Sure - there are many I did not name but should be on the list, but this changes nothing.

Lack of accountability at all levels of the city; starting from our Mayor, down to Police, trash cleaners, streets division, and what not, yet they always come up with new positions that are supposed to make everything better and of course never do. And of course this spreads to contractors who can fuck up any intersection, sidewalk or street w/o having to worry about enforcement and fines. Honestly, Philly lives not because of its goverment, but in spite of it.

Whatever. This is where our running club meets but nothing lasts forever

>Philly isn't a huge retirement destination

I'm older than most people here, so I know quite a few New Yorkers who come for the retirement, taking advantage of much cheaper real estate and living in general . From my small sample size this is recent trend.

​

But I think you're wrong - there is no Philly capital gain tax afaik, although be happy to be corrected.

If you have a wage tax, why not tax the really rich who come here to retire and live off their retirement/capital ? As usual, salary earners bear the brunt of taxes.

He has my vote! I mean, lower/eliminate the wage tax while you're at it

We better quit while we're ahead

"sir, this is Philly"

​

srsly, my math is horribly off, as it's not 2^6, but (assuming any letter or digit is valid and can be at any position) 36^6 !

1 of 7 characters when you have the make, color, and the year, or years range, is way less than 2^(6). To my untrained eye, this totally looks like car he uses a lot, not a stolen one, for example he knows where the tools are stashed, looks like he's familiar with driving it, etc.

Anyway, I might be totally wrong, not going to die on this hill. But fuck him for real! There's something terribly selfish the way he goes about to make thousands of other people miserable.

I'm a techie myself yet the magic on CSI never failed to impress me, lol

My non-sensationalist brain knows that, but do we need to know for sure? We have (I assume) make and color, if not year, and even one character in the license plate, or a choice of 2-3, would narrow it down

But then it will come out he just wanted to piss off his Ex who was throwing a SB party

Why can't the police retrieve the license plates from the video? I know it ain't 4K but no tools to enhance/decipher available to the police?

I don't believe this is what the commenter meant, but in any case I'm not against this short because it's based on a children's book or that its intended audience is that age - not at all! Many, if not most legendary animated movies were made for children; I just happen to believe this one was made terribly heavy-handed with its "message" - children thought history loved and cherished books and movies which were way more nuanced about bringing a positive message and did not shy away from conflicts.

>I found it really sappy in a bad way.

"Hate" is obviously a bit dramatic here, but man, this is exactly why I couldn't stand it! I would be cool with any other short winning it, but I have to say The Ice Merchants was the most special and my fav.

Full, of platitudes, or nothing but platitudes? Some of the best children books are of course choke full of positive messages, platitudes if you will, but there is SOME dialog, SOME action that paves the way for the message. However, this short had NOTHING but a message which was hammered again and again ad nauseam. Maybe you have a personal history with the story, fine, I'm stating my opinion and as you can see I'm not the only one. And I had a full lifetime of reading stories to my kids and now to my grandchild

Watch it, and then report back.

I could not agree more; only diff for me the audience was way too polite, I didn't want to be the first to scream, lol.

All the other pieces are good, but there's some magic to the Ice Merchants that's very rare.

lol!

Don't want to write spoilers, but this was a good one, some scenes absolutely crashing it.

That's almost cheating, but I'm allowing it 🥹

... and fire them after 24 hours, lol.

Anyway, it's nice to dream every now and then! enjoy your day :)

>You get whatever resources you need, but only 24 hours to complete your project

Damn! Maybe at the line for the popcorn and drinks? Thats the only place I regularly see crowded lines and even there it doesn't resemble a real crowded place. Other possibility would be if they squeeze into their seats when people are already seated; i always keep my wallet in me front pocket. Anyway, thanks for warning everybody and lets hope these assholes are nabbed soon!

Second that! Was it a pickpocket operation? Was it at the Regal? I've been there a few times and never faced shady situations ot tight crowds where pickpockets operate
