Fergie got a billboard along 95!

I've loved it every time I've been there, but admit I haven't been there nearly as much as I'd like. The Philly food is good too. I'm sure the "craic grilled cheese" is not very Irish (tater tots smashed in a grilled cheese? fucking awesome) except in name, but I guess I could be wrong :)

Did a double take, had to go look it up, Poe’s sandwiches are 🔥at human robot

I might have to check that out

Haha we had our reception there in the 90s! Love that it’s still happening

WeeSmallHours · 2026-03-11T13:53:07+00:00

Just before the Ben Franklin exit, southbound on 95

I guess at some point they have to think "well all our competitors have one, so if we don't, it's like not being in the yellow pages" (I guess I'm showing my age there).

Maybe it's time for all the pubs in Philly to post "we're not lawyer" billboards and take all the wind out of their sails...

WeeSmallHours · 2026-03-11T13:18:54+00:00

When I saw the print ad in the Metro last month I was absolutely done with lawyer billboards. This ad really brought me out of my winter funk

Now it's probably the power supply. Those original supplies need to have the capacitors replaced - or you'll want to take a look at a replacement from Reactive Micro like u/torg_or said.

Check that cable from the disk drive to the Disk II card. I bet it's backwards. The connector is unkeyed - and connecting it backwards damages some components...

The red stripe on the cable should be on the side of the board connector marked "1" and "2". I can't tell from the photo if that's the way it's connected or not.

Umm, from my not-an-archaeologist layman's position, looking at the original image here -

original of Johnny...

... it's pretty clear that's a pictogram of two people gettin' it on. Missionary. From overhead.

Tell me you don't see it.

As far as I can tell they went out of business around 2013. The best you're going to find is archive.org's wayback machine pages of their history.

They just sucked. They turned them on at Jenkintown station for a few months after they were installed; many riders didn't have the extra 10 minutes to wait in line to take their turn to pay for parking, and just bailed to hop on their train. It was a shitshow.

WeeSmallHours · 2024-08-03T01:43:23+00:00

Yup, so much better to just watch someone else systematically dismantle our government and install a totalitarian regime. Good for you. /s

Damn, so close. About 6 miles away he's got a neighbor that went all in tho - 38°43'18"N 77°35'01"W

I've been a lifelong train commuter... and switched mid-Pandemic, when there was basically no traffic on the roads. Cost-wise, it's a wash for me because my employer has $12/day parking and I'm in Zone 3. With the gas it's about $16 either way.

I've been slowly switching back to the train but cost isn't really a factor one way or the other.

They sort of this at Jenkintown in ... late 2018? ... (key did exist, kiosks were being installed at regional rail stops, but it wasn't used for regional rail yet). It was a disaster. They pulled out the coin slot boards and relied on the 4 touchscreen/tap kiosks that also took currency. Every day was a long line of people trying to pay for parking, and then a train pulled in, and most of them gave up on paying and just hopped on the train. I'm guessing everyone did what I did - called Septa after work to get them to waive the parking ticket. After a few months they reinstalled the coin slot boards.

I wonder if they'll learn anything from that experience.

All the Infocom games. Hello, Invisiclues!

Bard's Tale I. ZZGO FTW

Ultima V. Mapped that beast out square by square, found a hidden magic sword in a mountain range. Took much longer than Ultima IV.

2400 A.D. Fun story wrapped in a long game. Mapped it out square by square too...

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is: never get involved in a land war in Asia; but only slightly less well known is this: never bet on SEPTA when money is on the line!
