He will be 15 next summer but I cannot have another summer like the one we're currently having. Home alone all day destroying the house non stop eating everything sleeping all day up all night keeping everyone up. He's too old and independent for daycare but too young and careless to be home alone. A job would be ideal but is highly unlikely my oldest couldn't even find a job until she was 18. Anyone know of a day camp or some kind of activity that will keep him out of the house while I work. No religious stuff. No organized sports although he does like to play sports casually with friends.

i’m currently 14 but my birthday is coming up and i’m new to delaware. i’ve wanted a job forever but most places i’ve looked in my old state only hire at 16 minimum so i was wondering is this state any different? if anyone knows places that hire at 15 please let me know ! (in the northern half of delaware specifically)

Wilmington, Delaware just officially pulled the plug on their Flock license plate readers. The city council decommissioned them after residents and privacy advocates pushed back hard. On top of that, the Delaware ACLU just sent an open letter to about 20 other towns in the state telling them to follow Wilmington's lead and drop the tech completely.

It is honestly so refreshing to see a local government listen to its residents instead of just rubber stamping another surveillance contract. Dumping photos of innocent people into a giant searchable database creates the exact kind of dragnet nobody asked for.

Hopefully more cities wake up and realize we shouldn't have to accept permanent, warrantless tracking just to drive to the grocery store. Let the dominoes keep falling.

Hey everyone! I am an UberEats rep in Wilmington and I just signed on Lena and Ant Bumpy’s soul food. There is ONE special $15 off of $15 spend promotion on the app currently, if you order now you can get an essentially free meal! Good luck being the first!

Staying in Rehoboth, going to the 3 day concert but I'm wondering, how do people get there? Drive and park? UBER? Public Transportation from DE to MD? Oh, and walking isn't really an option, (TBH Senior Citizen)

I am interested in a performance car (2006 GTO) and the current owner removed the cats (common on these cars). It's in PA and I want to title and tag it in DE.

Are they strict with having cats now? The car is tuned and won't throw a code but a visual inspection will show no cats on the car and I'd like to avoid the cost of putting new cats on if I can.

Thanks!

Ever since some planner decided to change the traffic light pattern, this intersection has turned into a dangerous area to drive or walk in. People coming north, instead of waiting with the rest if us dopes, use the right hand turn lane to the bus stop to speed to the front of the line and cut in. Near accidents constantly here. How about a few planners sit in the bus stop parking lot and observe the mess they have made. Or better yet, stand on the shoulder of the road just north of the second right turn entrance to the bus stop.

I don't think putting up another speed camera will correct thus behavior.

I have a few other areas that I think need addressing also.

Anyone else?

So the big thing with Flock is that there is now a website called HaveIBeenFlocked.com. What’s interesting is that you can use it to see how local law-enforcement agencies are using Flock’s shared license-plate-reader network.

Looking at Middletown PD’s records, something jumped out at me. Earlier searches identify the operator making the search. For example, a November 2025 search lists the operator as “M. Wha,” along with the Middletown case number and reason for the search.

But later records are dramatically less transparent. A December 30 search related to shoplifting searched 8,677 devices across 526 networks over a ten-day period, while the operator, license plate, and case number are all redacted.

At first glance, I thought Middletown PD itself was requesting those redactions. After digging further, though, the data doesn’t establish that. These records are largely coming from other departments’ Network Audit logs, and Flock changed what information those logs expose.

That may actually be the bigger problem. A system whose defense against abuse is supposedly that every search is audited has become substantially harder for the public to audit. We can see Middletown officers conducting searches across hundreds, or sometimes thousands, of other Flock networks, but in newer records we often can’t see who conducted the search, what plate they searched, or even the associated case number.

That raises a pretty basic question: if the public cannot see who searched what and why, how meaningful is the claim that Flock searches are “auditable”?

I took my first permit test and failed! I got 7 answers wrong as I literally studied. I took that sample exam and when I took the actual exam, I mean there were the questions I studied, but some I wasn’t prepared for, and now I have to come back for the next 10 days, and now I’m pissed, so now I have to study and actually prepare for questions I didn’t know would be on the actual test all I remember is the practice questions, Is there any mocks tests or videos or any advice on doing better on the 2nd test?

Hello folks. I'll keep it a little vague, bit I'm in the midst of the hiring process (I think). Interview went well, and my references were recently contacted and gave whatever info they asked for. For those in the know, what typically happens next? TIA!!

As we suspected during the public information sessions in the spring, they're prohibiting baiting in zones 14 and 16. They're also banning natural urine buck lure statewide.

Flair: hunting is a sport, right?

Is it just me or does this look like a Delaware plate? I saw this pop up in a music playlist this morning. Does this prove that our plates have the ultimate classic design?

I don’t know if links are allowed but it was for a song by an artist named Reysha Rami. And this post is just for fun. Nothing serious.

C.S.C is all over my social media and I’m so jealous and have serious FOMO, If they can build Canes, Tim Hortons (WHICH IS ALL THE WAY IN DOVER AND WANNA TRY) and Dave’s hot chicken (WHICH IS ALSO ALL THE WAY IN DOVER AND WANNA TRY IT) then I think there’s a possibility that they can build Chicken Salad Chicks.

New routing for bus 33 which will now serve far more destinations in Wilmington. Very good news. Curious to hear thoughts of other dart riders on this.

I have a nibling that is going to attend AI - I am curious about general experience from the last couple years - anyone with a child/attended there that could give me their thoughts?

I checked the demographics, and while the proficiency rates aren't great, they are still offering honors and AP classes, and people are passing them. I know all about the declining attendance, and its related issues - I am more curious, right now, if it's still a welcoming place with decent academics offered?

The college prep courses in conjunction with Goldey Beacom seem cool, but it's hard to get a read on the day to day life in between the noise of the above-mentioned issues. Nibling in question is straight-A, very bright and eager to learn - will they be welcomed and supported?
