Thanks for the heads up, shows are already selling out so get 'em quick

This whole retraction story is a tempest in a french press. Lies: He made up the dramatic scene with the guy with a mangled hand uses his iPad, he pretended he met underage workers and victims of n-hexane poisoning when it actually happened in diff…

Grabbed a togo cup from Coffee Division this morning, tasted like tier 1 to me!

This thread has some ideas on sifting through your gmail; http://urbanhonking.com/uhx/discussion/comment/3976#Comment_3976

According to Mint our household averaged $569/mo this year for groceries for a family of three, which also includes some household spending because I don't split my Fred Meyer transactions anymore. That has taken some effort, previous year average w…

Catching up on airport reports: SRQ -> MSP -> PDX on Christmas Day. Parade of killer airports. Free wifi in Sarasota and PDX, maybe MSP too I didn't have time to check. (Even 30 mins of e-bay sponsored free wi-fi on one of the flights!) Everyo…

I'm with mac. This might be afterglow from that amazing game vs the Bears yesterday but I've just reserved my seat on the bandwagon. Yes, the media spotlight is annoying, but if you just watch the games as a neutral fan its pretty damn mindblowing w…

Look for the add-ons TooManyTabs and FreshStart for Chrome (and maybe FF?), they are totally enabling my addiction to tabs right now.

My two cents; I'd rather see your office's wastepaper basket become president than any of the GOP nominees. Except maybe Huntsman but Republican primary voters would elect Sarah Palin's dog before they nominate a moderate for 2012. Mormonism will …

Heh, Trimet cheaters overwhelm county courthouse, judges make a deal for $50: http://www.katu.com/news/local/129432258.html @ZombieApocalypse, mebbe you haven't paid yet?

The system is very dumb. Single ticket=don't validate. >1 ticket=validate. No obvious pointers to validate. Many times ticket machines don't work* -- the 82nd MAX stop had no functioning ticket machines for months on end when I worked out there. …
-
Same exact thing happened to me (non validated ticket) several years ago and resulted in a warning where they take details from my ID so if it happens again they can bust me. I thought they finally upgraded those stupid ticket machines to auto-vali…

http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2011/08/portland_public_schools_superi.html Turns out there was a reason the promotion for that bond measure smelled a little fishy. Personally I'm more concerned about the sleazy, but probably legal, mo…

Gotta act fast at UHX

Wanda is full of good ideas! On a semi related note, we need another PITT! @KMikeyM did I get the acronym right? Update: No, I didn't. POTT is what I was looking for. (heh)

Feels Like Home In Paris is run by a really cool gal named Yutunde who meets you there to help settle in, and has a cool binder of suggested things to check out in the neighborhood at each place, and will bring you spare chargers/converters from her…

> Feels weird. I'm sure the space program will return one day when we get our shit > together. Or if, I guess. I guess that's a pretty big IF. I think the idea is that we can't build for the next step (moon, mars, beyond) while still running…

That is exactly what my household is doing bookhouseboyP: cancelling the Netflix DVDs and dusting off the Movie Madness and Clinton Street Video membership cards.
-
Netflix is smart. The result of this will be a ton of people downgrading or cancelling their DVD-based subscriptions and keeping/switching to streaming plans. The amount of money flowing into movie distributors via traditional channels goes down, th…

So I was wrong about MMA, look at all these rules! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_martial_arts_rules#Fouls Krugman is pondering this whole money thing too: http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/07/11/monetary-rage/

> Wait, what money ISN'T make-believe? I thought it all was... There are two different kinds of make-believe. The kind where a group of people share a set of rules, occasionally changing them with the consent of the participants (theater arts, D…

@zin's 18K+ crushes my mere 4167. I'm pretty anal about tagging and archiving via rules else I might give him a run for his money. @Marc_Zuckerburg; FYI you can set Chrome to always remember your tabs via Wrench Icon > Preferences, On Startup cl…

And you are welcome Wanda and ZA. Cheap retail broadband is a minor obsession of mine so I'm glad to share. OPTION SIX: $40/mo $35/mo Clear.com 4G Home Basic + $5/mo modem rental NOTE: Requires two-year commitment, can buy modem for 50 bones to sav…
-
Clear service is a little spotty, or used to be. I would at least be sure to confirm some sort of policy that allows you to cancel in the first month in case you have trouble getting a signal at your place. And maybe test your bandwidth to make sure…

I did finally find a site with standalone pricing specials for just internet service from Qwest-- no other bundled services required. But it's $30/mo for six months (not bad but remember your modem rental will probably add $7/mo) then it goes up to …
-
@Wanda: Please make sure ask them if it requires any "bundled services", rather than using the term "phone line". Also ask them for an estimate of the total monthly bill, including estimated taxes/fees, modem rental and any bundled services. (Extra …
-
And FYI Comcast has a 1.5M service that I just noticed (new?) called "Economy Internet" for $27/mo that will probably be cheaper than all the above. OPTION FOUR: $34/mo (+ installation?) $27/mo for Economy Internet + $7/mo to rent the modem
-
I love DSL and think for folks that don't need to torrent or watch ESPN3 via their Xbox360 all day 1.5M download is just fine but Qwest/CenturyLink's pricing structure is a rip off. If you want to do DSL only buy "internet basic service" from Qwest …
