Still long enough that they ought to call their doctor.

>even the cops don’t follow this law

This is a misuse of the word "even". Cops are the last people to follow any law.

I hate so much that you're right about that.

>afraid that they will sail it away after it's all done

I love having that here, but it really belongs in New York. That was always its home port, and "New York" is still painted on the stern under the ship's name.

Yes, it was the flagship of our fleet.

>north of 60 knots

60 knots would be nearly 70 miles per hour. Did you mean 60 kilometers per hour?

Nimitz-class carriers can do 30 knots (which is fast) and Gerald R. Ford-class carriers are even faster. But no aircraft carrier goes 60 knots. (Perhaps you were on a carrier-based aircraft? Those go even faster.)

Greatest and (nearly) last of the ocean liners.

An ocean liner is kind of like a cruise ship. And it's kind of the opposite of a cruise ship.

Yeah, it's the church at the northwest corner of Rittenhouse Square, on the south side of Walnut. Apparently, a 19th-Century pastor was way into Bethlehem.

IN YOUR FACE, ALLENTOWN!

Or Amman, Jordan, which does predate Shakespeare (unlike the cream cheese and what have you)

I don't see how you can give the government the power to decide what is and isn't a religion and still observe the First-Amendment ban on "respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof".

The government tells religions they'll lose their tax-exempt status if they engage in political advocacy. I agree it would be better if they just didn't give them a tax exemption in the first place. But you can't set the government up in the business of deciding which religions are The Truth and which ones are made up and dumb. (For one thing, they're all made up and dumb.)

Septa is definitely confusing and challenging. OP being dumb could go either way.

>shooting on Spruce 21st to 22nd

Yeah, the show is set in a house on Spruce at Van Pelt. Shyamalan gives it an eerie, other-worldly quality by having Spruce run eastbound. It gives you goosebumps!

Law-enforcement officers giving lawbreaking family members a pass is corruption. I have many complaints about the PPA. Insufficient corruption isn't one of them.

My late father-in-law was a stickler for rules. He carried a beef with PPA to his grave over this exact case.

You can absolutely fight it as a misunderstanding. You will almost certainly lose. It will take considerable time.

Right: anybody can register one. Contrast that with .gov domains, like phila.gov or pa.gov. Those are available only to government bodies, so a website's using one is evidence of its legitimacy, and a reason to trust that it isn't a scam.

It's just one more piece of evidence that the Parking Authority are incompetent Harrisburg political hacks.

OK, but eventually you'll have to drive in the dark, and drive on the freeway. So the instructions should cover that, right? So the LPT is a good one, isn't it?

If the Parking Authority is a government entity, why do they have a .org domain? (And if they aren't, why do I have to pay parking tickets?)

age

It sounds like you've already searched the area, which is the first step. I think it's best to spiral outward from where it was parked, since they don't want to tow it any farther than they have to.

When my car was towed, the person I talked to at PPA said that seven blocks in any direction is the rule, but it was three or four blocks away (depending on how you count).

This seems like another opportunity to say that moving somebody's car, for any reason, without making a public record of where you put it, should be punishable by a fine and the revocation of your tow-truck license.

>"sorry, I'm not interested"

This is the way.

For me, it helps to remember that they're trying to earn a living, as we all need to, and since I'm not going to buy anything, the kindest thing I can do is save them from wasting any time talking to me. So I'm polite, but super direct. And regardless of how they respond, I close the door, gently but immediately.

Likewise, when people solicit me on the street, I'm polite, but direct, and I don't break my stride.

Meaning no, they won't keep "BONER 4EVER". But they acknowledge it's a famed and beloved piece of street art. But they're trying to run a hotel, not a gallery.

It can save you from choking to death -- an extremely unpleasant experience -- by instead drowning.

It showed up on https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ . It didn't have its registration number and said it was military. I looked because I heard it here (Logan Square). It was at something like 2000 feet. (I forget the exact number) It had come down the Schuylkill, gone though Center City, and basically headed straight down Broad Street.

When I was on a work trip to New Zealand, a coworker told some people he was from Philadelphia. I felt an urge to say, "You are not; you're from Pennsauken."

I said nothing, because I didn't want to be that guy, but also because some person in a bar in Auckland is not going to know what a "Pennsauken" is.

Strictly speaking, the rule is what u/synthetikxangel said: if your zip code starts "191", then (and only then) you can say you're from Philadelphia. But the thing is, there's no mechanism for enforcing that rule. So, Bala Cynwyd? Feasterville? Kennett Square? Whatever. But don't turn to me for confirmation, because I'll say, "Nah, he's from Pennsauken."
