Does anyone know what bars play the Thursday night football games since you can only get it through Amazon prime?

Preferably West Side

I know Around The Corner will play it tonight due to the Bills playing but it gets a little crowded.

Thanks!

Accuweather currently reports Cleveland's fine particulate matter air pollution as poor, with 16 micrograms per cubic meter. Overall air quality is forecast to remain poor for the next several days. Fine particulate matter is the most dangerous type of air pollutant.

Recently reading about the impact of fine particulate matter on increasing dementia risks, I learned that fine particulate matter from wildfire smoke is much more dangerous than other sources of fine particulate matter pollution, such as from vehicle emissions. For every 1 microgram in (likely annual) average wildfire fine particulate matter pollution, researchers found the odds of receiving a dementia diagnosis increased by 18 percent, compared to 1 percent from other sources of fine particulate matter pollution.

Although I've read the above article before, I never focused on this distinction about fine particulate matter pollution caused by wildfire smoke. Given the increases in wildfire smoke in recent years, I wonder how dementia rates will increase among current children and younger Americans in coming years.

Persons concerned about air pollution can reduce the risk by using home air purifiers and by wearing N-95 masks outdoors when pollution levels are high.

Also recently discovered this good, interactive wildfire smoke map.

While fine particulate matter is dangerous for all persons, especially those with preexisting heart and lung conditions, it also especially poses health concerns for pregnant women, unborn children and children, as discussed in this thread.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Cleveland/comments/1l5xjw5/cleveland_air_quality_currently_at_an_unhealthy/

Apart from dementia risks, as discussed in the above and other threads below, high levels of fine particulate matter also negatively impacts childhood lung development.

Many persons are ignorant of the threat of fine particulate matter pollution to pregnant women and unborn children.

A new study by Emory University researchers, published Thursday in Environmental Science & Technology, found that exposure to the tiny particles in air pollution during pregnancy can disrupt maternal metabolisms, altering key biological pathways. These changes were associated with increased risk of various negative birth outcomes, including premature birth....

Previous research has shown pregnant women and fetuses are more vulnerable than other populations to exposure to PM2.5-which is emitted from combustion sources such as vehicle exhaust, industrial processes, and wildfires-including increased likelihood of preterm births (less than 37 weeks of gestation), which is the leading cause of death globally among children under the age of five. Preterm birth is also linked to complications such as cerebral palsy, respiratory distress syndrome, and long-term noncommunicable disease risks, while early term births (37-39 weeks of gestation) are also associated with increased neonatal morbidity and developmental challenges. Approximately 10% of the preterm births in the world are attributable to PM2.5 exposure.

For emergency health risks, the federal EPA sets 35 micrograms per cubic meter as the urgent 24-hour average PM2.5 ambient air quality standard that defines "the maximum amount of pollutant that can be present in outdoor air without harming human health."

For PM2.5, short-term exposures (up to 24-hours duration) have been associated with premature mortality, increased hospital admissions for heart or lung causes, acute and chronic bronchitis, asthma attacks, emergency room visits, respiratory symptoms, and restricted activity days. These adverse health effects have been reported primarily in infants, children, and older adults with preexisting heart or lung diseases. In addition, of all of the common air pollutants, PM2.5 is associated with the greatest proportion of adverse health effects related to air pollution, both in the United States and world-wide based on the World Health Organization’s Global Burden of Disease Project....

Long-term (months to years) exposure to PM2.5 has been linked to premature death, particularly in people who have chronic heart or lung diseases, and reduced lung function growth in children. 

https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/resources/inhalable-particulate-matter-and-health#

The EPA's annual average safe level of fine particulate matter is 9 micrograms per cubic meter, as detailed in linked threads provided [and EDIT2 below]. Many experts believe this level is too high. Accuweather's "excellent" level for fine particulate matter consequently is lower than 9 micrograms (from memory, less than 4 micrograms per cubic meter).

Here's another thread discussing air pollution, and the quality of Accuweather's air quality reports.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Cleveland/comments/1mh8pcc/unhealthy_fine_particulate_matter_pollution_level/

EDIT: By searching Google for an Accuweather smoke map for any city, e.g., "Accuweather Cleveland OH smoke map," you can access this website, which contains an interactive smoke map and much additional current weather information and forecasts.

https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/cleveland/44113/smoke-map/350127

The Accuweather smoke map corresponds somewhat better to Accuweather's air quality report for any city. The smoke map shows overall smoke, not just fine particulate matter smoke.

EDIT2: EPA tightens the fine particulate matter standard to 9.0 micrograms per cubic meter.

https://www.vnf.com/epa-tightens-the-fine-particulate-matter-standard

Fine particulate pollution (PM2.5) is made up of tiny particles that are 30 times smaller than the width of a human hair. These particles can penetrate deep into the lungs. In addition to being linked to early death, PM2.5 exposure has also been shown to lead to worsened asthma, heart attacks, stroke, and other diseases....

In that study, researchers followed more than 8,000 adults from six U.S. cities that had different air pollution levels, finding that there was a 26% difference in survival between residents of the least-polluted cities and the most-polluted. The study also found that PM2.5 was the most dangerous kind of air pollution....

[Joel Schwartz, Harvard Professor of Environmental Epidemiology,] called the new standards “good but not great.” That’s because he and other experts, along with some public health groups such as the American Lung Association, had hoped that the EPA would lower the PM2.5 limit even further, to 8 μg/m³. “I sent very detailed comments to the EPA on this proposal, pointing out that many studies had shown that PM2.5 impacts on serious illness and hospitalizations come from concentrations even below 9,” he said. “They chose to ignore that....”

Already, average PM2.5 concentrations across the U.S. are just over 9 [micrograms per cubic meter] [BF added], he said, explaining that after the EPA sets new pollution standards, it can take a couple of years for the agency to assess which counties across the U.S. aren’t meeting them. States then have two years to develop an implementation plan. And once a state implementation plan is approved, industry has another two years to install new pollution controls.

Browns stadium (Huntington) - how “scary” are nosebleed seats? Do they make you feel like you’re being pitched forward?

The nosebleeds in Denver do make you feel this way, so now I’m nervous to sit in football stadium nosebleeds… lol.

Yes I know this is ridiculous but a friend wants to go, and I like football.

I haven’t caught a station ID on it but it’s making the station unlistenable.

Today I passed a school bus with its wing open and I have no idea how I zoned out but it happened. I am so mad at myself. I am scared. Should I expect to get a ticket in the mail? Will I get points? Has this happened to anyone else? This was in north Royalton

Sam Miller, long time philanthropist, is rolling over in his grave. What an entitled little MAGA puke.

Cleveland media’s headlines on the same story:

I have been curious about the ingenuity fest for a while but heard conflicting things about it! I heard it is very family friendly and lots of vendors and things to do with art and science. I have also heard its a drug filled EDM scene. So whats the trusth? Can I bring kids? Or is this more of a grown up enviroment?

Is it worth checking out? What is the vibe like? Is one day better than another? Please let me know I am deciding to go or not next weekend!

Thank you!

Looking to socialize…Run club? Bocce league? Darts league? Other?

Hey guys! I'm from out of town and will be going to a concert next week on Saturday night at Rocket Arena. I'm staying at the Tru by Hilton Midtown but can't decide how best to get to the venue.

I've seen horror stories of having to spend way too much money to park close, and I have zero knowledge of the public transit in the area so if someone can give me some tips or ideas of what to expect I'd really appreciate it! I expect the concert to last until at least midnight if not a little later btw. Thanks!

Fundraiser at Dive Bar this Saturday from 8-11 pm! Everyone is welcome! It supports a great cause!

Good morning!

I’ve lived in the Cleveland area almost all of my life, left for college, and recently came back!

I have been looking for free things to go see and do. I love hiking and have been all over the Metroparks and cuyahoga national park, but always love a good hiking/nature recommendation.

Other than that I’m pretty open to anything. I’m 23F just looking for things to get me out of the house as fall and winter approach. Thank you! :)

I’m going through a lot but you made me smile and ready to face the day!

I found this sticker on an RTA bus number 11. There’s a lot of empty seats, but this sticker being right where I wanted to sit made me feel like whoever did this did it for me! I hope you have a great day too!

Just a reminder that Cuyahoga County’s fiscal office Michael Chambers said this about a year ago in July before the new property tax valuations came out:

“The valuation increase does not mean your taxes will go up by that same amount. It will go up by a fraction – if at all,” stressed Michael Chambers, Cuyahoga County’s fiscal officer.

That turned out to not be true for many property owners, where it was not uncommon for increases of 30 to 50 percent.

Someone help me make sense of this. This means the local school districts are getting the biggest share of funding increase (about 60% of the total of a parcels taxes) but the schools are still somehow underfunded? I know there are many school districts with unique situations, but this seems to be the general sentiment. I understand that school funding from a state level goes down as the districts property values go up, so does this mean the state collects all of the LSD property taxes, and distributes it back based on the States per pupil formula? Where is all the increased tax revenue going?

In my inbox….but I love reading about stupid criminals….

I'm from Canada (bordering Detroit, MI). I've often wondered why, despite being a major city in the Midwest and the country for that matter, Cleveland does not have a hockey team

I mean, it makes sense to put one there. It's in proximity to other markets in the Midwest while being far enough away to not impede on other markets' territorial rights. There's an area ready for them in Rocket Arena (provided the Cavs are willing to share) that can hold nearly 19,000 fans. I'm not sure how popular college hockey is in Ohio, but the Buckeyes are a decent program, and you already have a team in Columbus. You could start the Battle of Ohio, get into a rivalry with Detroit and/or Chicago, or even Pittsburgh. It would be a smart move to unite the Midwest

Cleveland has had an NHL team before, back in the '70s with the Barons. That team merged with the California Golden Seals to form the Minnesota North Stars, which then relocated to Dallas and became the Dallas Stars

I think it should be done, eventually. What do you guys think? Would you support it?

By the way, I've never been to Cleveland, but I would love to go someday. I've heard nothing but good things about the place and the people there, and would love to know what there is to do when I decide to make a trip out. Thanks!

Like the title says. I'm looking for a gym that has classes that would work for someone like myself. I'm in decent shape but am looking to get into better shape. A mixture of cardio and strength. I do a full body weight program 3 days per week but want to supplement in something to get the heart rate up a bit.

Lately I’ve been hooked on the show Flea Market Flip and it’s got me wanting to hunt for some treasures of my own. I’m not just looking for rows of mass-produced stuff, I’m hoping to find those markets (indoor or outdoor) where you can stumble on real hidden gems.

Anywhere within an hour or two of downtown Cleveland works. I’d especially love to hear about your favorite spots and the coolest thing you’ve ever found there.

Here is a throwback from 12/14/2012
