> not going to get a lot of qualified or appropriate candidates

Welcome to government work. There's a reason all the "real work" is done by contractors. Different buckets / colors of money.

Damn I'm gonna paste that to a FB friend who's currently stuck in Hawaii (and not in a good way).

I'm curious; what do you do with it? I know Philly used to dump it in the Schuylkill until they filled it up by accident and I think now they have giant melters.

Yes they ran in parallel for quite a few years.

> The insurance companies basically never pay the listed fee but instead pay negotiated fees based on their precedent with the facility.

My insurance company does that all the time for my wife's bloodwork. Latest EOB LabCorp claimed it cost $384 and the insurance said "fuck you here's $17."

> God created men, Col. Colt made them equal

I thought it was in Owings Mills; they have a huge complex there.

Cost of living is lower compared to what? NYC? Silicon Valley? Columbia is pretty darned expensive.

Black Ice happens a lot when the road is super cold and it rains. The pretreatment they spray helps a lot but it's really not a huge deal just let off the gas and ride it out.

When you know what you like to do...

They might need to wait until Spring for a real fix.

Is he? I'll have to check Spotify tomorrow.

Correction: Two Adam Sandler songs.

Yes, native plants FTW!

> a duck that I’m too old to ID

So over 50? ;) Darkwing Duck.

Be sure to salute them any time you go by. One finger for 45's single term, right?

Ugh yeah I went to a guy out in Severna Park or something years ago but don't remember any details to share. I just remember seeing the machine at Ace - it's kinda like one of the key making machines.

There's an automated system at Ace on Rt 40.

> I see the cop car or truck there every single day. It kills me that they are being used to babysit the people who do the squeegees instead of banning the practice and giving those guys jobs with the city.

##STOP COVERING IT UP

There have been "jokes" about "diddling altar boys" for at least fifty years and nothing was done about it for decades, except them shuffling the priests around if anybody found out. So much for that "moral authority."

(...and a friendly reminder that the Archdiocese of Baltimore is only one of three in this state!) And this is only the Catholics!

Encroaching on their living spaces and decades of Maryland screaming "guNS ArE Bad" so not enough hunting.

For some reason made me think of my write-up from last week.

I am curious about the long-term effects. Did it affect height, etc?

> there is 100% chance the loan will be sold

I disagree; this is if you go with a broker. My CU had on the paperwork the amount they sell (~2%) vs. keep.
