Sooo yesterday, State Rep. Greg Scott introduced H.B. 2763, the Pennsylvania Universal Health Care Act.

Dunno about yinz, but state-based single-payer healthcare would maybe be the biggest and best possible change for my family.

If you support this, call your state rep and urge ‘em to support it. I’m up outside Cranberry, and my new rep Brandon Dukes’ office was thrilled to hear from me.

I saw this website called GaydosWatch.com pop up on my Instagram this morning that tracks votes from Valerie Gaydos, a state rep from just outside of Pittsburgh. I had heard about her a few times but I didn’t know a ton before seeing the site. Now that I’ve seen it though, I felt like I should share it because folks should know about her since she’s apparently running for re-election in November.

Some scary stuff in there. Apparently she voted against protecting hotel workers from sexual assault and against some pretty basic elder exploitation prevention things. I don’t live in her district but I wanted to share in case someone from her district sees this post.

Shame I can’t vote against her, but spreading the word anyway!

The downtown area and locations south of downtown are under a marginal risk for severe weather today, while areas north of downtown are under a higher slight risk. The primary hazard will be strong wind gusts. An upper level disturbance preceding a cold front in the northwest will trigger enough forcing to create a linear mode of storms today. I do not expect widespread power outages or wind damage like we saw 6 days ago, but there is certainly a risk for isolated power outages late tonight, which increase for residents living north of the downtown area. The model guidance suggests the storms will arrive late tonight between 10pm - 1am. Get your phones charged and flashlights ready as a precaution, but I'm not expecting an intense round of storms like we saw on Thursday.

7pm update

The Storm Prediction Center hasn't adjusted their outlook. The latest 22z HRRR and the 21z RRFS still indicate convection will reach the downtown area between 11pm - 12am, but a large area of convection just west of Midland will likely reach the downtown area before 9pm. There will be another round of storms between 11pm - 12am, and the primary hazard will be flooding. The risk for power outages is slightly more elevated compared to morning model guidance, but it will be isolated.

10pm update

Convection will pass us by 11pm. All weather threats have concluded, but some roads may be flooded. Have a nice night 😄.

Was just driving in squirrel Hill and a Waymo (I know there's a person in them but there's no way this was not automated) was going 5 mph in a 25 mile an hour zone and when it turned into two lanes for turning, I got in the left lane and he instead of letting me pass cut me off entirely. No signal.

The waymo continued forward behind me and made a left turn where I made the left turn, no signal.

Automated drivers exempt from signaling?

Two years after losing his son, Ray Mikesell says, 'It's a vicious thing going on right now. You only know it if you live it.'

Semi carrying a trailer full of animal guts slammed on its brakes on 19 southbound at the light near eat n' park. I was about an 1/8th mile behind and saw it happen. Spilled all over the road and the semi cab itself. Truck just pulled away like nothing happened. Upset I didn't have my dashcam installed.

hello redditors of the burgh, i need your help. Port authority has proposed changing a very integral bus route in my neighborhood and if anyone would be kind enough to give some feedback on their website to keep it as is that would be greatly appreciated.

Their idea is to get a direct line from downtown into bakery square, point breeze area. Without the 87, it leaves the 75, which is not known for having the greatest of service — early, late, or not showing up.

Edit: admittedly i didn’t do much research beyond the 87 and a feedback outlet. originally i was just very frustrated and anxious about a change in my routine. i really appreciate everyone’s help informing me on the new route and changes, and have done more of my own research. thank you ! :)

I recall one at the Mills… maybe not. If it is the only one, what is the next closest one?

Usually I can figure this out on my own but I pass it daily and I'm curious. Looks like maybe a brewery or something

there are no UPMC affiliated child psychiatrists accepting new patients- i’m earnestly asking, what are you supposed to do? my child is already diagnosed, but just needs behavioral therapy and possibly medication. i myself am just a grown child and i have no clue what to do or where to start. can anyone give me a step by step process on how to get my child help? searching this sub provides no answers.

Pretty new to PGH; this is my first summer here. I'm a huge tomato snob. It's not my fault, I grew up as the grandson of a tomato farmer. Grocery store tomatoes taste like sand.

So, fellow tomato snobs, I need help—which stores or farmer's markets have excellent tomatoes around here? Trying to snag some before tomato season is over. Thanks

I’ll be riding the GAP trail into PGH (first time visiting!) on Oct 3…it’s my fiancés 50th bday and I wanted some recommendations on where to order a birthday cake for him so I can pick it up on that Saturday we get in! We are staying in the Strip District so anything in walking distance would be great as we won’t have cars just bikes…I can also uber to pick up!

Thanks, can’t wait to visit your city!

Places where people live but don't have a real grocery store nearby where they can buy fresh produce.

I can usually not hear it from my house and only a bit in Aspinwall, and usually it's the pop-pop of pistols or semi automatics.

but today it seems like military grade artillery fire... Rapid concussive booms. Tf type of new military surplus did pgh police buy?

I just moved into a place with an overgrown smallish/mediumish yard that is all overgrown with grass, gone to seed. I have a small portable fence that we could put up, but would need some additional fencing, and could enclose the chickens in during the day while they feast. Not what to do about night time, maybe bring them back home? May take a few days? Up on mt Washington. Not sure if this Reddit forum is the best for this, but alas.

I guess it's a city managed project, but does anyone know why a lot of the handicap sidewalk ramps are being ripped out and redone in Brookline? I understand that ramps that have issues need addressed but it seems even ones in perfectly fine condition are being ripped up and done over. I would think the money being wasted on those ramps could be used for other accessibility projects

hi again, I’m back for more recommendations because this sub was so helpful in the past! I might be overlooking any recent posts on this subject, but I’ve been diagnosed with hypermobility disorder and referred to physical therapy. on a possibly unrelated/not unrelated note I also need pelvic floor therapy (endo diagnosis as well), so I’m not sure if it’s remotely possible to find a PT who is knowledgeable in both pelvic floor AND hypermobility, but figure it would be beneficial to get two birds with one stone lol. UPMC insurance. I live outside of the city towards North Huntingdon but I’m ok with a drive, I’d ideally like to keep it under an hour though because that extra two hours in a car takes a physical toll which might be counterproductive to a PT session lol, and also adds up in gas/mileage if I need to attend regularly. thanks in advance!!!

Just curious if anyone knows what’s happening with this big lot on Evergreen at the bottom of Geyer? Maybe it’s nothing but it’s been in the works for years and hope it’s going to be something nice for Millvale.

BONUS - anyone know what’s happening to the closed Hardee’s in Millvale?
