Reply to comment by BMPW666 in Burning Coal Country (Part 2): What Pa. DEP has to say about the underground fire in Schuylkill by JustSomeF-ingGuy
The article does say that PA DEP claims they are not connected, but they also admit:
>that monitoring had been limited to surface surveys with "thermal imaging cameras."
So, it is very possible that there is a connection deeper than what they have probed. It almost seems like the DEP is fearful to actually discover that connection.

Reply to Multiple Residents of Bucks and Montgomery Counties Charged with RICO and Other Crimes by IamSauerKraut
Whoa! My family went to one of their practices for a few years, and there was always ridiculous turnover with hygienists, etc. to the point that we never felt comfortable with their work, or their care suggestions.
Left them behind and went to a new place that may be the best dentist I've had in all my life.

Reply to comment by continuity0 in Did the train at the Franklin Institute use to move? by Zyoy
We were there in 2022 for the Harry Potter exhibit and the pictures of them bringing in the train were there.
You had to go all the way past the train to the back wall, and they were just kind of thrown in that area. Shame, too, as it is a really interesting story and the pictures are great.

Reply to Annual Reminder: Make sure you check the PA Treasury Department Unclaimed Property Website by WookieeSteakIsChewie
Does anyone know how far down "heir" goes? My Mom's Grandmother is on the list, and she is long deceased. My Mom is not the executor of the Estate, though, and the original executor is also deceased. My Mom is an only child so no one else would be a claimant at this point.
Seems like a decent sum, so what would we have to provide?

That one with 2 votes is amazing. True evidence that every vote counts, and why you should always make an attempt to get to the polls.

Reply to Its Official, Dems Have Filliped The House & Control the Governor's Position by pittpanther999
Wow! I expected them to get close, but right now it looks like a 102-101 advantage. I'm guessing they have enough from their polling to believe it will stay that way, or get better.
Incredible.

Oh, you mean the Trump flags with obscenities written on them that literally line a sidewalk that kids use to get to a local Elementary School in my neighborhood? Classless garbage.

Reply to If we flip the State House, I will have hope for this state for the first time ever. by DoctorSteve
It doesn't look great, right now, but it does seem very possible that the Dems will pick up at least 10 or 11 seats, and put the split around 104-99, which is much better than what it has been for them.

Reply to comment by ThatGuyOutBackMUT in The Culture War Is Alive And Well In This Pennsylvania School District by zaraalbro
Way to hyperbolize the actual incident.
The book was Gender Queer which is not a "pornography" book, but a personal memoir. The teacher had it in their class, but it was not being read to the students, nor was it offered to them in any way, shape, or form. I will agree that it is not appropriate for 7th graders, without parental consent as it ventures into some explicit content, but this situation is more of a mole hill than some are portraying it to be.
Teachers should be informed about the discussions occurring around their classrooms, so the teacher having it in their possession should not raise any alarms. The fact that the School District is considering further action against the teacher is the more alarming fact here.

Reply to Shanghai Disney: Visitors unable to leave without negative Covid test as park shuts by xerexes1
So strange to see this.
I was just at WDW in Orlando for 10 days and obviously the threat of COVID is there everyday, but things just continue on. Guaranteed that Shanghai Disney had it floating around everyday, so why decide now is the time to trap people inside?

I'm 100% on board that the debate was a disaster, but I'm going to wait on a poll that doesn't have a "B" rating, and has only been around 67% accurate, historically.
Definitely will see tightening across the board, though.

> Remains were found Nov 2012 when people were digging in the area for relics.
This is the part that is amazing to me. Up in that area there are acres upon acres of abandoned/old mining areas. The fact that those people were in that specific area to find those remains is something out of a movie.

Reply to I’m a PA mom who is suing my children’s school district over this shocking curriculum by dissolutewastrel
Here's another article about the lawsuit - https://local21news.com/news/crisis-in-the-classroom/parents-sue-west-shore-school-district-for-new-character-strong-curriculum
The craziness is absolutely dumbfounding:
>In the suit, one parent wrote: Not every human is deserving of my child's empathy.
The "love" of Jesus Christ's followers on display.
