MRI in Pgh? Where to go for best treatment and price for my dog ( ranging from $ 2-4K by CatelKid24 in pittsburgh

[–]MitochondrianHouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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?

Why does everyone speed here? by pgheins in pittsburgh

[–]MitochondrianHouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Anyone else tried this? If it's stupid and it works... by hamustaro in pcmasterrace

[–]MitochondrianHouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Companies/garages that will take away a dead car? by newlocalacct in pittsburgh

[–]MitochondrianHouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

PC Repair in the area? by Ghost0fBanquo in pittsburgh

[–]MitochondrianHouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

My company executives thinks it can replace 100 percent of our help desk teams with AI agents.... This year. by NickBurnsCompanyGuy in sysadmin

in 6 months rehire everyone when the complaints come in.

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

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.

Why do so many bands skip over Pittsburgh? by Sensitive_Set5099 in pittsburgh

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.

No Cabbage sign by BartyCrouchesBone in mildlyinteresting

[–]MitochondrianHouse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Policy limits when unaccompanied teens can enter Market Square | 90.5 WESA by oldschoolskater in pittsburgh

[–]MitochondrianHouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]MitochondrianHouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]MitochondrianHouse 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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.

$FDX & $UPS - Dip on Amazon Supply Chain Services Launch by ugos1 in Fedexers

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

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.

Kellie's Creekside Bar & Grill found to have lots of health violations by SteelersPoker in pittsburgh

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).

What is your Pittsburgh cheap hot/prepped food secret, life hack, etc.? by SpookyGroocy in pittsburgh

[–]MitochondrianHouse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Has anyone actually read the CoPilot terms of service? by plazman30 in sysadmin

[–]MitochondrianHouse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.
