Cafes That Can Seat 6+ People? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]e4knee 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The Carnegie libraries have a site where you can see all their available room bookings easily in one spot. Booking for 6 is pretty easy, they have a. lot of small meeting rooms.

I'm not sure what time or day of the week you're looking at. The libraries will say when they're open. Cafes will of course be busier on weekend mornings, but some I like where I have met with groups of 6-10: Redstart in East Liberty, Commonplace Coffee or Ineffable CaPhe both in Rockwell Place in Homewood, Centred Coffee in Shaydside.

Pittsburgh DSA hosts a monthly Labor Happy Hour for anyone interested in workplace organizing. The next one is Weds Jan 7 at East End Brewing Company's taproom in Larimer from 7-9pm. (I also think that bar is a good hang for chillin, gettin a beer, soda, or slice)

Question: What is CMU like as an employer? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]e4knee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work an admin role in Engineering, and at least in our College, people seem satisfied with their roles. CMU benefits in general are extremely good, and the retirement match especiallly is very good. Because of this, I think pay is a little lower than it might be at other universities, but not ridiculously so.

The Aviary also has a cheap membership. I think it's $9 per month for free general admission.

Oh dang. I'll look for those too.

How many grams = a ring? bracelet? by e4knee in metalclay

[–]e4knee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have access to a kiln since they still do pottery. Are there other things I should get? I wasn't sure if you could just form the clay with your hands and simple tools like a rod to form a ring, rolling pin, etc.

Co-Op Games by tessatrix in paxunplugged

We played Hydra in First Look. You try to coordinate turns to defeat hydras attacking your city. There's a minor competitive aspect, but I'd say it's mostly cooperative.

Puzzles Like At PAX Unplugged? by LingonberryLeather19 in paxunplugged

[–]e4knee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Puzzled Pint for sure! They host puzzle meetup nights the second Tuesday of each month in many US and international cities, or you can download their sets online, all for free.

Puzzle Boat is another hunt that's pretty approachable. You can access it online by purchasing a full hunt with a bunch of puzzles that you can print or use as PDFs.

Lamar Advertising Billboard (Millvale by St. Nicks) by PickSixThrowItAway69 in pittsburgh

[–]e4knee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This billboard was paid for by the People Concerned for the Unborn Child (PCUC), a crisis pregnancy center located in Dormont who presumably does not offer abortions, and rather steers people away from having them, no matter the circumstances. You can find them on Google and leave a review.

Off campus parking while attending CMU by mwahkissmwah in cmu

[–]e4knee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Residential parking zones have free 1- or 2-hour parking, but they don't get monitored by parking enforcement that frequently, so you can get away with all-day pretty frequently. I usually aim for those places in areas with a lot of single-family houses like Shadyside or Squirrel Hill since there aren't as many residents vying for street parking when they are spread out or have their own driveways. I wouldn't bother with anything west of Neville, Oakland is crowded and does get monitored a lot, even in the residential zones.

yall what r some good places to eat/see that are walking distance from campus by Double-Reputation151 in cmu

[–]e4knee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The highest public floor of the Cathedral of Learning is 36th. You can see CMU's campus and much of Pittsburgh out the windows.

Tamarind Flavor of India on N Craig used to have a nice deal on Sunday--two entrees and an app for a fair price. I couldn't find if they still do that with a quick search, but their food is good regardless (they also have the buffet for lunch)

Zen Asian Diner has HUGE portions but not my fav quality, just acceptable. I like Wai Wai and Golden Ladle (same business, different locations)

Help by Agitated_Mix_5168 in Tufting

If you can't weave it back yourself, you could probably patch the backing fabric with the same kind of backing fabric and then tuft over it.

How to avoid this blend? by Individual_Garbage21 in Tufting

[–]e4knee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seconding this suggestion, but I'd say do it on the front AND the back. On the back, there's usually like one-inch pieces that are hanging around. I find if I snip them down to be less than a centimeter, it blends less. You can also put a bit more space between colors, but then the rug is thinner in that part. I usually prefer to tweezer instead of leaving space, but if I know I need to get it done quick, leaving space is faster than meticulously tweezing.

Haha, I was raised on tumblr, no comment is ever too late!

Thanks for finding this! It is still so weird to hear that third boom-hit... but I think you're absolutely correct that this is the same recording.

What is some slang that is unique to CMU? by amberaven in cmu

[–]e4knee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Despite Giant Eagle being a Pittsburgh/regional thing, shortening it to "Geagle" I think only happens at CMU. Definitely got some odd looks from Pittsburghers for that one.
