Reply to comment by Neither_Squirrel in Tons of police stops in Robinson & Moon Twp? by xXSilverTearsXx
A couple years ago there was a complaint post about cops pulling people over on 51 when it was snowing. Very little discussion over the fact that people were speeding on 51 while it was snowing.

What if the basement floor is a 1-inch slab poured over dirt? ;)
The house is a hundred years old and the basement frequently got water, but redirecting surface water got rid of everything but the summer humidity from being in contact with soil.

I can't tell if you're serious about drilling out gas jets, but for anyone else reading this, do some research into how precisely these holes are drilled for their intended output. And not just the size - the shape of the orifice greatly influences how much gas flows at a given pressure.

You can also go up the hill to the west side of the bridge and walk through the cemetery to the northern end of the park. Really nice walking on that route, too.

Make sure you waft the spicy stuff. I maced myself doing that once (not the actual nutmeg mace).

Yes
Edit: For a more serious answer, I would say Mitchell's, Forbes Tavern, or Genoa, in ascendening order of distance. The ones near the arena are pretty bad.

Did they really? I saw a video clip on KDKA and the thieves clearly drove something with significant tread up to the bell. I wouldn't have guessed that that was also stolen, but it does make sense.

Reply to comment by ocdcdo in Has anyone here used molyneaux’s kitchen refresh service? by dan_alyst
Ah I see. I actually got a farmhouse drop-in from Ikea, but it was wider than my sink base so I had to trim some material out of the neighboring base for the strainer. Then I used wall cabinets to make a coffee bar base with a bar sink, which also required some trimming. To me that seems like a reasonable amount of tweaking. So if you want everything to just fit by default that could be a problem. I still think they are very easy to work with and "customize" with relative ease.

I'm not sure what you mean by "heavy customization." Countertops all attach the same way. Sinks are just sinks. Either drop-in or undermount.

That's a faster response time than the last one. It took minutes before one sheriff dept. car slowly rolled down Wood w/ L&S. I wonder if Shotspotter has a reliability problem or something .

Was there a shooting on the bridge, or are you thinking of the last one where they fled across the bridge?

Contractors get a lot of work at the mills. Or at least they did when upgrades were still planned, or when stuff caught fire.

Just under $400. Old house with no insulation in the walls, just the attic. There are drafts I could still seal up but it will never be cheap till there's something in the walls.

I always do this on my motorcycle. The turnpike sucks on two wheels. Traffic is crazy bad in the eastern half of the state, though.

The Senate does this. And the house does, as well, if you compare reps per capita between California and Wyoming, for example. Why do rural states need even more voting power in the executive branch, as well?

Reply to comment by AirtimeAficionado in Fern Hollow Bridge is OPEN! by MaynardWaltrip
You're absolutely right about the accelerated approval process, but I suspect a lot of the discretion applied for this project was based on the anticipated shitshow of the looming bridge replacement on the Parkway. After that project is complete I am hesitantly confident that they will revisit lane allocation on the Fern Hollow.
