This strikes me as funny. Every glove I've ever owned, all of my efforts went into breaking it in and making it less new. Whether it was shaving cream and tying it around two balls or sleeping with between my mattress and box spring.

Dude was arrested in Texas? Seems like this was more than your garden variety dustup between Charm City knuckleheads.

Just a heads up, we addressed our leaky basement by replacing our roof. It would have been really hard to see those two things as connected, but they were.

Reply to comment by maiios in If someone says “the most effective nonprofit (or community group) in Baltimore” - what groups do you think of? by caseyswatts
How do you quantify success with this group?
The idea seems nice in conception. But seems like there are a decent number of paid volunteers who are playing both sides against the middle. It eludes me, but isn't there even a term they have for this phenomenon and Safe Streets?
Anyhow, I'm curious what metrics are you using when you say they are the most successful non-profit?

Pretty sure this is the same crew who shat the bed under the BMore_Healthy moniker.
The question is why post this? Why go to the trouble of posting an image they know is misleading, and crafting the post to draw attention to it? They had a decent story to tell... and yet they chose to undermine their credibility with a pointless lie.
It's a little thing and largely inconsequential. But most big things are made of lots of little things. And on social media, credibility is currency.

> so rehoming the homeless with federal support isn't super difficult if there's just a little will to do so
Going to offer a hard disagree with pretty much all of this statement. Homelessness has so many causes and one size fits many solutions are almost always impossible to conceive and implement.
Compound that with the labyrinthian nature of securing federal funds and, well, I'd say "super difficult" is a good way to describe it.

Can you suggest alternate, and equally or more accurate ways to describe what he's saying?

Don't get too offended. If you ever go to a city council meeting, you'll quickly discover that speed bump requests are the reason about 25% of the people are there.
I can only imagine it's gotten more pronounced since city police have taken traffic stops out of the equation.

We use to walk in and do a quick assess of the buffet. It was obvious when they were on their A game. Best buffet down there when they were on. Still probably the best when they weren't...but they had high highs.

Oops, that was for Human Gyroscope. I meant Kumari across the street. They were always my favorite. We ate at Nepal House, which was good. But it was scaled back and didn't have a great offering.
The_Waxies_Dargle t1_j72c7x5 wrote
I don't think they're still offering the buffet. I took my daughter over the summer and they only offered carry out off the menu. No buffet.

Do you think she/they deserve any punishment if they're found guilty of what they're charged with?
Do you think someone in her position should be held to a higher standard given that her professional credibility is predicated on legal competence?
Do you think our elected officials, who make the laws, have a moral obligation to understand and obey the laws they make?

I hear you and appreciate the reply. At the same time, purchasing vacation real estate as an investment property seems like someone who isnt totally clueless.
Also, that's 4X what our household brought in last year. We have a kid, we have middle age health problems, we have aging parents that eat up resources... so my sympathy / empathy only goes so far.
