There is a nice arts/culinary scene in Pittsburgh and the universities always bring in new people, so there's definitely a nice amount of diversity when it comes to individual styles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 Fucking FINALLY on my first leg of my flight back. I won’t go so late next time, wasn’t thinking of the time change. Headed to DFW which makes me kinda sad I don’t have more time to hit up sbl. I find I like most cities. Pittsburgh is cool and I’m looking forward to seeing more. I imagine I’ll visit around these parts about once a year or so now so I’m glad I like it and that it id so close to Wheeling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the one I have is pretty comfortable; it looks like this: It inserts into your shoe, then the top part secures around your calf (right below the knee). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 32 minutes ago, stepee said: Im dumb, what does this get you? Specific security lines that are shorter and less invasive (ie you don’t have to take your shoes off, take laptop out, etc). It will cut down your time in airports in the US. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokra Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 @stepee Yeah Global Entry is the shit. It costs $100 for five years or something. To expand a bit on what @Brian was saying: The government does some background checks on you (and you do a short, easy interview) to make sure you're not a national security threat, and once approved, you get speedier entry into the country from abroad. In addition to speedier entry from abroad though, you also get a "known traveler number" which you can enter in when buying domestic flights, and it pretty much guarantees you'll be TSA Pre, again meaning shorter lines, not having to take off your shoes or pull out your electronics, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
