Assuming you're looking to rid your house of the little f**kers. So, google "advion cockroach gel bait" and put a thin line of the stuff in every crack and crevice of your kitchen and other places you've seen them.
I fought a two year battle to purge my house of the little shits after some dirty neighbors moved next door to my rowhouse and brought 'em in their moving boxes. This stuff finally did the trick of eliminating 'em once and for all. I took about two weeks and in eight years they haven't come back.

Make a small obstacle course with paper clips, number 2 pencils, etc. and play Entry of the Gladiators. Optionally have a notepad and stopwatch handy for your findings.

I’m sure you aren’t talking about like pizza/sub shops but a lot of them still do delivery with doordash/Ubereats
ETA it should have said a lot of them still do delivery WITHOUT UberEats and DoorDash

Evict it. If it don't make 3x the rent and can't pay security deposit and first and last month's rent, it can't be your roomie.

Cutting through the parking lots of the stadiums should be fine since thousands will be doing a similar walk. I'd opt for looping around the right side (downtown/inner harbor side) of Camden yards.

I’m talking about people merging in front instead of merging behind. That’s it. Nothing more, nothing less.
People speed up to stop people from cutting them off, there, that’s it, nothing more to say other than that. If someone is speeding up, stay in your lane and just merge behind them.
After rereading your scenario, why would you merge in front of a car while they are in your blind spot?

From a sidewalk accessibility standpoint it’s not great. Sidewalks can be very uneven and not always marked appropriately as well as shrink to impractically small size near curbs/stoops/planters in certain neighborhoods or street sections. I have noticed that a lot of the neighborhood corner stores where I am located are walk-up (no stoop or single/double entrance step) but can be small/tight inside for maneuvering. I do not have much info on public transportation and ease of use there.

That's a very "look what you made me do" mentality. Also, I have no idea what you're trying to describe here.
I'm describing a situation in which the vehicle to the left is not in front of the merging vehicle, but behind around the blind spot. As the vehicle to the right begins to change lanes, the courteous thing for the driver on the left to do is absolutely not speed up, it is to maintain speed and allow the driver to merge.

> Yet, others have plenty of problems with Xfinity. I’m sure some of it, probably a majority, is user error.
Everyone reading this: This is 100% true, and in my experience it mostly comes from the conflation of "WiFi" and "Internet" that people make. As you said, WiFi and Internet are two separate things. Anyone who is having complaints with their Xfinity download speeds should definitely reassess their router/wifi situation.
There are definitely problems with lots of coax installs in the city, but Baltimore's Xfinity coax deployments are - for the most part - pretty modern and robust. We're actually supposed to be one of the initial markets for multigig and DOCSIS 4.0, which will be a pretty huge evolution - so much so that consumer electronics are mostly not even ready for it yet.
But having said all that, there are also loads of old amps and out-of-spec splits that have been installed and forgotten over the years. If your service is spotty and you're confident with your in-home setup, it's worth asking Xfinity to send a tech to check your SNR. If you often have problems when the weather is bad, ask them to inspect the housing and installations of amps/splits to make sure water isn't causing issues, etc.

FWIW Verizon has 5G service in lots of neighborhoods - and they offer 5G home internet over it. Baltimore is, oddly enough, one of the only places in the world that has real UWB 5G coverage (The super 5G). If you've noticed weird pods on top of lampposts and poles popping up over the past year or two, that's what those are.

Again, whenever people fight over a lane, it’s because some vehicle sped up trying to merge in front instead of just merging behind. So in turn, second vehicle speeds up so that doesn’t happen.
See the chain reaction here? If you didn’t speed up trying to pass, the car you were trying to pass wouldn’t of sped up to close the gap.

I agree that you’ll most likely be invited to join a team. Baltimore is friendly!
