Onion Maiden is the best - this is definitely not because of lack of business. Hope they can figure out a path forward that will allow me to continue eating their food, but I can definitely empathize with the lack of work/life balance being an independent owner/operator in the business can give you

I was going to suggest the North Shore and the Strip. You can see the stadiums and Mister Rogers monument, as well as the Science Center and the Warhol museum, on the North Shore. The walk along the river can be pretty nice depending on the weather.

In the Strip, you can check out Eide's (only of you're into things like comic books and records), the History Museum, and all of the shops (including a candy store). You might want to look into Coop de Ville for a bite to eat. The kids may like it there.

I'd also recommend stopping at the Point downtown. It's an easy walk across the bridge from the North Shore.

The bank does. So they actually save money by utilizing this method

Banks sold it as a rule, but it was a recommended safeguard to require 5 consecutive days. Worked in the Hr department of one of the other large banks in Pittsburgh and we had to navigate this issue while I was there

It’s probably pretty rare but I have heard it mentioned before for the same reason you stated.

It depends on position or department in the bank. Those positions are for “high risk”. They make you take two weeks off once a year to help insure you aren’t doing anything illegal that can be caught when you aren’t there to do it.

Having a higher millage rate doesn't necessarily mean you'll pay higher taxes. Clairton has a 33.000 millage rate but the taxable value of your building is also much lower than Pittsburgh. (Though your taxes would be really high in Clairton on a new Sheetz to be sure just an example) Taxes definitely aren't the primary factor though, I would agree with that.

The assessment is supposed to be based on changes in value since 2012, it's not intended to pretend time stopped a decade ago.

I thought this post was a punchline.

I have heard that they can make you take a 2 weeks off depending on your position. I have had a bunch of different positions at different banks and never had this enforced in any of my positions.

How dare you have facts and not just wild accusations and assumptions!

It basically turns 401k matching contributions into stock options or bonuses.

Assuming this is the same paper towel incident...

It's a myth that stations barely break even on gas. There is absolutely profit to be made on gas. The markup is typically 10%. Apply that to a $75 fill up, that's $7.50. That's before expenses, of course. But there's very little labor cost in selling fuel vs MTO.

Then there's the convenience store business that is driven by having gas. If I need smokes and gas, I'm only going to want to make one stop.

Yes to both, and one opened in Collier near the 79 exit a couple of years ago

Garbage policy. I'm sure you have to still be working there during the distribution of the match, not just through December 31st too.

Generally speaking, gated communities aren't a thing in the Pittsburgh area. There are planned communities, sure, but not like what you're used to in Texas. Our open land isn't flat, and we have forest everywhere.

Geographically, Dallas might as well be on the moon compared to Pittsburgh.

Hi if you are still looking, I am looking to join Ascend Southside. I went in and thought of posting on reddit for someone to partner with.

Please look up heat pump hot water heaters, or hybrid electric hot water heaters, you'll have a fortune. And Duquesne light has energy audit programs you can do too. I have a hybrid hot water and I use about 400kwh a month on the low end.

I thought it was just alright when I went. It was hot and there was a lot of standing in line. You are basically paying to buy tacos that you could have otherwise bought outside of the festival throughout the city. If you really want to try a bunch of different taco places without having to drive all over the place then it isn’t that bad.

🤣

Keeps non white and/or non wealthy people out (unless they're workers) without running afoul of civil rights laws.

Lots of this in the South and West.

Finally time for me to open Beet Sabbath.

Or Mötley Crüditès
