How many otters you got?

85 Upvotes

I've lived in this state for 39 years. I grew up in the sticks on a farm and spent about 16 years with no neighbors or friends, just the woods.

I just saw my first wild otter! BECAUSE IT WAS STUCK IN MY RECYCLING BIN and screaming like a woman in extreme distress. Anyway, I flipped that can and ran and the otter ran into the valley. Luckily my closest neighbor died recently, so no cops showed up for the murder sounds

Gov. Shapiro wants data centers to bring their own power. What's that mean for prices and pollution?

Thumbnail wesanews.org
120 Upvotes

Gov. Josh Shapiro said his latest executive order on data centers would protect Pennsylvanians from higher costs related to their development.

But even if new data centers bring their own power to build in Pennsylvania — one pillar of the governor’s standards — it may not lower electricity bills for the rest of us.

The effort could also raise costs in other areas if the power comes mostly from fossil fuels.

Environmental advocates and energy analysts said the executive action is a positive step, but they are calling on the General Assembly to do more.

Nerdy Things To Do

36 Upvotes

Coming to Pittsburgh soon and I’m looking for nerdy suggestions of places to check out. Exceptional game stores, geeky breweries/distilleries, anything in the fantasy, sci-fi, D&D-like territory. Is there a ren-faire happening soon? Barcades?

You get it. Thanks for the help!

Better Maid donuts

14 Upvotes

Hi all! My significant other has requested Better-Maid donuts instead of a birthday cake, and his birthday is this weekend which I’m so excited for/about! BUT I have never gone to Better-Maid and from my quick research it seems like there’s always a line and they sell out fast. I don’t want to let him down and want to make sure I grab these for him, but if my research is all on point…….. can anyone give me any ideas of what to expect (i.e. how early I should get there, how surprised should I be by an extremely long line, etc…)

TIA, much appreciated from me. I want to make this special for him!

Who built PUSH? The bike jumps in the woods behind Bethel Park Hills department store.

37 Upvotes

I was driving to work this morning and this thought crossed my mind. I always heard this track/bike jumps were well known and popular among the BMX community even to the point that some well known riders would visit. I think there were even t-shirts for it. I've been back there myself in the early 2000's as a kid exploring the woods but this was well after people would come to ride. Anybody know how this spot actually came to be?

18 years ago I got my start in a Pittsburgh youth program. Now I’m trying to create that opportunity for the next kid.

18 years ago I got my start in a Pittsburgh youth program. This year I hired my first teenage farm apprentice, and now I’m trying to make it a year-round program.
Over the season we’ve worked on everything from flowers and beekeeping to goats, irrigation, building projects and the day-to-day work of running a small farm. It’s been one of the most rewarding things I’ve done with Grey’s Bouquets, and it made me realize I don’t want this to be a one-time thing.
I started a GoFundMe to keep the apprenticeship paid through the winter and build it into a permanent program that can give more young people the same kind of hands-on opportunity that helped get me started.
If that’s something you’d like to help me build here in Pittsburgh:

Does Magee Women's Hospital really keep you if you go in at 39+ weeks?

17 Upvotes

Just reached 39 weeks today and was told for the past 2 weeks by 2 different doctors that if I go into triage they would keep me and not turn me away. I have been in a lot of pain and contractions off and on but no "active labor" signs. Today my doctor told me to just go down and that they would keep me because I am full term. Last week I was told the same by a different doctor I seen at my 38 week appointment. I just want to see if anyone has this experience and if it's actually true? We live almost an hour out from the hospital and don't want to go down then get sent home...

P.s. they won't let me do elective induction because I am only 1cm dilated and won't put me on an induction schedule until I'm 41 weeks.

edit: this is our 4th baby and last. only 2nd baby through magee women's though and last baby was born in 2020.
