People who complain about "woke" can't give you a definition of it.

Sounds like the free market in action. Cry more, bigots.

Oh it absolutely shouldn't be wired like that. There's no acceptable reason to wire one plug with two breakers. But it sounds like this is old wiring, if there's no ground, and stuff happens throughout the years.

I've run into this before. It's probably being fed by two breakers due to a cross connect somewhere in the wiring. I'd start turning off the breakers one by one, but don't turn them right back on. Leave them off. When the power is finally cut that will give you one of the breakers feeding that line. Leave that one off and turn everything back on, then repeat the process to find the other breaker feeding it.

…and they’re proven right time and time again, when no consequences are dished out for their antisocial behavior. Which explains so much in Philadelphia.

Since I keep hearing from morons that all the schools in Bucks county have them for students, maybe they're in need.

Oh I agree about Airbnb. It’s a scourge. But what I’m seeing in this thread is that anyone not from here is the enemy. New Yorkers daring to relocate to NEPA and so on.

But what is the solution? Forbid people from buying houses? It wasn’t so long ago that people were complaining that the area was disinvested and nobody could sell or leave. Now industry is being added and there’s interest in housing and that’s a problem too. It just reads to me as bitter nimbyism.

An area marketed as a vacation destination contains vacation housing? This is my shocked face.

The point of sale rebates from the Inflation Reduction Act haven't been implemented yet and likely won't until much later in the year, if your income qualifies you for that. The tax credit is available right now, 30% of project cost. PECO will give you a $350 rebate. To my knowledge there aren't any state rebates.

I have a heat pump water heater (though I was replacing an electric tank, not propane.) I like it!

Have you tried...visiting? Do you generally find large cities to be terrifying? A subreddit is not reality.

Cult members have predictable ends.

Utilities don’t shut off because of a one month late payment. They’ll assess a minor late fee (or in this case, won’t, because they said that’s suspended for now) and life goes on.

This right here is exactly why I don’t allow automatic payments on most things.

So a noisy minority went to a march celebrating forced birth? Crossroad indeed.

Same in Philadelphia. We are taxed to death and don’t get much for it, but wow will the garbage guys take anything. I’ve put out whole sheets of backer board with tile, contractor bags full of construction debris, whatever. They’ll take it.

Are they using PA's definition of taxable income for a federal program? I doubt it.

Is your 401k already maxed out at 22,500? If not, contribute more. That comes off your MAGI.

It is, and it does.

It's such a mixed bag. Our carrier now is the nicest, most competent one I can remember. The guy before her would literally sit in his USPS truck on my street smoking a blunt, cop a huge attitude with literally everyone, and routinely mark things as delivered when in fact they were not.

When I expressed surprise at the total of what I was buying at Lowe's, the cashier took that as an opportunity to say "just 2 more years, Trump's coming back, there was supposed to be this red wave and blah blah blah." I considered it my Christmas gift to her that I didn't call Lowe's corporate about it.

Be glad you're not in my development. $55.93 sewer customer charge + $20.51 water customer charge. So $76.44 every month BEFORE I use a single drop of water. Then of course there's a per gallon fee on the water and the sewer, again.

Water utilities should not be privately owned or for-profit. Period.

I love this.

General Altimax 365 AW. They’re about as close to a snow tire as you can get in an all season. I’ve been very impressed with them.

This is on a Chevy Volt (FWD)

"But what can we do," asked society, while sitting in a packed indoor space like there's not 3 viruses raging simultaneously.
