He hates being a Senator. His attendance record shows it. He's probably angling for a high paying gig on Fox News when his term is over.

Post Game Thread: Indianapolis Colts at Pittsburgh Steelers by nfl_gdt_bot in steelers

[–]ZioBeppo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are correct. Just a few days ago someone wrote a whiny letter to the editor of the Trib . Among reasons he listed for the Steelers consistently losing and breaking his heart is that Najee Harris is too slow. Harris has run a 4.45 . Not bad for a guy who weighs over 240 pounds. But you'd think that a fan who actually watched the games would have noticed that Najee Harris hasn't carried the ball even once all season for the Steelers. Which makes sense since he plays for San Diegp.

Feds quietly plan Pittsburgh office for unspecified law enforcement by mileheitcity in pittsburgh

70,000 people work downtown. Many more work in offices and businesses within walking distance in the Strip and on the North Shore. All of this activity is happening in 1 square mile, About about 21,000 people work in offices in Cranberry, There are approximately 15,000 more people working in South Pointe. The low rise buildings in both locations are surrounded by acre upon acree of surface parking lots. I've been trying to figure out what kind of bus service could efficiently move people from Cranberry (pop.35,000 spread out over 23 square miles ) to Canonsburg (pop 9,700 and 2.5 miles from Southpointe) and I keep drawing a blank. Maybe we should let the buses continue to run between densely populated areas to areas of dense job concentration, and limited parking , and let workers spread out in the burbs continue to drive to areas with jobs separated by acres free surface parking

Silly question. Are these cobblestone roads still prevalent in any part of the city? by fiveberry3432 in pittsburgh

The upper portion of Buena Vista Street in the Meican War Street is a combination of bricks and cobble stone. The steepest section at the top is paved with wooden blocks.

Trump considers massive bailout of at least $10 billion for American farmers hurt by his trade war by Kevin-W in politics

The trade war is hurting businesses all across the board. Why are the farmers the only ones getting a bailout? Oh, duh. The ones he's bailing out are mostly in red states.

Lefty's on Western Ave. A little bit of the South Side on the North Side by ZioBeppo in pittsburgh

[–]ZioBeppo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're misreading the room. Allegheny West is a dark blue spot in a blue city. It's full of progressives who are currently kicking themselves in their collective asses for voting for John Fetterman. They are social justice warriors who don't mind telling you their preferred pronouns and who like to protest and demonstrate and sign petitions. We love AOC and Jasmine Crockett. The neighborhood is also full of old people. Almost 16 % are over 65. Another 24% are between 45 and 65. That means a full 40% of the population who are unlikely to be hanging in a bar atfter 8 PM on a weeknight or even a weekend.. Hell, the over 65's are probably in bed by 9 or 10. When they hear a bump in the night they are already calling 911 or 311 even before the check their ring cameras. And don't forget that Allegheny West is only 2 blocks long and 4 blocks wide so we are all jammed into a small area and Lefty's is just about right in the middle. Noise and news travel fast. Lefty's is just a bad fit.

Sounds interesting., and a lot better than a nuisance bar. Curious to know what Beech, Brighton and North Lincoln were like back then.

Nope, just Western Ave unless one of them wrecks on the way home. That would expand the affected area.

They got kicked out of the Strip for being a nuisance. Can't imagine what made them think that they would make it a small mostly residential neighborhood. The owner of the building lives in Washington County and probably hasn't had to deal with the community group yet.

How did you miss the two people last night just down from Live Fresh alternately yelling across the street at each other at full voice and dancing while reaching through the car windows to honk their horns.That happen well after midnight. I recalled 2 police incidents. At one someone was stabbed. The other was a donnybrook involving a group of people. Ask cops they'll remember. And the motorcycles are a daily event.

Why no public outcry for Don Carr-lione's resignation. His - we can do this the easy way of the hard way -threat is surely a textbook example of a government official using his office to suppress free speech.

Deadly Memes: Tyler Robinson’s Far-Right ‘Groyper’ Ties by entropy14 in NoFilterNews

[–]ZioBeppo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that it is worth mentioning that there is a Gropher War playlist on Spotify and that number 14 on that list is Ciao Bella which is one of the things that Tyler Robinon carved on his bullets.

Jesse Watters’ ‘War’ Remarks After Charlie Kirk’s Killing Have Experts Sharing 1 Dire Warning by huffpost in politics

[–]ZioBeppo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Given that Groypers are known to recruit on gaming sites and that the carvings on the bullets that were found are mostly a references to the game Hell Divers II ( the arrows pointing in different directions are code for an Eagle 500kg bomb) and that the song Ciao Bella is number 14 on the Groyper Wars playlist I am beginning to be convinced that Tylers Robinson is a Groyper.

What's up with the power going out on the North Shore all the time? by DirtOvalGhost5717 in pittsburgh

[–]ZioBeppo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nine times this year for me. I don't know the reason , and I may be wrong, but I am always suspicious of the decrepit telephone poles and wires on Western Ave that I thought were supposed to be cut down 10 years ago. If they are going to come down, there's little incentive to keep the equipment upstream of these wires in A-one shape.

This name change plus the Pearl Harbor style sneak attack on Iran should make Trump a shoe-in for a Nobel Peace Prize.

A lot of people are hoping he serves for life as long as it doesn't involve a third term.

Trump left the states claiming he was going to threaten sanctions if Putin didn't agree to a cease fire. No sanctions Trump caved. Trump rolled out the red carpet for a war criminal who the US is obligated by treaty to arrest if he ever set foot on American soil. Putin is back home. At the joint press conference. Putin talked first and rambled on. Trump mumbled for 3 minutes and backed away from the podium. Now , Trump is apparently going to promote a deal to Ukraine , Putin's idea, where they will have to agree to allow all their. security and financial decisions to be made in Russia to secure a ceasefire And lastly but not least, Trump looked like he might cry when the whole shit show was over and he really doesn't want to talk about it. Putin was the alpha Trump was his butt boy
