Reply to comment by gerzzy in Potter County night sky - taken in mid September 2022 by PAPix1009
Yes it is. It is the faint dull green glow I see when I have gone on late night walks which rises in the east northeast late at night starting in September here in PA. To me, looking at this Andromeda Galaxy and looking out into the universe is a very mystical like experience. Andromeda Galaxy is 2 million light years away from earth.

Nothing wrong with doing dumb things, but unifying around them is another story.

Very beautiful! Love it! I love looking up at the night sky on clear nights where I live. Where I live, there are places I would walk after dark and would see this with milky way going across night sky. Always a beautiful sight to see.

Reply to comment by paintedwoodpile in Pa. drillers abandoned thousands of natural gas wells in 5 years, ignored state law, report says by WITFnews
The state regulations dont have the teeth, or capacity, to handle this and control the problem. And yet PA continues to expand drilling, and in dangerously close vicinity to populated areas.
Hell, in Elizabeth Forward theyre putting a well next to the damn school

According to their formula, one sip of Elixir confers seven years of immortality and Phil gets a sip every year. So he is definitely way over saturated and could share some with the wife.

That's not fair!
She should get 77% as much elixir of life as he does.

Well it's a Fox News report, so I take it with a grain of salt.

I wish people in both parties could see that this effects all of us. The people have more in common than led to believe.

Reply to Pennsylvania home is the entrance to a cave that’s been closed for 70 years by oldschoolskater
It’s so weird to just have that a basement. Couldn’t have a cooler Halloween party trick.
As I told the owner, I would think of it as the worlds biggest wine cellar. Cave/wine-tasting tour? Drunkenly stumbling in the dark may not be the best idea, but it still sounds fun.

Reply to PPL electric “accidentally” took a 3 month advance on automatic payments today by theREALPLM
This kind of crap is why I don't bother with autopay.
It really isn't hard to remember to pay your bill every month, not to mention you will see immediately if there are any wayward charges that appear, vs never seeing things like the above until they overdraft your bank account. It also seems too easy for the utility company to "accidentally" withdraw multiple months worth of utilities, and then of course take months to actually pay you pack the overage.

I went there when it reopened around a year ago. It was insane and the people are so great. The tour was FREE and they served a potluck meal afterward for goodness sake. (Bring some cash to leave a donation.)

They also are very adamant that Phil has never had children. There will NOT be a succession crisis.

So Phil has a wife but he can’t mate with her AND has to live forever?
What terrible thing did Phil do to receive this curse?

but how is a group of people coming together for a holiday that everyone knows doesn't make an impact on anything (other than bringing people together, as communities and society should do) hurt anything? Like why is that a big deal? It's not negatively impacting literally anything. It's just a fun/goofy thing to do to bring people together and lighten the mood lol
