Absolutely hate Five Guys. Greasy, overpriced.. with the worst fries.. the overwhelming smell of the peanuts (oh and that one time I had food that tasted like it had been cooked in rancid oil). There are many better burger options out there for sure. Roy is still missing. The FBI raided his home this morning. I suspect the wife and the lawyer know more than they are telling.

Mrs. McGrath has been found. Roy is still on the run though.

So umm, can we recover it before they do?

Have you seen this guy? Roy McGrath is not a good person. While working for former Gov. Larry Hogan, he stole money from MD taxpayers to live a lavish lifestyle with his wife. He stands accused of wire fraud, theft, and many other charges including wiretapping Larry, many other elected officials (for reasons we are not yet sure why but perhaps blackmail?), and forging Larry's signature and memos to make him the beneficiary of a sweet sweet payout. Roy and his wife surrendered their passports and weapons and were not deemed a flight risk. Clearly we underestimated them. We don't know if Larry actually knew what was going on. He says he was just shocked by it all and has no idea why someone who worked very closely for him for a long time would do this. We would like Roy to come back to court so we could find out though! So if you see him and his wife, hiding on a boat in FL, or elsewhere in the country do let the US Marshals know. https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/politics-power/roy-mcgrath-B2QKSFW22BHMZKAFQP2XA5DB5E/

The old rust bucket car got it's catalytic attempted to be stolen.. well technically, the thief couldn't get it off but damaged under there so badly it needed to be replaced anyway. My dad's got stolen twice in one year. There are basically shopping centers around these parts it's no longer safe to leave your vehicle parked. It's really bad here. They always say park in a well-lit area... dude they are doing it in broad daylight!

Hearing that this bank was holding money for a big payroll company so now people at big firms (saw it was some tech and biohealth tech) aren't going to get a paycheck.

Yep. Since this story broke other individuals have come forward with conversations they had with him on their pages. They all thought it was odd he would use his government account, but were encouraged he was so positive towards them (some thought it was a hacked account but since the communication continued for years they didn't know what to think)? He seemed to enjoy drag cabaret acts, and complimented several performers on their beauty. A brief interview with him today did not go well. I hope at nearly the age of 80, he can be true to himself one day and learns not to use government accounts for his 'activities'.

She seems... nice. I hope the husband gets out of this mess. This woman is an insufferable embarrassment. She's received a lot of pushback on her piece, and then followed up with an additional article complaining she was now being body shamed for no longer looking like she did when she was young.

The LT Gov. has presided over bills against LGBTQ people in public for his administration, but in a different sort of public and using his official accounts he has commented regularly on young gay men's accounts in a favorable and often flirty manner. The gentleman in this case says he has known the Lt. Gov since a teenager. McNally's office has admitted it is him. Personally, it's great that this conservative politician could openly accept and seemingly enjoy this young gentleman's nearly nude and suggestive photos, and post such encouraging messages. What's weird is it doesn't seem to fly with the image he has made for himself in politics, nor does it reflect his policies, though in the past he has expressed concern for individual liberty in people expressing themselves. FWIW, the gentleman has always been happy by his kind and suggestive comments and he hasn't alleged that anything romantic has been going on. Still, it's raising questions about the family's man's public enjoyment of nearly explicit content while using an official government account. Wonder if his wife is supportive.

Well I always wonder about that. It says 95% of crashes are survivable? I guess one notable use for the flotation device scenario would have been the Capt. Sully crash?

If it were the other side in this situation? You know they'd try the same thing. Most people I talked to in PA about it, thought yes. Oz was viewed as an outsider, elite, snob, quack, and not interested in Pennsylvania. Fetterman was viewed as endearing, gruff, concerned about people in the state, common every man and... dare I use the word *cringe* maverick..y?? In general people really wanted him to do well, and wanted him to overcome his illness. I can only think the fact that he's still in the hospital means he was having serious mental instability - and for some, that means they will empathize with him more, because they've been through it themselves.

Typically is the key word here. And evidence shows historically, that deaths can and do occur. Thankfully it's mostly injuries - from minor all the way to severe (we're talking about people that did get spine and head injuries here). It usually almost always happens when the person is not following safety protocol. She was on a private small jet, and I'd imagine people are less likely to follow protocols. We don't know the circumstances, other than there was severe turbulence (and there were many instances of that with severe injuries in Feb-Mar already). People can take small bumps to the head during skiing (like Natasha Richardson) and appear fine for hours, before dying - where someone else may be perfectly fine. A lot of it is fluke luck of the bad draw. Some people don't care about their safety on flights.

I remember them giving people like paper bags to puke in. Most of them seemed to miss? The puke went flying into people's hair and seats... everything. The smell was terrible and once the plane dropped stuff went flying all over. Never getting on an airplane without Dramamine again. Here's a recent bad flight - 7 people were hospitalized. https://nypost.com/2023/03/02/seven-hospitalized-after-lufthansa-flight-hits-turbulence-forced-to-land-in-dc/

On this one flight from London to Baltimore... man it was severely turbulent the whole time. Not only were most of the passengers absolutely green with projectile vomiting, but because they told us you couldn't walk around some people were getting especially agitated. The flight took even longer because the pilot diverted us around some weather system into NYC. It was a nice distraction for a while but then they told us we all needed to buckle up again. Well this one woman had enough. No one was going to tell her what to do. She was big and hulked over the flight attendant, shouting and being disruptive. Other attendants came over and tried to talk sense into her. Eventually she sat down again, and the attendants took their seats. Soon after the turbulence started, man it was BAD.... and then we noticed the woman was standing up again. Then it happened.. the plane violently shuddered and just dropped straight down. It was terrifying! Standing angry woman flew up into the air, her shoes went flying, her head struck the ceiling and she was flung back down like a ragdoll. Blood started pouring from her head/face. Even being buckled in my seat, I felt like I had been in a car accident for a while. It's not hard to imagine a person dying on a plane in turbulence and there are notable cases where it has happened.

I will be sure to let my gay friends and family know that water is making them gay is a not at all outlandish totally serious issue. Yes indeed, a sure sign of well researched education on the subject. Religion is religion, and lately it's fast becoming an excuse. Yeah well... this is where we are now. Kind of a disturbing trend.

The mayor of College Park? We have tons of crazies in elected positions in this state and some that aren't... like this guy Since NB made this thread about a weirdo dude appointed to a position in Florida though, I think we're supposed to stay on that topic. I mean what else is there to exactly think? Looks like the police are handling it. It would be great if people would stop electing idiots, and it's perhaps even worse when they are just simply appointed.

Hiring only the best people for the job down there I see. This individual is a pastor, and well, he's said quite a lot of things hasn't he? Whatever helps people get elected these days I guess..

Hidden secret - if you don't like Hershey's chocolate, then don't eat it. There are other superior alternatives.

You know, a lot of people were thinking of Ohio when this happened. But the meteorological data does NOT support that in any way shape or form. Some very excellent meteorologists could plot the trajectory of the jet stream, wind direction, and models at the time. The data correlates to three areas that are continuing to experience severe dust storms that are getting sucked up into the jet. Due to our unusual weather this time of year, there was also a large pollen bloom in the Appalachians. The tests run do not show anything hazardous - it's just pollen and dust debris and that is consistent with any visible residue I've seen here. It's not unheard of to have dust storms on the east coast, but a specific mix of weather events have to happen. The ''Ohio'' theory is not the only one I've heard. There was a lot of panic and some people believed they had seen a low flying aircraft at the time. This was traced back to a USGS plane. People in MD been concerned lately with explosions coming from the military base, and thought something was amiss there. I think for a better picture and to put people at ease, we should test multiple areas (because the types of materials did seem different). Some people did report a strange smell or burning - that was not my experience - it was a dirt smell but it was irritating to the eyes. We shouldn't discount people's claims, but we should understand that a lot of people were claiming things that night - from alien spaceships to the next Chernobyl. FWIW, I believe the data shows the majority content was harmless, I cannot say that closer to the OH/WV border, and the state agencies still investigating should have handled this better. There's a lot of frustration and online discussion.

Well it started on Thursday evening and spread into quite panic, with fire departments telling residents in MD and WV to shut windows, turn off the HVAC, and stay inside. We had been outside briefly, and my husband pointed out this weird low lying wall of clouds suddenly blotting out what was a really clear night. He thought it was fog. When we started seeing what was falling, I had to try and reassure him it was not a nuke plant going off. That being said, even with the windows closed and everything, my eyes felt as if I was stuck in a room full of cats - it seemed irritating. By Friday morning, there was not many answers, but by that time we had high winds which had blown most of the substance that landed, away. It looked like dusty sand/dirt and pollen to me. It smelled like minerals. Some people claimed it was ash or even fluff (and while nothing that resembled ash fell here, there were several distinct types of materials as the system passed through).That Thursday was very unusually warm, but cooler winds were coming in from the SW. The prevailing theory was that it was a dust storm that had traveled from the west. WV has now tested the substance had reported that it was not harmful, and consists of pollen and trace mineral dust. It reminded me of stories my grandfather used to tell about the 30s dust storms, some that made it all the way to the east coast. The weird thing is that there was no warning about it and that has done little to quell any anxiety some people have about it.

Yep. What's even worse is that for this spoiled rich kid's problems and violent behavior.. he had plenty of access to weapons in his home. I really wish that we could start holding parents accountable.

The murder of this officer happened Saturday evening near Philly's Temple University. It does not appear to be a gang shooting nor even by a local individual. The killer is a white 18 year old from an affluent suburban family a considerable distance from Philly. The officer approached the suspects (the shooter's minor friend and brother) attempting a carjacking when he was executed. For some reason, after the shooting, the suspect carjacked another victim, but chose to abandon the car, and call his mother to pick him up. The mother complied and drove her child home, where it seems they attempted to dispose of the murder weapon. The other two minor suspects were caught by police and rolled pretty quickly. It's unknown if the mother will be charged. https://6abc.com/temple-university-police-officer-killed-christopher-fitzgerald-murder-miles-pfeffer-arrest-mayor-jim-kenney/12859768/ The officer murdered in this case, is Christopher Fitzgerald. He leaves behind a wife and four children. He is the son of former Baltimore and RTD police chief Joel Fitzgerald. The officer was fondly remembered by students at Temple. The suspect had previously been arrested for making bomb threats at a high school and was known for causing problems. In another strange and seemingly unrelated case, on Sunday morning after the murder, a pipe bomb was found on some railroad tracks in Philly.

Charges against Alec Baldwin have been reduced https://deadline.com/2023/02/alec-baldwin-shooting-rust-da-drops-gun-enhancement-charge-halyna-hutchins-1235265709/ You cannot charge someone under a statute that was not in place at the time they committed the crime. Instead of mandatory five years, he now faces 18 months. I have a feeling this will still be hard to get, wouldn't be surprised if charges get dropped.

Ugh. It is not hard to fire this guy. They got rid of his buddy Cuomo. This guy needs to go off air, go to AA, and deal with his issues with a therapist.

Oh look, it's Rachel Dolezal 2.0. So much investment in tanning and bronzer... must be expensive. 🤮
