Previous comments are correct. Do not go to a shop. They are ripping off the teachers and many are dishonest. I say this as a teacher that has worked in shops. Find someone who has a degree, and plays the music you want to be able to play. If they try to teach you a song, ditch them. You don’t want to learn how to play songs. You want to be able to play YOUR music on the piano. Good luck! There are a ton of killing pianists in the area.

Hey there - I’ve wondered about the insurance too. I had to replace a sewer line in my last home (row home built in 1947) - roots had invaded the line and were causing lots of issues & backups in the basement (washer backing up when it drained). The replacement was all exterior - so to answer your question about interior lines - the company that did our sewer line didn’t touch anything on the interior. That doesn’t mean that roots and other problems can’t still get into the interior too.

What I’d recommend first is to hire a plumber to run a camera line through your sewer line - they usually do this through a clean out in the basement or may have to remove a toilet to do it if you don’t have a clean out in the interior. It is not all that expensive & they’ll be able to tell you what if any problems you are going to be facing. Then if indeed there is an issue waiting to happen you can make the judgement on the sewer line insurance. Before we bought our current house during the home inspection phase I hired a plumber to come out and run the camera through the sewer lines and luckily they didn’t find any problems- but it was well worth it knowing what’s going on in there!

Ask your current insurance company about adding coverage. My company offers service line coverage which includes water, sewer, natural gas, electric, cable etc.

So this is embarrassing. Turns out someone staying here set off a smoke detector right after the amber alert came in. Which is what woke us all up. So yes, my phone was on DND. It wasn't the Amber Alert that woke me, but a smoke alarm, which I thought was the AA, which is why I found it intrusive.

Anyhow, I'll take my lumps for a shitty hot take. And yes, if it was my child, I'd want the world to stop. I was under the impression the smoke alarm in my house was the amber alert.

Me = moron.

Love it too. Great experience.

If you're ever in North Jersey and craving Rodizio, Newark has a couple restaurants that'll give you an authentic experience. Fogo is garbage in comparison.

There's a couple in NYC that are amazing as well, especially around the holidays when they have seasonal items.

Whoa! I noticed what appears to be a bird nest, but I didn't notice the skull! I'll take another look to see if I can get a better photo of the skull. I imagine that it's a foam prop...

That makes no sense, I volunteer with people in mental health crisis, one of my neighbors advocated for the federal law. This specifically has nothing to do with Baltimore County police, tying it to the police department or making it seem as if it is police sponsored is counterproductive. I wrote nothing about taking credit, please read my comments again.

...lmao tell my friend in bumfuck Texas they didn't get their packages stolen the other week. Go on, tell them.

Stop being a dense turkey sausage.

It’s real. It was on my neighbor ring cam too. He got caught within 15 minutes because he was on several peoples cams and obv the police can find someone dressed as Santa pretty quickly

Not an ideal solution. There are certainly alerts you might want to get at 4:30am - weather related, as an example. If a very active storm is producing a ton of tornadoes and is heading my way I want to know about it. Or some sort of riot broke out. Because I will take action upon this information at 4:30 am.

But there’s other stuff that isn’t helpful at 4:30 am. I’m not hopping out of bed and looking for a car, just like EVERYONE on here. But if I got in the car at 5:00 am it would be helpful to receive a notification then, even if it’s delayed.

This is Reddit, which is representative of people in real life. Everything is black and white and nuance that doesn’t absolutely follow the circle jerk is blindly downvoted. How many people who upvoted these comments actually thought about it like that?

I know I totally hop out of bed at 4:30 am and join the search party with my neighbors. Or at least commit the plate number to memory, then go back to bed for a few hours, and perfectly recall the plate when I leave the house 5 hours later. Just like everyone here upvoting… right people?

Whoa. Had not seen that. 😮

For the downvoters, I'm pretty sure the poster is being sarcastic.

100% this. You want to maximize the signal to noise ratio. Otherwise, like you said, people will just turn them off and then they’ll never get the notifications at all. People fast asleep at 4:30am are useless in a vehicle search. It’s strictly negative value to notify them.

It's always a Kia Optima.

This is the best answer here: use this as an opportunity to refine how these alerts are issued and handled - not just because you don't wake up half a million people in the middle of the night, but because by figuring out how to target the alerts to those devices owned by people in the best position to do something about it, instead of being a nuisance, the alerts are helpful and people don't just go into their settings and turn them all off.

I lived in the Ralston neighborhood (behind Mr. Chans) until this year. That place was my go-to but the place went way downhill during the pandemic. Their kid (like seven years old) was taking orders and processing payments. My orders started having errors, my credit card was double-charged, and my credit card was charged for the wrong order.

The food became oily and lacked the flavor I used to enjoy. I ended up going to Jumbo Seafood because the food is just better, albeit a bit higher in price.

Thank you

Thanks, do you know what is it called?

Thanks

Thanks

Thank you, will check it out

Thanks

Seriously. I want to be alerted if ya know, a tornado is rolling though at 4:30am. That same alert for a missing child multiple counties away from me seems a little questionable. I feel for the kid/family but nothing I can do at 4:30am. Hope they find the kid safe and healthy.
