Top comment Deletes a US State #45

Here is the updated (Correct) map, crisis averted. I thought we had a riot on our hands!

I can finally relax now after all that drama! Anyway Colorado is now deleted as it should be. Just to make it clear, editing comments is fine if it’s the top as long as it doesn’t change the outcome of which state gets deleted like we had before. I thought that was common sense but clearly not to some people.

I just want to thank everyone for all the kind comments and support. I try to read as many of the comments as I can but each post has a minimum of 2000 so it’s pretty hard most the time. I have some big ideas for the finale so stay tuned.

Most importantly, spread the word as much as possible if your state is still in the game! Share, cross post to rally as much support for your state as possible. This is the endgame now!

Update: I'm the Guy Who Fell In The Harbor

Figured I would share the video from my neighbors camera of the battery exploding.

Other updates, I feel fine, no sickness, disease, third arms, etc. The person who runs kareoke that I goto asked me if I fell in the harbor the second she saw me, which is kind of funny.

My backup bike.... somehow was leaking mineral oil from the front brakes... so I had to get that replaced. I went from 2 bikes to 0 bikes this week. But the shop fixed it and I should have that back today. So somehow its been a crazy week.

Also I plan to continue walking/biking along the harbor, I will just be more careful. I did look for ladders and the nearest one is a wooden one that may or may not support my weight, I didnt test it... yet. It was also in the thames point inlet that accumulates alot of trash. But once I get my kayak here I plan to go out on some free days and clean up trash because I hate seein it and maybe itll help be cleaner for the next person who falls in.

Finally, another shoutout to the people who helped me. Also the firefighters who had to see me twice that day, I hope I don't see yall im your professional capacity anytime soon... no offense.

Rehome bearded dragon

Recently had 2 babies and need to get rid of my bearded dragon. She’s about 4 years old and very fertile lol but i just don’t have time to care for her like i used to. Old picture to show her color she’s a decent size now pretty big but a girl so not as big as the males get. She used to have a companion he passed about a year ago and she honestly hasn’t been the same since which i assume is depression.
Anyone know where i can take her to be rehomed ?

Another feather to add to Baltimore's cap?

I just found a really interesting article which talks about a fairly recent scientific discovery and Baltimore sits right on top of it! It's called the Piedmont Resistor and it's basically a huge chunk of Pangaea.

When the supercontinent of Pangaea started to tear apart along what is now the east coast, magma flooded up through the crust and buried over a thousand mile strip of land under a 100 mile thick slab of volcanic rock. Some ended up under the newly forming Atlantic ocean, but apparently we're sitting on a large slab of that 200 million year old chunk of a lost continent!

Yeah, maybe it's not the Ravens, but it's pretty cool!

There's a little more technical article here:

Grandma Mona

Earlier today FedEx delivered a canvas print of my grandma who passed away a few years back. We ordered the canvas print for her seat at our wedding but somebody decided to take it from our doorstep. We would like her picture back but if you need her more you can put her up in your house.

Non-renewed BCPSS teachers

Anyone a current Baltimore city schools teacher who has been non-renewed for next year? Do you want to make a separate subreddit?. This is my situation and I’m honestly very upset about it. I love my job and think I was doing it well. I guess I’m looking for support and advice. And I’d also like to know who of the non-renewed teachers decided to resign and who did not do that.

Fells Point Water Utility Work Concern

I live in fells points near where they are doing all the water utility work as they work on replacing water infrastructure. My roommates and I recently noticed in the last two days, right before they began work in our area, that our water has been smelling like chlorine. Has anyone else in the area noticed this? Should this be a cause for concern?

WTF is up with MTA in the city? Is there anything we/I can to do to enact meaningful change?

It feels like every single day there is a new issue. Drivers not giving a shit about anyone or anything because our complaints go absolutely nowhere/end with the phone calls made to complain. Buses always running inexplicably late (or randomly super early) without any warning. Buses driving right past people at stops even if you're legitimately in the road trying to wave them down.

Is there anything that can be done besides calling transit info and complaining to a clearly overworked and underpaid worker who is just using corporate HR speak to make the issue go away but not having any plan to actually do anything about it. That much is obvious not only from their tone, their answers when asked "what happens after the complaint is filed" but mostly because nothing ever changes.

I unfortunately rely on the buses to get to the train to commute for work. Just this morning I checked google maps, the MTA website and the Transit app to make sure my bus was coming at it's normal range (can't even say time because it changes everyday now) and all three said it was. Until 5 minutes before it's supposed to be there, when all three suddenly update that it isn't coming for another 17 minutes. I'm walking to the stop (I live a mile away) and then 30 seconds after that (so 4 minutes before it originally said it was pulling up) it inexplicably pulls up. I have COPD and a broken spine so I can't exactly run but I went as fast as I could and when I get 30 feet from the bus, the driver shakes her head, closes the doors and drives off. I was actually already on the phone with MTA trying to figure out what the hell was going on so I immediately got the bus number and complained and again it's clear nothing will happen. Something like this happens seemingly every other day.

What can be done? If you have a pessimistic or nihilistic outlook on things, I gotcha, but please save your opinions to yourself.

Nearby camping with swimming hole?

Any favorite places to camp within 3 hours of Baltimore that have good swimming holes? Looking for a campground where we could do car camping, and take a good dip during the day, not so much in a lake like deep creek, but a true swimming hole.
