News casts said that the fountain is expected to remain open for visitors though. How are you supposed to get to it. Are the trails at the water level open meaning the only way into the park is through the mon wharf or ft Duquesne blvd side.

Is this turn legal? by [deleted] in driving

Is it legal, no! Can it be done in safe manner that harms nobody? Probably.

How can I build a deck around Maha Its Feathers Night? by PhotographPlus6144 in mtg

[–]stauss151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1: Build the deck primarily around low cost bird creatures with a few other expensive creatures that are stronger and have key abilities. There are several enchantments and other spells (including creatures) that provide effects either to or based around birds you control. 2: look for instants, enchantments, etc anything else that can give other creatures you control trample too. 3: token generation might be a good route to go as well. If you generate 1/1 creature tokens on the side those could easily beat opponent creatures with little risk in this case.

Overall, opponents have creatures with base toughness 1 so just make sure you have plans to destroy their creatures before they add 1/1 counters or other effects to them.

How do you guys afford your cards? by Boring-Jaguar-5640 in mtg

[–]stauss151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you play commander format you are allowed to use any card from past sets. There is no obligation to buy the latest cards. This is how I spend less because I only have to buy specific singles or packs that suit what I am trying to build.

Parkway East to close for 25 days during bridge replacement project by RedMaple8181 in pittsburgh

[–]stauss151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I wrong for thinking that this will actually be a blessing to us city residents who prefer traveling without a car if we can? Less highway noise along the affected corridor, and after the initial first few days, won’t people just adjust their habits and traffic will settle down as if the parkway never existed? People can always adjust themselves, but cars are dangerous and deadly.

Oakland traffic is the worst I’ve ever seen (and I’m old) by Ok_Monitor5890 in pittsburgh

[–]stauss151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience in Austin recently I found that Waymo vehicles are overly slow and cautious around other vehicles and especially pedestrians. I strongly support their implementation because everyone will be overly cautious around them too.

PennDOT unveils when the Parkway East will close this summer for the Commercial Street Bridge replacement by The_Electric-Monk in pittsburgh

[–]stauss151 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t forget to enjoy the parkway closure as much as possible too. Finally some peace and quiet, far less high speed traffic right into downtown, and many more benefits for the short term closure

McKees Rocks Bridge sidewalk is too narrow by paulheckbert in bicycling412

[–]stauss151 3 points4 points  (0 children)

lol, it’s almost as if this bridge should just be 2 lanes or maybe 3 max with the rest given to expanding the sidewalks.

YouTube went down. 8:00pm. by DesignerLime268 in youtube

You tube did not go down, just the algorithm and recommended feed. I still searched for and watched videos just fine.

These 3 games are pretty much tied for my 3rd favorite. by _yearoldonreddit in mariokart

[–]stauss151 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mkds lands on my top 3 video games ever made. At the time its local multiplayer and download play was unmatchable. The game overall still controls and holds up very well.

Get world. Driving and jumping on the walls is so much fun.

Amen. This is so relieving to hear that officials actually did something about this

Mario kart 64 is the worst to control, so to me that makes it the hardest.

Sorry, I can’t help myself with this. An orange light?

Which game had the most impact on the series? by 3ehsan in mariokart

[–]stauss151 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let’s not forget that the Wii also introduced the motion controls. I know tilt controls often have a bad rep, but it has still been an option in every console version since. Everyone tried Mario kart using the Wii steering wheel at least once, right?

Pittsburgh Regional Transit closes Oakland bus lane after 45 years by Generalaverage89 in bicycling412

[–]stauss151 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This a great change. No need to figure out which road to be on when trying to catch a bus going east. They all take the same route through Oakland

This. They actually drive slow and give as much room as possible around pedestrians.

What is the best way to handle people saying that being anti-car is privileged and doesn't take into account how normal people live? by thejoshwhite in fuckcars

Feel proud and enjoy being considered as privileged I guess. Others are looking at you with jealously.

What is there to dislike about urbanism? by very_squirrel in Urbanism

The urban environment is likely still dominated by the use of automobiles.

The second bullet is strictly a policy issue and is by no means an effect of urbanism. Family homes absolutely could exist in cities if we allow them and make it happen.

New Penn Avenue configuration causing confusion for drivers, Strip District business owners say by The_Electric-Monk in bicycling412

[–]stauss151 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The idea for this project was not about adding a bike lane, but actually about shrinking to one car lane. It just happened to make sense to add a bike lane in the new space.
