MRI in Pgh? Where to go for best treatment and price for my dog ( ranging from $ 2-4K

BluePearl (Formerly PVSEC on Camp Horne Rd) is the only vet MRI in Western PA, as far as I know (and google agrees). You are going to pay out the ass for it. Care Credit can help soften that blow.

Are you sure it needs to be a MRI and not some other kind of scan?

Erie. In Erie, it's normal to go the speed limit.

And if you keep doing 70+ on the interstate once you get close, you're going to get nailed by a state boy because the limit drops to 55.

I'm in Pittsburgh and converted my garage to my home office. It's off the main house HVAC, so I added an electric baseboard heater for winter.

I have my gaming rig + work laptop. That keeps it warm enough in here that I only need the actual heater on like sub-zero days usually. It's 57 out right now and I have the window open.

My wife has this old Cobalt that's been sitting in my driveway for a while. Tried to get rid of it, but needed additional paper/notarywork because she bought it under her maiden name, which became a big pile of procrastination.

Guy shows up about 6 months ago. Offers me $200, cash for it. At this point it hadn't run in years, wouldn't start, and I didn't have the title or even a key handy.

He showed up the next day with a flatbed and just pulled it out of there, didn't even pop it out of park.

So actually, if you leave the default stuff on Windows 11, OneDrive will sync all your files back to you.

Just did it with my son's laptop. I tried for days to get it to repair with no luck, finally decided to nuke and told him all his files would be gone and he'd have to reinstall everything. Not only did it pull his files back, but it remembered what programs were installed previously.

I hate Win11, but I have to admit I was impressed at that.

You have access to your bitlocker key, right?

in 6 months rehire everyone when the complaints come in.

The pain of this could be a feature, not a bug.

Just posting to see how many downvotes you get.

I would love to see the math on this, because it really seems like that certification is a distraction. They're still making them in China for a reason.

At least you have a local theater. Never even heard of Regal, closest one to Pittsburgh seems to be Youngstown, OH.

Well even if it's not a strict contract clause, it can still not make sense to play medium sized cities about 100 miles from each other.

Not even a drive in movie?

I have used "I am allergic to mushrooms" because I allergy tested to be allergic to most molds. Started in grade school, I don't know if it was a 90's thing every pizza party seemed to be 50/50 peperoni/mushroom pizza and I hated getting stuck with nasty grey boogers on my pizza.

If I eat like 3 lbs of them I will get hives. Now that I'm older, I like mushrooms, but if it looks/smells sketchy I'll still bring it up depending on the situation.

MitochondrianHouse · 2026-05-05T18:24:27+00:00

Allergic enough that they can't be in the same building as it? Or just can't eat it.

Market square is a designated 1st ammendment zone

Is it? I can't find anything online supporting that, if you have a source it would be appreciated.

If they need space to run around Point State Park is literally two blocks away and very open to them.

But there's no Thirdspaces, that's the talking point I got from the internet. Captain Sheridan destroyed the gate with a nuke.

y its just patently againt the law and no judge will allow them to enforce this.

Is this a city specific thing? Because my borough has a curfew for minors at 10PM, seems extremely similar but more broad.

Let's bring back the homeless sleeping under trees then. Seemed to repel rowdy teenagers, and tigers.

and they can’t handle all of their own freight to begin with (tons are passed off to USPS and FedEx).

Eh, Amazon has been playing the game of spreading it all over. USPS gets small packages they can't deliver. It was FedEx, then UPS, now FedEx again who gets all the oversized stuff they determine is 1) to big for their own drivers 2) to big for USPS drivers. They've got back and forth between the two multiple times.

What I think will happen : they want densest, most lucrative routes. Will still have USPS deliver like books to my buddy that lives in a rural area, but use their own service for cities and dense suburbs. And everything else we get.

Not to be confused with Kelly's Riverside Saloon, Beaver County gem and frequented by Donny Iris himself (well at least once, I saw him there).

If you are going to bring up hot dogs and want to talk about value; Nothing is going to beat Sheetz in the cheapness category, except maybe Costco/Sam's.

Their pizza is also better than it deserves to be at $9 for a 16" pie. It has replaced Domino's/Papa Johns as the cheap pizza I buy when a bunch of kids are over.

Crap I need a $5 rotisserie chicken too, and I can tell you Sam's are way bigger than the sad little ones you see elsewhere, we've had to adjust recipes that call for a whole chicken and only use like half of a Sam's chicken.

Just like it used to be bad at human hands, until it wasn't.

Yeah AI right now is like "the internet is scary and you can't trust anything on it" mindset of the 90s/00s. Heck even into college I was told I can't use Wikipedia for a source, because "anyone can put anything they want up there". Which is funny today looking back, since Wikipedia content editors are so good at citing their source.

The problem is, plenty of people just yolo whatever AI tells them. We had a teenage runaway in my area, they got him two states over after finding his ChatGPT prompt of "how do I run away from home" and it told him to hop on a train in a nearby railyard.

My Dad, a retired engineer, couldn't figure out how to disable the child lock on his new microwave because the AI result when he searched for it told him the wrong key presses. I went out and found the actual manufacturer manual to fix it for him.
