The Pump House at the Waterfront (Homestead). Not south hills, but really cool historical place

It looks like your ability of abstracting is pretty low. 😋 I both cases those are Time series (you cannot represent accumulation without it). In case you have cumulative function, in another it is either simple f(x) =x or average skidding window. So comparison is very fair.

So the solution for kids who aren't being educated is to... refuse to educate them?
And we do have neighborhood schools. That's what Allderdice is. It's a public school. If you live in the neighborhood, you go to that school. Same thing with Mount Lebanon. Students who go to Allderdice are a part of the community already.

Fuck a duck. Okay so I'm moving there later this year and saw some posts but didn't put two and two together until right now.
As of now it depends on where you live. Some neighborhoods have great access with frequent bus service. As you stray further away from those that service the universities that tapers off. I've lived close to CMU, Shadyside, and now on outskirts of the city where I don't have the same level of access. Each move has definitely seen a reduction the further away from hotspots, relying on Uber hasn't always been great. This is a car city, and not set up for biking well. Bus is the main transit mode with the T only servicing portions of the city.
I don't see SEPTA getting THIS bad (at least not for years) but it's a gradual reduction of stops over the course of years. They hack away a few stops at a time, typically choosing which they think are used the least I think and reducing stops and spacing them out or eventually eliminating them completely.

The REAL question is what do you tip when Pizza Hut adds a $4.99 delivery fee (this is not a tip to the driver) so I usually add another $5 but $10 for delivery is ridiculous.

It was. Voters of the town finally lifted the ban in 2015.

It's like you are being purposely obtuse.
For you, a single landlord, perhaps you arent price gouging and seeing record profits, great you might be one of the good ones.
But when you look at big companies and realestate investment firms you see those enormous numbers in their PROFITS.
I don't need to know their operating costs, I dont need to know their revenue, all I need to know is that their profit it INCREASING!
If you charged someone $100 rent last year, your operating costs were $60, and you made $40 fine. Next year you charge $120 because your costs went up $80, your profit is still $40. Fine!
But if you charge $250 the next year just because you feel like it and your costs still only went up $20 to now $100, you just made $150 profit for no reason. You are now an asshole!
Good business means you are including in your costs savings for improvements and emergencies. If a company sees an up in their costs and then ups their prices their profit wouldn't increase it would remain steady. Instead we see massive leaps in profit and that should be unacceptable.

Wasn't Bellevue a dry town until recently or am I getting confused?

They took the carpets out. Left the old windows and bathroom stuff though so it didn’t seem like much to me. I remember asking them if I could get upgraded too since they kept raising my rent and they told me that they would as long as I was willing to pay “new tenant” rates. Landlords are a racket.

It is true that this is a problem everywhere. At least it seems they bothered to make some upgrades with the floors and counters for the next person.

I grew up in Washington County and my sister and I always asked this in high school because it seemed like everyone got delays and cancellations but us. I feel like we got a lot more snow though back in the 80s and 90s when I was a kid than we do now.
