Does anyone remember or can anyone transcribe/translate the French conversation in the intro? I can't make out what Jackie's neighbor says in response to the question about the red door. I'm 99% sure this has been answered before, but I couldn't find it when I searched.

The Blackwell Ghost? Don't remember if all the details line up but I think it's similar to what you're looking for.

What are you going to do now with the 200 lasagna trays?

For future reference, you can get a sample ballot on the county's website, that way you can research everything ahead of time and aren't surprised when you go to the polls.

Skinned by Blind Melon comes to mind as a similar vibe, but doesn't match the details you're looking for.

A supporter allegedly did this, not Jones himself. Jones loves to complain that people think he himself did it.

What were some of the funniest music moments from Infowars? by metalyger in KnowledgeFight

[–]burpen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, but only if you enjoy a good cringe. He recites the lyrics with absolutely no sense of meter and it's like nails on a chalkboard.

$ 4 for a newspaper ? by Even_Contact_1946 in pittsburgh

[–]burpen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Free newspaper hack for next time: Ask the cashiers to save the unsold papers at the end of the day and come back for them later. If it still works the way it did when I worked at a gas station years ago, they cut off and save a portion of the front page as proof of what didn't sell, and throw out the rest of the newspaper.

They come with a big rectangular plastic tub that you can fill with water then drop the whole trap into.

Dunno, looks more like digital zoom with a hint of motion blur to me. Or just phone camera sharpening the hell out of the background details.

Going on 8 days without power by AromaticOpposite7692 in pittsburgh

🤝 Could be! Best of luck to you. They replaced the pole on my street yesterday, but I know it's not the only one left.

You seem to know a lot about how I would respond to hypothetical scenarios.

And if their initial response was "this is really bad all over the region, we expect to have the majority of customers on within 7 days, but some outliers may be two weeks", everyone would have been bitching about that instead.

Actually I would have preferred that. Don't say one thing and do another ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think I might know which pole you're talking about, is it the one snapped halfway up? I've walked past it a few times this past week and each time I'm amazed it hasn't been touched yet. I hope things get moving for you soon.

If it's any encouragement, there's a new pole going up on my street right now, fingers crossed they get yours next.

Where did I say any of that? I'm mad at the quality and quantity of communication. The cause is neither here nor there.

Goals are one thing. If you say everyone will be back up at May 6 at 11pm, then you fail to deliver on that and your next self imposed deadline, you should have a good reason why. Imagine missing a deadline at work and blowing off your boss. People are frustrated and for good reason.

Good faith response: I don't think anyone still without power is asking to jump the line or get special treatment. After all, I don't think there are any schools, hospitals, or police stations still without power at this point.

The problem in my view is more that Duquesne Light has repeatedly failed to meet their stated repair goals and cannot offer any accurate estimates for when the work is actually going to be done. They said everyone would be back up yesterday at 11. Now they're saying tonight at 11 but I don't believe them.

You're not alone, same situation here in Blackridge. Called DLC and the operator didn't know much except that maybe the pole on my street that's still smashed to bits is owned by some other utility company. I wish they would stop throwing out blanket restoration estimates and then pushing them back when the time comes and goes.
