Are median parkers now just Kenyatta Johnson's entire constituency?

It's because bass is the greatest instrument of all time. It's impossible to be a great band without a great bass player.

Good to know. I hope I don't have complaints, but it's good to be prepared.

Good advice. I hate the part at the end where I rely on Philly PD to do anything, though.

I don't have a lawyer; there hasn't even been damage to the house. I'm just trying to do the stuff people say "I wish I'd done" before any construction starts.

I'm expecting the house will be totally demolished (it's really far gone). Are they still displayed before there are even windows?

I've had an inspection within the last year; I wonder if that's sufficient to document the state of the house if anything should go wrong?

They have to show permits upon request, right? I'm concerned about the permits not being loaded into Eclipse right away, so I won't see them.

Not that it helps much now, but lowering your Comp deductible to 0 would likely cost next to nothing ($5-10 a month). I'd investigate, especially if you have a Kia in a major population center.

I don't know: a bunch of people who can either take the subway or walk or just pay the meter like everyone else who wants to bring their car?

Nah, I should be less ambiguous. More parking enforcement, always.

Love the shout-out for looser parking enforcement. Some people just don't get it; cars don't shop, people do.

PSA: if you have stuff in your car and it's stolen, the car itself is covered through your Comprehensive coverage on the auto policy, but the contents are covered through your residential (homeowner's or renter's policy). Make sure you have both.

Reply to comment by quixoteland in Does Philadelphia Electric Code Require a Dishwasher to be on a dedicated circuit? by Fattom23
The panel space is way less of an issue than having to hire someone to run the wires and install the breaker (since the fact that I have these questions proves I shouldn't do that work). But it's good to know Philly follows the 2017 code without modification; that's super useful.

Reply to comment by DelcoWolv in Does Philadelphia Electric Code Require a Dishwasher to be on a dedicated circuit? by Fattom23
Yeah, that's definitely the way to do it when you're running wires for the first time. I was hoping to avoid it because there's already wiring there, but I think I'll need an electrician to run the new wires.

I love the snowflake decorations. Are those the sort of official CDC light pole decorations? Fairmount uses those, too.

I can't even imagine the barrier that would be needed to keep a Philly driver from doing this. It would need to be at least four feet tall, poisoned and somehow explode.

I'm shocked (but kinda happy) that such people will move when you ask them to. It gives me some kind of hope.

If only there was some organization in the city responsible for keeping the crosswalks clear...

FedEx had never rang my doorbell, no matter what they're delivering. It's like that's a policy or something.

I was getting out of the car with the kids, so they mentioned it to me. I explained the situation, he said he'd still have to write it, and I told him to go ahead. It wasn't a real high demand block, so things were a bit more laid back.

I didn't even try to fight it. Buying a house comes with a lot of expenses; I just chalked this up as one of those. He gave me the chance to move first, but I told him to just ticket me.

You will get a ticket if a PPA officer notices it. The 2 hour limit is for the block. I had it happen to me on my block before I'd gotten the permit moved.

The schedule's extremely loose, but there likely will be 9 hours between the beginning of the parade and the last display of veiled racism, yes.
