Not sure if to put in P&R or not. But it's interesting.
It's about the North Korean missile launch. And what happened in J Land

Might as well start a new thread in P&R.

RP&R#27 is too full of girlboy.
It's glorious and you know it.

Looks like that package I sent you is going to arrive in your area around Friday, Ramy.

At least you don't have to worry about flooding or power outages like I did/had.

Yeah. You guys are getting hammered.

Hang in there.~
Harvey has already passed my area. Skies are clear, the raining stopped yesterday evening, and the power came on yesterday morning.

Houston is the one getting hammered. I have a couple of relatives there, but they already evacuated to their lake homes here in Canyon Lake (I thought they were idiots to do so, because when they evacuated, it looked like Harvey was going to stick in the area for days).

I wished I evacuated with them. I just wanted to see what a hurricane does (last one that hit this area hit in the 70s, before I was born). Last time I do that....

I mean.

Lake Erie hurricanes aren't really a concern. And when Sandy hit NY/NJ I got two days off while it rained and caused little-to-no serious problems.

Tornados, on the other hand, have a habit of *** up the areas I live in.

It's real. They did the same thing to Final Fantasy Adventure (Adventure of Mana) last year, but only released it on Mobile and Vita.

Sure, send it our way.

It will probably trickle out before it hits Missouri, but it's worth a shot.

Was just informed that both of my relatives who live in the Houston area, the two that evacuated to Canyon Lake, both of their houses are probably under water due to a levee breech from Columbia lakes that they both live downstream to. They both live(d) in Freeport.

Looks like my weekend plans have been determined for me...somewhat.

/grabs a mop and bucket.

edit: don't worry about us though, I'm 100% sure that they both have flood insurance.

I remember there was that tornado out in like the Herminie, PA area around 4 years ago. I drove through there afterwards along this one road, and I couldn't believe my eyes. The trees were just like snapped in half, and disfigured, looked like nothing I'd seen before.

Yeah. That tore right through Fort Allen (near where I now live). Had a few coworkers whose houses got tore up.

Actually back in 85' a tornado went through my hometown. It was a really nasty one.

That article mentions it going down Pennsylvania Ave., which is where I lived. My brother-in-law lived down the street and it went right through his bedroom. Tore off that side of their house.

Aight, fam. Hypothetical question time.

Info: At age 15, i went to get my learner's permit, my mom handed me my SSN card and sent me up to the guy working the DMV who gave me ***because she laminated it prior to giving it to me. He DID accept it but he DID give me ***for it. Because of this, my card is laminated and unsigned. which brings me to this..

The back says:
"DO NOT LAMINATE" but it doesn't say it's invalid if you do so.

It also says "This card may be invalid if unsigned unless age or disability prevents a signature." so I can't exactly sign it.

Being that my mother laminated it before giving it to me at age 15 (so I was a minor) would this completely invalidate the card if I were getting a job, applying for benefits, claiming lottery or casino winnings, receiving an inheritance, getting married, applying for a passport, etc?

Technically it's invalid. Go to your local office and get a new one.

Go to a social security office and request a fresh one if you're worried about it.
I'm guessing most people, short of government offices, couldn't really give two shits though.

I need to do the same myself. I signed mine when I was like seven (not that my cursive has improved any) and now it's beaten to hell, the edges are pulling apart, it's covered in "wallet dirt", and it probably smells like weed.

It does technically invalidate the card, but it doesn't invalidate the information on the card.

So as long as you can prove that your identity is "Stinky Oklahoma McStinkface" most people don't care if it's laminated or not. Because odds are, the SSN on that card is still correct.

But essentially this:

Yeah, you should totally get it tattooed on your forehead. That way, you will never forget it. Just bring a mirror with you at all times.

Besides, everyone knows that if you are going to forge a Social Security card, you need to make sure that:

1) The first 3 numbers is in the 900 range, otherwise it's fake.
2) The second 2 numbers has to be 00, otherwise it's fake.
3) The last 4 numbers has to be all the same, otherwise it's fake.

fact.

Was that necessary?

If you would like, I can create a thread in P&R about Hurricane Harvey, so you can throw your tantrum in there.

That doesn't need to be here in RT.

Edit: There, created that thread. People here are more than welcome to discuss Harvey there, even if it doesn't have to do with the government's response. I really don't want P&R crap here.

The answer is No.

As long as you know your SSN by heart; physical copies of a drivers license and a birth certificate will suffice.

The hypothetical part came in when I was reading the rules of the OK lottery after checking my numbers the morning after the $758mil dropped. It says I need my license and my SSN card. Being the lottery commission, I figure if I did win more that $5k, they'd deny me due to my SSN card.

THEN I realized I'll need it (back in reality) to get a job. >.>

EDIT: Winnings up to $600 can be collected at any location that sales tickets while winnings of $601-$5000 can be collected at a certain locations selected by the lottery commission. Winnings of $5001 and up have to be collected at the lottery commission HQ in the state capital.

The "Greater than $599.99" rule is actually a tax law regarding payment reporting.

As for the $5k+ only at the commission, that's your state's regs. Every state is different, but it's there to prevent fraudulent tickets from occurring at satellite locations.
