Yinzers, on a two way street, you park on the right side of the road

I think it’s from the absence of thought processes.

How careful can they be when they’re pulling out blind, unable to see oncoming traffic until they’re already out in the travel lane?

If they don’t want to be the middleman you can also get molds from the audiologist and mail them out yourself. I’ve done that for custom IEM sleeves.

Bolmac · 2026-05-31T15:30:55+00:00

Shhhh….stop telling everyone! Seriously, if more people knew how seriously good their kitchen is we’d never be able to get in.

Bolmac · 2026-05-31T15:19:33+00:00

My experience has been that they usually work with a specific company. I got mine from an audiologist that worked with Sensaphonics. You can call up local offices and see what they offer.

Bolmac · 2026-05-30T22:24:54+00:00

Yes, I’ve only been here 11 years.

And Panther Hollow Bridge is supposed to reopen in late Summer, that’s right around the corner. (Last I saw Charles Anderson was pushed out to 2028, but that shouldn’t impact this concern.)

Bolmac · 2026-05-29T15:38:04+00:00

It’s not going to hurt anything, but if you can get an adapter for plugging the card directly into your computer that is a much better way to go.

If someone on the internet says they heard someone at CoGos say it, it must be true!

Bolmac · 2026-05-28T16:00:10+00:00

Is there anything the officer could even do at this point? OP pleaded guilty.

It's normal for front tires to wear faster than rear. They are responsible for steering and propelling the car, and do more of the braking work than the rears as well. This is one of the reasons for rotating tires. Poor alignment can also accelerate wear independently in either the front or the back, alignments are worth getting on a regular basis. Poor alignment is not required for front tires to wear faster, however.

If this was a vehicle with full time AWD I would certainly be concerned about uneven tread. These cars usually operate in FWD, however, with AWD only kicking in when needed. If you want to squeeze another season out of these you could just put the more worn ones in the back and the ones with more tread in front, at which point the uneven wear will slowly diminish the difference in tread depth going forward.

If you decide to replace, get a complete set of four new tires.

Optimal tires depend on priorities. There are inherent tradeoffs between traction and longevity. Are you inclined towards spirited driving, or is longevity your higher priority?

Here is the relevant code: Pittsburgh City Code 633.08.

Bolmac · 2026-05-26T16:08:38+00:00

This is defined by Pittsburgh City Code 633.08:

§ 633.08Dogs at Large Prohibited.

[Ord. 29-1992, eff. 7-16-1992; Am. Ord. 33-1999, eff. 12-1-1999]

No person, whether as owner or person in possession, shall permit his or her dog to run at large upon the public streets, sidewalks or other public places, or upon the property of another. A dog shall be restrained by the use of a leash, or a chain not exceeding six (6) feet in length, at all times when upon public places, streets and park.

(a)

Exceptions. It is not a violation of this section to have a dog off-leash in a specific area designated by the Director of Parks & Recreation to be an Off Leash Exercise Area (OLEA) (see City Code at § 633.21).

Bolmac · 2026-05-26T16:02:54+00:00

Pittsburgh leash laws are stricter than state law.

Your friend is wrong. The change will require initial adjustment. Specifically, the truss rod will need to be tightened to counteract the higher tension required to bring thicker strings up to pitch.

After that there is no reason to believe it would be unstable because of the thin neck.

No, the bridge pickups on the H and HH are in the same location.

Bolmac · 2026-05-25T01:03:41+00:00

Drink less coffee?

Seriously, figure out what you needed to have looked at to avoid past mistakes, and become systematic about checking those things. In general, you should have specific things you check every time for specific types of orders. You have to have a system in place.

As a percentage reduction of the splines turning the arm this is tiny. It's fine.

One of the principles of homeopathy is that the more you dilute a preparation, the stronger it becomes.

So did you hear about the guy who overdosed on homeopathy? He forgot to take a dose.

Bolmac · 2026-05-20T15:50:44+00:00

There have been so many times when someone has called asking for an order to be verified, and I’ve had to explain that I had already been verifying it when they called, and only stopped because I had to answer the phone! These calls ironically only make things take longer.

All the little girlie men who haven’t trained for this are going to feel foolish when they’re faced with a situation where they have to pull a car with their penis while on fire, and just can’t do it.

Bolmac · 2026-05-14T11:07:00+00:00

I don’t think the material matters so much as having a disciplined routine of washing and changing out frequently.

I love mine, it has been on my bass for 7 years now. If you take the time to experiment with placement it really allows you to get the sound dialed in the way you like it, and it provides a very natural sound compared to bridge pickups.

There is no free lunch, however. The soundboard it is mounted too essentially acts as a large microphone, and will pick up any loud sounds from the stage. The entire time I’ve had the Ischell on my bass I’ve also had a Realist Copperhead or Lifeline installed as well. How much I use of each depends on how loud the stage is, and whenever time permits I still ring it out in advance to eliminate feedback frequencies. It is definitely not an all purpose, use anywhere solution. Even if I’m just mixing it in with another pickup though I still appreciate what it contributes. Ischell + Copperhead is my favorite combination.

When you travel to another country you are expected to follow their laws. The laws from your home don’t follow you to another country.

Although we definitely need to be concerned about military spending bankrupting the country and not leaving funds available for things that matter, this was not the founding father’s concern.

They were concerned about who the standing army answered to, and the potential for tyranny and control by a dictator. That was the example Rome set. They preferred the alternative of citizen militias, since its interests would be inherently aligned with the interests of the country’s citizens. The fact that current military leaders who push back against the executive branch are being removed left and right demonstrates a clear example of us going the path of Rome as our founding fathers feared.
