I've been occassionally seeing these on Manchester and Northside utility boxes for a couple years. After awhile they get soaked and start tearing off, looking just weird and bad. I've thought about ripping some off as I've walked by but I always decide I like the amount of holes my body currently has, I don't need any more

Remember folks, most everything you read nowdays is brought to you via advertising money. Including this reply.

What is the main objective of advertising? To change minds.

That said, the headline should read:

"Pittsburgh Area Woman Killed By Police After Allegedly Shooting At Them"

God damn it that is boring, factual and unlikely to cause clicks, shares and 500 comments that sell more ads after every reload.

The attending covers the surgery and is responsible for the outcome of the patient but will oversee multiple surgeries at once, having their minions performing the surgeries. Often these are fellows or residents, etc. The problem is that the attending should come help during the main portion or hard part of the surgery and it seems Dr. Luketich wasn’t. A terrible practice but a common one nonetheless.

I'm so so sorry to hear about your loss. My dad also had throat cancer and they advised us to do a bit of chemo but to wait on surgery. Then when it got horrible, they admitted they needed to do surgery. They had to break his jaw and go in and they did a horrible job. He couldn't talk and was always in pain from muscle and bone damage. It came back again and again. He passed away a year after they told him the lump on his tongue was nothing to worry about. FUCK UPMC oncology, for REAL. I'm so sorry about your loss, that's insane what they did. I feel your pain immensely.

I am in Union. All the board members, town staff, and solicitor abruptly quit, emptied the file cabinets, locked the computers and took the security camera logins and were gone overnight 😃

You may enjoy, here is said woman’s channel; this lovely clip was RTK’d before the security stuff was taken. This is our township secretary and unknown gentleman after hours kicking down the township building door to get access to the offices… like a fucking movie lol
