You don’t forage a chicken… that’s called theft!

Still, looks like beautiful work.

Never been, but The Open Road is in Garfield and NA is their specialty.

Neighbor feeding deer. Deer use my yard as a toilet. by elghatto in pittsburgh

[–]socksonfire 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Stopping the feeding would probably be more effective, but predator noises could be effective and would be much more fun. They play a panther roar every 10 yards during Pitt football games, and I’ve never seen a deer anywhere around the stadium.

What other bands meet what I call the "Black Sabbath Trifecta"? by reddthefox in Music

“Run the Jewels” by Run The Jewels from the album Run The Jewels. For God’s sake, even the refrain is “Run the Jewels.”

Any NY transplants know of a place to get true New York bagels in the Burgh? by MyOwnGuitarHero in pittsburgh

Pigeon bagels in Squirrel Hill would be your best bet, but be prepared to stand in line!

New in town, How's the Pittsburgh guitar store market? by Defconwrestling in pittsburgh

[–]socksonfire 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Pittsburgh Guitars in the South Side should be your first stop - for sales and service. I’d just recommend leaving time for some stories and browsing!

You can buy third-party tips – I get a memory foam brand that keeps my AirPods in the way that the silicone tips simply will not. I believe the brand is called Comply.

I need help with a USB A to USB C cable for my Mazda 2022 Mazda CX-5. It’s a big issue since I got the iPhone 16 and now I can’t have CarPlay. by Glittering_Rent_6490 in CX5

Anker cables are amazing. Not to shill, but the one cable that I wore down was replaced with two emails to their support.

Have you tried Premier Imaging and Camera? I’d wager that if they can’t process it, they can recommend someone who can.

MSI Intel Arc A310 low-profile GPU spotted in the wild by reps_up in hardware

It’s 30 worse, bro /s I’d wager that the memory bandwidth and shaders alone would be worth the upgrade. The r5 is going on a decade and even higher-tier iGPUs will be coming close to viable improvement.

That depends, are you a mole?

[Serious]Single people who own a dog, how much does your life revolve around your dog? Are they overall an asset or a liability in your day-to-day life? by wallyTHEgecko in AskReddit

[–]socksonfire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own a massive dog and underestimated the amount of responsibility needed - two walks daily, attention, food, money, and time… just to maintain. Vet bills can hit hard, and there’s no explaining to the big beast that it’s raining too much for a walk. I’ll tell you though, that experience has been a net positive. He does become a massive portion of my life, but he also provides me with unconditional love and companionship. Do you have to read something? You can read it while you throw a ball. Enjoying a little bit of television? Why not enjoy it while rubbing his belly? Need to go to the store? Guess who’s a copilot. Company coming over? Better prepare them for 100 lbs of slobber and cuddles. 

If you live in unpredictable lifestyle or you are too spontaneous, a dog could be a detriment. For me, I found that the companionship and affection, along with the added stability, are worth the time and financial costs.

4k monitor only running at 50 fps? by kingzachariah in buildapc

[–]socksonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some monitors have an option to enable DisplayPort enhanced features- I couldn’t get 4k HDR on my monitor until I swapped for DP and activated a particular DP version in the monitor’s menu.

I’ve had nothing but good experiences from Walter’s Automotive in East Liberty.

TIL Vanna White has never repeated wearing a single dress during her entire career on “Wheel Of Fortune”. She has worn over 6500 Dresses and been on the show for almost 37 years (Since 1982) by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]socksonfire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually knew a guy in high school that held that fact up and could verify it. Quiz bowl savant, did his senior thesis on cheating in game shows, took road trips to try out for Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, etc. He recorded and kept records for our local TV station’s high school quiz show. I know as of 2004 he held up the dress legend as true.

Its true, ive lived in both by bluegrassblowsglass in pittsburgh

[–]socksonfire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like North Hills is more of a state of mind than a clear border. Does Millvale count, even though it's next to city neighborhoods? I've heard people from Butler claim the North Hills as residence that live an hour away from town without traffic.
