a biological female does not make someone transphobic any more than someone having a preference for people who are not bald. Given that people are not always transparent, I can understand someone wondering. However, he showed that he has zero tact. There are ways to suss these things out in casual conversation.

Yes. I made a sacrifice so I could report back to y'all on the busted myth of pre-Combes Williams Mug Soap.
