Any #hamradio operators in western Oregon? Just getting into #shortwave and was hoping to pick up on some single side band but haven’t had any luck yet.
One day the world will see plank flooring like we now view linoleum over hardwood. Can’t stand it, especially in gray.
Shake Shack really be like “Hey, go ahead and put in your own to-go order. That’ll be $50, how much would you like to tip?”
Single-use plastic is awful, but we have got to figure out a middle ground between paper and metal straws.
Snowing in #pdx. Full on wtf this a.m.
Why do refried beans smell exactly like wet dog food?
Wow, guess I’m done using #ivory. That was short lived.
In 5th grade, me and my classmates in Midland, Michigan were each assigned a state and were tasked with writing letters to their tourism departments requesting information. I got California and I remember clearly that they just sent me a huge envelope of brochures for out-of-the-way places. Still thinking about checking you out someday, Pismo Beach. Someday. #california #ca
Finally made it into the Chef Store for the first time and my eyes are at long last awakened to life’s glories.
Habitat ReStore will always be my happy place.
Will never understand people who do Zoom meetings and work calls at coffee shops. That should be a punishable offense. #RemoteWork
One positive about today is that I almost never see anyone smoking anymore. Maybe it’s just an Oregon thing, but when I do see someone light up, I do a double take because it’s so out of place.
When I was about 12, my parents took me and my two brothers to Niagara Falls. The cigarettes in Canada were quite a bit more expensive than in the U.S., so we drove over to Buffalo so they could buy a carton. It took me years to realize I hadn’t gone to New York City!
I dunno if the title of this article made me feel better or worse: “A 5 p.m. sunset is just around the corner for Portland” #pdx https://www.koin.com/weather/a-5-p-m-sunset-is-just-around-the-corner-for-portland/
Followed one conservative on the bird site this morning and within 10 seconds I saw a promoted tweet that was just the tailgate of a truck with the words “F#%^ Joe Biden and F%#^ You for Voting for Him”.
Every day while I’m standing at my standing desk.

Sometimes I have a really hard time not thinking that the entire hiring process for men is really just panelists thinking:
“Wow, he’s tall. He must know what he’s talking about. We should hire/promote him.”
I know, I’m jaded.
“But one problem with pinning everything on Elon is that it leaves open the possibility that maybe Twitter would be fine if the company was led by a different CEO who continued the Twitter API status quo. I don’t think so. Twitter wasn’t going to last forever because massive ad-based silos will always be at odds with the open web. Twitter’s recent implosion greatly accelerated what would need to happen regardless.” https://www.manton.org/2023/01/17/more-brief-thoughts.html
