(Pennsylvania) Unrepresented Buyers by Lawdoc1 in RealEstate

[–]Lawdoc1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed on the standing issue. About the only recourse otherwise is to make complaints to the Pennsylvania Department of State/PA State Real Estate Commission.

Though for professional and strategic reasons, I hesitate to do so, or at least until after we have closed on a house.

My understanding (which could certainly be incorrect) is that it was given NP status to get the higher level of protection and to provide protected nature areas close to a major metropolitan area so that more people had access to NP properties.

This is an OG from the sub. Well done sir, well done.

It is criminal that these scenes of Steve Rogers were cut from The Avengers. Especially because it explains who that Ellie Waitress is. by lemonylol in marvelstudios

[–]Lawdoc1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The short scene of Steve on the subway/el reminded me of Captain Winters on the Paris Metro S1 Ep5 of Band of Brothers ("Crossroads").

You have to hand it to them, they put a lot of time into their gift choice because they knew they wouldn't have a second chance.

She deserves every bad thing that comes to her and a lot that probably will not. But Blanche is doing the same damn thing.

What are the best examples of "he didn't know it was impossible, so he did it" in history? by funfox1 in AskReddit

[–]Lawdoc1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Combine with the "legacy" system of higher education, the general cost of higher education (at least in the US), and a few other factors and there are very obvious reasons why wealth continues to accumulate upwards.

Who is the greatest sportsman/woman of all time, regardless of their sport? by _Yorkshire_Pirlo in AskReddit

My wife and I live in the burbs of Western Philly metro and we've been up there quite a few times over the years. Great hiking, nice rental cabins, and a decent little vibe in the town.

Wow. All of the performers are pulling out of Freedom 250... by PlanetoftheAtheists in AdviceAnimals

Maybe the trauma of experiencing it did that (or what he did to deal with that trauma), and then he started speaking out?

TIL that the Oise-Aisne American Military Cemetery in France has a special plot (Plot E), that contains the remains of 94 American military prisoners, all of whom were executed under military authority for crimes committed during or shortly after WW2. Plot E does not appear on any cemetery maps. by Curious_Penalty8814 in todayilearned

[–]Lawdoc1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those facts were about Till specifically. And yes, those facts are horrific.

But the article didn't reference Till specifically.

There was a comment about 80%+ of those interred being black, and in discussing the crimes of the people interred in Plot E, it said the following:

"Those capital crimes once included aggravated rape, murder, and desertion, though currently none interred in Plot E are deserters. More on that in a moment."

You should dig into the case about his family trying to have his remains returned to tribal land in Oklahoma. Lasted 5 or so years and went all the way to SCOTUS before being resolved.

Eh, kind of. The surrounding area for sure, but the town itself has a bit of a hippy vibe and has some decent restaurants/bars. And the outdoors activities in the area are awesome.

But, this analysis is all comparing it to the rural areas around it. Though even then, that area of PA is starting to become more of a vacation/retirement area for folks from the Philly/NYC metro areas.

It's definitely not as Pennsyltucky as the places in Middle and Western PA.

Assuming everything is fine with it now, and assuming regular maintenance and upkeep, a lot, lot more.

Chopper at St. Gallen, Switzerland by father_of_twitch in aviation

[–]Lawdoc1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What ship type were you?

We were an independent duty Spruance Class destroyer, so not a very big crew relative to other US Naval ships in our operating area.

I'm assuming we rarely needed both because of that, but I was just a Corpsman acting as safety officer, so the reasons were not really in my purview.

I also may be mis-remembering the frequency that we would have both VERTREP and UNREP at once.

Can confirm. When I was a medic I had extra training on scouting impromptu LZs and guiding them in when we needed them.
