Reply to Another complaint about Magee by 1MagnificentMagnolia

Contact magee patient relations. https://www.upmc.com/patients-visitors/patient-info/patient-relations

However I'm wondering if it was on the application, which is handled by the county, not magee, if it was a county or state screw up. Magee just passes on the applications to the government body that issues them afaik. I'd contact the county or state too.

Reply to Reel mower sharpening service? by enemy_of_your_enema

Easy to do yourself. Just need some honing grit from Amazon.

In a pinch I have also just run a file over the blades and then fine-tuned the spacing adjustment. The blades will self-sharpen the last little bit just fine. Just wear some gloves while you file as it is easy enough to cut yourself.

Reply to Best trivia night for people below 40 years old by smm656

I have played a ton of trivia in the city over the last 15 years or so. My wife and I still go every now and then. I've found the South Side to be the best in general if you're looking for a game Tues-Thurs.

South Side Marios on Wednesday I've probably been to the most. Shadyside Marios is on Thursday. They swapped to a new trivia group about two years ago where it's speed trivia on a phone app. It's pretty fun but better for smaller groups than the old format with the slips. I was a regular at Marios for a very long time so I am always partial to there. Love that place for life.

Bigham in Mt. Wash on Thursdays was pretty good every now and then. Used to go there with an ex and her sister. It gets crowded as hell there though and the trivia system was hard to hear sometimes.

Primantis, Smokin Joe's, The Library (not sure about now since they reopened), Archie's, OTB, Urban Tap all on the South Side I've played as well. Several of these places use the same group that Marios uses. Archie's is probably my favorite out of the group because the wings and drinks are cheap, although OTB is probably my favorite restaurant in the South Side. Urban Tap you have to make a reservation a lot of the time and can leave there with bills in excess of 90$ for two people if you eat and have a drink or two. That place really blindsides you.

I've played some in the Waterfront, Rock Bottom IIRC. Some in the North Hills/Wexford area. Houghs in Greenfield. Those usually get an older crowd. Everything else I listed though falls into the age range you're looking for.

Reply to Why is Lake Arthur so low at Moraine State Park? by rossmarp

I live by Shenango in Mercer Co. Moraine is like 30 mins south.

We have our lake fed through a dam. It is man made. Big one. Ski boats and a marina and all that. They lower it in late fall, several feet.

Anyway, from what Ive gathered over the years, it does protect shorelines and so forth--but it prevents flooding from snow melt when it warms up in spring. I think this is the primary reason. Someone correct me if Im wrong.

They seem to be trying to investigate and/or expose the murder of Jeff Baldwin. (I tried a google search, both for Pittsburgh and nationally, for any dead Jeff Baldwins but found nothing interesting.)

I also see a mention of "John Guessman." Googling that name brought me here (https://kingofegypt.net/pitt-pa-smooth-criminal), which appears to be a lot of insane nonsense but definitely related to Pittsburgh, which convinces me that the guy who left these signs is the same guy who made the page. It's also called "King of Egypt" and the top of the sign says "King of (something)" so again, that can't be a coincidence. The website is even harder to understand than the picture is, but it does refer to John Guessman as a DEA agent in Washington DC. (FAIR WARNING: There is also a lot of use of the n-word on that website).

Again, the website is very hard to read/understand and there's a lot of things that have no obvious connection, but my best guess is that the thesis is that the white government (and John Guessman in particular) are intentionally trying to kill people of color (especially Jeff Baldwin).

There's also mentions in the picture of a $10 million heist, and a heist related to a drug cartel bust in Aliquippa that led to the death of Jeff Baldwin (same heist, I assume?)

Actually, I just searched again, and now I've found a Jeff Baldwin related to Aliquippa. Looks like he was an up and coming star linebacker at the high school level in the 80s. I can't find any mention of him dying or where he is now. Skimming through the website, a found a reference to an attorney John Hudesack Jr. of Beaver Falls advising Jeff Baldwin that it would be "dangerous to testify in the KKK case." I tried searching for Hudesack with and without the junior, in and out of Beaver Falls, but found nothing.

I've just now realized that the "King of" message at the top and bottom both say "King of Atiest" (at the top it's King of Atiesting". I believe that's a misspelling of "King of Atheist/Atheisting", which is a phrase with plenty of hits on google. This appears to be the author's name: "The King of Atheists" The final poster in the picture says the DEA raided The King's home, perhaps in 2019. It also gives Jeff Baldwin's weight as 280 pounds...is he missing?

Top right poster suggests a "double agent" told The King that "their" goal is to kill Jeff Baldwin...who at this point, I'm beginning to think might be The King's real identity.

Judge Brook Smith and Attorney Verdell Dean are both real people in Pittsburgh in those positions, per google. The phone number listed in the photo goes to Attorney Verdell Dean's office.

There's also a mention of Linda L Montgomery. Googling that took me right back to The King's website, where he says "Linda L Montgomery will never see her son if she violates any law of god." There are some photos too -- some I think are Janet Jackson, but some of them could be Linda. I wonder if she's The King's mother. Linda, Judge Brook Smith, and Attorney Verdell Dean are all listed as people who know the truth, per the picture.

That's as far as I can take it. I don't know why this is what I decided to dive into at 1 AM before a workday, but I enjoyed it.
