The Philadelphia Battery Company.

Ford bought them in the early 1960's.

I have a tube Philco radio I used to listen to Pens games on when I smoked in the kitchen in the mid 90's.

When is the last time they lost 2 games in a row where they had a grand slam?

Rough especially with the 2 dynamos pitching
It's (with a loss in both games) happened something like four times in the last 50 years.

Agreed. That's a beauty. People post consoles on r/vintageaudio almost daily and most are utter crap solid state units from the late 60's and ones from the 70's that are made out of plastic.

In the past few days I've noticed a muffled POP coming from my exhaust (only) when I start my car. Google says it could be fuel in the exhaust system. Anyone ever experience this?

All I have is Walmart, Giant Eagle and a lame Shop n Save, you’re goddamn right I’m going to Cranberry for Wegman’s. It might not be cheaper than Giant Eagle but the quality is far better.
I have one 10 minutes from me.

It's too expensive so I only go occasionally.

Please. Anyone who would trust anything the biased NYT would say on anything is obviously dumber than a bucket of s**t.
Are you disputing their reporting that Alito flew that flag in his NJ beach house?

So they made it up?

I think the bigger news here is Troy finally posted a twitter.com link instead of x.com
I read recently that Elmo is going to pull the twitter domain name soon so you can say bye to viewable tweets here.

just learned about “autorotation” aka a heli landing after the engine goes out

My brother had to do this and survived. It was a Bell one but smaller than the Iranian president died in.

Helicopters are a dangerous and lucrative game.

Also, events other than increasing the money supply cause inflation. Like the supply chain disruptions due to the pandemic and the Saudi's deciding to cut oil production.

There's no question that food manufacturers have raised prices to increase profits.
