Please don't, I don't feel like re-doing my twitch emotes.

Depicting the Penn family coat of arms for the Philadelphia city flag and the Keystone on the State flag is my dream.

No covid paid leave mandate in PA.

philly's response is that they will just come clean it up on tax payer dime but never do anything to prevent it. constant dumping under 95 and they come once a week to clean it out. would they ever think to patrol there? or use cameras to fine people. nah. too easy.

Because I have a strong emotional reaction to it. That seems like the only important criterion to me. I find Roman Mars’s standards for a “good” flag to be arbitrary and random. You can’t apply “objective” standards to art, which is what flags are. To me, a good flag is one that stirs its inhabitants. A lot of Roman’s rules yield dumb-downed flags that look like the designs of children. Just the idea that you can use the Inquirer tool to design a new one supports that. Who would design Brazil’s glorious flag with that? Even if I couldn’t draw it from memory to save my life, I love it. Last, maybe my favorite part is the multiracial representation of the women in the seal. That gesture by itself is beautiful to me.

this would be used for a fire pit in the summer with limited storage space for stockpiling wood

I heat my entire house with a woodstove using scrounged wood I need to cut, split and stack.

I'd add that that list of no-go woods includes anything still green; treated/creosoted/painted/stained lumber; and any conifer.

No car?

Commuting from the city to Warminster every day will absolutely suck. You might want to look into towns that are closer but still somewhat vibrant. Consider Ambler or Doylestown - smaller towns, but still nice walkable areas, easy access to transit, decent food and things to do. Depending on your tolerance for sitting in the car you might be able to swing Chestnut Hill or Mount Airy which is technically "in the city" (it is fairly suburban though). Not sure about rush hour from there to Warminster though.

Give me a yellow liberty bell on a blue field please

I thought it was a hero

But just be sure about the wood you're taking, some shouldn't be used indoors.

A hoagie is a sub.

Wasn't complaining; just making an observation. And I complain far fucking less than a number of others on here. But you believe what you want.

I just wanna know when Wine Dive will be back 😔

A lot of people here thinking this post is taking away from crime-fighting efforts or something lol

I'm here to downvote you for complaining about downvotes.

Obviously not downvoting you for complaining generally, else I'd have to do that in every thread. Have you ever posted something positive?

I once went to a holiday party at the house of a vineyard owner. Their whole kitchen was set up with all types of wine choices. I said I was not a wine connoisseur, so id have whatever they recommend.

His advice was right on point:

"If you like it, drink it!"

If you can stock up over the summer when people do tree work, and let it season till the next winter, you really don't need to buy.

I'm late to the party on a downvoted thread, but here are my two cents:

If a random person can't sew the flag, it's too complicated. A flag is a piece of cloth that's generally fifty feet off the ground - it's best to construct something that works for that purpose.

The argument "I think it looks good" falls flat on this grounds - one might think the Mona Lisa looks good, but it would not make a good flag.

People arguing that Council has better things to do - this is literally never going to be on their agenda, so why waste energy arguing from that perspective? Philadelphia hates change so much that we got pissed we might kill fewer kids on Washington Ave. To not kill kids was too much change for Council. Why can't we have a little fun thinking about new symbols for the city, even if it won't happen?

To sum up: I think it should change, I know it won't change; you're allowed to have fun.

Philadelphia mandates paid sick time for all employees. Minimally you can use that if there is no longer mandated COVID sick pay.

someone mentioned you but didn't tag you, oddly.
