Dystopia is when car can't go zoom

I have never seen a job done so poorly. You can almost go airborn on some of the holes.

So my progression for running clothes:

65+: tank top, running shorts, regular running socks

50-60ish: short sleeve shirt, shorts, regular socks 50ish: short sleeve shirt, shorts, regular socks, BUFF

The following ranges start having options I'll swap around based on other variables such as: wind, humidity, duration of run, how long I might not be moving

40-50: short sleeve or light long sleeve (usually gets rolled up at some point), shorts with compression underwear, buff, ear muffs or second buff on ears, and light running gloves

35-40: long sleeve, light weight running wind breaker shorts, midweight 3/4 leggings (think basketball or HIIT categories), buff, ear muffs or running beanie, gloves, wool running socks

Sub-35: thermal long sleeve, possibly sorry sleeve with 3/4 zip top, wind breaker, buff, beanie, gloves, wool socks, thermal leggings, shorts

Key thing is finding what works for you. I've done stairs workouts in a mixture of thermals in 35 degrees. Then some dude visiting from Montana was shirtless in running shorts. So definitely experiment.

Something to keep in mind is you're dressing for the whole run. It can be easy to over dress when you first walk out the door and on that first mile. It might be good to plan runs that go by your house/vehicle/drop spot while figuring out what layers work best for you.

But definitely look into a buff/neck gaiter. Covering the neck can make a difference. Plus they are versatile for neck to head coverings.

My wife and I were just commenting that we noticed the scooters parked in the corrals more often. We used to laugh that the only place a scooter was never parked was in the corrals. Whatever you did, it seems to have worked. Can I ask, is BGE going to repave the streets in Fed Hill after they dug them up and did a laughingly bad job patching them up? Charles Street is a mess.

In the last one of these, they presented Harris Teeter as selling butter for almost twice the price of other grocery stores, but they compared a name brand at HT against house brands at the other stores. If you compared HT's house brand against Giant's and Safeway's house brands, HT was not any more expensive.

This was something I was able to fact-check on the stores' websites in less than 10 minutes. I even confirmed it in person the next day by going to my local Harris Teeter and buying butter. So I'm not sure they're interested in fair comparisons.

Sure, but it looks like nobody's enforcing those illegal strikes--almost every day I see at least one parked car with bad paper tags or a heavily tinted plate cover, and those should be immediately bootable by DOT. This isn't even specifically a Baltimore thing, there's been plenty written about it in Philly/NYC too, especially over the last couple of years.

FWIW, I'm not against more cameras (I walk and bike more than I drive, and I drive with that in mind), I just don't think they'll hit the most flagrantly bad drivers we see in the city these days.

I think I've just given up hope that Americans will ever be able to properly negotiate a roundabout.

The one in Towson isn't even complex and I still manage to see multiple people fuck it up badly every time I use it.

>I'm doing no such thing lol. We're in a thread talking about people who run red lights. One reason people run red lights is because they're waiting while there is no cross traffic. Breaking the rules a little bit leads to breaking the rules a lot which leads to the chaos we have in our roads today. The only thing that will stop that without better infrastructure design is impounding offending vehicles, because rich people don't give a shit about tickets and poor people can't afford to pay tickets.

I appreciate that you're not a car-brain. however, even busy places like Manhattan have people violating red lights constantly. it's not a question of whether or not there is cross traffic, it's that there are no consequences for breaking the rules, as you point out. though, I think you under-estimate how many people would fix their behavior if they were ticketed. certainly not everyone, but many.

That may be, but it's not an immediate public safety-of-others issue is what I was trying to convey. I had a good friend killed by a reckless driver, no friends killed by someone eating a candy bar.

Maybe ive become a baby back bitch, but if im running in the winter I have to wear a running mask. The cold air hurts the lungs hahah.

That maybe so, but then that’s another illegal strike against you if caught that will further bite you in the ass in court/legal fees. Tthat’s more money said person is going to have to shell out to the city/state.

> Why aren't cars speed limited to 80 mph? There is no road in the US where cars can go faster than that.

Unfortunately the cat's out of the bag on this one. Whoever limits first will be a massive safety hazard, not just to themselves but also to others. You must be able to match the speed of the other cars on the road, even if they're driving an illegal speed. Most deaths by speeding are more accurately described as deaths by speed differential, because they're a result of the speeding car encountering(and crashing into or losing control while avoiding) slower-moving obstacles. If all the cars on the road are going 70 in a 55, it's actually safest for everybody if you also match that speed, because then traffic is moving freely at a steady rate instead of lanes moving at different rates based on their slowest cars(and lots of slow-moving cars moving out of the slower lane into the faster lane).

To safely make your change, you'd need to shut down driving 100%, upgrade at least a critical mass of cars with this safety feature(you'd probably need to hit 90%+, to account for the statistical bias from people who don't normally go that fast suddenly driving their un-upgraded cars fast on the highway while they still can), and only then make it legal to drive again. That's...not going to happen. Not to mention the fact that speeders gonna speed, so you'd see people modding their cars to remove the limit immediately, and then we're right back to the status quo of there being a few cars out there that insist on driving 20+ faster than everybody else.

There are usually lots of runners around the harbor early in the morning

> you're assuming the goal of traffic timing is to maximize the speed of the people on the street.

I'm doing no such thing lol. We're in a thread talking about people who run red lights. One reason people run red lights is because they're waiting while there is no cross traffic. Breaking the rules a little bit leads to breaking the rules a lot which leads to the chaos we have in our roads today. The only thing that will stop that without better infrastructure design is impounding offending vehicles, because rich people don't give a shit about tickets and poor people can't afford to pay tickets.

I am 100% in favor of eliminating stupid car-centric design. I'd even support complete closure of most one-lane alleys to automobiles to provide protected pathways for bicycles and pedestrians. Making traffic signals work better for cars is not exclusive of fixing car-centric design. Better timing will benefit pedestrians and cyclists too. All the protected bike lanes in the world won't make for a safe cycling experience if cyclists have to cross intersections with bad timing and no sensors in a city where drivers are conditioned to run red lights.

Reddit prompts you to submit as a link or as a text post--if you submit as a link, it's the website link that appears in the sub feed with no text in the post, if you submit as text, you can put the link in the text, but in r/baltimore, the thread title link is to the thread itself (also, that's why there's no automod comment about the banner's paywall).

Also, z3 linked the duplicate post but yours was first, which is why the other was locked.

What are you a fucking cop? Get out of here.

More people are dying of candy bars (i.e. junk food) than of car accidents.

Tons of far right posts on the Next Door app. As far as I can tell most of those are in the Southern part of Baltimore County & AA County. As I will most likely move out of the City in 10 or so years I gave determined I will never head there.

And, not sure what you mean by this, either. I checked through the sub before I posted and didn't see a similar article. I guess I missed it?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'post as links' because it looks like a link in my browser. I can click it and it opens the article. I'm sorry that it didn't work for you.

Unless/until there's more of an effort to crack down on people using obviously bad/hidden tags, I think the main thing you'd expect to see from any big traffic camera effort is more bad/hidden tags.

As it gets colder I have some leggings with a light fleece on the inside, camisole and sweatshirt or fleece on top. Gloves that can work with a touchscreen, and earmuffs. I've been running through New England winters for years and this has always worked for me. I don't have special running shoes for ice although I probably should. I'm a big believer that running is for everyone and you don't need special gear. Just sneakers and warm clothes and get out there.

Those earmuffs that are wraparound with Velcro so you can make em a little looser around your head are perfect for putting around headphones so they don't smash them into your ears. I usually get a pair from the dollar store.

Scott makes a dollar and they make a dime…

For people who are against this because it's dystopian or won't help enough, what is your alternate solution for the dangerous/illegal driving behaviors that are constantly occurring around here? Or are we meant to just lie down and take it?
