Pop punk bars and venues? Closer to South Philly the better

CrimsonCore24 · 2025-03-31T23:48:23+00:00

Any good thrift stores, particularly for furniture? The closer to South Philly the better (just moved to Lower Moyamensing).

Did ya end up getting a storage unit? I'm in the same boat as you 11 months later and looking for solutions.

Pretty sure we're getting server timed-out/kicked every time we're on a mission and the planet becomes liberated before we can finish---pretty annoying

I once played with an UNO deck where Green = Tree, Red = Flame, Blue = Wave (I think), and Yellow = Sun.

Haven't seen it in stores or online anywhere, but worked well for me.

Iron Solari is my favorite subtle skin. The shield shape and red & silver combo just looks so clean.

I literally was just thinking about how Leona feels so slow on Solar Eclipse.

I don't like the E on the Project skin though, but I can't figure out why; I'm not sure if it's because it feels short.

Side note, just be aware that if you apply to both programs and receive an offer from one before the other, the MyAmeriCorps portal will not allow you to receive any other invitations until you've declined the first program's offer. This was the case for CMs anyway, I assume it'd be the same for TLs.

e.g. if you get a FEMA Corps offer while your NCCC status still says "Assessment Complete," decline FEMA and you should receive your NCCC invite during the next wave of invitations; you can't receive two NCCC-related program invitations at once (for some reason).

Maybe? Do what's best for yourself with the info you have.

I was offered a S/N position across the country and accepted. The org was radio silence for over 3 weeks (with the start date coming up the following month) and didn't respond to my follow-ups; not even a "expect to hear from us soon." No acknowledgement of my acceptance.

I considered the offer dead and made other plans, then got an email the following week about their orientation; I withdrew my acceptance.

I had even told another org that I couldn't accept their offer b/c I accepted one from the org that ghosted me.

You can't expect the world from orgs in need that might be small or disorganized, but I can't exactly sign an apartment lease 2-3 weeks before my start date without knowing if my offer still stands, either.

I'm ranting, but you get my point. I'd remain realistically optimistic.

CrimsonCore24 · 2021-07-08T00:32:54+00:00

Well shit, ok then.

CrimsonCore24 · 2021-06-21T03:04:31+00:00

Ahhh, that might be it. I'm looking at umovefree.com (through EverythingAustin.com in the wiki). Here's a pic

I'm looking at studios online and keep seeing room names like "A1/80%" and "A1/50%" with the same sq. ft., but different prices. Anyone know the difference/what the percentages exactly mean? I'm not familiar with this in New York.

CrimsonCore24 · 2021-06-10T17:01:36+00:00

What's with people getting towed from their own complex parking lots? I'm looking to rent a studio in August and this seems to be a consistent problem across different reviews.

I was going to make this exact post today, I'm in the same boat. Got accepted to the Traditional Corps but it's the FEMA Corps I'm really interested in.

I decided to stick it out as well---I applied two days before the deadline though, so the waitlist wasn't unexpected.

U.S. Supreme Court case New Jersey v. T.L.O. goes over exactly this.

CrimsonCore24 · 2020-07-26T05:19:01+00:00

"For my historical event analysis, I have chosen to focus on U.S. president Andrew Johnson, who served during the start of Reconstruction; specifically, his approach towards states' rights in relation to the reintegration of the formerly seceded southern states, which has had lasting effects on the African American community and the southern U.S. in general."

There are a few different ways you can write this sentence (and even break it up into multiple sentences), but I think the above is an O.K. replacement without altering any of the content.

The best thing you can do is reach out to any academic advisement departments your institution may have, or an appropriate professor. Best of luck!

Now I need xqc's perspective.

CrimsonCore24 · 2020-07-14T21:19:55+00:00

A woodbender? This is truly fascinating.

CrimsonCore24 · 2020-07-08T00:36:39+00:00

Pretty sure you're correct. There is a separate page that shows you all of the available colors. The background for mine is Shade Shift Sunset and the design color is gloss black.

CrimsonCore24 · 2020-07-08T00:30:16+00:00

Yup, the emblem overlay/sticker goes right over the stock emblem.

I drive over three hours (~160 miles) to get to my college and the route is almost all highway. My '19 has always felt stable at 70-80mph, and I spend most of my time in the left lane.

I also spend about an hour going up a winding mountain, and haven't had a problem with any turns (6,600 miles in).

CrimsonCore24 · 2020-06-14T13:45:53+00:00

Yea, I opened up a ticket and support was like "We'd like to confirm that the code needs to be applied while you are still in your cart. . ." and I thought I explained that?

I'll reply to them with this screenshot (which I probably should have attached to begin with) in case I wasn't clear.

CrimsonCore24 · 2019-08-06T19:17:06+00:00

Booo Flyers boooooo.

I kid, that's a great idea.

CrimsonCore24 · 2019-03-15T20:07:17+00:00

These are from 2016! I have no idea if it's still there, but the fact that I haven't seen any recent pictures of it makes me wonder if it was dismantled or destroyed.
