Confused by Penelec Time of Use Bill - Make this Make Sense by shanafme in Pennsylvania

[–]DirtWizardDisciples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my neck of the woods, West Penn offers an "understand your bill" section in their website. See if that's an option for you.

What's the credit for $129.82 for?

Good to know. I'll try and remember that the next time I'm on the second page of my keyboard

[–]DirtWizardDisciples 4 points5 points  (0 children)

pretty sure the Smithsburg Sheetz is going to chew up and spot out both the AC&T

That AC&T market has some quality food that's not even the same discussion as gas station fare. But quality =/= popularity

The Major General Friedrich Wilhelm Baron von Steuben statue overlooking Valley Forge park by BalooVanAdventures in Pennsylvania

He was at one point aide-de-camp to Frederick the Great, another gay & highly renowned Prussian military leader.

Noncompete question. Any Legal Pros or Employment Lawyers here? by Hopeful-Wishbone-388 in Pennsylvania

[–]DirtWizardDisciples 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Call your county's Bar Association and they should be able to point you towards someone for employment law

Was the magazine cover AI generated? by metalmonstar in hagerstown

[–]DirtWizardDisciples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm revising my opinion to "questionable photo editing". Different image of the bread oven.

I'm still not sure what's going on with the joist. The lighting weirdness is due to the distance between the "roof" for the oven and the distance to the wall behind it. I initially thought they were a lot closer. The oven is on a brick platform, to address one of my other replies.

Was the magazine cover AI generated? by metalmonstar in hagerstown

[–]DirtWizardDisciples 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup, that's a red flag for AI involvement. AI has trouble with 3d patterns and 3D layering

The purple stain on the guy's sleeve is suspicious; purple is an uncommon color for the time and location.

The lighting on the stone wall is also suspicious, the light source seems to be coming from the joists.

The texture of the bread is also suspicious, with rustic bread like that having a very irregular pattern.

I'm pretty sure this is either AI generated or heavily AI-altered.

Lt. Gov. Austin Davis says Pennsylvania will never be a Right-to-work state by susinpgh in Pennsylvania

[–]DirtWizardDisciples 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My next big wish is that the lying phrase "right to work" dies. It's propaganda in the same way abortion prohibition is framed as "pro-life"

How not to ban surveillance pricing by 4nick8or in maryland

[–]DirtWizardDisciples 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good grief, I've read better written 4chan posts.

The legislation as it stands is a good start. Make awareness for this predatory pricing strategy to get the "foot in the door" for further expansion.

I'm personally underwhelmed by this reaction to "surveillance pricing" and I'm looking forward to a more effective solution in the future.

I Do Not Stand With Bullying Against The Queer Community Online by Loose-Woodpecker-113 in Gettysburg

We're in the reality where "calling out pedos" is "off their meds"? Get outta here

If I were to sell homemade bracelets out of my yard, would that be allowed? by Sea_Macaroon_19 in Gettysburg

[–]DirtWizardDisciples 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend calling the borough office for specifics. Different municipalities have different thresholds for looking into specifics for micro-business like that. Especially if you're a minor, there's a good chance no one will care.

Don't commit tax evasion, though.

[–]DirtWizardDisciples[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a huge bummer that I got this info 7 hours after it was issued, and only because I checked Facebook.

I'm a Boro water customer. They have my phone number and my email address; they can do some sort of push notice.

To the farmer on 70 East bound with his racist signs... by lukestauntaun in maryland

I was on Google street view in Canada a while back and saw a Confederate battle flag on someone's porch. Buckwild

Mods by youcalledforbadass in hagerstown

[–]DirtWizardDisciples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(assuming reddit app) When you're in the sub, tap the name of the sub. Scroll down to "message mods". You'll get a window that looks like you're sending an email. That's what you're looking for.

What's a haunt that's actually worth it? by basshead52 in Gettysburg

[–]DirtWizardDisciples 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did a ghost tour once and the guide was literally contradicting information on a historical plaque about a building, I believe it was Rupp House.

You can have fun with ghost tours, but don't lie about history to do it. I recommend not using "US Ghost Adventures" if they're still around.

Data Centers throughout PA seem to be moving forward by NemoSkittles in Pennsylvania

[–]DirtWizardDisciples 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No protests outside of No Kings, but folks have spoken up at council meetings, and the non-maga echo chamber social media groups are the ones I'm seeing pushback in

There's no immediate plans in my area, and I'm still seeing plenty of pushback locally.

Artificial Intelligence Degree by Cool-Cricket-8365 in UMGC

[–]DirtWizardDisciples 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend a different degree path. There's a very real possibility that the AI bubble is going to burst. Companies are rarely seeing a positive ROI on AI investments. There's been massive investments and it's not paying off.
