I'll leave to your judgement if weekly hackerspace Open Hacks could be considered "tech events" - if so, please feel free to include Baltimore Node – and here's a more specific list of our Events - thanks and feel free to let me know any questions (also might be possible to host other tech events at our space, if interested - keeping in mind it would be a group decision - so I can't personally myself commit to anything - but again feel free to inquire if interested)

It does not matter what the cause is, buses are too slow.

A great thing the city did was make Chestnut a bus-delivery avenue in CC. Traffic flowed. Buses were on time.

The fantasyland where one day cars will be smote from the Earth is never happening. You either make byways that are buses only, find a way to make light rail applicable in urban areas or drive a car.

why does anyone need a meter app to understand how to reduce their energy usage? "oh golly gee, you wouldn't believe it but having a Samsung Smart fridge, TV's on , and a million devices plugged into my outlets at all time made my electric bill go up. " it should be pretty common sense on how to lower your energy consumption. maybe deal with the heat a little bit instead of running constant ac, dress a little more cozy inside in for the winter, take a shorter shower that's not scalding hot.

Are you talking about the Dolly Parton program? If so, here you go:

"We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to serve our community over the last five years and share the gift of reading with so many young Pittsburghers. Since launching this program, over 14,000 books were sent to children and their families in our region. 

  We are sharing this letter with the news that we have spent the entirety of our grant funds supporting the Dolly Parton Imagination Library (DPIL) program for all City of Pittsburgh residents, and you will be receiving your last book in April 2023. There is nothing you need to do to cancel your membership – that will be done automatically on your behalf. Despite our best efforts, we were not able to find another program host; however, you are welcome to continue checking the Dolly Parton Imagination Library website to see if there are any other new programs serving your zip code. We are also working closely with the DPIL team to find other ways to continue supporting this program because we know how valuable it is for our families of Pittsburgh.  

  Thank you for your commitment to helping our young people gain the skills and critical reading habits that will help them succeed throughout their lives.  "
