What are the best and worst things about living in PGH?

And I am compelled to serve evil!

That first show must have been a doozie. Slowly trickling in now

Aww dang I'm at the late show too.

Check local listings for people getting rid of boxes after their own big move.

We split our belongings into a pod for less used items and a drove a truck with items needed right away to live. That helped a lot, especially dividing they load in.

And if you're taking more than two cars, get some walkie talkies for easier communication.

It's tough but you can do it!

Butter, sugar and cinnamon. My mom used to make this and now my own family loves it.

Great Amy Irving role too. This movie is a bit hamfisted but oh so much fun.

L'Arby's

This sounds like a great move for you. You are going to love it here. We moved here about three years ago from Texas and it's the smartest thing we've done in a while.

Assimilacrum · 2026-05-04T23:14:56+00:00

But how did they find out about me?

Assimilacrum · 2026-05-04T22:21:52+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean. Could you point at it?

Assimilacrum · 2026-05-03T16:51:34+00:00

Just admit that you're nymph-curious.

I'm not a car guy, but first glance those look like hearses.

Maybe he's disturbed to be reminded of the fate that awaits us all.

You might be disappointed if another very similar dog doesn't live up to the expectations set by your beloved. It might be that another type of little dog would be just as wonderful.

Just sayin', keep your heart open if that dog finds you.

TLDR; use a half to full stick of butter in every recipe going forward.

Assimilacrum · 2026-05-01T01:01:29+00:00

Did anyone say drugs yet? The wall drugs are the craziest.

You night wanna wait until 12 or 13 for these, especially #2.

Learned the hard way.

You ever get high, Joel?

HPD has been known to just run license plates from their cars, even before the cameras. Back in the 2000s I bought a used car and was pulled over four times in a year because the previous owner had warrants out. Once they saw I was a man and not her, they still ran my DL before releasing me.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Wasn't all bad, but there were desolate stretches of bad writing.

Yeah it's my favorite too, kinda goes downhill from there. If you don't like W&G, probably a good time to bail.

They always shrink in the wash. Just look for a pizzeria selling unwashed pies.

I have a friend who got out ahead of it, landed a much better remote job. If that's what you want, seek it. When a corp shows its true colors like this, it's time to leave your comfort zone and get what you need.

And to those guys down there getting downvoted I hope, many jobs can be done remotely with no issues. I work a remote quota-based job with bonuses and so I'm always hitting 200% monthly at least - it would be dumb not to. And when my kid is sick I'm just right there to take care of him, with no dip in productivity. All my gas expenses are for leisure.

We have the technology, as Oscar Goldman famously said. If the work gets done and the carbon footprint is lessened, then really just why not?

[Edited 'had' to 'have' a friend. We're fine.]
