These conversations are so important. @bethanyhallam and @MartyGriffinKD are oil and water, but when we come together and talk honestly about the issues, sometimes the human element can break down walls and lead to solutions.

[Marty Griffin @MartyGriffinKD]

She's outspoken, unapologetic, controversial, and just won re-election to Allegheny County Council. Come along with me and @bethanyhallam as we walk downtown to talk about problems facing our city, our region, and some controversial solutions

In less than 5 words, what is the biggest issue or problem that we face in our society/culture today?

[Josh Miser @JoshMiser83]

@SE_Welfonder @ceciliapeartree Do you know if there is flooding at Beachplace? (Next to the golf course)

I know it's not a perfect data set, and it's a relatively small sample size (75 years), but it seems to point that despite this heat wave not being historical, our overall climate is moving in the wrong direction...

[Josh Miser @JoshMiser83]

As we go into a heat wave over the next few days in Pittsburgh, I thought it could be interesting to look at some climate data for our city to see some history on high temps in our area, and look at trends for our overall temperatures. (THREAD)

[Josh Miser @JoshMiser83]

Using the linear trendline, the overall mean temperature trend in our city has increased from 50.5 to 52.2. This is an increase of 1.7 degrees. This outpaces the global average of 0.14 degrees per decade.

@PghPublicSafety @DuquesneLight So there are no risks of mass outages linked to this event?

[Josh Miser @JoshMiser83]

@billpeduto Any understanding of what impacts a failure like this could have? Is it true that the facilities on that island are mostly for when power usage is high or peak hours? Just wondering if there should be concern for mass outages?

[Josh Miser @JoshMiser83]

@Dan_Grzybek Any idea what the impact of this could be? I'm reading plenty about the fire, but very little on what could happen as a result of this.

[Josh Miser @JoshMiser83]

@pgh_scanner @awSAMM I'm confused by all of this. What is the impact of this? I would imagine it would have some impact on the grid in Pittsburgh, but there are very few outages reported?

Hey @Wendys, throwback stores when? Also, I miss the Country Fried Steak...

@arbybeast When they were here in the Square, I never understood the hype. When it switched to Square One, I did become a fan of their chive biscuit breakfast sandwiches, but 11 dollars for a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit was tough to justify.

Oh my... Found this while cleaning out stuff too. A 2004 letter from my college, explaining my punishment for consuming alcohol while on a college trip to NYC (I was 21 at the time). Christian college culture was a trip...

@brad5320 My college was right across town from Notre Dame and they certainly didn't do this either. Evangelical colleges were a whole different creature from Catholic schools.
