People forget Portland went thru a very similar thing in 2020, people still think the entire downtown is a burned out hellscape as a result…

The NCPPR's Free Enterprise Project has lost its anti-DEI proposals in 2025 shareholder votes at Costco, Apple, John Deere, Disney, Goldman Sachs and Levi Strauss. Free Enterprise Project says it's the "premier opponent of the woke takeover of American corporate life and defender of true capitalism"

As an engineer, let me tell you, sometimes it is very helpful to have an intermediary to talk to the clients so I don’t have to.

In 2016, I was taking pictures of the anti gov protesters during the Bundy Malheur Occupation trial, and one day one of them had it, and I had to ask Twitter what this SUPER obscure sovereign citizen adjacent flag was…

Hillsboro Orchard Park has great Cherry Blossoms right now too, and is a lot less crowded.

As people are usually charging just to recover for their commutes, then it can be done mostly during non-peak times in the middle of the night, and the average max electricity need for the neighborhood might not change much, if at all. Even if everyone got EVs and charged only at home.

I think this is a huge aspect of where ‘slow’ L2 chargers need to be considered. Adding charging at 4hr+ parking for daily commuters at apartments or offices is way more feasible with lower specced charging that will be more than enough to handle most people’s commutes.

I remember when this was in a meeting room in the Portland Building before the remodel. Truly fascinating and impressive model.

Specifically here, it is extremely popular with the Capitalist large shareholders who primarily care about the stock making them a lot of money and little else, Because it makes good business sense. Diversity being morally good is just the ‘good optics’ cherry on top for them.

As you probably shouldn’t be punching anyone/anything until you recover from your surgery , may I suggest more frog content instead for the time being?

And that's the the crux of the problem. When my computer crashes, it stops working. When there's a render error, I can see it. Hell, if my heat stops working - my heat stopped working. LLMs appear to "work" all the time, and the failure mode is only experienced later as real-life consequences.

Of all the bad things you could have focused on with UnitedHealth, you focused on the company denying parents the opportunity to traumatize their children. If you think ABA therapy works, then you also think conversion therapy works. Because it is the same 'therapy'.

Family owned, but ‘small’ is a stretch. They have two other locations, which are both large for independent bookstores in their own right. Big enough that labor negotiations make the news. Powell’s is great for browsing a massive collection, but there are lots of true small bookstores in pdx too…

And plug ins with 25+ mile ranges can encourage L2 home charger installs. Because if your work commute uses most of your range and you want to run a errand after you get home and eat dinner, that hour of charging will net you enough on a 30a 240v service, but prob not on 110.

I have a rav4 prime, and will use public charging if it is free, but paid charging often costs more than using gas. But I will say plug in hybrids do encourage people charging while parked at work, which means using electricity when solar is working best.

Look, it is perfectly simple. Stellar’s Jays are blue jays. Blue Jays are blue, white, and black jays. Not to be confused with the Scrub Jay, which is a blue, white and grey jay. Couldn’t be any more logical.
