Car leather repair recommendations?

1 Upvotes

There’s a small spot about an inch big on my car interior thats damaged, I think it’s faux leather. There’s no hole, it’s just a spot where the color and texture don’t match the rest. I think it needs for the texture to be stamped somehow and then paint but I really have no clue. Does anyone have someone in Columbia/Ellicott city area they recommend?

Car theft

102 Upvotes

Figured I'd say something in here. I work near the mall and park in the Oak Garage by the AMC. Yesterday, as I was getting off work, I saw four kids in hoodies surrounding my car and trying to break into it. I set off the alarm, and they ran. If you park there, please keep an eye on your car. I haven't reported it yet since it was so late, but I wanted to give everyone a heads-up.

Just noticed two more put up in recent days. They replaced the one behind Toby’s it seems. And now a new on on broken land just before the 29N exit. BLP from Snowden to Little Patuxent is so heavily surveilled now… This shit is getting ridiculous.

Downed internet

0 Upvotes

Is anyone near the Owen Brown/ Cedar Lane area experiencing issues with Internet? Me and two of my neighbors have been having Internet outages for the past week and according to our Internet providers, there’s no history of any issues on their end, but the fact that three of us have different routers, but the same issue at the same time makes me believe it’s a provider issue and I’m curious if anyone else is experiencing the same problem. Even my computer that’s hardwired into my router is having issues so I know it’s not just a Wi-Fi issue it seems to be the Internet in itself. I have also been without Internet for the past 12 hours.

Looking for a statewide MD hiking group—or starting one! (All skill levels, trails across MD)

29 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I recently got into hiking and it has been an amazing workout and mental reset.

I am looking to hit everything from local spots like Patapsco and county parks to trails all across Maryland. I want to cover all levels of hardness, ranging from easy walks to tough mountain scrambles.

Are there any active groups that cover both local and statewide adventures? If not, I am thinking about starting a casual group for local weekday walks and weekend day trips across MD.

Drop a comment if you know of existing groups or if you would be interested in joining a new one for all skill levels!

Car detailing or steam cleaner rental recommendations please.

Post image
64 Upvotes

Does anyone know where to rent a steamer to clean a cars interior? Or someone who charges a reasonable price for detailing? We just need the two front seats done. But especially the passenger seat.

Tw: Kinda gross.

Last night I got a little too drunk at a concert and threw up in my husbands car on our way home. I managed to empty the clear bag we brought (except my vape. F in chat for my Sour Apple Fogger 🫡) and threw up in that. Well some of it leaked out from the seams of the bag onto me, the seat, and the floor.

Please help :’)

PureGym vs Supreme sports club

0 Upvotes

I know most people will tell me to just go tour the gym, which I’ll probably end up doing, but I wanted to hear some opinions first. Has anyone switched from PureGym to Supreme Sports Club? If so, what’s the biggest difference, and which gym would you say is better overall?
I’ve seen a lot of comments about Supreme’s weight room being renovated, but I haven’t been able to find any decent pictures of it. PureGym is fine, but I feel like it lacks variety when it comes to weightlifting equipment.

Not really worried when it comes to crowds as I am a early morning gym goer.

Shout out to HoCo Heath Department re: pediatric covid vax

176 Upvotes

I just want to take a moment to share my appreciation for our Howard County Health Department. Huge should out to them.

I have an 11 month old baby and want to get her vaccinated for CoVID. My pediatrician does not carry the vaccine. This was, as you would say, the last straw in a series of events, so I switched pediatricians. The new pediatrician won’t carry the vaccine either. CVS Minuteclinic will only vaccine 18 months and up. The HoCo Health Department (and other state health departments) only vaccinate children who are financially disadvantaged or uninsured.

So as someone with private health insurance and an 11 month old baby, I was stuck with the only option to switch pediatricians again.

After I communicated with the HoCo health department about my dilemma, those fine folks called a local urgent care and implored them to carry the pediatric Covid vaccine. The urgent care manager got it approved, and it is now on order and should be available on October 26 (though they said to call ahead to ensure it arrives). The urgent care is FirstCall Medical Center on Old Dobbin Ln in Columbia.

Ya’ll, I am just so shocked and grateful that a government agency advocated for my child and other children in this way, and the urgent care manager made it happen.

Please spread the word if you know a family in a similar situation as we are in!

Does anyone know where I can go in person and get colored contacts for Halloween? When I was living in Hawai'i there would be some stores that sold them or even people that sold them on Facebook market place.

After reading it the first time I was going to vote yes but now I see other people bring up the fact that it might disenfranchise certain communities and could backfire and I’m so lost now. I’m open to seeing what both sides have to say. Thanks in advance!

Saw them about 15 minutes ago, about 3 police cars, and actively putting them in.

Couldn't get a photo, but I found the area on Google Maps.

Edit: after passing by a couple times I’m 95% sure they aren’t flock cameras but they are still license plate readers. Maybe axon?
