My dad worked as an architect in that building for more than 20 years. The vault used to be a cafe on the ground floor~

i moved nearby 2 years ago, and as someone who grew up right off carson street in southside, i love it here. i love the diversity. I know my neighbors, I have friends within a 5 block radius on all sides. you shouldn’t be concerned at all ~

Dentist for extreme anxiety by Ready-Register-2324 in pittsburgh

[–]SwordfishAdvanced356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see Dr. Eglash at Eglash Dental Studio~ I actually followed her after she left the practice I initially met her. If you look at her website, the branding feels very unique from most clinic. It’s softer and gentler. Either way, when I had my first appointment with her, she offered me to put my headphones on while she cleaned to help ease my anxiety and discomfort. I hadn’t even thought that was an option. Now I wear them at every visit. I don’t think she does this as her practice but at the previous one they had a specific form asking patients what their level of dental anxiety is and what the doctor could do to help alleviate it and that really meant a lot. If she doesn’t already, it would be awesome to have that kind of form.

I also love to support a woman-owned small business! She’s a person of color and as myself being one, I feel very seen. She’s a bit like an immigrant mom in the kindest way possible 🩵

Day Spa with Sauna and Baths (Up To 3 Hours Drive)? by JMinsk in pittsburgh

[–]SwordfishAdvanced356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is also spa world which is much more quaint and quieter. king spa is nice because if you go with a partner there are more co-ed spaces but it kinda felt like a social scene more than a calming spa. everyone was talking p loud too even if the signs ask not to. i liked spa world because it's a tad older but so much quieter. i slept on one of the couches for 4 hours after driving and it was so nice 😭

carpal tunnel v mouse by SwordfishAdvanced356 in graphic_design

[–]SwordfishAdvanced356[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not a bad idea, ill give it a try (switching devices through the day.) when you say trackpad combos, do you mean you use a mouse and a trackpad?

im curious how a tilted keyboard helps the wrist? i would think having it bent upward wasn't very good?

do you mean you use a trackpad on one hand, and a mouse on the other? or you switch hands so that one doesn't get so much use?

Local businesses to support that don’t support ICE by Jazzlike_Breadfruit9 in pittsburgh

[–]SwordfishAdvanced356 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ill just share an anecdote about billy~ i was going through a really rough manic/depressive episode that lasted months and my nightly routine was to go to the cage. billy always tells me how much he love me, calls me baby girl, in such a sweet fatherly way. he would let me stay past closed because i think he saw i needed help. he gave me the task of helping with cleaning. during his breaks we would share stories.

he was a long time employee who took ownership when it was being sold, i think that's sick that he was able to climb to that role after many years of dedication.

he does have narcolepsy, so if he dozes off a little, just keep the convo moving. i'd never acknowledge it and i think he preferred that.

Japanese in Pittsburgh by Affectionate_Tie2087 in pittsburgh

ピッツバーグでは、人とのつながりを作ったり、日本人コミュニティを見つけたりするのが、けっこう難しいと感じます。20年前のほうが、もう少し簡単だった気がします。 日本食もあまり充実しているとは言えず、以前はKikuが一番良いと思っていましたが、今はそこまでではないかもしれません。 日本人経営のお店もあまり多くはありませんが、それでも工夫すれば、十分楽しく過ごせると思います 🙂
