  • Is this the part where we get to bitch about how offensively unusable both iTunes and iPhoto are?
  • Daaaaang.
  • I have a colleague whose landlady is doubling his rent, so he has to move out. Does anyone have any leads on rooms for rent?
  • Hating Gene Weingarten. The fading ghost of lithe teenage muscled runner bodies. Yoga. The idiocy and delight of the modern undergrad. Capitalism. The sixth extinction event. Bewildered by how bad Mumford and Sons is. Oliver Sacks is awesome.

  • I have always longed to go to the Remix Vintage Shoes mothership. Vintage reproduction of 20s, 30s, & 40s styles. You can normally only find a handful in Portland, all unreliably scattered around different shops.
  • Oh, if you want veegs recommendations, I can get you ALL OF THEM...
  • I hope you're hungry: http://www.seriouseats.com/2015/08/los-angeles-guide-25-best-bites-ed-levine-mission-impossible.html
  • Where are you living now, Miranda? Dishman is a pretty legit option.
  • Celebrated Sharksgiving (yes, YT, that tradition still lives on in my family) with my & Nacho's parents on Saturday. That means that this coming Thursday is a completely free and open day. What should we do with it?!?! (Caveat: must not support …

  • Dang, if they're going to bring more dance performances to late-night, maybe I'll actually watch! Just kidding, I am the Worst TV Watcher of All Time. Even this could not convince me to commit to any show. John Oliver is the closest I get to commit…

  • I made an account and thought I could, like, "find" people but I guess it doesn't work that way? Me a dumb old person. Me not know how make computers do the things.
  • Is there a channel someone can invite me to so I can check it out?
  • We use gchat extensively, as we use the whole Google suite (docs/drive/mail/chat) for everything. How is Slack different/better?
  • Guise - I want to learn what this Slack thing is. Sarah McDoogan, can you help?
  • Nog alert: both regular AND pumpkin nog were at New Seasons today.
  • Well to be honest, I thought Flossy was that person! But Nextdoor is a great call. Will do.
  • I joined Angie's List once and it didn't even have what I was looking for, and they were super obnoxious about the auto-renew option. It annoyed me so much I'm very unenthusiastic about joining again.
  • So, no handyperson recommendations?
  • Hey, all - we need some work done on our house. I'd like to get some bids from reputable (licensed/bonded/insured/etc) and - important - NOT FLAKY people. Got any recommendations? Women and people of color a plus.
  • Both art directors were wimmin. Here's an interview that focuses on those crazy vehicles. They all worked in real life. Here's one handicapped woman's response to seeing Furiosa.
  • Well, final report: I'm graduating myself. Went in for a doctor's appointment the other day, and they did a blood draw and a vaccination, and it was no. fucking. problem. I was just chatting the nurse and watching the blood go out of my arm...when I…

  • I have made a lot of progress. Remember that when I started, I could hardly watch a video of someone receiving a vaccination. Now this is the kind of thing I am working on (warning: not for the faint of heart!).

  • Some foreclosures are consensual. I know a guy who bought at the peak of the market in Springfield, because he couldn't afford Eugene. Then he got his dream job in Vancouver BC and couldn't sell. He evaluated all his options and eventually just walk…
  • Maybe they bought a one-bedroom place because the housing market in Portland is batshit insane and unaffordable.
  • All other issues aside, can we talk about how jokes about fat chicks and Jews seems like a time warp from 30 years ago??
    in Stewart Comment by freddy April 2015
  • Anyone want an update? I've worked my way through the following videos, in this order: Piercings Acupuncture Vaccinations Transdermal injections (like insulin) Dental injections Blood draws Blood donation (bigger needle, so separate category) Amn…

  • As are his "jokes" about Jews & women (in general). Ijeoma Oluo's column on this is well worth a read.

  • Oh lord, do I love interviews...as a consultant I have an unfair advantage because I get/have to interview for most of the projects I win, so I have many chances to practice. I like to prepare a lot, at the bullet point list level. And I have to p…
