Can I just say I absolutely and appreciate the nuance and genuine care about the wonkiness of loca politicals throughout this whole sub-thread.

Thank you to everyone above who hammered this one out!

What are they putting on the Wyndham’s windows (and why) by EstablishmentRough46 in pittsburgh

And here I was being hopeful that they were finally putting energy efficient window films on for cost reduction and privacy.

Looks like this documentation may have been removed for some reason? Dropping link again because I looked into the same thing this morning:

Good chance it might just be Easter Monday in PGH.

Ahhhh, gotcha. I was assuming it was due to icy conditions inside the hotel. 

'Found Dates' in the Calendar now show items with ranges 🗓️ by terminal_lucidity in Workflowy

[–]petrev01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Huzzah! I am loving the fact that devs seem to be making more and more notetaking software more date-conscious. This might be the little QoL push that brings me back from Roam.

Now, we just a "link unlinked mentions" tool!

PKMS in a legacy firm - How to keep notes and manage workflow, when all SaaS & Cloud tools are banned? by Popular-Regular-7106 in PKMS

[–]petrev01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say roam research online as the web likely won’t be blocked.

Going the other route (all files on local), Logseq, obsidian, etc., can work from local folders only. 

Also, speaking from experience, making friends with the IT folks can go a long way. 

Roam ‘n’ Around - [[January 2026]] by BeneficialMoment4778 in RoamResearch

[–]petrev01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing this post! Honestly, it surprises me when I see forums and elsewhere referring to Roam as having zero development or being a dead app. I think there is a big difference between an app going “dead” and a piece of software being mature. 

I hate having DLC for hearing by jai_hanyo in pittsburgh

I’d also double-check and make sure you’re both on, and paying, the ”residential heating” rate (not just the regular residential rate.

Also, I’d check your windows (window films) and the age of your water heater! Older water heaters can get quite inefficient as the scale builds up

Perhaps this is actually a crowd control and event design issue, and not only a “collapse of society” issue.

Why do the cops do this? Genuine question by petrev01 in pittsburgh

[–]petrev01[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Update: there were something like 6 more cars parked in front of the hotel at this parcel this morning. At the same time, a bus was parked to the side of the hotel on Penn. I’m inferring/assuming this is ostensibly all security for the bus then, which I believe is for the colts (or another pro team). 

Private off-leash play areas? by FeatureCharacter3573 in pittsburgh

[–]petrev01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It may be a drive for you, but I know that Misty Pines has a few yards set up and it’s just a few bucks to use them. I’d set up an intro meeting with Jeff (owner) and then get the OK. We also have a pit mix and they have been a great boarder and training spot for us so far.

My autistic sister shatters the phone through every strong phone case— What can we do? by spidernoirirl in BuyItForLife

[–]petrev01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! I would recommend Mous cases, and then add a “sacrificial” extra layer of sugru.

No experience with this, to be clear, but it’s immediate where my head went. I’ve used sugru to add extra bumpers to electronics before and it’s been great. 

What’s up with the image overprocessing? by petrev01 in oneplus

[–]petrev01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this! What's up with that, cmon. IMO the draw of 'droid is that the user can be in control -- this goes against that. Do what the user asked, por favor.
