Someone called the migraine time coming in the Tuesday chat thread, IIRC, due to changes in temps over the end of the week (and pressure, I presume).

Reply to Kevin Hart gives back to hometown Philly donating 5,000 Fabletics scrubs to Temple by ColdJay64
What /u/TellYouWhatitShwas said and what the article has conveniently omitted: Kevin Hart is a spokesperson for that brand, it's like Michael Jordan donating Nike basketball shoes or that Subway guy doling out free sandwichiches.
So he is not "giving back" shit: this is a PR campaign for his brand to make him and others more money in the long run. Don't dress it up like he's selflessly tearing away anything from himself, is all but a smart business move.

Reply to UPDATE: FBI agent who fatally shot dog leads the bureau’s Philly office, sources say by Banglophile
> But video of the incident, captured by security cameras outside the apartment building, paints a more complicated story, according to a source who reviewed it.
> The footage shows Maguire sitting on a bench with her own small dog in her lap as a woman walking two other dogs passed by. One of the dogs — the pit bull — suddenly dragged her owner toward Maguire, snatched the small dog off the agent’s lap, and began aggressively shaking it, the source said.
> Maguire threw herself into the fracas and tried to separate the dogs, eventually drawing her weapon and placing it directly against the pit bull’s backside before shooting the animal once in its hindquarters, according to the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.
I have no problem with this.
Could had been a small child.
Control your fucking dog.

Reply to Where to buy crème fraiche by coreytrevor
Do not buy US alternatives (Vermont, I think, produces some variant), - they are complete and utter shit.
If Whole Foods doesn't have the OG one - look up where the brand distributes elsewhere in the States, but it was spotty (I didn't see it anywhere else).
Bart's Bagels on Lancaster has their in-house cream cheese that is the closest thing to creme fraiche I've found.

Reply to comment by BearBong in Any reccos for a Philly tax accountant who can help a NY-remote employee file properly? by BearBong
Yeah, I am not a CPA, but in my personal experience - you shouldn't be on the hook for any tricky tax scheme (and if they have anything NYC taken out of your paycheck while you live in Philly and pay city wage tax - talk to a proper tax person ASAP as possible).
Any local CPA should be fine otherwise (can't direct you to anyone specific, since I use either H&R Block or family does it for me).

So which is your place of residence? If you live in Philly and claim to be in NYC for tax purposes (beats me why) - that sounds like fraud to me (IANAL and IANACPA, though).
If you live here and work remotely for an NYC business - shouldn't matter (I am in similar situation, never had an issue).

What are you trying to say? If one brings all the paperwork that is initially required for the REAL ID to renew one - they won't be able to get it?
The resource I linked is a catch-all for getting a REAL ID, for the first time or to renew one. There's no need to breed further confusion by splitting hairs trying to understand bureaucracy.

Leather weather and day drinking.
A show at KFN or Fillmore or JB's, then El Bar (or whichever dive is closer) until last call.
No arrests or ER.

Thank you for clarifying.
80 hour long weeks are nonsense already, but with that kind of pay it’s straight up absurd.

I've walked by NoChe countless times and never bat an eyelash, after this piece they'll be my next stop for a few cocktails.
The Swedish place looks interesting as well (no deer heart - no sale, though).
