Fireplaces (wood or gas) are already pretty common in the northeast. It's usually not enough to make an entire house comfortable, but it can keep your pipes from freezing.

Yes, you'll get an ID the same day you go to the driver's license center.

New cars should come with an inspection sticker that expires in like three years. It's just a waste of time and money.

It's a PennDOT thing, their job is to ensure mechanics are doing inspections properly. Each county has their own office, I believe.

Yes, you need the license to register your car. No, it doesn't make sense.
Just get it done as soon as you reasonably can and don't stress too much.

Why is it a problem if it takes a few days to count?
Or, you know, we could just let officials count the ballots as they arrive.

Townships are municipalities. Cities are not contained within townships, and townships are not within cities. Cities are a different kind of municipality. Townships can be urban, suburban, or rural.

Reply to PA Sheriffs Departments vs Most Other States Sheriffs by gruntville
State police are the default law enforcement in PA, and as far as I know that has been the case as long as the state police have existed.
Ultimately, sheriff's deputies are the officers of the courts - not cops. Sheriff's deputies can be (but are not necessarily required to be) fully qualified law enforcement officers but routine law enforcement is outside the scope of their duties. Deputies are eligible to serve in interdepartmental law enforcement groups like regional SWAT teams.
"We're a Commonwealth" comes up as a rumored explanation for a whole bunch of things, but it's legally meaningless.
There are a few other states (all in the northeast) where sheriff's deputies have a similar or even smaller role.
