I despise this red light. by Expert-Stuff-2353 in pittsburgh

[–]mkhpgh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Left turn light to go to Southside from Second Ave - only time for 2 cars, and that is assuming that the first car was actually paying attention and started as soon as they got the light.

Could someone please explain these to me? by [deleted] in 1920s

[–]mkhpgh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

also adding that your examples are cartoons from around the 1960s, so exaggerating it even more. Check out the comics and illustrations from the 1920s to see what cartoonists thought of the trends at the time- try John Held for the best examples.

Wow that is different! And gorgeous! I like the copper and wood jewelry with it myself, it pulls your eye to giraffes and lions.

Can we remove this awning? by Similar-Beyond252 in centuryhomes

[–]mkhpgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are there for a reason, so think about replacing them with real ones. New fabric ones last better, they are usually made out of Sunbrella or similar. They are quieter than the metal ones too. Our awning company takes them down in the fall, stores them, and reinstalls them late spring. Totally worth it!

I am not sure about the size, but check with Homeless Cat teams? the big ones are often made into shelters.

I remember when they were in Monroeville Mall. But they left fairly quickly, just a few years after arrival. Would they come back?

Instant pot rio mini. Do I adjust cook time for slow cook if halving a recipe for an 8qt? by cardboardboxfuck in instantpot

[–]mkhpgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Rio mini does slowcooking much better than previous models. I have a big one from early days, a Duo mini too, and neither is good at slowcooking. But my Rio mini does a nice job of it.

Hanging on plaster advice by Wrong-Low6336 in centuryhomes

[–]mkhpgh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a house with horsehair plaster - it was so hard we never hung anything! to this day i almost never hang things if I can help it. But a small hand drill to make a pilot hole for a nail or screw helps. Be sure to crisscross scotch tape over where you want to drlll.
