  1. I love Pittsburgh. The sense of community sometimes gets lost in the day to day but when it's needed it's still there. Every time there is a major incident like this it's always followed up by stories of how the whole region pulled together. I miss living there.

  2. One person confirmed dead, dozens are injured. ATF is mobilizing to the scene and Allegheny County Emergency Management is operating as a level 3 mass causality incident (MCI) in addition to local resources.

  3. With AOL killing Dial Up Internet I was curious what still exists. I've found that there is over an estimated 160,000 people still using dial up in the US as their only connection (there are others using dial up as a fallback)

    Earthlink quietly shut off dial up access in early 2024 (best I can tell).

    Incredibly Juno and NetZero both still offer 10 free hours of dial up a month (and unlimited subscriptions).

    I've been using Mojeek a bit more but their index isn't large enough yet. The problem with the old names like you listed are they are, well, just names -- they rely on Google or Bing for search results (Bing is where DDG's enshittification is coming from)

  9. It's interesting how Uptime Robot used to be a solid monitoring platform and then they entered their enshittification phase and now it's nothing but false alerts.

  10. Yesterday while in the ocean having fun the typical beach sounds were interrupted by more sirens than I've heard in a long time. Found out a few hours later that it was a double shooting on the pier just down the beach from where we are staying.

    I was in my late teens and early 20s when Disney was doing this... It confused me because of all the redirecting and I actually remember thinking that it could be dangerous... I wondered who go.com was and why I ended up there. Had no inkling that domain redirection (misdirection?) would become the privacy and security nightmare it is today.

  12. "having seen this horrible event, I would imagine you'd put alarms up in some form, where alarms would go up if they see any large amounts of water or whatever it is"
    -- Trump

    Imagine that... I wonder who that would fall under? Maybe NOAA? Oh yea, that agency you keep cutting.... Or maybe USGS? Hmmm, yea that one too.

    It's not inept people on the ground... It's the inept leadership of this country.

  13. This isn't a mistake. I've seen this behavior at numerous Targets outside of Pittsburgh and I've also seen insane pricing that was reflected on the shelves but not clearly. One of the most memorable for me was when Target's store brand of Naproxen was priced drastically above the Aleeve brand. The company just continues to take advantage of customers that trust them.... This is one of many reasons why I don't shop at Target anymore.

    Christianity has extremists the same way that Muslims and even white Caucasians do. What we see MAGA presenting as Christianity is not even remotely what Christianity is supposed to be. There are Bible verses that go against the very things they are doing yet they are to blind to realize it.

    Rental car companies need to understand "wear and tear"... There is a point where an imperfection is to be expected... A one inch scratch on a wheel? FFS

  16. I looked around the world at everything going on and my first thought was "damnit, why isn't anyone dealing with this alkaline battery issue"......

  18. CW: USpol, Senator Padilla

    "He looked like an illegal"

    Let that sink in... Just because of Padilla's skin color the detainment of a senator was justified by Trump.

  19. Anyone who has POTS -- have you ever had a situation where you weren't feeling well and that corresponded with *lower* than normal heart rate? My typical is around 80bpm resting. Currently while laying down I'm around 65bpm which is lower than I think I've ever seen my body sustain for a while. I don't know the reason for this low heart rate.
