the random musings not worthy of new thread thread

The medians really skew those results, because of how the wealth is distributed within those counties. At least that's true in my county.

A median doesn't skew nearly as badly as a mean.

Regardless, since when does income define wealth?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

At first I thought you were saying something really deep about true wealth not being defined by money, but I quickly realized that wasn't the case. Moneyloving cretin. GO VOTE FOR ROMNEY, DICK.

[rjs246]

I would say that is unlikely to happen.

You're still a fleshpop

A refreshing fleshpop?

Not really. The counties in Cali are massive compared to the East Coast. I lived on the outter edge of LA County and was stll about 70-80 miles from LA. So all of the money floating around in downtown LA or Beverly Hills or any other rich neighborhood is balanced out by the ghettos in Compton, Watts and all the poor desert trash that lived out near me.

You lived in the butthole of the United States. You only survived because you are equally a butthole yourself, so game recognized game.

I have nothing to add to this conversation other than to say you're a butthole...and that I now have an iPad, so we can use facetime and see each other's packages. They should rename it pixley package time because that's what it looks like and that's what people are going to use it for. Genitalia.

My drivers license expired back in 2009.  No biggie since PA allows indefinite extensions on licenses for active duty military as long as they are serving out of state.  So now that I'm back in PA, I have 45 days to renew.  I figured I'd have to provide my discharge paperwork along with a copy of my orders to California, but I just called PennDot and the process is surprisingly simple.  Just did my registration online (no additional documentation needed on my part to show why I haven't renewed in 3 years) and printed out a temp license until my camera card comes in the mail.  There's also a photo license joint about 2 miles down the road from my house which will save me the half hour drive to the closest DMV.

Also, props to PennDot's customer service.  Minimum wait time (maybe 2 minutes) and spoke with a very pleasant lady who explained everything to me.     

The Maryland MVA is the worst. Plan on a 45 minute stay, or longer, whenever you walk in the place.

The one in Elkton is pretty quick.  Very efficient lines and process.  I was just down in Bel Air last week to get a criminal background check and the Bel Air office though old looking was quick as well.

the md express mva's or whatever they are called are fantastic

Don't get used to friendly PennDOT customer service. Exception and not the norm

I've only dealt with PennDOT on the phone twice in the last 5+ years.  The first was just prior to my license expiring when I called them to find out if I needed to notify anyone that I was out of state active duty since my license was due to expire (I didn't) and that phone call was just as quick and pleasant as my most recent call to them.  So I'm actually 2 for 2 in dealing with them on the phone. 

Also, I forgot how farging awesome PA is when it comes to vehicle registrations and insurance.  Registration is only going to be $36 per vehicle (vs $200+ per vehicle in Cali).  And my insurance is less than half of what I was paying in Cali.  This is much welcomed news given my unemployed status.  And there's a Fast Tags right next to the Photo Licensing Office just down the road from my house.  So I will get my new photo license and register my vehicles in less than 45 minutes.

I just realized my license expired on my birthday. I'll be sure to post back here about the renewal experience #lamestconversationever

[hbionic]

Actually, I had the same experience as you when I went to a bar. Fortunately, they were cool, but I do remember filling out that renewal a long time ago...I haven't received it. I was thinking its because I'm black. But I don't think so. Maybe though.
