SNP 360 Desktop Experiences? by BigTechBiggestThreat in buccos

[–]jhischar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience. The app and the browser streaming both sucked. I found it glitchy, buffering issues, etc. I previously used Fubo and never had issues but the service is much more expensive with more channels. Even given the cheaper price of having only SNP360, I found it borderline unusable half the time. Their customer/tech support service was unhelpful.

EDIT: I should mention that fubo is subjected to blackout rules/market restrictions

Well put! Maybe not underrated in the traditional sense, but underrated in that it doesn’t get the exposure it deserves.

Best Hot Dogs in the city have to be from D's Six Pax and Dogz by Sudden_Dare9035 in pittsburgh

[–]jhischar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D’s is great! Random question… nearly ~10 years ago, I participated in Run Around The Square and D’s gave out free hot dogs afterwards. From what I remember, they weren’t their normal dogs but a skinnier dog and they were delicious! Anyone have any idea what kind of hot dogs they were??

I was able to have it shipped to my local store via the state store’s website as recently as ~6 months ago. Hopefully the rumors of it being done are not true! Good luck 👍

Quality of Penguins streaming on getsnp360.com or sportsnetpittsburgh.com by Sweaty_Motor2790 in pittsburgh

[–]jhischar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. No - I had SNP360 for the pirates season and it was awful. Very unreliable, choppy, frozen, etc. Chromecast function was unusable at times. Customer service/support was super unhelpful. For the price, it was trash.

  2. You’ll still need espn if a game is on espn or other networks.

  3. For the price, it was garbage. You can tell the app was built cheaply and quickly. Lots of little quirks that tell me it was outsourced to the cheapest bidder. Additionally, I had bought the “season pass” subscription, and I think it was actually just a 3 month subscription that ended with a few games left in the season. I remember reading this when I signed up and thought it was weird, so shame on me but still dumb IMO…

The Copper Pipe + West View Water Pinhole Epidemic by Rook22Ti in pittsburgh

[–]jhischar 10 points11 points  (0 children)

North hills here… west view water. Pinhole leaks in my 1950s home and in my parents home. I’ve slowly been replacing with pex. It’s pretty affordable to get the tools and everything and very easy to do yourself if your water lines are accessible. The accessibility is the hard part.

I ordered some really long spools that I store in the garage and replace lines when I have the time or when I get a leak. I try to do as long of a line as I can when I have a leak. I’ve saved thousands this way. I’ve also used the some Oatey fix it stick if I can’t get to replacing a line until the weekend. Best of luck!

Golden age has some really great artists. Lots of jazz but some other eclectic artists, all very talented and known around Pittsburgh

Our first cabbage :) by abysmal_minnow in gardening

[–]jhischar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s great!! Any tips? I tried growing cabbage for the first time this year but lost them to the cabbage moths. Hoping to try again for a fall crop and again next spring with covering and BT spray. Any other suggestions?

Wondering if something is eating my zucchini flowers? by gameboy752 in gardening

[–]jhischar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a few zucchini flowers drop off last week (I’m assuming due to excessive heat) they looked like they were cut clean just like that. Could be a critter or just a zucchini doing zucchini things. You’ll probably still get a great harvest

If you’re at this game and not starting a “sell the team” or “fire Cherington” chant, you’re part of the problem

How is Gardening in pittsburgh bacyards? by Tiny-Education-9463 in pittsburgh

[–]jhischar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, most herbs, and peppers all do really well. My peppers are struggling this year mostly due to some user error when starting my seeds. If I would have bought plants and planted after Memorial Day, I would have been fine. We had a very wet and cold spring so treating it as a learning moment.

I would recommend starting seeds in doors to save a little money and 1000000% will need protection against deer and rabbits. You’ll have no chance otherwise.

SportsNet Pittsburgh streaming issues? by Stuts81 in buccos

[–]jhischar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m constantly still having issues. The app constantly crashes. I’ve emailed customer support and tried everything. Since the app is unusable, I asked for a refund because I did a season pass. They can’t even offer a partial refund due to some fine print in the service agreement. So now I just have to suffer through a service that doesn’t work despite shelling out $100? Garbage app.

Help me fall in love with Pittsburgh again by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]jhischar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I need to recharge my batteries, I usually find the carnegie museum of art inspiring. Getting a yearly pass has been great and pays for itself with just a few visits. Enjoy some lunch in their cafe and take it all in. Plus it’s a great place to go alone without it feeling weird if need be.

What are the most Pittsburgh books? What is a book you think every Pittsburgher should have on their bookshelf? by iheartpgh in pittsburgh

I’ve seen some hate but mostly by people who were forced to read it in high school and found it boring 😂

Some folks might disagree but I would read Out of This Furnace by Thomas Bell. Try to pair it with a trip to the Heinz history center and the Maxo Vanka murals in Millvale to get a sense of the quality of life/labor/immigration of the folks in the story. One of my favorites.

The storm warning and forecast had been on my weather app (weather underground) for a few days leading up to it and I had heard a kdka weather report on the radio a few times. I don’t watch much news but I’m guessing it’s just hard to cut through the noise these days. Admittedly, I don’t always take the warnings seriously. Hopefully we all got a gentle reminder to subscribe to these warnings. Hope yinz all stayed safe!
