I created a bsky profile. I'll probably mirror posts between there and here for a while, and eventually move everything over there.

@pgh_scanner For those interested... Canton Ave is the steepest officially recorded public street in the United States

@paolini Yes please. And another 20 feet on the walls of, and sewers below, Dras Leona..

@Pittsburgh This is a good thing. I've lived in the Pittsburgh area my entire life, and inside the city limits for 16 years. I never knew what the colors meant.
Having a unified look, and freshly re-done signs (and re-done in a very economical way) will help give the city a uniform look.

@Matt_Dragon26 @foxes_in_love Ooohhh.... Maybe I can try using it on AstroTurf, and when it fails to work right, sue the manufacturer under the UCC for violating the fitness clause and the implied warranty of merchantability.

@AdamWayne11 @Pittsburgh Unless today is Easter, no it's not.

Transgender Day of Visibility is the same day every year - March 31st. Has been since it started in 2009.

Since its inception, the two have coincided twice, in 2013 and 2024.

@Brisingrthrone @Dravarden @twirlywirly68 @paolini Not just magic... Dragon Magic. Wild Magic (as dragons have no conscious control over their magic aside from flight and fire)

That opens up a whole WORLD of possibilities.

@NWSPittsburgh Lost half of a large tree - 10" diameter mainstem snapped. Claremont Drive in Lower Burrell

@pgh_scanner Tell Karen that she wanted to call the Fun Police, not the Pittsburgh Police.

[Christopher Paolini @paolini]

Reading and watching science fiction has (along with reading history) been the best preparation I've ever had for the modern world. Worldwide pandemic? No big surprise. A.I? Humanoid robots? Self-driving cars? Rockets landing on their tails? Etc. Etc. Etc. It's all been in the stories. Do you know where the word "grok" comes from? Ever seen Colossus: The Forbin Project? Reading/watching sci-fi provides context for the world we live in ... and prepares us for the world to come.

@manitobaasshats @Pittsburgh @UPMC UPMC doesn't pay any city taxes.

Their employees do though, through payroll and sale tax (though that's technically county and state)

@NWSPittsburgh When was the last time that any of the three rivers froze solid, with thick enough ice that it was reasonably safe to walk across them? My grandfather used to tell me stories about that happening.

[Dobie Tanpaw @lildobe]

@pgh_scanner Which is weird because it's still above freezing. But people ARE driving like jagoffs more than usual. I saw a jeep on 28 tailgating a sedan about 2 feet off their bumper, going 70 in a 45.

[Dobie Tanpaw @lildobe]

@pgh_scanner I feel like if I was still a 911 operator, which I haven't been since 2004, I would have said to the ICE agent something along the lines of "And? So? Therefore?"

I'm glad that the zone supervisor had about the same response.

[Dobie Tanpaw @lildobe]

@mktoon It's sad how many old stories I've re-read recently that portray corrupt and/or evil governments, and see parallels with what is happening now. It's sad.

@espersenbob @NWSPittsburgh I am impressed by how fur-free your floors and baseboards are in this photo.

[Dobie Tanpaw @lildobe]

@ALittleLuvCo Woohoo! I love my sippycup and would love to have another for my friend!

[Dobie Tanpaw @lildobe]

@pgh_scanner Funny how they were praising the new plow tracker ... But every time we have any decent amount of snowfall it's down.

[Dobie Tanpaw @lildobe]

@BS_Publications @paolini @schaturvedi Chris didn't write the screenplay for the movie that shall not be named. Peter Buchman did, as an adaptation of @paolini's novel.
