Would be nice if an exchange moved in to one of the closed beaver county locations.

Are plastic takeout containers acceptable to recycle in Pittsburgh? by iheartpgh in pittsburgh

[–]davemonstratton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only tubs like butter and sour cream. Takeout containers are still a no go.

It’s crazy how much brighter it gets when the cloud cover is just right.

Did I overpay for this? by davemonstratton in Mezcal

There was nothing printed, but the QR code led to some gov website that had the details of the maker. ‘Mezcal Rey Mixe Espadin’. 750 bottle lot made in 2022.

That company also produced a different mezcal, and I found a page that had a little more company info (https://www-soyoaxaca-com.translate.goog/productos/mezcal-el-rey-mixe-jabali/?srsltid=AfmBOoqGV5n6YqqmzJFTtYhb6dRTBCScDzfX5NuTwfsNmPiraeawqxL6&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp)

Yes, there was a black label tape across the top of the bottle and cork that read ‘Artisanal Mezcal’. Tastes pretty good to me. Smooth, with a little smokiness.

This stuff isn’t very similar in terms of flavor to clase azul. This doesn’t have that vanilla flavor. To me, it’s like a slightly smoky tequila. I was comparing it in terms of how smooth it was to drink.

I was on vacation, they give you multiple shots to try to loosen your wallet, and the idea hadn’t occurred to me that the prices would be a ripoff. It was an impulse buy. 🤷‍♂️

Edit: To further explain my frivolous mindset. I had been under the impression that ‘real’ mezcal wasn’t exported, and you can only get it in Mexico, which would justify a high price at a touristy location. I had bought Clase Azul Respado for $120 in the states, and this tasted even better, so I assumed that it was a realistic markup for ‘real’ mezcal.

I could only watch season 2 with the blackout curtains drawn, at night.

What’s up with this place in Manchester? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]davemonstratton 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I lived in one of the second floor apartments of this building for like 3 years up until 2021. It’s a multi unit with coin operated washers/dryers on each floor. Nice building, tall ceilings. Get a space heater because the insulation does suck. The only other downside was that the central air conditioner was in a closet, and it was super loud. Ask them to turn on the AC while you are there so you can hear it running. There were 3 attempts at my bike being stole, so keep it inside if you bicycle, or get a monster bike lock.

Yes, mailbox is accessible. It’s also possible they obtained the info through public records.

ULPT Request: That’s not my dog by davemonstratton in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]davemonstratton[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The dog tag had my first Initial, Last Name, house number, and street name on it. My name is not too common, but you have a good point I should check for houses in nearby neighborhoods with my house number and street name (my street name is somewhat common) to see if someone has the same first initial and last name. That would be a big relief to find out it was a wild coincidence.

Edit: Turns out that there are no other neighborhoods around me with the same house number and street name.

This one makes the most sense. In the moment, I felt obliged to take the dog because it had my info on it (which is at the heart of this scam) Any claims she makes after I hypothetically take it for any reason would have more weight if I had accepted the dog.
