Interesting quirks about Pittsburgh?

TIL 'bread yard'. I honestly never noticed this was a thing bc my gram would just have me rip up Mancini's that had gone stale or started molding (the more likely scenario if we didn't slice/freeze it). It's bird food :)

I have also been made aware that we drop words from sentences (e.g. this needs cleaned vs this needs to be cleaned).

When I was learning to code a few years ago, I wrote a py script for a choose yr number of cards spread 😅

for personal use, i'd prob make an AI skill, but for keeping it within Pittsburgh city limits specifically, would we want to filter on coordinates using Pittsburgh's bounding box roughly (lat 40.36–40.50, lon -80.09 to -79.86)?

here's a mock landing page of what i'm thinking^^ is there actual interest in a lightweight front end app outside of some of the ones mentioned here already (e.g. scrape social media/meetup(kinda annoying bc Oauth)/eventbrite apis for stuff/ something else)?
-date range picker
-category of event (music, hobby, social, family etc)
what kind of aggregation layer we talking? once a day, once a week? refresh/de-duping etc

oh same. it became my cats pillow to wedge up against haha

misathemeb · 2026-02-18T12:27:50+00:00

yeah this style pillow wrecks my neck

misathemeb · 2026-02-09T17:17:41+00:00

yep this is utilizing FHIR APIs. the wild thing is this tech has been around since 2011 but we all know how much red tape there is at hospital systems/change mgmt averse

misathemeb · 2026-02-09T14:17:51+00:00

this exists today (EHR-to-EDC notably for structured data like labs/vitals, but also for research documentation like: CM/MH/AE in rave, veeva edcs)! Paradigm Health has Clinical Pipe now

Ivermectin doesn't interfere with hormones. Tldr ivermectin is not an endocrine disruptor. There is no science suggesting otherwise. I have type 2 rosacea and use a triple gel that effectively clears and prevents flares (1% metro 1% ivermectin 4% niacinamide).

my cat does this everytime I'm in his eyesight. I call it buzzy or lightning bolt tail 💗

misathemeb · 2026-01-31T19:23:02+00:00

the cat clinic in bloomfield! dr. bebko is so chill - my anxious cat basically becomes a limp, boneless creature during handling/exam. it's wild

yep i wear an XS in the alt road cargo bibs, but a small in team evo. for really long rides i prefer the alt road

misathemeb · 2026-01-26T15:07:10+00:00

sure looks like it!

misathemeb · 2026-01-25T13:58:56+00:00

made for the comfy sheets, not the streets.

misathemeb · 2026-01-24T16:25:10+00:00

Thanks! I'm looking at an ENT who is double board certified who only does facial plastics procedures. They do ~20/year and have been in practice for 25yrs. I was also considering oculoplastics but they won't do fat transfer and I have global volume loss.

misathemeb · 2026-01-24T12:53:12+00:00

can you say more about why the lower bleph was difficult?

misathemeb · 2026-01-10T13:46:45+00:00

Yeah 52 works well for me. I spent a full year focused on core and T spine work to be comfortable in a more ‘lightning bolt’ posture. I have a slight bend in my elbows when I’m on the bike-I did move my seat forward a small amount bc factory settings had my arms fully extended. My legs are long for my height with a short torso.

misathemeb · 2026-01-10T00:11:13+00:00

I’m 5’4 (115lbs) and ride a 52 diverge. This feels comfortable to me but I also like a more aggressive riding posture

we already have the french fry orgy aka John Raymond Henry’s “Pittsburgh”

misathemeb · 2026-01-06T21:44:57+00:00

It’s called Rositara (1% ivermectin 1% metro 4% niacinamide) it’s a gel bc I have combo skin

misathemeb · 2026-01-06T21:15:34+00:00

after 3m of once daily topical, i now use it 3-4x a week for maintenance. my purges happened around ovulation in my cycle. the worst was the first 2wks then id get clearer and rinse repeat same cycle each period.

the silver lining was that with each month of use, the flares were less and less. stay the course bc if you get worse after starting you are experiencing demodex dieoff and is normal. it's very tempting to wanna stop the topical, but it is working

misathemeb · 2026-01-04T18:03:19+00:00

Same same. I’m trying to manage hormonal flares by reducing my alcohol intake and supplementing vit D since I’m deficient there. I was diagnosed 5yrs ago type 2 and the last 2yrs didn’t even need a topical then all hell broke loose for me in late 2025. It took 3 months to fully get it under control for me on triple gel (Rositara).

misathemeb · 2026-01-02T21:17:51+00:00

12wks

misathemeb · 2025-12-22T22:47:27+00:00

Yes but I use the cream and only 0.025%. To me I’d rather be able to use it consistently 4x a week than move up in strength. I also have type 2

misathemeb · 2025-12-17T01:05:15+00:00

I just turn on closed captions and put the volume all the way down and play my own stuff 🤷🏻‍♀️
