Oh nice, thanks! the only thing I’d found that looked similar were Native American stone game balls but that seemed unlikely. All the concrete is gone—I replaced it with pea gravel over landscape cloth and planting beds. Stuff still sometimes comes up when it rains (mostly marbles, glass, ceramics, and plastic clothes pins).

https://mobile.southwest.com/html/contact-us/intl-customer-service.html in an article on cnn it suggested to call southwests international number for faster response https://www.cnn.com/travel/amp/flight-cancellations-christmas-2022-winter-storm/index.html

Call Saul Goodman

Chris Rock did the Lyric this year .... shortly after the Oscars.

Don’t call BARCS- call Animal Control. They will take it to BARCS if they seize it.

This probably is due to the bitter cold. That can wreak havoc with rail causing it it crack when the train comes over it.

Man I forget that Baltimore even has a subway. If you need to get from no where in the city to no where in the county in the skeezist way possible

There was an r/outoftheloop thread that had some good information:

> Quote in case the post gets removed/edited:

> On behalf of all employees: WE ARE SORRY! I will give it to you straight- this meltdown was caused entirely by Southwest. It was triggered by the storm, but the failure to recover quickly is on Southwest 100%. If you are still hearing “weather” almost a week after the storm, it’s not true. > Couple main points: > 1. ⁠Please be patient with us. We desperately want to do everything we can to get you where you’re going. > 2. ⁠This shitstorm is because the crew scheduling software went belly up and it almost all has to be unraveled over the phone with crew members calling scheduling. If we had better technology which eliminated the need for phone calls, this would have been fixed by now. > 3. ⁠If you are able to find alternative transportation to your final destination- DO IT. Another airline, bus, train, Lyft, rental car, ANYTHING. Southwest WILL NOT be able to get you to your destination anytime in the next few days. > 4. ⁠Like I said, it’s gonna take at least a week to get back to normal operations for Southwest. If anyone has questions, I will try to answer them. I work ground ops at one of SWA’s hubs. > EDIT FOR FAQs——

> 1. ⁠Checked bags are currently a disaster. Plan to not see your checked luggage for at least a month. In the interest of 100% transparency, some bags will be 30+ days lost in the system.

> 2. Will my flight for X date go out? Next 3 days- plan on a cancellation. 4-7 days- likely to go as scheduled. 7+ days- should see operational recovery.

My own edit: I think this was tweeted Monday, so the 3 day cancelations likely refer to Dec 27-29, but again this is only one persons expectation

Call BARCS. They’re more likely to get involved peacefully and try to make a better life for the dog.

They’re not always able to - a small organization - but they do their absolute best to respond to complaints of abandoned or abused animals and will take them in to be cared for.

It’s too cold for pets to have to go through this. 😔

Right. I’d rather spend that money cooking something that I know will be delicious. Plus drinking at home is 1000x better than being out on NYE. 😂 Maybe I’m just old.

Tell her to read the contract she signed. Before signing would have been better, but read it now. It will say what the penalty for breaking the lease is, usually a few months rent to offset the landlord's cost of turning it over. If she just stops paying and moves, the landlord can come after her for the remaining total cost of the lease she signed, likely through the courts if it comes down to that. Unless the "aren't what she was expecting" conditions are code violations or otherwise things that deprive her of use of her apartment she doesn't have much recourse if it's just buyer's remorse. But if it's negligence on the landlord's part- poor maintenance, etc- then document everything, the city has an escrow process for serious maintenance issues, you can find info online on this; or get a lawyer's advice on pursuing it through small claims court.

Volunteering is always a good way to meet like minded good people. I met all my best friends in life volunteering or through work/school tbh. There’s a harm reduction place called SPARC in pigtown and they are about to restart the volunteer days/training in January so I definitely recommend you check it out!

Hope no one got hurt

Oh really? The little bars are clay marbles. Is the concrete still up?!

they see me rollin…

Thank you. I'll contact them and update how it went. I hope they can get this dog inside as well.

That's so horrible. Poor little dude. I hope he gets saved as well.

I have a 1200lb clamp magnet (single mag), 3500lb 360 magnet , and 4250lb double sided magnet (two 2125 magnets)

The best one so far is the Boss 360 from Brute Magnetics, https://brutemagnetics.com/?ref=salvagearc

Is that the third rail in the front of the picture? Wow. Hopefully, it was de-energized before they departed the train.
