The comments on Citizen reports can be pretty terrible. But it seems to be moderated pretty well.

All this means is someone called 911 and reported they heard gunshots. As someone that lives in Baltimore, this happens ALL the time.

I always enjoyed the longer cut of Aliens. Where they show some of the life on the space station before the Aliens actually show up. I always found that whole backstory very interesting - but you only get very small glimpses of it in the

We used to run executable versions of Quake and Tribes off the Administrative share. No need to install. Just run .exe and it threw you into the LAN game.

My mom was a pianist and purchased a Yamaha diskclavier in the late 90s. One summer I was able to download the Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack to a floppy disk in MIDI format. Was then able to insert the disk into the diskclavier unit and the

Just visited France and it seemed all these people do is eat baguettes, sleep in, and work <20 hours a week.

If you're near Microcenter they always have a bunch in the checkout lanes. Always fun to browse. Plenty of Linux stuff last time I was there.

I don't think so. I'm definitely oversimplifying here...but at one point they literally employed 1000+ PhDs to just figure things out.

I once held a LAN party in my parents three car garage. In the middle of summer lol. Used Netgear 10/100 switches that we found dumpster diving in a tech park type area. My father (career engineer) even helped me run Cat 5E to the ga

That's great! Glad to hear it's still happening. Some of the best memories of HS and college :)

Attended a LAN party in Manassas, VA back in early 2000s. It was literally in a barn with 100+ people. No Internet as it was pretty rural. I don't think this would even be possible now with no LAN option in modern games.

I never totally understood the attraction to it. Come live here in Baltimore. Plenty of tech jobs and a nice home in the city will cost 300k.

I walk 20 mins every day to work in Baltimore and was slightly interested. But then I realized I'd rather just give someone my cell phone and wallet instead of a fight to the death with an umbrella..

Yup: https://www.shopdap.com/blog/post/service-schedule-for-mk7-a... Every DSG VW needs it at 40k interval.

Not sure. My father's Honda Pilot has a 9-speed German transmission. Service every 60k. Dealership wanted $900.

Purchased a brand new manual 2019 model in 2020. It will be the last stick vehicle I ever own sadly. Next car will probably take me to work while I sleep.

Another upside - much cheaper to repair and less maintenance. The DSG version of my VW requires transmission fluid flushes every 40k! These dual clutch systems are incredibly complex. My g/f's Acura has a 9-speed Automatic transm

Melatonin. Started with 5mg and now on 10mg. I used to read a LOT of politics/news before sleep. No more of that! Standing floor fan from Amazon for white noise. No caffeine after 12pm.

You also used to be able to plug in any standard docsis cable modem, change DNS, and you'd have free internet.

The commercials I see here for the DC/VA lottery are quite disgusting. I'm "kind of" fine with the state running it. But they should not be advertising on TV.

Living in Baltimore...a stolen car is a next level offense. Maybe it's justified? But it literally brings 10s of cops and a helicopter or two.

I swear every time I logged into LinkedIn in it was this guy at the top of my feed. Explaining how his company offered unlimited vacation or something similar.
