The warrandale dis. 100% stole a laptop I sold a few yrs back and kept sending the empty box to and from Georgia. Tried everything to make the insurance claim and they just kept giving me the run around. 700 bucks down the drain.

USPS is alright. UPS is better, but FedEx sucks hard so I'll take them any day

The scanners can come by almost on the dot in oakland, based on their routes. IIRC, this also means your home is surveilled almost every 2 hours during enforcement hours. The photos can be requested by the police, or randos

Better question, why are there mounted cops at all? Why are tax payer dollars being spent on expensive police academy class pets? I bet most cops would rather get another PTO day a year than get to ride a horse that doesn't want to be ridden anyways..

Buy if you can

Parts of oakland go to 7 PM. There's also a one hour grace period in Oakland vs the 2 hour grace period in OP's pic (shadyside).

Where at on Pitt campus is that?

While you're waiting, be sure to read the old newspaper in the window, about when their root beer barrel blew up and wrecked the place!

although both Eide's and The Exchange both have a "trade for store credit" thing going on, i personally would rather use my store credit at Eide's than The Exchange because Eide's has a wider selection of things that i, personally, like.

if you're just looking for the be$t bang for your buck, i still believe Eide's is your best bet. they're all annoyingly pretentious...i get that. but they know their stuff and will give you a fair price. if you walk in with a bunch of disney VHS clamshells and expect top dollar, you'll get a hearty laugh all the way out the door. walking in with some rareties would make you a preferred customer for life.

also, and anyone from The Exchange * or * Eide's can correct me if i am wrong, i think The Exchange looks at "what did this item fetch on ebay lately?" and they'll price the item according to that. i do not believe Eide's does that. i hate when "experts" rely on ebay prices to determine value.

hope that helps!

By the Turnpike?

I have a copy of a book about a post-zombie world. Pittsburgh is one of the few surviving cities because they were protected by the rivers, making it easier to defend. It was a good concept. Too bad it was so poorly written, I couldn't get through it. (Tons of grammatical and spelling errors.)

I don't think many people interpret these signs as 2 hours per day. The sign should say per day in that case.

"15 min loading zones" have the same language. Should you only be allowed to load/unload once per vehicle per day?

Russian Troll Farm.

Seriously though, this seems like a foreign actor.

I mean, it's not like anyone has been killed b/c of swatti....

oh, oops.

I have frequent issues where packages sent to me have improperly covered old labels, and then they get stuck in an infinite loop because some centers read the new label and some read the old. I'm currently waiting on a package that's gone across the country 3 times. USPS was supposed to flag it for manual sorting but that didn't happen.

Homeless shelters

> we're at the endemic phase of the pandemic.

 
You don't know what that word means and you're misusing it.

 
Covid is the leading cause of death in America that isn't heart disease or cancer and it's going to continue to be that for the foreseeable future. Restaurants are incredibly good at spreading Covid.

 
> what we have in the way of harm reduction is what we're going to get.

 
And if people decided their version of harm reduction was getting out of a risky profession that paid like shit, good on them.
 
Every restaurant in this city that's closed recently has cited staffing concerns as a major contributor. People don't want to risk their lives for shit wages. I know people who used the pandemic to get out of the hospitality industry entirely and I doubt they're the only ones.

Nothing Earth-shattering or remarkable in this very bland article.

Protech Auto in Bellevue. My wife and I have been taking our cars there for years. Can't remember what their prices for inspection emission are though.

They do great work.

Anyone know if the Blue Flame in Clairton(?) is still open/any good?

I no longer live in the area but recall eating breakfast there at 0 dark thirty when I would occasionally go with my Dad to his jobsite at the Allegheny Mountain Tunnel project on the PA Turnpike in the mid '60's.

Great memories!

North, west, or east of city , that’s where I travel around mostly for work stuff

Watch out driving through Munhall as they are cracking down on everything. I haven't bothered getting my car inspected for two years and Munhall is the only place that pulled me over.

The whole USPS has been terrible these past few weeks. Twice now things have just randomly stopped in transit for unknown reasons.

Nah, we've found USPS to be pretty good. In contrast, FedEx Ground has been horrible for us.

I also see further down in the comments you're talking about Squirrel Hill- those apartments are probably more on the expensive side but most of them are in super nice old buildings and are absolutely worth it compared to those new luxury complexes.
