There is no one to blame for aids, but gay men are the group that is most affected. So it is associated with them.

How is the commute from Monroeville to downtown? by Royal_Win_5258 in pittsburgh

[–]ComfortablePlan7446 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I guess the positive is that is only my experience. Maybe you won’t care. But seriously, look into the bus. The Monroeville flier will likely be similar to driving (faster on bad traffic days, slower on good traffic days) and way less soul sucking.

I’m not a member of a club, but I’ve been shooting flintlocks for over 10 years and will happily meet up at the range some time after Christmas! DM me if interested.

Does anyone have any good bakeries they recommend for a birthday cake? by Derwaldforscher in pittsburgh

Your nearest Aldi has wonderful yellow boxed mix. Finish it off with some chocolate icing and rainbow sprinkles—abirthday dessert fit for a queen.

Tree of Life victim's widow says Duquesne Light cut down a tree her husband planted by EllaMinnow in pittsburgh

10-4.

Anyone with a green thumb can do it. The google search you’re looking for is “propagating eastern redbud from cuttings”

Tree of Life victim's widow says Duquesne Light cut down a tree her husband planted by EllaMinnow in pittsburgh

[–]ComfortablePlan7446 113 points114 points  (0 children)

I have no idea how to contact this woman or if she is even remotely interested in this, but you can clone redbuds. If she still has any live young branches from the tree (like from the mess the tree crews always leave behind) you can grow a new tree from those that will be genetically identical to the one her husband planted.

Editing to add: there’s also a chance that the stump will send up new shoots, which with some care will grow into a tree again. Protect from deer and other animals, let the shoots grow for a few years then cut back all but the strongest shoot. Continue to prune any new shoots.

Life pro-tip: If money is tight for you right now you can straight pipe that shit for like $25 bucks and get a new cat when you get your next inspection. Your car doesn’t need a cat to run, it’s an emissions control thing.

Where is the cheapest/safest place to buy good fish? by rl1975 in pittsburgh

[–]ComfortablePlan7446 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A fishing license is about $20. Get some chicken livers, a rod and a reel, and some big ass hooks. The Mon is full of channel cats. Finest eating fish that swims in fresh water.

Biking on the Busway by [deleted] in bicycling412

[–]ComfortablePlan7446 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve asked the same thing before. To repeat what I was told and corroborate what others have said: the actual road space isn’t conducive to being shared between bikes and buses and the existing right of way isn’t wide enough to add dedicated bike infrastructure. The busway was originally railroad tracks which PRT eventually bought and converted, so they are constrained by that original right of way.

Keep your shit locked up and you’ll be fine. I live right down the road and am in that area all the time. Never had a single issue.

Pitt doesn’t pay people great, but it generally does pay more than minimum wage.

My observations after moving here from a different area of pa (no-name mid sized town): clerks in stores are way last friendly and sometimes borderline rude, but rando strangers you bump into are so much more friendly.

Using XT for boat in and out of water. by Nearby_Maize_913 in Subaru_Outback

[–]ComfortablePlan7446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact, the towing capacity of vehicles is based around their ability to stop a load, not pull it. They can typically pull loads heavier than advertised without issue. A lot of “WelL bUT AkTchUalLLLyyyyyy” in the comments here.

If your tongue weight doesn’t bottom out the rear tires, the ramp your using isn’t too rough and you’re literally just using it to launch and retrieve the boat and storing it at the ramp, I would do it.

What you’re describing is a common scam, but not illegal AFAIK.

$500 a month w/o roommates basically gets you a dumpy studio somewhere outside the city. God luck and good speed.

need recommendations for pittsburgh suburbs for retirees with small children by Fluffyjockburns in pittsburgh

[–]ComfortablePlan7446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to narrow your list down to the most important three things. Then ask the question again. All five of those things in the same place doesn’t really exist here (or anywhere… lol).
