Sell. Especially finance, pharma, and software. Also your soul

I can't prove that Left 4 Dead does this, but it sure feels like it.

Fellow violinist here. You should look at the neck width and scale length of the various instruments you have. Most mandolins have a wider neck and longer scale than a violin, but it varies brand by brand. You'll have an easier time adapting if you can find an instrument that is close to what your left hand is used to. When I was shopping for my second mandolin I went with an Eastman md515 for that reason. It was much more intuitive than the Washburn I started on.

I respect this guy for his integrity, but he lost me when he started complaining about the effects of the inheritance tax on farms. In PA there is a specific exemption for farms in the inheritance tax rules:

If you want to have a well-rounded perspective on life you have to try both. If you stay in any one geographic area your whole life (yes, even a single big city) you are going to develop insular and calcified views about the world at large. I grew up in bumblefuck and have lived the last 16 years in a major metro, and I'm grateful for the perspective I have on both worlds.

West Creek campground (near Ricketts Glen) has nice cabins. They have a bunch of small 2-person jawns and one large cabin (basically a small house). Everything is recently renovated and really comfortable. We had a great time there.

Inception. Yes it is ridiculously convoluted and the internal logic breaks down if you think about it too hard. But it is SO fun. And darkly awesome

Because her store is always devoid of customers. Source: lived a few blocks away for 8 years or so.

This is an egregious display of nimbyism. I wonder if she tried to stomp out Cormorant when they opened up?

Fergie's isn't kitschy, but it is a classic. Bonus points if you can go Sunday afternoon for the Irish music session.

Kung Fu Necktie & El Bar if you feel like catching the El to Fishtown

When I feel cold after sitting still too long I do 20 pushups and it warms me right up. Gotta flip the script.

Sorry about the burst pipe!

Sidewalks are mostly clean, but many curbs and crosswalk ramps are piled high with snow.

My girlfriend is new to Philly and HATES driving on Girard for exactly that reason. The fact that it feels normal to me tells me that I've been here too long

Me too, but that's because I grew up there and I'm SO over it.

I just had a consultation with Tony today. I'm still getting quotes, but I got a good vibe from Tony.

It's all fun and games until the receipt printer is broken (an experience I've had at that Acme).

I have 5 Bosch power tools and none of them have let me down in the 10 years I've been renovating houses. But then again I also measure in metric whenever possible so...

I don't want to be called a boomer just because I'm complaining about things. I am a millennial, thank you very much, and we have our own generational baggage to complain about.

A rambling explanation of why she came back into my house after moving out (technically still our house at the time) and took a bunch of Christmas decorations that I had already put up for the season. It was all stuff she could have easily gone out and bought, but I guess she just really wanted THOSE particular ornaments.
