On warning its automatic and doesn't work if the tire is really low. The tire person there might help.

Reply to comment by ChanceSiscoTheRapper in The Mall in Columbia will require chaperones for minors on weekends by f1sh98
Yes ... didn't really want to go here; but as a society kids are not being taught repercussions of bad behavior and at bit later when they get in real trouble. Its OK to steal, assault and trash peoples property and this behavior tends not to go away for a long time (if ever). And even if juvenile justice does get involved - there is no public visibility - so we really don't know if its working or not.

Possibly - also there are more kids who live nearby than there use to be. And weird shit did occassionally happen at the mall even in the 80s.
Also, main event seems to be problematic.

Yes, its also noisy at least the EC one is. Hopefully the remodel will fix that. I found the food always pretty good there - but haven't been in awhile.

Look weird stuff happens everywhere - but columbia is probably as safe as you are going to get in the area. Check our howard county crime bulletin - since we get very little info on whats going in the news in howard. https://www.howardcountymd.gov/police/newsroom#daily-crime-bulletin

If its your car in the video - just pay it and drive more carefully in the future. As I understand it the photo fines are just fines and don't give you points.

As long as its set up properly - where things like your car was stolen is taken in consideration and its not run like the crooks in easy pass run stuff. And it has a reasonable appeal process.

I am sure they will carefully hide the identity of the one POS they caught. He will probably get a slap on the wrist (like the POS who did donuts on the bay bridge), instead of attempted murder. And I bet he gets his car back and it barely affect his license; if he has insurance it will go up ... but BFD.

Second Edition is awesome - but I am pretty sure they do not accept textbooks. A couple of years ago - heard them tell somebody that.

Reply to just got approached by Arcadia door to door salesman. Is this a scam? by Extension-Jackfruit7
Yes, its probably a legal scam; many alternate energy suppliers basically promise you the moon (and actively lie to you) and you don't pay much less and probably more.

Howard has a few red light cameras - and in Columbia in particular; but its not bad. However, Montgomery has all sorts of traffic cameras.

We don't know the details and it is always possible that the kid unclipped it or was wearing it improperly. But yes ... wear your seatbelts.

Reply to Quietest neighborhoods good for kids? by BalancingAct247
BTW, the schools in Howard are good. Have a friends who kids went to one of the "problem schools"; his major complaint is the schools were on a list for the entire 10+ years for the school(s) to be rebuilt and they never did while his kids were there.

Reply to comment by spuriousfour in gas stoves in apartments by Ambitious_Noise7827
It heats much faster and you tend not to have to worry about cool down and you have better immediate control over the heat. Also if your electric goes out you have a cooking source.
Of course there are cons with gas as well - mainly its well EXPLOSIVE. However the intelligensia trend to bring climate change into everything is annoying.
[edit: I just happened to get a magazine talking about induction stoves; apparently the temperature control is really good on these. However, with old fashioned electric stoves my comment still stands]
