Oh no! A felon doesn't like the way I'm acting. Damn! Little low on the totem pole to be telling anyone how they are acting is inappropriate there, your high-ness.

We got one that screws into the porch light. We have one mounted as well. They both send notifications to out cell phones. No subscription needed.

Eufy is one suggestion here. No subscription and all of your data lives in your base station in your house.

Though there are some security concerns that have been raised recently: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/12/eufy-publicly-acknowledges-some-parts-of-its-no-clouds-controversy/

> Shapiro clarified that... that commonwealth employees should feel comfortable “getting a cup of coffee” with their constituents.

Zero-tolerance policies don't work anywhere else*, so why would we expect them to work here? If the policy is really so strict that accepting a $1 bottle of water is against the rules, I would certainly bet that many employees were looking the other way. That leads to a culture where "everyone is doing it" and nothing gets reported because everyone has broken the rule at one point or another. I would expect it to be more effective to carve out reasonable limits with strict reporting requirements. That way, we have some visibility into who's buying Harrisburg's lunches, while having a line in the sand where people might actually be willing to blow the whistle if they see someone go over the limit or not reporting.

• (yes, I edited out the part of Shapiro's quote where he says 'zero tolerance', because clearly there is up to $36 worth of tolerance)

There’s an Introvert group in MeetUp.

theres a public comment survey at www.talkpatransportation.com where you can post all of these.

I honestly don’t think so. Working in oil/gas can be pretty brutal and I think a lot of guys just do it to get an easier job with government benefits but it definitely plays into the system.

I myself have looked into government work and some of the job openings will take “industry related” experience in lieu of a degree and then the higher up you go the dirtier it all gets.

I used to but not as much anymore

Us steel has signaled they don’t plan to upgrade the mon valley works and instead have bought an electric arc mill in Arkansas. I think the writing is on the wall that steel production will move out of Pittsburgh to areas with an abundance of cheap green electricity like hydro solar and wind. It’s going to take decades to wind down the area steel mills.

1.2 million jobs in the metro area. 4000 employees at US Steel and 1500 at ATI. Maybe there are 20,000 downstream steel manufacturing jobs.

Education and health 233,000 Trade and transport 200,000 Professionals 187,000 Government 106,000 Leisure 125,000 Financials 76,000 Manufacturing 83,000 Construction 64,000 Information 21,000 Mining 9000 Financials 76,000

I thought the corruption pipeline was "supposed" to go the other way - leaving a high-profile regulator's position to immediately lobby for the industry you used to regulate. Is the stint in the government job seen as a workaround to obtain a promotion, or something?

Did or do you still play a lot of video games ?

i definitely recommend hobbies! that’s how you make friends you have things in common with. there’s lots of sports pick up leagues, there’s poetry readings, there’s jazz nights. pick niche nights at bars, like trivia night or queer night if you’re lgbt. the best way to go in my opinion is to take this opportunity figure out what you actually like to do. trying to make friends for the sake of making friends can make it really hard to find authenticity. lastly, finding and doing things you’re interested in makes you more interesting and easier to find real connections.

SMH, few must be keeping track or there must be a lot of leeway with "gift ban" then.

Volunteer somewhere, join a club related to a hobby you enjoy.

1. Light rail/busway from downtown to the airport.
2. Expand the T/put in a busway from downtown to Oakland/Squirrel Hill/Frick Park
3. Expand the T/put in a busway from downtown up the Strip/Lawrenceville/the zoo
4. Expand the T/put in a busway on the north shore at least to the observatory
5. A network of protected bike lanes connecting every neighborhood in the city.
6. Dutch-style traffic signals.

Ebikes exist.

NA property tax rate is higher than the city. It just as desirable as ever and one of the few growing places on the region. The residents aren’t the ones suing here

I work in natural gas and can confirm. I have seen multiple people leave the industry and go straight to government jobs.

Reality: 61C at 10 min frequency

With funding: City-wide subway system

Sci-fi: No cars, everyone uses very reliable and affordable public transit

Check out pub and chip shop on the south side. Their tots kick ass.

Wow they have speed friending? I'll check it out tyty

This was posted either here or on r/pennsylvania last week, and it was clear most commenters hadn't read the article

Nope. She confirmed it in another post. Chitlin refers to pigs

“In what appeared to be a subsequent social media posting, Dawson again posted on Facebook ‘Kill all these chitlin (expletives). I said what I meant,’ ” the prosecutor wrote.”

I have 4 google nest cameras and they’re amazing. Only $12/month for the subscription and it holds 10 days worth of high quality footage. Add as many cameras as you like and it’s still only $12/month

They ain’t going to do shit to the teachers union. I suspect you’ll be audited for reporting it.
