It was 15 total technically. 13 penetrated. Two hit the ground right in front of me and flattened out, and spent just enough energy to not penetrate. One hit my thigh which already took 6 rounds and the other hit me in my right arm pit. I woke up a week later and still had a softball sized mound of purple and black flesh that took a drain installed and over a month to go down. It about dislocated my shoulder. And that was the least of my injuries. It was a .40sw Taurus handgun copy of a Glock like cops use. Stolen out of the county. I'm almost there. I'm still in a wheelchair but doing ok considering I died on the way to shock trauma, lost 6 of the 10 units of blood in the human body, and had 16 hour marathon surgery to save me. I hold the record at shock trauma for surviving the most large caliber handgun rounds, according to my doctors. I'm a tough old bastard lol

Nah nah there’s good stuff. The Senator, zen west, clandestino, Swallows, Heritage smokehouse. I get that walking in the middle of the night alone down by like woodbourne might feel a little sketchy but everything from Full Tilt going north is fine. Also the city link red runs along there 24/7 so that’s always an option if you feel uncomfortable walking. Idk just my 2 cents

I love the Maryland Curiosity Bureau podcast.

"Debunked" - yet your first link literally describes it as a valid condition.

> And if, say, 10% is the headline number for the increase in pay, then 10% is an excellent focal point for price increases, even though overall costs haven’t risen that much. So prices may rise just as much as pay, sending the wage-price spiral into overdrive.

Your second article talks more about how it isn't ethical for workers to sacrifice themselves to stop inflation (inherently agreeing that the wage price spiral is real), and the third article is more of that. These aren't debunking the wage price spiral. They are just saying it isn't the most important thing out there.

The wage-price spiral is real. It isn't the only thing driving inflation, but it is driving inflation. We've literally seen this. It isn't a debate. Wages go up, prices go up (because the employer isn't eating those costs: it's passing them on to the consumer). Then wages go up to match the prices that went up. Hello 1970s and 1980s. Eventually it stopped so it isn't an infinite spiral (no duh!) - but the impact is tangible and real, and history shows it clearly.

Putting absolute knowledge into a bunch of economists is foolhardy. How many economists were agreeing with Jay Powell that inflation was "transitory" in 2021? No large scale mass of PhDs contested it. They largely agreed with him! Yet they were all wrong.

It sucks, but something has to break in the next few years. Asset prices, interest rates, employment, wages, government deficit spending, dollar strength, international markets - something has to give. Inflation won't until there is actual pain to stop it.

I feel like there's nothing else there. I mean, Belvedere square is nearby, but that area is a little too sketch for me to want to wander around while drinking through 2 blocks of nothing. And belvedere is pretty much just daytime.

Compared to other breweries which are either big (Union) so need to be isolated, or in the center of neighborhoods (Ministry, Nepenthe)

I am a biker .... dirt biker as a kid in Baltimore City and grew up to ride bikes on the roads.

I can almost guarantee you that, you could build the best off road dirt bike area in the city, but the illegal riding would continue. Not every would have access to this new area, as it would be illegal to ride there.

I remember one BCPD officer who caught us coming out of the woods alongside Nortwood Elementary School said .... " don't you dare let me catch you riding that bike on the street, I do not even want to see you sitting on it, coasting down the street. Now push that bike home! "

I had just come out of the woods, hit a bump and got some air when I saw the cop car. He motioned me to come over, and started the encounter by saying .......

" Now tell me you were NOT riding that bike out of the woods! " I knew he was being real cool and was going to give us a break.

Yes. EVen though I am not a fan on exposing he brick, I noticed that from the floor up, the plaster has been disintegrating in my basement. Where ever the plaster has turned to sand, so has the mortar. When I chipped off the remaining plaster, to re-point, I found the mortar good and hard. When I repointed the lower section, the upper old mortar stays good.

Could go up to Ruxton and Greenspring Valley and do a stop at John Brown Coffee or Velocinno, head back on Falls Rd and take Bellemore up to Roland. Easily get 2 to 3k climbing there. Baltimore Bicycle Works does a route similar to this Thursday night during spring and summer.

You can park in Woodberry and immediately hit a hill in either direction, or anywhere around the reservoir/safety city/baseball fields. The disc golf area I would recommend against as parking is tight as is.

Idk what you wanna hear fam. The culture of the dirt bikes in our city is one of gangs and kids without families to support them.

Do I wish that wasn’t the case? Yes, but giving these kids a dirt bike track wouldn’t solve the problem of systematic racism and lack of opportunity for these people.

But go ahead, keep thinking I’m racist, have a great day!

Probably Kim. She was so manic the last time we were there, it was bugging us out tbqh lol

Sorry, no. I have been doing it myself. I have read a lot and practice on the basement walls. Its relaxing and I only do about a 36"square at a time.

Agree on the food comment but I liked the location. York has a good stretch of stuff goin on and I liked having a brewery there

You still have a security issue. Are we paying the BPD to manage it?

Also a weird location with mediocre food.

Not too surprised, their beers are meh and the barcade vibe they had going on has been usurped by Peabody.

If only there was a hint in the name

The city absolutely has the ability to support that many breweries (and off the top of my head is pretty close to that number if not exceeding it) but at this point they do at least need to have fairly good beer and be well-run.

We’re past the days of a brewery just needing to exist and being able to charge 7 bucks a pint for mediocre beer because of the novelty of them being a brewery. If you don’t have good beer, you’ve got to have good food, or a really unique location like Ministry, or something, because there are other breweries nearby now.

The brewery industry is going to become more like the restaurant industry where it’s competitive enough that it’s important to actually be good. The consensus (and my own opinion) was that Full Tilt just wasn’t very good.

Yikes. I have a hard time believing that particular batch was brewed as intended, but who knows? I once had a berry sour at a brewery in Frederick, and the dominant flavor was metal. I informed the staff, thinking that maybe there was some issue with their kegs or their lines. Their response was, "Oh, no, that's how it supposed to taste." Coincidentally, they also shut down within a couple of years.

The way this sub selectively chooses to use or not use the word NIMBY is fun to watch.

Is there a Samsung/Android version of Apple AirTag?

As someone who grew up north of hunt valley I agree with this, there are lots of beautiful roads to ride on up that way. However I’d stress that many of these backroads do not have shoulders much less bike lanes or have blind curves so please please be careful, especially on more of the main roads with traffic but no shoulder. I realize that cars are supposed to yield to bikers but I’ve seen too many near misses growing up. So please use caution, and yes this is equally applicable to the bikers and car drivers out there.

Nor was their food. Was really disappointed as I was living at Calvert and Chase when they opened and was looking forward to good beer and food. Unfortunately it provided neither.
