Thanks for posting this! I was just looking for something like this a week ago, great timing.

Reply to New foxtrot is now in the air by Douseigh
Because almost all flights broadcast ADS-B at this point (other than some military flights), if you want to be a geek and track the Baltimore police helicopters or any other flight, I recommend checking out an app like Flightradar24.
Kind of fun, although I am one of those kinds of geeks.

So that one occurrence is all the police have used helicopters for, for what, a few decades now? Ever?
Wow, they must have a lot of fun just flying around doing nothing 99.9999999999999999% of the time!

Sorry to hear that. There was a video of a pedestrian being killed just the other day by a high-speed driver plowing into the sidewalk.
It happens a lot.

Did you see the list of meetups in the article? There’s a bunch more like this, too!

Yup that’s one of the things I’m teaching myself. Any connection to the workshop would be most appreciated!

Yeah a ton!
One of them is even specifically geared to people learning algorithms if that’s something you’re working on - Syntax R Us

BBQ competitions, weird restaurants?

Are there any coding meetups? I’ve been learning myself, but it would be more helpful working with someone that actually knows what’s going on

Would you eat your pet when it dies? It's not the same thing. I've raised animals for slaughter before and it's not the same way I think of my pets.
*Just to add: a farmer also has hundreds of animals to look after, they don't develop the type of relationships I would imagine zoo keepers put in with all of the training and specialized 1 on 1 attention they get. Plus that has got to be a violation of alot of USDA rules and the endangered species act.

Every time someone says advocate for safer streets they say "except for this exception here" lol. This will make that block less safe for pedestrians. That's bad, and worse than any value add of inducing demand for a paltry few parking spots.

Reply to comment by tbk007 in Maryland’s second-highest court orders new hearing for Adnan Syed, reinstates conviction by Cody_in_Baltimore
Thank you. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
I honestly only know what I hear in the media, but I'm willing to admit that. So many people here 'know' he was innocent, somehow 'know' that the victim's family are somehow wrong and just the victims of the media, and now think they don't deserve rights.
It's a podcast. No one here is a cop, a prosecutor, the defense attorney, or knows the people involved. They heard Serial, don't trust the justice system and now because of those two things are assured that they know the truth and the young girl's family are somehow misinformed. Maybe everyone here should tell them to listen to Serial /s

I still don’t understand why that is morbid.
Now obviously the zoo isn’t doing this. Animals are on regimented diets.
But it’s not morbid at all. Farmers routinely eat the animals that they personally cared for. I get people like to think of meat as something from a factory but it had a face once. And I’m guessing most, if not all, of the lions’ diets consist of meat. The people who take care of them know that.

Yeah, this building is collapsing. And besides being old, I still haven’t figured out what, exactly, is “historic” and in need of preservation

They've left the Transportation flair, which makes us quite happy.

If you want to advocate for safer streets, go for it. The question at hand here is knocking down one single dilapidated house and replacing it with a parking lot. It’s not going to move the needle on pedestrian safety.

I looked through basically every transportation request option a bit ago when I put in a request that amounted to "please do something about how nobody uses the center lane of Gay St correctly". There's no option for "general shitshow", unfortunately, but there really should be.
