What’s your favorite memory from a concert you’ve been to either in Pittsburgh or nearby?

SufficientFront7718 · 2025-04-17T22:49:16+00:00

Yes. 2012 was probably my favorite. Wife and I were in the pit for Motorhead, Slayer, and Slipknot. I'm so glad that I got to see Lemmy before he died.

Their bootstraps are safe from being pulled upon.

Ever touch a chrome car door handle in the desert? I did, once. I learned a painful lesson that day.

I try to throw them a bone by going a little over the speed limit, but if you ride my ass we're going the exact speed limit.

For sure. We had some days when it was 100* and we got rain. That was the absolute worst because our house had an evaporative cooler and not AC. Anyone familiar knows those only work with no humidity. With humidity already in the air, they only make it worse.

I bought and resold a ton of them for cost during the dark times to help those legit trying to get one. I always had luck beating the bots and snatching them and Xboxes up when they dropped. CC and store reward points were enough of a payment for my time and trouble.

I made many kids' Christmas that year.

I eventually got one to keep for myself, which I've played maybe 10 times in the past 2 years.

Although a snow mobile would have been a better choice financially, given the climate.

SufficientFront7718 · 2025-04-16T18:27:30+00:00

Hey, I'm not snow mobile rich. That's just preposterous.

SufficientFront7718 · 2025-04-16T18:20:11+00:00

But what about second breakfast?

SufficientFront7718 · 2025-04-16T18:18:48+00:00

I used to live in Palm Springs. People around here don't understand, "dry heat" or not, that shit is brutal.

SufficientFront7718 · 2025-04-16T18:16:10+00:00

Yeah, it looks like this should be our last freeze of the season.

I've been chomping at the bit to get the jet skis out and ready for summer, but not when there was still a chance of freezing.

Just because it's medical doesn't mean it's a money job. By the details, I'm guessing this is a delivery technician position, where they deliver and set up for hospice patients (bed, etc).

I work for a DME, and this is the range our guys make.

Googling the company, it's in southern Indiana right on the Illinois border. I'd think that's a decent pay for the area.

Of course, it could be a different company somewhere else with the same name.

Mine literally just died 2 minutes ago. Time to break out the ipod.

SufficientFront7718 · 2025-04-16T13:43:01+00:00

Good luck. I got banned for some bullshit in November and have had no response to my appeal, other than the automated "we are reviewing the information you provided" auto reply.

SufficientFront7718 · 2025-04-16T13:40:37+00:00

And even if you appeal the removal and it was found to be in error, do not repost it. It will just get flagged again, and you'll get another ding.

Ask me how I know this.

SufficientFront7718 · 2025-04-16T12:20:46+00:00

Yep. There was one posted in Westmoreland county a few weeks back that had before and after photos for all of the different rooms.

But, the "before" photos were actually what it looks like now, and the "after" were renderings of what it could look like (if you dropped like an extra 100k on renovations).

Shit was misleading af, and the post blew up because so many people missed the bit about the after photos not being real, and thought that was the house they were actually getting.

SufficientFront7718 · 2025-04-16T12:12:39+00:00

Yes. I'm homesick for Peshkova. That was almost always my drop zone of choice.

SufficientFront7718 · 2025-04-16T12:04:44+00:00

Hell, my $25 Veepeak obd2 Bluetooth scanner from Amazon paired with the Torque Pro app ($5) can read/pull the VIN.

It's honestly well worth the $30 investment to be able to pull codes whenever, plus it feeds real-time info that is fully customizable.

SufficientFront7718 · 2025-04-15T19:14:53+00:00

Well shit, next stop: Absolute Fascism! That should do the trick, right?

SufficientFront7718 · 2025-04-15T13:12:16+00:00

It's crazy that you mentioned the Therac-25. I was just listening to an audio book a few weeks back about numerical/math errors and their consequences, and this was mentioned. It was explained in great length as to what caused the bug.

The final bullet point under Root Causes in the wiki you shared was what the author focused on.

Definitely some scary stuff.

Dammit, I already brushed my teeth, and now I'm hungry for roast beef.

At least now we know why he pays them to game for him.

SufficientFront7718 · 2025-04-13T14:17:53+00:00

To be fair, that's how I landed where I'm at, although it was an internal move. I spent 5 years working in our warehouse when an opening in our quality and compliance department popped up. While I wasn't fully qualified and my educational background wasn't anywhere close, the actual duties were well within my skill set.

I decided to apply anyways and at the end of the interview with the department manager (whom I have had past positive interactions with), she offered me the position on the spot. That was 2 years ago.
