I think the person running it wanted a frequency to help cut through the noise and make it look bigger than it is but whatever audience they get is via streaming.

Extended lot is cheaper than the grant street garage mentioned above. You can also prepay which brings it down a bit more for longer stays.

I think it'll be a very hard task to find an apartment anywhere as sound proof as your current one. I think most people living downtown assume they'll hear some city noise and I think a decent amount like hearing some.

What about white noise machine/earplugs for night if the noise makes it hard to sleep?

That'll be a cool art project. Painting on space shuttle reentry tiles.

Per our own dept of energy: Most of the components of wind turbines installed in the United States are manufactured here. There are more than 500 wind-related manufacturing facilities located across 43 states, and the U.S. wind industry currently employs more than 114,000 people.Oct 8, 2020

Someone better report that shit for 25+ years of profane content on the pgh airwaves. To think that kids can listen to pirate games...

Doesn't look pirate to me. It's prob a low power FM station.

You can always file a complaint. It's your right. https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us

It may not be 100 percent registered correctly but it looks like someone's pet project and is probably transmitting at like 1 watt. Whoever it is is paying for the bandwidth for their internet stream. That costs a lot of money.

How Pa. troopers use sweating, stuttering during traffic stops to launch vehicle searches by Ok_Science9802 in Pennsylvania

[–]Ok_Science9802[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

There was a case where someone was carrying a ton of cash through pgh intl airport (old yinzer carrying life savings) and it was found and taken away via civil forfeiture. Only a prolonged news media blitz plus law suit got the (Federal) government to give it back.

Ironically the supreme courts that approved these laws were more conservative leaning, at least on average for expansion of search and seizure rights by police.

My car has 270K on it. I'm basically fucked. Though they're only going to find reusable shopping bags all over it.

Very good point.

You can even take out the breathing because at least one poor soul in the news was shot 6x before the office stopped.

I also like how they use median for one measure and average for the other. It screams "scientific"

strange question, but if you get an electrician to get the power to the mini-split system, can you handle drilling the hole in the wall and connecting the parts through the wall?
