SETPOINT in Regent Square

American Judo Hapkido in Clairton. They do a bunch of women’s self defense classes. My kid does martial arts there.

very helpful contribution. thank you.

What is her age and general health status?

Maybe check into a JCC and ask about their krav maga or other classes: https://jccpgh.org/jccpghvirtual-live-schedules/

I’m not aware of any places smoking seitan/jackfruit abominations and calling them ribs.

Weird it's almost like the entire legal system revolves around them....

I get that A lot of people aren't able to participate from the selection process. It's life. You're doing what's best for you. I respect that.

And if you were asking for fed GJ. That's not me.

That’s great. I tend to avoid things that can even remotely land me in legal trouble. But you do you.

This is 100% the right answer.

Any self-defense situation requires instinct and reaction based on repetition after repetition after repetition which you get from months/years of training, not a one time course.

These courses are taught with 100% compliant attackers which isn't the case in reality.

Yeah, it does seem really interesting and most internet responses from people that have done it seem to really enjoy the experience. If I didn’t have the unique situations I’m in, I think I would largely welcome it. Law has always interested me and it seems like sitting on a grand jury might be pretty neat.

I just don’t like how it is for so long. I don’t see how they can make you commit up to two years of your life and there is nothing you can do about it, especially when regular jury duty is so light in comparison. Seems like more of a punishment

Grand jury?

I agree, just trying to stick with the BBQ theme.

Double wide is the perfect spot to especially if going out with people who aren't vegetarian

Double Wide actually has a bunch of vegan options, and they are quite good. The Suavacado and the sandwich with veggies on it are great in addition to the cheesesteak.

Not any that I know of that would truly be BBQ.

Comparable to spak bros, Double wide in south side has a seitan cheese-steak that they use a BBQ sauce on. I've also had an amazing braised "beef" seitan banh mi from Ineffable Cafe but I think they only have those during limited times (it isn't on their website menu)

Smoke in Lawrenceville has a good bit of vegetarian options that might add some of the smokey BBQ flavor but they don't have any homemade meat alternatives, just things like mushrooms/beans

Edit: I've never been to The Zenith but is supposed to be awesome and they have weekly menus so maybe in the summer they'll do a BBQ week?

This is the way

Lucky you...I know a couple people who ignored jury summons & shortly afterward had a sheriff knocking at their door...they were told if they ignored any others that came their way, that they'd go to jail

Spak bros has a vegan bbq pizza.

Maybe onion maiden makes something bbq ish but they're closing soon.

Chop self defense course. Take the bullets bitch.

You should do it! And you have to keep us updated how it goes. Good luck!

I have in Pittsburgh. they won’t make you do it if you have a compelling reason that you can’t (even beyond the questions they’ll ask at the selection process). I will say it was one of the most interesting experiences I’ve ever been a part of. And it is for 18 months but it can and usually is stretched out into 24 months.

A grand jury is just to determine if a prosecutor has enough evidence to indite. There is no voir dire like for a trial jury.

And what it encourages is people saying shit they don't necessarily believe to try and get off the jury. Some folks have a job that will pay them their normal wages or a difference between what the court pays and their normal wages if they have jury duty, but it's not a legal requirement. So what you logically wind up with is pressure towards more well off people being on juries.
