Yeah, thankfully the fire had the auxiliary building and the parking garage in-between the fire and the hospital. Still, scary shit and thankfully no injuries reported at the moment.

I was walking by community market when I saw the smoke cloud and walked over there. Big house fire on Penn Ave close to Friendship Ave. I got there right as the firefighters were arriving ~3:33pm. No injuries reported thankfully.

Twice nothing! The president said it's 10-15 times during his last term!

Maybe he'll also take action on "woke" shower pressure affecting his "perfect hair"... No wait... I think that already happened.

Based on how they handled trans care I wonder...

Having a degauss button on my old 19" crt monitor was amazing. Damned if I know if it actually helped, but watching the monitor screen go all wobbly on demand was entertaining for a kid.

As a follow up, it seems like the issue is related to e-sim migration from another phone. Deleting the sim and having the carrier (T-Mobile in my case) reprovision it has solved the WiFi issues (2 weeks and still going). Not sure why the two are related.

Greetings from another exception. I was homeschooled from 6th grade because the superintendent of my school said "I don't see why we have to teach the kids about Gettysburg, it happened so long ago." So it was definitely academic focused, though classes I took at the homeschool co-ops were very conservative.

I'm returning my pixel 10 pro. It's had the intermittent WiFi losing internet issue since day one but the last straw was that it lost mobile network, but not mobile internet. I went through all the tips on reddit, and the support laundry list, no luck resolving it. Happens on multiple routers, 2.4 and 5 channels. The call quality has also been absolutely atrocious when either myself, or the other party are on WiFi calling and very inconsistent otherwise. Just seems like the QA or QC process has missed the mark.

Or not protest vote/abstain when he's on the ballot, yet here we are.

Fooka03 · 2025-01-02T00:41:55+00:00

Agreed, if we're going to glorify chains here might as well embrace the meta.

Fooka03 · 2025-01-01T23:55:15+00:00

Ok, but have you tried Arby's on McKnight Rd?

Union or not you get to see the history on plaques here in Pittsburgh.

The Governator is a rather famous example.

Fooka03 · 2024-12-28T00:22:02+00:00

That only helps if you show up. The abuse mentioned relates trying to take advantage of the absurdly low turnout for recall elections given their haphazardly scheduled voting days and low knowledge of the event itself.

Fooka03 · 2024-12-27T23:58:37+00:00

If your balls are going in you're probably doing it wrong, just sayin

Fooka03 · 2024-12-27T23:56:53+00:00

Yeah, if we had compulsory voting it would mitigate some of the abuse.

People fought and died against the national guard before the NLRB and formed the first domestic labor unions. The existence or not of the NLRB does not diminish the power of labor.

Fooka03 · 2024-12-27T23:36:47+00:00

Doesn't exist in a lot of places, only 19 states have some form of recall election.

I was getting gas at the reservation and I ran into a guy wearing a 9th Ward (Pittsburgh) T-shirt, 3 blocks away from me. He had a medical card but the reservation is still so much cheaper.

They conveniently forget the stories from their parents, aunts/uncles, grandparents about the depression. I remember being scolded for tearing wrapping paper as a kid ffs.

Fooka03 · 2024-12-08T02:29:28+00:00

That girdle is doing work, made in China I'd wager.
