The killer was the combo of the short leash + outside. He couldn't even curl up for warmth. Maybe I'm a softie but I wouldn't leave my dog outside in 50 degree weather without a dog house or some sort of bed/shelter unless it was at least a longhair…

"Tell them how you're going to make their life easier!" is great advice for applying for jobs in general. My goal in an interview is always to find out at least one problem they are having and help them fix it right there.

The only reason it woke me up is the early rumbling sounded just like recycling bins on our driveway outside my bedroom window and my brain was like "DUDE! WAKE UP! GARBAGE DAY!" Us Portlanders live in constant fear of missing the fortnightly garba…

What a looker! Hoover is going into surgery on Monday to remove some suspicious lumps on his leg, but as soon as he's back on his feet and cone-free we should get them together. Since this is a Vets-Pets thread I'll throw in a plug for Animal Medic…

Text or call me for a ride from SE. (phone number was here) I'll be leaving around 10 as I need to make a stop in the 'couv to pickup a ringer.

As with anything investment-related in the US, the system is rigged against you... The original intent of the 401k was to be part of a three-legged stool, along with SocSec and a pension. However the corporate world saw an opportunity to rid themse…

Chemicals already added to Portland drinking water: chlorine (disinfectant), ammonia (bonds to chlorine to make it more stable) and sodium hydroxide to increase the pH of the water to reduce corrosion of plumbing systems. So we are okay with riskin…

Yeah my 'No Soliciting' sign works wonders, we have had maybe one guy pretend not to see it in the month or so since it's been posted. I also have a 'Beware of Dog' sign sitting on my desk but I'm afraid it will freak out the neighbors and be bad ma…

TL;DR - Another SpireTech endorsement... I used SpireTech for years for both consumer DSL and co-located servers back in the old days before cheap cloud servers. They are very sharp and have some of the best rates in town. They are down with shared…

Anyone want to tag along to the Timbers game tonight? My family is bailing on me short notice and I got extra reserve seats, under cover and lower level, that probably won't sell on Craigslist/StubHub/etc. I'll trade them for a beer or some cart foo…

I'm using NewsBlur right now but I also like Old Reader. Feedly's background processes in the Chrome app freaked me out but I do like it.
