Reply to ATV noise next door: what to do? by [deleted]
So I can comment about this, as I had a neighbor run a generator in their yard for over a week after they failed to pay the electrical bill.
You are pretty much SOL during daylight hours, unfortunately. The only time the after hours effect comes into play is after 10 PM, and at that point the police have to measure the sound from a specific distance from your house with a calibrated instrument.
So unless they run them after 10PM, there's not much you can do from any authorities.

Reply to Where to take Golf lessons? by acedelaf
Yes the CA golf courses are a great way to get started at an affordable price. Fairway Hills also has a Green League in the spring summer and fall that’s a great way to get time on the course with others at the beginner skill level, I highly recommend it.
A more expensive option is GolfTec in Ellicott City and they are a good way to refine your game as they have ways to video your swing so that you can work on specific things.

I used to like Trattoria years ago, but then they changed their recipe somehow and it wasn't as good

The best NY style pizza in Columbia is the Waterloo pizza at the Exxon on LPP.
Lots of other good stuff too

Yeah, I've been wondering about mold related allergies with all the rain we've been getting lately.

Reply to How’s Columbia for Allergies? by Healith
Depending on what you're sensitive to, generally springtime is rough - the pollen gets very bad and I need to make sure that I start taking allergy meds in late February.
Summer through winter is fine for most.

Reply to comment by DavidHobby in NEED HELP, road rage incident- got a gun pulled on me and got cut off multiple times on 175 and swerved out of control into a ditch near thunder hill by [deleted]
Great. I've been here for 20.
I've seen a lot of bad road behavior here in Columbia in this "post pandemic" world. People drive the way they want without consequence, and I've seen a lot of egregious driving in broad daylight, so something like this late at night would not surprise me, given how Columbia is today.
And given OP's engagement in the thread, it would seem to indicate that they want productive feedback. Which your comment absolutely was not.

David, sometimes it's better not to even reply. Not sure why you wasted the energy to type that, as OP was asking a legit question

But it was still part of the evolution of the show.

I'd argue Jamie Farr's Max Klinger from MASH is a great example of this.
Started out as a guy trying to be crazy to get out of the Army, ended up being the company clerk and getting a promotion to Sergeant by the end of the show.

Reply to comment by sm04d in why do series shows always have so many seemingly random people directing every episode? by OctoberRust13
Yep, showrunners are usually EPs and keep the continuity across a series where a director is focused on a specific ep.
Sometimes those overlap but not often. Or we see limited series with one director across all the episodes.

Yep it's a logistics play. The director is the manager of the episode and they need to be involved in all stages, so on a weekly drama they have a particular schedule to keep. Everyone has their jobs but the manager has to rotate out.

I wish I had kept on top of airport flight patterns. It's gotten really bad in the last 10 years. Columbia is literally in line with the western runway for takeoffs/landings. It makes Columbia REALLY noisy.

The noise ordinance is only for certain situations and mostly at night.
I had a bad neighbor running an extremely loud generator less than thirty feet from my bedroom and the police couldn't do anything unless it was a)after 10 PM, I think, and at a certain decibel level measured by the police's calibrated equipment.
I feel for you. Columbia can be a freaking noisy place.

Oh they are finally moving forward with this! That’s what the intention of the space was for when they opened this Wegmans years ago, but they’ve just been using it mainly for storage since. Looking forward to the new place.

Reply to Mansion in Covenant Park by bigjd7
I have to wonder why anyone would build that large of a mansion almost directly beneath one of the loudest flight paths in the area? I'm sure the house is wonderful, but I just can't deal with the air traffic around here, and that's right near where they come in to the eastbound BWI approach path from the north.
