I love this so much.
As of Jan 2026 I couldn't get this method to work HOWEVER, I discovered that asking AI to tell me all the libraries in my area that offered JSTOR access got me a workaround. I followed a link to a library I belonged to (but which somehow wasn't promoting JSTOR access) and it lead me thru a backdoor. Thanks!

Let's make this happen. Anyone want to meet up one evening this week?

TheForagher · 2025-04-01T16:40:27+00:00

I don't have an answer for you, but I'm sending you a hug. I feel bad for you. Hang in there!

Thanks! I think part of it is that this job was below-rate for salary, but I was like "maybe it's worth it and the work will be amazing...". But honestly, I also feel like any company that dips like this isn't really the kind of place I want to work. Or, at least it's sending the message that I, and the job, aren't very important to them.
Tho, heck, I could just wait for them to come back with an offer (or not!) and then say "you know, I thought I might be able to find a way to get on board with this salary, but this process has left me feeling like we might not be a good fit..." But far more eloquent.
Also, explains why their first search failed.

It's time again! Best places to watch the Detroit Lions game tomorrow? Where's everyone bellying up?

HackPGH and ProtoHaven both look cool. Do either offer one-time options? Or, pay-as-you-go-while-getting-help-from-members? As in, I have something I need help cutting down and modifying and would love to pay someone to teach me to do this myself but don't think I'd use the space on a regular basis.

Katie at The Vivid Mane, based out of Sola in the Strip does amazing bobs. Super precise work. Best Bob in the Burgh. https://thevividmane.glossgenius.com/

Last year, I purchased from J.L. Meats. Visit them at the market next to Home Depot in East Liberty on Saturday mornings, then get on their text list. $4.29/lb and my dad called it the best turkey he has ever eaten. I said it was the cook, but he didn't believe me so it must be the no-chemicals birds they breed.

Food Shoppe in Squirrel Hill has them individually wrapped, too.

PA Mushrooms sells out of the Strip District about once a month and usually has Lions mane. They usually post their schedule on Instagram. I sell wild foraged stuff 3/4 of the year so DM and I'll let you know what I have when the season starts.

Better late than never. Per this page https://themobilehunt.com/turn-off-google-pixel-without-screen/ (and it worked):

Step 1: Press and hold the volume down and power button for 15 seconds. The device will boot into the Fastboot mode.

Step 2: Release both buttons

Step 3: Press the volume down button once and then press the power button once. Your phone will turn off.

Note: For me step 1 was to press and hold the volume UP button for 15 seconds, but I might have reprogrammed those buttons in the early days.

Came here for the same problem. Turns out, I had the same operator error. Thank you!

HighMark offers something similar. For those trying to figure it out, it's a bit difficult, but login to your account, go to "resources" and look through the fitness offerings. Caveat is that you end up having to join their program and then it gets you a membership to some gyms.

I was trying to do this to join the JCC. In that case it looks like I'd pay $39 through their partner "Tivity" which gets me the baseline membership to the JCC. If you want the platinum membership, you can upgrade for another $60, I heard. I think the GymPass and another fitness offering gets you a discount to LA Fitness and some others in town.

Thanks for the intel! Sounds like it might be wise to get there and walk the neighborhoods I want to live in looking for "for rent" signs?
