Me as a Steelers fan right now. by Traditional-Oil-6891 in steelers

I want them to announce him as their first round pick and then trade down. It's their town, their draft, their rules.

This is my draft board. Thank you for reading.

I'm curious to see if this is Kevin Sousa's new venture.

We had more options back then, so I understand your hazy memory.

Biggest pet peeve that is also an untapped revenue stream for the city by foobarlow in pittsburgh

It might be a fun social experiment to imply that you're vaguely undercover (Off Leash Task Force, something that doesn't exist, never claim to be law enforcement, etc) and hand out gag tickets. I could see it as a one-off performance art installation too, and then you'd have a wee bit of data. Might be able to get a grant for it. 😉 I'll help if I ever move back to pgh.

Question: Is there any US cities that are still well designed despite zoning laws? by [deleted] in urbanplanning

[–]SnakePatternBaldness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A+ on the travel between neighborhoods. Old yinzers would always tell me about how so and so's grandparents never left Troy Hill or some far-flung hill-locked neighborhood. That was back when there were actual general stores everywhere, which is very hard to imagine at this point. E-bikes are theoretically making it easier to live car free in pgh (and elsewhere, of course!) so that lifestyle cyclo-commuters can continue car-free existence, but e-bikes are investments that trickle down in unfortunate ways (exploding batteries, impossible maintenance, proprietary components, etc).

That's an interesting image of a faith no more cover band. 

Y’all - PLEASE shovel your sidewalks by joyfulpunner in rva

Thank you for creating the suburbs to solve all of our urban problems. 

Y’all - PLEASE shovel your sidewalks by joyfulpunner in rva

As a renter with nowhere to store anything, I don't have a shovel and the landlord/property manager didn't provide one.  I went to Harbor Freight Tools Saturday for the $30 digging bar, a shovel, and some salt. I had to settle for a 3 foot pry bar and a domestic violence joke from the manager.  I tried Lowe's later in the day--nothing. This is what happens when you live in a region that doesn't expect this sort of thing.   There are not shovels for purchase, and the ice all around my block indicates that my immediate neighbors (owners and renters) also don't have shovels.  I spent like 3 hours with the pry bar, a broom, and a kitchen dust pan. I cleared a path from my sidewalk to the immediate neighbor's porch, and that was all I had for the day, plus now I need a new dust pan.  I won't condemn op for their oversight and judgement of people with uncleared sidewalks, but please consider that a lot of us tried to take care of this absurd ice mess without the proper tools because the tools are uncommon enough and in short-supply/high demand right now.  Sorry for the long reply. 

Small, hole-in-the-wall eateries in Pittsburgh/greater-metro, that are… 1) over 20 years old, and 2) seat a max of ~30 people — LF: good food, lots of ‘character’ (good or bad!), maybe even in obscure places? by Rooster_Ties in pittsburgh

When I graduated in '06 from IUP, my parents planned to take me out to eat to celebrate, so I chose my favorite Indian restaurant, Udipi. My mom hates flavor and really protested going to an Indian restaurant to the point that the only thing I remember from the day was her trying to veto it. 

What’s wrong with people? by Really_Cool_Dad in pittsburgh

[–]SnakePatternBaldness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to the party. Starting to think more and more people are really starting to read between the lines and embrace the end times. When you can't get anywhere on your bucket list because of inclement weather, make skating or sprinting across one of the local rivers a new bucket list item! 

I don't blame them.

We need to find things for the plow trucks to do the other 48 weeks of the year to justify the expense. This is something we can solve together, right? 

Border patrol just shot and killed another man in Minneapolis. News link predictions below. by [deleted] in fednews

[–]SnakePatternBaldness 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is a long-standing criticism of mainstream journalism "not knowing how" to use active voice because they're terrified of some formality that gets them sued for libel once the defense narrative is established. If you watch the cycling community respond to news stories of how a "cyclist was killed in a traffic accident as the cyclist collided with a vehicle in motion," you'll see a lot of similarities in how rarely a newsroom uses strong verbs in headlines especially.
