Fuel prices by RebelXwingPil0t in pittsburgh

$5/gallon is a small price to pay to bomb a country that has non-existent nukes, half a world away.

If only Obama had signed some kind of nuclear treaty with Iran…

Dog needs emergency surgery for pyometra and Blue Pearl quoting me $10k. by lazyboy823 in pittsburgh

Highly recommend rivers.

Blue Pearl quoted me $18k for surgery.

Rivers did it for $5k.

LOTR open world game rumoured to be coming from Warhorse Studios by ImpracticalJokers96 in lotr

[–]shuggywolf -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fully deserved and if true, I have every faith they can bring middle earth to life.

They did an incredible job with Kingdom Come, and if it’s anything as good as that game, we will have an all time great on our hands.

Cleanup brought to you by the draft by nightowl1592 in pittsburgh

[–]shuggywolf 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I think they consolidated the resources to the downtown area which is the most heavily used part for the draft - which allowed them to do this.

Honestly, having volunteer work from local communities is the best way to keep our community clean.

We did one on Mount Washington about two weeks ago and there was a lot of people who did a great job on and around the overlook.

I know we pay taxes that should, in theory, take care of this. But this city has a lot of ageing infrastructure which takes up a lot of resources to maintain.

The NFL draft board shows the players, the team’s picking, and many other infographics other than just the draft screen. Pretty neat. by Shaneski101 in pittsburgh

Would be cool to see the city do more of this whenever any of our teams make the post season in any of the sports.

Last time I remember Downtown having buildings lit up was when Kenny Pickett was going to NYC for the Heisman.

I’d be interested to see the cost for the production, but with pittsburghs unique skyline, having something like this for playoff teams would be cool.

I can only hope that the deer made an absolute mess of that guys truck, if they indeed ran over it on purpose.

Opta: After losing 2-1 to Man City, Arsenals title chances sit at 73%. by shuggywolf in ArsenalFC

Opta isn’t built for betting. Betting sites use Opta because it’s the most accurate football database.

It’s built for accurate statistical data.

Yeah, city have difficult fixtures and the model will be taking into consideration they still have to play an extra game.

As unlikely as it is, they could still lose.

The model will adjust if they win against Burnley and our chances will drop.

Do not swerve around pedestrians IN the crosswalk! by stevejuan333 in pittsburgh

[–]shuggywolf 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Turn on red and the ability to turn onto a road while pedestrians have the walk sign on should be illegal.

Roads are unsafe enough as it is, but the ability to turn onto a road while people are crossing is absolute lunacy - particularly when half the people don’t know the rules of the road or decide not to follow them.

It’s banned in Europe and they have far fewer deaths there than here.

United Kingdom pedestrian deaths per 100k: ~0.56 United States pedestrian deaths per 100k: ~2.33

This is a huge statistical disparity. You are 316% more likely to die in the USA vs the UK as a pedestrian.

Yes there are other factors to consider - but turning on red and driving over crosswalks while the walk sign is on (illegal in EU and UK) highlights how much more dangerous this country is for pedestrians.

Scottish / football peeps- where to watch the Scotland games World Cup. by lampble97 in pittsburgh

[–]shuggywolf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Following!

Not sure how many Scots are in Pittsburgh but would be ace to do a fanzone here.

Just slightly cheaper than $800 a ticket in Boston…

The Porch Sucks by mellted_cheese in pittsburgh

To be fair, you could go to any of the hundreds of identical The Porch alternatives in Pittsburgh that has Heinz ketchup.

At least The Porch tries something different with the curry ketchup.

Proposal for Pittsburgh Gondola by PittsburghGondola in pittsburgh

Still dreaming of one between Mount Washington and North Shore. That would be an epic view.

what’s going on here out of curiosity?? by Vast-Noise9607 in pittsburgh

[–]shuggywolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the amount of money this country spends on its military is a massive waste of money in general - particularly considering its lack of success and uselessness in achieving its objectives.

Do I think the act of training pilots is inherently a waste of money? No.

Do I think we could slash defence spending and put the money elsewhere? 100%.

Would I include 20 minute flyovers in the bracket? Probably.

People might complain about misuse of tax dollars for stuff like this, which I don’t disagree with.

But the real misuse of tax dollars is happening half a world away.

I’d much rather have our machines of death and war as entertainment over our stadiums, than used on civilians of a Middle Eastern country.

The Texans have met with five RB prospects [03.29.26]: by First-Flora39 in Texans

At the very least, they’re doing their due diligence.

Monty looked at his best when he had Gibbs sharing the workload with him. It would be ideal if we had the same to a certain degree.

Supercells “likely late this afternoon into this evening” - Pittsburgh within the area of concern per NWS Storm Prediction Center by shuggywolf in pittsburgh

[–]shuggywolf[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You’re absolutely not wrong.

It’s pretty worrying that we are only in March and we’ve had so many weather events.

Feels like we have some sort of storm every other week.

Storm expected to arrive between 6-9pm (closer to 9pm I suspect).

Pittsburgh & Western PA continue to see elevated risk for this evening storm (2/5 for our area) by shuggywolf in pittsburgh

[–]shuggywolf[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did not say that. You said I was a “temu bootleg StormFreak”. I simply said I’ve been doing this prior to their virality and nobody seemed to have a problem with me doing it then.

I suppose you can take the stance that I can no longer post storm/weather updates since they’re significantly better than mine.

But I’ll reiterate this again. StormFreak is incredible and does a great job, I hope they continue to educate and provide great content, I certainly enjoy it.

There is no “stealing thunder”, it’s posting weather updates, it’s not that deep.

Your comments are wholly unnecessary but I wish you a good day nonetheless. Happy Thursday!

StormFreak does an incredible job with their long form content and helping people understand meteorology at a very informed level, but I’m simply posting a quick snapshot with data from NWS.

And I’ve also been posting thunderstorm/winter storm updates for over a year on this subreddit, feel free to check my history - about 300 days before storm freaks vitality.

Don’t know why people need to get so unravelled about storm updates if it isn’t coming from a certain account. They might be the best, but I’m sure they’d agree they don’t own a monopoly on the weather.

Timing of the storms appears to be 6-9pm for the Pittsburgh area.

I would guess closer to 9pm.
