I was gifted a rather expensive pocket knife from someone who worked security. They apparently end up with buckets and buckets of them.

I’m a native english speaker in the US. I started using 24 hour time on my devices years ago because it’s so common working in IT, and I wanted to make it easier to parse the time in log files.

only people I know who would understand it is because of some specific job, but I never hear it spoken.

Perfect. On top of everything else, we’ve got radioactive wasps to worry about now

I’m at a Primo Hoagies in Delaware county PA right now, and the entire staff is walking around quoting that Dan Deacon video drinking out of cups. 10/10 hoagie experience.

4 year old: why are we driving so slowly?
Me: because Paul Wall told us to?
Everyone else in the car:

My power went out for a few hours over night. Even PECO’s not ready for this Clipse album!

"They've got people making less than $46,000 a year with overtime," the PWD employee at the pump house said. "Paying someone that, and then paying us $2,000 a day? It's ridiculous."

Sleeping on cots, 24/7 shifts, and double time: How Philly is keeping water clean during the DC 33 strike As the strike carries into a second week, the city has relied on managers to fill essential jobs at Philadelphia's water facilities, paying them more handsomely than their DC 33 counterparts.

PWD is paying supervisors 24x7 while this strike goes on, including double time on weekends. I wonder how many hours of this would equal the raise DC33 is asking for?

Whoops, neither account I tagged is correct, and the edit post window has passed. Oh well 🤷

All the New Yorkers are confused because this is what their city looks like every week at trash day

A Belgian block street with trolley tracks down the middle. On the side of the street in one of the most historic neighborhoods in Philly is a mountain of trash

This box is so surprised

Yeah the coal through western Pennsylvania and West Virginia jumped out at me too

I say we take off and nuke the entire thread from orbit. It’s the only way to make sure.

Thats it you’re all blocked. Block block block block

Oh or like the guy who walks around a bar telling women he’s a feminist to make them comfortable around him?

Thanks, this thread has been very educational

I see you’re going to cover the cheesesteak, which is expected, but also don’t overlook Philly’s lesser-known but possibly better sandwich, the roast pork with sharp provolone and broccoli rabe

Repealed glass steagall, deregulated telecommunications, don’t ask don’t tell, DOMA, welfare “reform” - even putting aside the character issues, his presidency has not held up well

I’m always on the lookout for good shirts, so if you have a recommendation for somewhere that doesn’t do shit like this, it would be appreciated

They said it would be the war that pays for itself because of all the oil:

“Iraq has tremendous resources that belong to the Iraqi people. And so there are a variety of means that Iraq has to be able to shoulder much of the burden for their own reconstruction.”
