MLB is blocked on it.

$70 a month for direct tv with the sports package. That’s unreasonable for someone that doesn’t watch live TV and buys $100 streaming services a month. I just want to watch the games. I would buy a just MASN app or streaming package. I just don’t want to pay for something I won’t use.

If someone says that to you, call them a dummy then hail for a hack. When the hack gets there, slowly walk across the street in the middle of approaching traffic to get to it, then have them just sit there with their flashers on in front of an open space. Yell out to your tormentor “OH say does that star spangled banner yet wave” as you pull off, waving. Get out at the next light, walk back down toward them whistling using the street instead of the sidewalk and when you’re within earshot say in a menacing voice “You come at the king you best not miss…”

I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!

I don’t mind paying I just don’t want to have to buy a cable package and the Verizon option isn’t available in my area.

Yeah. I think that’s the only way.

Dear diary...

I would guess some kitchens in the US have come to use these terms more loosely. Traditionally the word stage comes from the French “stagaire” which means apprentice or intern. Many famous chefs got their start begging to work for free in well known kitchens to gain experience or a future position.

A trail is more of a brief working audition. The purpose is to showcase your skills and ability to perform in the kitchen where you are seeking employment.

So you’re letting other people dictate your identity?

So you haven’t been immersed in the city, and it wasn’t your call. Maybe move to the city and get more Baltimorean?

Don’t talk about it, be about it.

Me 4

I live in White Marsh, my address says Rosedale, and I tell people I live in the Baltimore area. When I get asked where I’m from I say Maryland. If they want more specifics I say I’m from the Eastern Shore of Maryland. My family has lived there since the 1660’s. I will always be an Eastern Shoresman. It’s who I am no matter where I live.

If you’re a Baltimorean at heart then let that be good enough. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone. Just be you.

Doesn't help with blackouts

So why does this person get to tell you where you’re from? It’s not up to them. YOU can own your identity. Don’t let someone else own who you are.

I had a convo the other day with someone who was actually from the city, and started gatekeeping and saying I wasn't "city" enough to tell others I was from it

(Most people where I am rn don't really know the state beside it so i just say im from there, otherwise if theyre from md i say howard)

That’s a mental hangup. You are the only one that can name what is important to you and you can decide your identity. It’s not something that can be, or even needs to be, fixed. It’s all in how you perceive yourself.

If you want to identify as someone “from” Baltimore, what is stoping you?

That highway ramp is 1) very small; 2) off of Calvert Street; 3) not well-used; and 4) not a problem.

It’s not different from what I originally said, but for some reason all of you chose to think I put in nearly a month of work for some app where my coding assignments were used in production which really happens far less often than some of the hiring horror stories suggest.

While that does happen some of the time, it’s not common practice. I get it though, the downvotes are just projections of insecurities bcz jealousy causes weird reactions.

Collective care actually is very punk rock. So. Sorry.

This is a whack take. I buy merch, have a flex package, food and drink at the stadium. I shouldn't have to pay to watch them play on TV. That's what advertising is for.

For the 5G home internet providers (Verizon and T-Mobile), that's going to be a solid "It depends." That's probably why they're both non-contractual and have no-cost return windows, so it doesn't hurt to try.

It depends mostly on the coverage level in your area. For both, but especially for the Verizon offering, it can also depend on where you place it in your house.

Verizon's service can use Ultra Wideband 5G (Which is the "Real" 5G we were promised starting back in like 2018) which can churn out some insanely fast connections. But it's super limited in range, really struggles to connect inside houses, and is deployed mostly in the mass affluent neighborhoods in the city (Canton, etc).

T-Mobile's service is much more widely available and has much longer range, but suffers from slower speeds, congestion issues during busy parts of the day, and high latency. Good enough for your general internet use most of the time, but online gamers would not last long with it.

Bot T-Mo and (iirc) Verizon's networks are based on IPv6, which is the future of the internet but still has some possible mild compatibility issues these days.

Thought that was a west coast thing?

At least the crappy Masn app now allows Xfinity... I was able to stream spring training games away from my home on mobile network.

This is a beetle.

Scanner 5-0 app. It's free but pay the $5 and go pro. Easy interface and ability to store favorites all over the country.
