This app is very useful for practice and it's from the state. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nicusa.pdt

It’s temperature dependent, too. Basically, if it’s above freezing, the reaction is accelerated and more electrons are lost.

I didn't realize that salt corroded car bodies differently in other states.

It's pretty easy. But keep studying anyway. I can't remember the site I used bc it was so long ago, but there is a website that has practice tests you can take. I believe they are the same questions PennDOT uses. I'll try googling it for you.
I found the site

If the mortgage is paid off, your father can quit claim deed the house to you or a sibling. He can also gift you any cash assests, annnuities, CDs, bonds etc.
The caveat is that the state can retroactively attach any assests he disposed of. Ohio goes back 5 years, not sure about PA. So you hope he lives that amount of time and a day if you go this route.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in I’ll never get tired of seeing a horse & buggy at the grocery stores in Amish country. by TyeDyeAmish
There is an ex-Amish guy named Eli Yoder who does some shorts and videos on youtube. He describes what it's like in "old order" Amish. I know it's one guy, but he includes other ex Amish. He talks about lots of things, good and bad, but mostly bad, lots of heavy stuff.
Does it mean they are all pieces of 💩, no, but they certainly aren't special..if anything, they are just like regular society, but they wear funny hats....

As someone who has neglected this advice, it's pretty solid advice. Your undercarriage and frame will thank you

I don’t know about huge — it’s a lot smaller than other ones around southern Pa. But yea great food, just always so damn crowded and squished in there.

I've always said what a double standard it is that you can get fined for not picking up dog poop, but a horse? Let it fly.

You'll notice he parked his buggy right in the middle of the parking lot. This is a perfect metaphor for all Amish.
Lived in Berks county side by side with these guys for a decade. Can't say I left with a positive impression of the Amish. They're a cult that are treated like some tribe of indigenous white people.

And make sure you wash the car early in the day, waiting later can possibly cause your doors to freeze overnight.

At least they are saving a lot of money since they don't need to buy gas.

This. A couple of extra bucks will save you 1000's in the long run.

If you can afford it, wash it at least every couple of weeks. As folks in coastal areas know, if you let it sit, it will eat its way thru.

Go find yourself a public interest lawyer. As even general practitioners have a tough time navigating thru this area of law, you'll get tripped up real quick and run the risk of losing it all to some bureaucrat.

Reply to Who is from punxsutawney ? And / or who was there to see Phil for groundhog day ? by Least_Firefighter639
In my experience (mid to late 90's) Ground hog day in Punxsy starts at 10p the night before. We have a few drinks at home or a bar then head out to Gobblers Knob. We spend all night standing in the cold drinking and whatnot...listening to music, dancing, howling at the moon and just having fun. In the morning they open the fake tree stump and pull the groundhog out (the one they put in there 20 minutes earlier) and tell us the prediction. By that time you want to go home. Your cold and tired and your buzz has worn off. Maybe you get breakfast then go to bed. It was fun, I remember a lot of people climbing and falling out of trees, maybe that's why they cracked down on drinking. Idk. I would say maybe 2k people, I think it's better attended now and a little more family oriented, but I haven't been there in almost 30 years.

Salt In PA is very corrosive. It’s best to get as much off as much as you can

Everyone went downtown to “The Burrow” and started drinking. Many are still recovering.

Sounds like you don't know anything at all. The Amish are so well known for inbreeding that they're subjects of numerous medical schools. https://www.medschool.umaryland.edu/endocrinology/Amish-Research-Program/
And yes, a majority of trump fanatics are white trash lol
