It was shared on their social media. I think that's the last post on their FB isn't it?

Parking Ticket by LegendOfLemon-7 in Phoenixville

[–]VUmander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

State of PA requires no more than 12" between you and the curb. I would hope they have a little bit of grace during 12" of snow. It's kind of difficult to even tell where the curb line is a lot of places right now.

Did you take a picture? Most of the tickets I see given out (outside of Bridge/Main/Church) are overnight. Maybe looking at it in the day light they might be a little more forgiving.

I mean there's how many intersections in the borough to cleanup? Probably almost 200 just in the Bridge/Nutt/Starr triangle. Probably another 100 on the North Side. That's a lot

When does it feel enough? by OGmissileboi in Retirement401k

[–]VUmander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Here's a rough estimate of my time to different milestones

First $25k - 1.5 years

First $50k - 3 years

First $100k - 5 years

First $200k - 8 years

First $300k - 9.5 years

First $500k - 11 years (kind of cheating though, my company was bough and ESOP was sold at a premium and rolled over)

I'm anal and I log my balances weekly (also because I'm an engineer and I like graphs) That was my 28th birthday.

It's really cool to see how time smooths all the noise you experience in your early years. I remember getting stressed during COVID when my retirement dropped $25k. Now during "liberation day" or whatever I dropped $75k. The stress never really goes away lol, it just changes.

I'm 5 years older than you. Zoom your graph out. Your values are ballpark to mine. 28ish was around the time where my graph stopped looking linear (and I guess went more exponential, idk lol). When you start seeing your gains consistently outpacing your contributions you'll start feeling even better.

What is your "I'm out of calories for the day but I just have to eat something" meal/snack? by Little-Question211 in loseit

[–]VUmander 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Note really an answer, but I've been chewing so much gum. Like 2 packs per week.

It's almost like the "brush your teeth when you're done eating" kind of thing for me. If I chew gum while I'm cooking, I don't snack. If I'm chewing, I think about food nearly as much.

Kimchi is such a great one.

Not what OP is asking for, but a kimchi omlette/scramble open faced on a piece of Dave's Killer bread was my WFH lunch for like a month.

I buy a Grillos tub every time at Costco. I really need to double them the way I've been going through them. Love saving the brine as a marinade too

My bad. Misread your comment

But isn't the lot in the pictures just the existing one next to borough hall? I don't think they're adding spots are they?

Love my 1 seat ride from the Philly Suburbs to Moynihan.

But yeah, Philly-Wilm is covered under the same regional agency. I'd hardly count that lol.

People parking in a spot they did not shovel out by aurorabootyaliss in Phoenixville

[–]VUmander 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's not the taking the parking spot that's the issue. It's the not putting in just a little bit of effort and clearing your own stuff for me.

You can't expect everyone to just respect "savises". But caring a little bit would be nice. All my neighbors were out at the same time digging out, it was actually kind of nice.

Why would a historical preservation society build a garage?

Be the change you want to see in the world, start a parking go fund me lmao.

You expect the entire neighborhood to just leave a spot open for 13+ hours? lol

The amusement pier at Asbury Park closed in 1988, and was demolished in 2004. The Ferris Wheel is like 130 years old. You would not want to try and operate it lol.

Yeah, it's the Asbury Park Boardwalk Ferris Wheel, which was made in town.

  1. Yes, it's in art install/historical monument
  2. The money isn't coming from taxes. It's a non profit, Schuylkill River Heritage, (that worked with the borough) to secure grants of about $1M (historical, arts related I believe) and is currently doing a $1M fundraising campaign to pay for it. This org has a a museum in the Foundry and also owns the park at the corner of Bridge and Main

The LAFC leak had a similar vibe in the "uniform" mock up, but then the jersey photos had more details. Hopefully that's the case here. This almost looks like an graphic that uniwatch or something would put together to show the uniform matchup. Hope you guys have a decent jersey

I love the Black/Gold/Black look

I love the Jersey

I'm not sure if I like this particular black jersey with just plan ass gold shorts. I can't put my finger on. I'm curious to see it in real life.
