I'm confused my what you mean by "without having to pay 1% of your income."
The city's EIT is 3%, Bellevue is 1.5%, and the surrounding communities are all at 1%.

It's fine. There's some sketch stuff that occasionally happens but that's bound to happen in any dense area. It's relatively walkable. Some areas don't require a car.
I will say, sirens are constant and aggressive. Someone lights a fucking match and every fire engine from everyone of the boroughs shows up and it's a total scene for an hour and a half. No clue why they do this.
It's otherwise fine.

>Changing the way we think about events and the words we use to describe them affects the way we behave. Motor vehicle crashes occur "when a link or several links in the chain" are broken. Continued use of the word "accident" implies that these events are outside human influence or control. In reality, they are predictable results of specific actions.

>Is my mom weird? Is Carrick weird? (yes)
Love it.
To be fair, I've come to embrace Pittsburghese. I tried to push it away when I was younger. I went through a phase where I thought I was superior. Now I'm in a phase where I appreciate its authenticity. It's delightfully distinct. There are times when I'm glad that I can tone it down, particularly when engaging with non-native Pittsburghers. Lately though, I find myself wishing that I could also lay it on think like some of my family.

When it gets really cold, I'll open the cabinet doors under the kitchen sink to make sure that some warmer air can circulate in. Some people recommend letting a small stream of water run to prevent the line from freezing.
I once lived in an apartment and had a roommate that would put a space heater under the sink... I worried that was a fire hazard though.
If you're ultra worried, shut off the water to your place and let the water drain out through the lowest spigot...

Reply to comment by pitt91801 in Why are traffic lights in Pittsburgh timed so poorly? by rickyrichboy
I wish our left turn signals were still 2 decades behind. These new ones with the flashing yellow arrow are goofy. I've been with a few people who ran reds because they didn't realize that the blinking yellow changed to a solid yellow.
And I pray that we never get HAWK beacons.

Reply to comment by ktxhopem3276 in Allegheny General Hospital Experience by SoCalVanGough
Incorrect, the issue is that the hospital policy fails to acknowledge normal human behavior and was ineptly enforced.
Hospitals are profoundly disempowering. To be denied access to a loved one is dehumanizing. Of course the loved ones were going to advocate for themselves and do whatever they could to share her last moments. It is wholly unsurprising that someone would lie just to see their mother before she passes.
People cannot be expected to suppress the human experience. Hospitals already know this. They should be prepared to accommodate this compassionately rather than pay it lip service with an unresponsive Patient Experience department. It is not entitlement. To pontificate otherwise is dystopian.

I'm surprised that 2020 COVID policies are still in effect and antagonizing families. I naively thought that these stories ended with 2021. I would have expected that healthcare providers would have found a way to be more compassionate three years into the virus.
I'm also surprised by the hostility in some of these comments. Losing a parent or a spouse is incredibly difficult. Patients and their families are experiencing some of their worst moments and are vulnerable. OP's feelings and reactions are normal. He's grieving. There's no need to kick him while he's down.
Healthcare organizations know that they're in the business of illness and grief. Professionalism and compassion is crucial and expected. Hiding behind "it's policy" is not compassionate. Printing the policy and demanding that the family read it is inflammatory and unprofessional.
Finally, it's upsetting that healthcare institutions continue to disrespect their providers. How can a healthcare provider be compassionate if their institution does not support them?

Traffic lights feel like they're timed for maximum inefficiency. You'll be waiting at the red and there will be no cross traffic. Then as soon as cross traffic approaches, their light turns red. And god help you if you are a pedestrian lol. You just chill out on the corner like a hooker.

Once you get your knee evaluated, don't forget to establish care with a PCP! This won't be the first time that you have some sort of medical surprise and they are so helpful to have when it happens.
