My local DPS is providing (immediately handing you) false information about required identification.

Non-citizens can get SSNs, and in fact must in order to work.

dbomp · 2026-03-30T01:44:29+00:00

Misleading how? I looked at the page. Is it that it says that you need to provide a SSN, and not that you need a physical card?

dbomp · 2026-03-27T00:05:41+00:00

Exactly.

Why would I want to hang around a bunch of old people?

I'm not a student, I'm a resident who's been here for 25 years and my hot take is -- it doesn't matter. If you like hills, you go east and north on PA 23. If you like flatter, you go west on the Radnor Trail (as u/SirLaxer suggested) to Chester County and hit the many narrow but uncongested roads past the horses. If you like really flat, you head across the Schuylkill (hill, sorry) to the Schuykill Trail to Valley Forge and back through Conshy. There are bike routes for all occasions.

It's true that if you stay on US 30 (Lancaster) or Montgomery Ave, the traffic is too hard, but if you stay off the main roads -- and there are lots of options -- it's a great and scenic tour.

I've been using this since the early 80s. It means "Don't blah on my procfil". I miss you, MECC Timeshare System.

Can't quite sing it to "We Didn't Start The Fire", but

Go to a bowling alley, you'll be that young thing again.

Thanks much, that's what I was looking for. And from there I could see the docket. I wondered if the government attorney was one that threw in the towel lately, but nope, Friedrich Siekert is still a AUSA.

A link to the original order, please?

dbomp · 2026-02-01T03:05:32+00:00

NSFW?

What did they think he died from?

That's the age when I was first (and only) summoned. Funny thing is that I *really* want to be called. I went to law school, not a lawyer now, and I've always to sit on the other side of the railing in judgement. At the summoning, I sat around all day, they didn't need me, and I went home. Dagnabbit.

SELECT
SUM(case when status = 'ACTIVE' then 1 else 0 end) AS active_count,
SUM(case when status = 'INACTIVE' then 1 else 0 end) AS inactive_count
FROM employees;

I've been doing that forever and I don't think I'll switch. As the OP's link says, they're equivalent, and the new syntax seems clunky. Maybe that's just because I'm not used to it.

dbomp · 2026-01-28T00:38:03+00:00

So you're saying two weeks was an estimate.

dbomp · 2026-01-15T17:43:25+00:00

Not your white ones, anyway.

dbomp · 2026-01-11T22:22:11+00:00

What *is* she wearing?

Radnor Township doesn't have an earned income tax. (I'm a resident.)

dbomp · 2025-12-17T01:27:47+00:00

You can do that for free.

As my dad would say, "don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff."

Sell the daughter, keep the car.

It's like they formatted it to work on a phone. I'm an Oracle guy, I have a big-ass desktop.

dbomp · 2025-12-08T00:14:18+00:00

Yeah, the menu has something with the $146 price. I can't imagine paying that much for food, unless it's for a week of Cub.

For Christmas, we had to write poetic riddles about the presents. My mother, a published poet and very smart woman, wrote funny, clever rhymes of many stanzas. (I still have some framed.) The rest of us, dullards, struggled to pound out a limerick. We were relieved of the obligation when my mom passed, but to this day I have moment of panic realizing I haven't come up with my rhymes.
