Yeah, plentiful fresh water and a lack of serious natural disasters (aside from a few localized landslides) means we're probably getting a lot of climate refugees from the sun belt in the coming decades.

Retail prices are higher than pre-pandemic levels, but not 75% higher, according to the EIA. Also trending downward sharply. So gas companies are lowering prices.

Because if they lower their price more than their competitors, they get more business.

Are we not allowed to talk about it? Or should we just make our consumer choices in silence?

Isn't complaining about high prices one of the things that makes the free market work?

Last time I went to Giant Eagle, that was all they had. No Certified Humane eggs, just jumbo bleached white eggs in styrofoam.

I really don't think that stiff penalties are a good way to reduce crime. Drink driving is just something we'll have to deal with until we rely less and less on cars.

Interesting data! It makes you wonder if the frequency of hot December days has changed over time. Let's get more data!
We'd need to include temperatures from a longer time period - well before 1926 - to see if these temperatures are actually unusual and look for a trend. And to make our conclusions stronger, we should expand our scope to include average temperatures from all over the world, not just Pittsburgh. When you do that, you get something like this.

Nobody is panicking. And this isn't the first bomb cylcone/polar vortex or unseasonably warm weather in recent memory.

Both unseasonably warm weather and bomb cyclones can be caused by climate change.

Such a bummer. I have very few opportunities to go out to eat, but had 2 in the last year. Unfortunately, one time Apteka was closed for "fall break" and the other was a Thursday. I don't understand how they can pay rent adequately if they are open so rarely. Please, let me eat your food, Apteka!

Are they still open only 3 days a week? I love that place but I've had the hardest time actually eating there.

Reply to TIL Why Dog Paws Smell Like Fritos. Even the cleanest, healthiest pooch has trillions of bacteria and fungi living on their skin. That yeasty, corn chip smell is actually a normal byproduct of harmless bacteria, usually Proteus or Pseudomonas, both of which are naturally present in our environment. by Rossknight65
What an unsatisfying answer. "Dogs' paws smell like Fritos because there is a bacteria on them that smells like Fritos."

Reply to comment by Grimm2785 in So here I sit in the dark. Wearing flannel-lined jeans and a hoodie. And I get an email from First Energy saying if I don't conserve electricity there may be managed blackouts. WTF? by BeltfedOne
Technically First Energy doesn't own power generation since deregulation separated distribution and generation companies. They have spun off companies like First Energy Solutions that actually are generators.
The coal and nuke plants keep shutting down because they are aging, expensive and can't compete with cheaper gas and renewables in the wholesale markets.
We could solve this shortage problem by incentivizing people to install battery storage and solar and giving them a way to share their stored power with the grid in exchange for money.

Ah, yes, a joke. A joke that is not only not funny, but also looks remarkably like what someone would say if they didn't read the article and didn't understand why this project was expedited.

Honest question - did you read the article? Because they explained why this bridge was able to be built so quickly.

I'm assuming getting the President, Governor, State Senator, County Executive, Mayor, and PennDOT Director to all attend at the same time might be hard to coordinate precisely with the actual opening of the bridge to traffic.

From the, ahem, article:
“The time savings was a lot on the front end,” she said, when the agency
and the contractor designed a bridge with “the material that was
available.” She added that Fern Hollow has “a higher factor of safety,”
than it strictly needs; in order to keep the process moving as quickly
as possible, they designed and built with “some conservative engineering
guesses … so we wouldn't have to go back.”
The speed of Fern Hollow’s restoration can not — and will not — become
PennDOT’s new normal, Moon-Sirianni stressed. It was an emergency.
“There’s a lot of folks that work very, very quickly when something is
an emergency,” she said, reeling off as examples PennDOT’s central
office, PennDOT’s bridge specialist and the Federal Highway
Administration. “You can only have so many emergencies.”

It wasn't clear to me after reading the article if the homeowner or the company did it. This line suggests it could have been the homeowner. Why would the company leave their bucket and "oil contaminated household items?"
" Oil contaminated household items and a bucket of heating oil was outside the residence at 111 Minnesota Street,” DEP said."
