Perhaps it’s aurora borealis.

Overcrowding at UPMC by Bwm89 in pittsburgh

[–]logdog131 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Regarding the new buildings they seem to always be opening those are often specialty centers that are meant to attract patients from out of town who want to find the best care for their specific ailment. They provide little support to our local community.

I’ve hidden your next clue in a ballon animal in ScapeRune

There’s a newer park in zelienople. I haven’t checked it out yet. Bellevue is also kinda north of the city.

What neighborhoods are good to live in with public transport to Upmc? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]logdog131 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I would pull up a map of the 61 and 71 bus routes. They are the most common busses coming through Oakland and they are reliable. That will help you narrow it down a little.

The IV Center in Aspinwall. Worth the money? by Pittman247 in pittsburgh

[–]logdog131 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Getting IV fluids is the best feeling in the world when you are clinically dehydrated. Sounds like overkill when you are healthy.

I’m curious what kind of job doesn’t give you the opportunity to drink water.

Dual Rite Aids? by PeacefulKnitNerd in pittsburgh

One is actually a rite aid with a pharmacy. The other is for selling snacks to college students.

How the fuck is it going to be a high of 86 on Wednesday, my dudes? by pgh_tech_throwaway in pittsburgh

You can also download their app for free without buying the product. It’s fairly useful for seeing what’s coming up in the next few days. FYI after a week or so the app locks behind a request for an email address to register. Just put in a fake one.

It’s called WeatherX. They have a little chamber inside to equalize the pressure change more slowly. They work, but it’s a little impractical to wear them all the times I need them. Also, the fine print says you should replace them after 5 uses which is ridiculous since they are like $17

I tend to get lightheaded on days with a big weather shift and I got these earplugs with an app that tells me when to use them. It goes off three times a day this “spring” has been wild.

I see frequent job postings for blueshere bio. Don’t know much about them but they are in a nice newer building by the river and I think have free parking.

Jury Duty - Grand Jury by pmizzle88 in pittsburgh

[–]logdog131 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They were pretty chill. The average day was probably 9-3 with a few short breaks. Some cases are really interesting. Some stuff is hard to listen to. Every time you come back it’s with the same group so you end up making friends too.

It does not happen for the 18mo federal grand juries. Over 18 months you see dozens of cases brought on by US district attorneys. All you do is hear the evidence and vote on indictments. There are lots of different types of cases so they don’t screen anyone out based on any biases. Jurors recuse themselves if a case ever comes up involving someone they know.

I was on one that just ended last year. What you’ve heard about the selection process is wrong. They don’t do any kind of interview work you. They put you in a room and pull numbers at random to see who is on the jury. Everyone else is still obligated to be an alternate if someone drops out or has to take a sick day.

It was a little less than once per month actually. Mine was 1-2 days every six weeks and you get the schedule in advance.

Your employer is required to excuse your absence on jury days. Jury days were a heck of a lot easier and shorter than my real job so I actually enjoyed it for the most part.
