What's an activity that you could foresee yourself doing every weekend for the rest of your life? in c/[email protected]

I know there is a wide variety of times but I feel like 2/3rds of the farmer's markets near me are at inconvenient times for me. "3-7PM on a weekday" nope, "8AM-12PM on sunday" MAYBE if I wake up early and am feeling adventurous.

Lol, right? I still think PublicSource and Pittsburgh Union Progress are good.

Also a good reminder that the Post Gazette has been on strike WAY too long. Ownership should never be forgiven for this. Sell the damn paper.

I read this article and my main takeaway was: that Bling Bling song sucks.

Up and down! 0 motivation to do work but had some nice moments otherwise. And Euro 2024 happening is fun.

Genuinely, this could be good marketing for the TV show that Amazon could do - would just have to make it clear somehow that Mr. House wasn't involved in the show.

I did vasectomy at age of 21 in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Good on ya! I got mine a few years back at 27 and haven't had a single regret. Taking an active role in family planning and making sure your partner(s) don't need to deal with the side effects of birth control is awesome.

The whole "25 y/o brain fully developed" thing is not something you should be putting much weight in, for what it's worth. https://slate.com/technology/2022/11/brain-development-25-year-old-mature-myth.html

How do you find motivation when it's not there? (lemmy.world)

Whether it be to do your job, get your schoolwork done, clean your house, work on your creative passion, etc.

Bonus points if you're someone without reasonable self-control so saying something like "I can only have a cookie after I do this/while I do this" doesn't work for you and you're just going to eat the cookie and not do it.

Downloading Youtube videos with DRM (lemmy.world)

Doing some research on things that I will absolutely never do. Let's say a nefarious party wanted to download a video from Youtube, say, an episode of the TV show Community. The downloaders I have researched for Linux (Youtube Downloader Plus + Parabolic) will not let me download any episodes that have DRM. Are there any that DO let you do so, preferably while removing the DRM so it could be used on Jellyfish or Plex?

Hey all,

Just curious - what are the news outlets you like? Obviously not thinking about the paper being struck right now. Is there much of a difference in quality/trustworthiness of the TV news stations?

Otherwise, I've been checking our PublicSource and Pittsburgh Union Progress.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/1580433 A slightly rainy night here in Pittsburgh but a delicious 2-0 over Detroit. Hounds solidifying their place as #1 in the USL Championship (with Sacramento Republic 3 points down but a game in hand).

Does Costco have Morningstar Farms products where you live? (lemmy.world)

Hi all. My partner saw online about Costco having big packs of Morningstar Farms Chik Patties/Grillers/etc. but we haven't been able to find it at our local Costco in Pittsburgh. Wondering if this a regional thing or if it might be an equivalent to Aldi's "Special Finds"? Any input would be appreciated!

Realtor recommendations in the city? (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hey y'all, allow me to be the first to do an "asking for advice" post on here. Anyone have recommendations for realtors that are based in/specifically focus on the City of Pittsburgh? I feel like I've seen way too many who are like "Pittsburgh Realtor!!! Based in Cranberry Township (or other far out suburb/exurb)" and that I want to avoid that hassle. We have to live inside the city limits due to my partner's job with the city (and honestly, we'd probably be living in the city anyways). Looking primarily at neighborhoods in the South Side with good public transit options.

Any advice is appreciated!
