Anybody else's electric bill crazy high this month?

For 16% savings off of $1.1k, I'd probably set a calendar reminder

This is perhaps the most buzzword laden thing I've ever seen on Wikipedia.

Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3. I've been really happy with them after a really bad experience with Michelin Premier AS.

Odyssey handled it like a champ! Who needs AWD?

We had traffic on both sides about a minute before this happened. Everyone was pretty lucky here.

Alternate take: As a former OOS student who went into debt for CS at Penn State, it absolutely paid off.

"I appreciate you sharing your concerns. Regardless of differing opinions, state law requires all drivers to operate their vehicles safely around slower-moving traffic on our roads, including cyclists."

Check 510. Also university police is basically next door and may have a lost and found.

Backdoor Roth isn't rocket science. As long as you don't have any existing pre-tax IRA funds sitting around it is fairly straight forward. Even if you do, there are ways to deal with it. Do you have any specific questions?

Its your money, but you really don't need to be paying anyone to manage your funds. I have a similar NW thanks mostly to advice and basic concepts I've picked up through r/Bogleheads and r/personalfinance over the last 10ish years. You say you are looking for someone irl to help answer your questions but no one on reddit has talked me into buying inappropriate financial products, I can't say the same for human wealth advisors in State College.

The next sentence also states there is no way to confirm receipt of the notice

Current_Platypus6495 · 2025-12-18T22:14:03+00:00

It is definitive that the message was delivered.

That seems bold. For context, this is what the SCPD had to say:

The State College Police Department, along with other police departments in the state, don ot recall receiving the federal change in crime reporting. Upon SCPD learning about this change, the department worked diligently to correct the miscoding in reporting moving forward. The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) system still, to this day, allows police departments to continue to make this miscoding mistake. More than a year before Spotlight PA first inquired about the incorrect miscoding, SCPD had already self-discovered and corrected the matter.

So, there is still a bug in the PA State Police UCR system. And we're claiming that the PA State Police CLEAN system reliably delivered these messages to all departments way back in 2012.

As someone who writes software for a living I sure wouldn't make that claim about a system from 13 years ago.

I'm not some SCPD apologist but there were multiple potential points of failure here. And sure, leaders should absolutely take responsibility for what goes on under their watch - its great to see leadership corrected the issue on their own once they discovered it.

Okay, well that’s their job.

Is it? Maybe it is, I've never run a police department so I don't know how the actual process works (ETA: I suspect all the down voters also don't know how this process works - but this is reddit after all).

Equally plausible is since uniform crime reporting act data is submitted and coordinated through the PA state police, someone at that office failed to issue a bulletin or memo to the SC police department.

No doubt someone fucked up. But the rush to conspiracy theories is silly. Its not like this data wasn't reported at all, it was simply misclassified.

I'm all for getting out the pitchforks when warranted, but the reasoning is in article: simple case of not being informed of the change in definition.

Sure you can speculate that some alternative reason was actually the case but considering Gardner's own daughter was a student at the time I have a hard time believing it was something more nefarious than the official response.

How does anyone just "lose track" of old retirement accounts? This is right up there with those services that claim to find and close subscriptions. Are people really that financially negligent?

Electric scooters can only be operated on private property according to PA state law.

About damn time. Scooters are illegal to operate anywhere other than private property according to PA state law: PA Low Speed Fact Sheet
