I would put them in your car and then drop them off somewhere else

Reply to URA's Avenues of Hope has $7 million to help undo a history of disinvestment in Black neighborhoods by RadioChris1
Why don't private entities invest in places like Homewood? Surely there's a huge underserved area with massive profit potential.

Very legible! Ty so much! I think the Swedish one with the onion looks most 'right'. I will advise how they (the cabbage rolls) turn out (might be a bit - I want to make with my sister and am not sure when we can get together for half a day). It is so rare to see a cabbage roll recipe that doesn't call for tomatoes or tomato soup!

Reply to comment by Cotijacheese in List of seven deceased workers from the 1892 Homestead Steel Strike. by NineFootEightWeight
Those guys didn't even know where they were going or what they were doing until they were literally on the barges in the river, parked offshore from the plant. They took the jobs because they needed work. They didn't know they were coming to battle 4,000 insane militants who had illegally seized private property.

If this is your private property, put up Private Parking and No Trespassing signs. Also, put up the No Parking-Violators will be towed at their own expense signs. Take pictures after you put them up. If the scooters are parked there for 3 days (after taking photos every day), call a tow company to have them towed/taken away at the owner's expense. Not your fault. The scooters get moved and the idiots who don't care about your property pay the cost.

Reply to UPMC agrees to pay $8.5 million to settle whistleblower lawsuit filed by former surgeon by Newkid92
They settled because if this went to a jury, it would most likely be composed of Reddit poster-types, who hate UPMC and other big corporations and love playing Monopoly with other people's money. "Yeah, $25 million for pain & suffering and $250 million in punitive damages. Why not?"
There is always that risk and so settlement often makes sense.

It's just a naturist group. I know people be meming and such, but nudism and nudist groups are awesome.
If you'd like to learn more I'll gladly explain, but here's the basics
- Cover fee and get nude
- Carry a towel everywhere (for sitting / hygiene)
- Don't be creepy about it. It's just peeps hanging out nude

First year Residents start at $62,000+ plus benefits. Yes, they work 100 hour weeks on a regular basis but that is not every week. They are also getting world class training that will easily land them a six figure job anyplace in the country.
Now, I can't speak for all of their hospitals but I will say that, when my father was rushed to Mercy, their ER was great. When he went up to Critical Care on the top floor, all of the doctors and nurses were absolutely incredible. The doctors were intelligent, kind and generous with their time, even meeting with our entire family for over an hour on a Saturday. There were five doctors, including the head of the Neurology team.
His nurses were so kind and awesome. I asked one why they were on 12-hour shifts and she said it was because they were short handed. I asked if it was because UPMC treats them badly and she said "No, nursing is what it is. We signed up for this. We are just having a difficult time getting people to work, even with good pay & benefits." I take her at her word.

Sorry about the dirty phone camera lens lol. At least it's legible!
u/haista_napa kindly requested the Norwegian and the Swedish meatball recipes from this fascinating little book, put together by the University of Pittsburgh International Women's Club. Of course, when I open the book and find two solid pages of meatball recipes, I'm not going to leave a single one out! I hope one of these is the childhood recipe you're looking for, friend <3 either way, please let us know how they turn out!

It was my aunts decision and in the end she chose not to peruse anything. I think she was just devastated and lost. They said when they got in there it was more in invasive than they thought. They could have made the decision to remove what they could and close him up. He absolutely had more time but instead he was treated like an experiment because he was going to die soon anyway. For the life of me I can’t remember what their excuse was for leaving him like that. He was brain dead, why leave him open and tell us you’re planning a second surgery is absolutely beyond me.

Remeber that thing that just happend, no not the derailment. The thing that the president signed, to stop a strike that was because of how absolutely horrid the rail companies are to work for? Hard pass.

It doesn’t sound like this was his decision, per say. When UPMC says jump, you don’t have time to ask how high. You just jump, and keep jumping.
Now the surgeon could have said something, which would have costed them their job. What hospital would have hired them? If they left because practice was inhumane and immoral, go where? Hospitals are so short staffed - they need more doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, and so on.. this is everywhere.
They need to pay them more and hire more staff, but they won’t. That won’t make UPMC money. Money that they spend on updating their facilities or opening new locations so that they might be the closest hospital - an ambulance generally take you to the closest hospital. But investing in staff - HA. It’s depressingly unfortunate that places like UPMC have shut down private practices. What can we do; do you pick giant douche or turd sandwich?
Ps. I didn’t downvote you

Thank you so much - please do update me when you get the chance! :)
By the way - there's a wonderful trick to prepping cabbage leaves in this post (Widow Clinton's Cabbage Rolls, image 12) that might save you some time in the kitchen and on your feet. She has a process to prepare the cabbage by soaking, freezing, and thawing the whole head, to replace the par-boiling process. I've tried it and was very impressed, it works great!
Another time-saver you could use, which my mother did to add minced onion into her meatloaf, is to run your onion through the large holes of a cheese grater. It will put out A LOT of onion "tear gas" lol, but nothing gets the onion more fine and uniform more quickly! :)
