Can I expand this question to bagels? New to the area, and bagels/pizza are tricky sometimes.

You’re telling me! That’s why I’m asking the internet for help.

Reply to U.S. hospitals are required to publish their prices for medical procedures now, so my friends and I collected around 2 million prices from 33 hospitals in Maryland and created a search engine where anyone can see how much they may be charged.

Good job, thanks for putting in the effort 👍🏾

Since we're sorta talking about shooting people, I assumed folks would understand I meant you can't shoot a guy for stealing your TV...since LOTS of folks assume gun ownership = you can shoot a guy for stealing your TV.
But yes, you're correct on all points. Hell I even carried renters' when I was dating-but-living-with my then-boyfriend, because his homeowners' would not cover my stuff and renters' is cheap as heck.

No amount of tits and beer can make jury duty somewhat bearable.

I don’t think it beats the thread in r/researchchemicals where a guy was experimenting with taking several novel psychedelics via his urethra (he called it doofing), but it’s up there

This is a good idea. Still, I hope to learn from an economist, why, in America only hospitals and colleges go against the economy norm for any industry, where greater size equals lower consumer cost.

Reply to Parking garages permits by sentimentalfeelings
Just moved here and went through the same parking ordeal. Symphony garage is $130 a month and probably the cheapest garage you’ll find, depending on where in Mt Vernon it may or may not be too far for your preference. If you keep your eyes peeled, rental property companies will post parking spots behind homes available for rent and they can be cheaper. I snagged one for $95 a month. It’s okay as a backup spot but in the week and a half I’ve moved here I’ve only used it twice and I’ve left the house nearly everyday. I say it’s only okay because it’s actually a tough parking spot to get into (very small lot with other cars that park like a-holes). Otherwise I’m able to find parking on the streets without too much trouble.

Have you been to Dutch Courage? They offer venue buyouts and it would be a spectacular spot to host your dinner! The menu is always amazing, the staff is great, and the drinks are always so fun!

There needs to be a middle ground between SYG, which can enable people to provoke conflict, and DTR, which empowers criminals to carjack and do other evil deeds (SYG doesn't apply to vehicles IIRC). You need only look to California and a few other locales where extreme theft is occurring with little to no deterrence. Folks will say, "it's just property and property can be replaced." They ignore the ripple effect of increased insurance premiums, increased cost of goods, and thieves - facing no consequences - just doing it again and again.
A good middle ground would be the state being less aggressive with personal ownership of less than lethal solutions.

It’s common to expand into nyc and LA for executive offices / prestige and maintain less expensive locations for staff and operations in other cities. It wouldn’t surprise me if they kept the Baltimore office.

Problem with duty to retreat is it places some of the responsibility for the situation on the victim, despite the victim doing nothing to create the situation in the first place.

Honestly I am always with my family. I have a 2year old son and a daughter due in February. Although of course I’d love to avoid any violent encounter in their presence, justified or not. Me having the obligation to turn my back on an attacker and attempt to flee with my children does not sit right with me. I’m from the hood so my situational awareness when out is top tier if I pull my pistol I have a damn good reason. The thought of not being able to stand my ground WHILE my wife gets the kids to safety seems asinine to me.
A little story to accompany my opinion. I have a buddy who’s into real estate so he had his ccw for years. About a year and a half ago he goes to go check out a potential investment. He gets out of his car and walks toward the property. As he’s getting closer a guy comes out of an alleyway with a ski mask, hoodie on with his hands inside the hoodie pocket. Apparently the dude is walking straight towards him staring but also glancing at the surroundings. Now he tells me his antennas immediately go up because whose wouldnt. He says he didn’t want to unholster because he didn’t want to run the risk of appearing to be the aggressor to any potential witnesses and he wasn’t 100% percent sure if his intentions but in my mind I’m like fuck I’d probably come off the hip at that point. Not saying I would’ve started shooting but once I confirm a threat. Im willing to do whatever to make it back to my babies. You can feel when your being targeted if you pay attention. Anyway the dude ending of announcing a robbery my homie told me he complied with everything he said (don’t know how true that is, I wasn’t there) the guy ended up shooting my buddy 5 times. A women was near by heard the shots, saw him bleeding out and was able to provide aide until help arrived. He survived thankfully. Now I’m not saying SYG could have changed the outcome of that situation but to me DTR handicaps us a little too much.

Ovenbird in Little Italy is my favorite. I don’t think olive bread is on their regular menu but I feel like I’ve seen it there before on occasion.
