Weird. I lived off NE 28th and Glisan for 5 years and never had an issue with coverage in the area. There are definitely times I had no coverage, but those occasions were either camping in the woods or hunting ghost towns, not times I really want/ex…
T-mobile has been awesome for me. They have the best support in the biz, and their new plan/pricing structure is awesome. Unlimited data (ish, you get throttled after a few gb), no contracts, I've never had an issue with coverage, and their support …
I haven't been on any phone contract for about a decade. I've always been a late adopter, so I never paid full price for an iphone, and was always a gen (sometimes two) behind (right now I have a 5s). Being off contract used to hypothetically have a…
Apple is janky as fuck now, agreed. I have been 80% apple 20% other (still have a PC media center thing) and I'm so disappointed with Apple's crap build quality (was never that great but now is a joke) and prisoner upgrades. Working in web I have to…
I am feeling the Bern. I have a question though. I am all for a single payer system - I think it makes sense, but doesn't that mean that hundreds of thousands of people with jobs in Health insurance will be unemployed? I know some people would get j…
"As a first step, you can work with scrying on the surface of the mirror to look at things. A second step (once a certain expertise is acquired and verified) is to move through the mirror. And, of course, then there's shape shifting and disappeari…
That is a very honest review! I'm impressed. +1 to seeing a shrink, having someone to bounce your madness off of is so important. I've made a lot of progress on my addition to busy and mindfulness in general. If you want a referral, lmk.
In a few weeks I'm going to move in with my lady after about 10 years of more or less consistently living alone (a few stints of ladies living with me notwithstanding). Much of my thinking about the new year is about embracing this change, that fran…
Even with modern technology, it helps to plan your routes in advance in LA. LA freeways are insane and hard to navigate. Map Apps can get confused and not give you directions quick enough when you have to move four lanes within a quarter mile and ev…
I went a few weekends ago. If you like Art, the Broad is great - make your reservation now. The James Turrell piece at LACMA is a can't miss, but the rest of LACMA is kinda blerg. Museum of Jurassic Technology is fun. If you like a yummy booze, then…
I love Jessica Jones. I want to start the leftovers, but I don't trust the creator to run a cohesive story, and I don't want to invest in nonsense (lost).
I hate the gym, and just do pushups. I slipped a bit recently, but am back on my pushups routine. I do pushups three times a week, and play basketball on Sunday mornings. I also bike a bit, though a LOT less now that I work from home. Pushups are IM…
@YoursTruly, I suggest Canatonic for anyone who wants a mellow strain. That was my GF's "gateway" and now she's down with more stuff. I read somewhere that THC can engage the flight or fight response which is where "paranoia" can come in. Experience…
Corporate weed is the only thing I fear with legalization. I want that good stuff, not marlboro brand grass full of arsenic and crap. you know that will show up eventually.
This is touchy for me. My lease is up in twoish months and I am one of maybe 5 renters in the building left over from the new owner's pogrom/remodeling. My rent went up, but not too bad. My gf will also have a room open, but it seems a bit soon to m…
I am all about density, if I can afford it. I definitely dislike sprawl. Most of what I see going up is not in my price range though, and I am pretty middle class these days. I doubt I can afford the places coming in on Vancouver or Burnside, or the…

Ugly, but will get better no doubt...
