did you really just waste a minute of your time to write the dumbest comment i’ve ever read?

Or basement

You know what sucks about our local companies? Our own state doesn't use them in so many projects. And I really did not know this until I researched the company that created the new portal for unemployment. When that huge disaster came along, I found out the company headquarters was in India, when we had plenty of amazing ones here in maryland! Then I started looking at other city projects and it was all the same....Very disappointing.

I can't, sorry, I've been out of school about a decade. I couldn't succinctly explain it. It shouldn't be too hard to Google if you want to follow up on it. I can tell you for sure it was already in anthropology's rear view mirror over 15 years ago.

Actually the big front windows in most row homes were always designed to be the way to get big things in and out. Then people started remodeling and put in different windows not knowing they were opting out of an intentional design convenience.

OP isn't talking about commuting. They're training for an actual race, so stopping at lights and signs doesn't fit with that. It becomes either them getting bad training for their race or disobeying traffic signals endangering themself and others. If you're talking about commuting, sure, it's fine, but that's not the case here.

I’m floored that 15 is too old for a children’s shelter. He’s legally a child.

This is disgraceful

Except Amtrak. I’ve been left in bumfuck no where on a Sunday night by Amtrak after waiting 3 hours for the train to show before they say it’s canceled

Right?

The thing that cracks me up, though, is all the suburban pearl clutchers who complain while also buying Harley shit.

I'm not really sure what the solution is. But I know the problem isn't "there are no jobs".

It's impossible to solve the problem when we don't understand it though.

So what’s your base argument here? You clearly understand that capital owners will do anything in their power to acquire more capital, pay workers bargain basement wages, and (legally and illegally) snuff out unionization. So we mustn’t make reforms that system but rather…….what? Tell workers to pull themselves up by their bootstraps?

Check out the tool library for that!

> Or. I just know how math works.

Discarding over 95% of your data because it doesn't fit your claim is not, typically, how math works.

Policy makers, absolutely.

Everyone else is just a cog in the system though.

Public companies have to have their stock prices go up. If they don't investors will put their money into companies who's stock prices do.

All those other people: CEOs, managers, etc... If they don't help do that, they're gonna get replaced with people who do.

It's an ugly system, but it's the best we've come up with.

My recommendation is don’t listen to this person! So many people bike everyday in the city - for recreation and to actually get around. There’s great riding of all styles - playing in traffic downtown, coasting in and around parks, rolling through the more suburban-y parts within city limits. The more bike riders on the streets the better it is for everyone…

Got it! Strategy: continue to blame the million+ workers rather than the hundreds of executives (and by proxy, policy makers) who prioritize year over year profit margins above all else

The dumb school choice system means kids are being taken 3-5 miles across the city to the good schools.

Oh man. Forgot he passed. 🥲

Start at the harbor, and ride north. It's all uphill. I used to ride from Fell's Point to the Loch Raven Reservoir and back a couple of times a week.

Much of Baltimore's sewer system was rebuilt anew after the great fire. Because of that, we have one of the most modern systems of the Northeast.

While other cities' systems required massive upgrades in the 50s and 60s to separate their sanitary from their stormwater, we didn't have that issue. Yes, it's poorly recorded by as-builts/GIS, but that's not a huge issue in itself. Even well mapped systems need lots of field verification.

Infrastructure investments are made for 80-140 year lifespans, which means that timing can make a huge difference.

I’m just floored you/our county city teachers aren’t provided the information you are seeking! You are a good soul. Hope it all works out somehow.

Right, but are they serving over two years? They served in August 2022 and that was last year now and April 2023 is a new year.

You should call to clarify. I recently served in September 2021 and then was summoned again to go in January 2022 and I had to go despite calling. The person on the phone would not allow it to be postponed but I didn’t fight it I just went.

That was one of my thoughts, but like you said, noise pollution. That's what stopped the racing at RFK stadium in DC
