> They know who they have money for.

They don't.

There is no tie between a name and a physical person. Unlike a social security number. Names are not unique. And even if they were, there is no definitive database of addresses where checks can be sent.

> automatically write a check

What address are they writing on the envelope for the check?

> Comcast owes me like $300 from some kind of settlement from a decade or so ago, but I can’t get the money because I don’t have a copy of my lease from back then.

Maybe the address of the Comcast contract?

Philly Frankford Ave for me!

So I had missing property. Nothing much, it was like a $0.60 check from Google. It never got cashed because it was addressed to an address I haven't lived in since I was a kid.

If they started writing checks and sending them out, how would they get my current address? Otherwise, wouldn't it just go right back into the system?

I mean, they aren't mutually exclusive. Aside from the budget not being a single monolithic pot in either sources of funding or use requirements, a line cook at the dining halls is not much good as a machinist at ARL and vice versa. Or to throw my old job under the buss, as a Systems Designer I would make a shitty Office Admin.

Just know that the layoffs will be in student services staff and facility jobs (while mandating overtime of those left, not in faculty or management. As a local, former staffer, and alum I am very familiar with how this plays out. Executive and faculty positions and pay are protected while those on the lower end of the compensation scale get cut.

It does from a financial perspective. Get rid of older higher salaried employees and replace with new starting salary employees. Sucks but that’s how the game is played.

How would that make a difference getting pulled over at night if you’re driving 40mph past a cop?

Well said

From a December 2021 Sports Illustrated article: “Penn State's board approved a five-year contract worth $1.3 million annually, which includes a $950,000 base salary and $350,000 in supplemental retirement contributions.”

Correct. The Giant used to be on the other side of the bypass and Market Street, behind Friendly's. The Pathmark was tucked back behind the Camp Hill Shopping Center (aka Camp Hill Mall for a while), where LA Fitness now stands. When Pathmark left, Giant moved in, and then when Montgomery Ward departed, Giant refurbed that space and moved to where they now stand.

Another trivia bit (correct me if I'm wrong): The space the Giant lives in, before it was Montgomery Ward, was a Korvette's, which closed in 1980.

my family had been there for 250 years, I've moved to Philly. Just isn't a friendly area for someone like myself, and rather boring. So much more to do in Philly, just not as much easy access to hiking.

I have been there before. When you have to pay with change to put gas in your car. I would not say this to a young person lightly. It may not be want we want to do, but there is financial aid. Yes, it's ugly and it can put you into debt. But if you're responsible and invest in yourself, it can work. Most schools have jobs on campus you can make a few extra bucks between classes. Its not for everyone, but joim the National Guard. Tuition will be basically free at State schools including most community colleges. Don't be discouraged until you look at everything thats out there. Then you have to be willing to put that extra time and work into it. Do that, commit to that and you will move yourself forward. Maybe not as fast, but you can make slow and steady progress.

dont worry guys, im sure the administrators pensions will be fine. I know this is what we were all concerned about.

I appreciate that you think that, but when you have 40$ left over at the end of every week, and the closest community college costs 10k in tuition, it's just really not doable. I understand you did it, but that does not mean I have the same means or circumstances as you.

What i am saying is simply statistical. Because we have less people in the 18-24 age range, means less are going to college. They're still going, except there is not as many in the population.

If you want to go to school you can. Maybe you can't go away to school, maybe you have to start a community college part time. Its simply not accurate you can't make it happen, if you really want it. Stop listening to all the people saying how difficult it is. Life is difficult. The good news your young, this is the time to go after it. I put myself through school with no help from anyone. Don't say you can't, because you can.

I feel like it's a little disingenuous to say young people aren't going to college because there's less of us. As a person in that age range, no matter how much I may want to go to college, it's just not feasible to do so when you can't find a job that pays more than 14$ an hour and most of that goes to rent and food :(

Also you typically only have 10 days to get your car inspected once registered in Pa 🥴

It is true. Or way more than one car would be in violation. Factory tint has long been a standard. There is a code on the glass that states this. I am not an office, but I would assume they need to be trained on it. Not to mention easy to tell difference between factory and added tint. Factor the glass is tinted, aftermarket it's a film on the window.

Factory tint is federally approved. It will not violate state law.

If your car came factory without a catalytic converter then yes you will pass emissions. Cars had different emissions over the years, you are required to pass the emissions for your year.

Factory is different, but that's tinted glass and not tinted windows. There will be a decal/code whatever it is on your window stating the federal code or whatever it is.
I have mine tinted 35%. On certain angles it can look dark, but it's not. If I was pulled over, you would be able to see in perfectly fine.
Just don't go super dark and do stupid things to get pulled over and you should be fine.

Wow that's crazy. They used to be the big shop in town in the 90's.

Just some cheese. My wife would add mayo and fried onions. I do not like mayo.

The answer is an inverse proportion. How dark is your skin?

do you want every cop in every jurisdiction to have a reason to pull you over anytime they want to? then go ahead and tint away
