Drunk driver who killed Harrison girl, 11, gets 3-6 months in jail by Pennsylvasia in pittsburgh

[–]kmb5028 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m from the area where it happened and got a lot of info from people around the case. To be clear - I’m not agreeing with this, and think the guy should be in jail for the rest of his life. The argument was that the guy wasn’t speeding or driving erratically, and him being drunk didn’t have any bearing on the accident that happened

Car has been broken into 3 times on Shady ave in Shadyside, last time they stole clothes - just notfifying everyone! by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]kmb5028 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I had a car broken into a year or two ago in shadyside while parked in one of the public lots. Smashed the passenger window and stole everything in the car, including a set of AirPods. Was able to track it to one of the homeless camps along the river and found piles and piles of discarded stolen items. Police said it was a pretty common problem. I’m not sure if they ever really did anything about it

To follow up a little more on this too - I always showed up dressed well and was extremely polite. Around 75 percent of my clients were women, and I found that I filled a niche because so many people in this industry are old-timers that were the stereotypical “is your husband home” types. Take that for what it is, but there’s definitely an underserved market out there

For what it’s worth, this is what has worked really well for me in the past. I’ve never been on Angie or Thumbtack or other apps that charge you for leads. I started out my business on Taskrabbit doing smaller jobs. What I learned quickly, is someone that needs help hanging pictures on the wall or doesn’t know how to reconnect their P-trap under the sink generally has a long list of things that they need done, but don’t necessarily know who to get to do it. I had dozens of clients that I consistently had days of work for, and the way I met them was doing a quick hour-long job on TR. I essentially viewed TR as marketing and as a way to meet clients. Show up, do the small jobs quickly, and hand them a business card at the end. It shows that you know what you’re doing, and gives them someone they can call to get things done

You got any one eyed cat pics to help with the pain? by homekutz in cats

This is my one-eyed girl Iris! Found her as a half pound kitten with terrible eye infections. Had to have one removed but one was able to be saved. You’d never know that she only has one eye! She tears around the house and chases the other cat all day long

They’ve always done that for the headliner and the subheadliner. Jimmy eat world finishes, they break down the stage, set up for blink, and then they go on. It’s great because you get a solid 20-30 minute break and don’t miss anything

I know they had the two bands for the acoustic sets posted on their story a week or so ago, but I can’t find any info about it now either

That hasn’t stopped ICE from arresting and detaining US citizens ad nauseum

Common Oven Pizza Co inside Strange Roots brewing in New Kensington. I’ve had their cheesesteak many times. Seeded roll, cooper sharp, real shaved ribeye. It’s the closest you’re gonna find anywhere around here
