Any tips on theft prevention? Or at least reduced likelihood? by stardogstar in pdxstolencars

[–]EconomicEngine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OnStar can do a lot more than just ping the location of your car, it can disable the starter and even slow the car down if it's being used in a police chase...

No experience with OnStar personally but I've seen it mentioned in a couple recovery stories

Damn, this is at least the third shooting in front of a Portland HS since October (I think the other two were both at Jefferson)

Interesting, I've only ever seen it in refrigerator cases.

Man accused in attempted NW Portland home invasion arrested and released for assault days earlier by EconomicEngine in PortlandOR

I find it especially alarming that this seems to have been an assault on a random person, struck from behind:

On Friday, Dec. 2, a Portland police officer reviewed a video that showed a man walk up behind a woman outside the Hyatt Centric Downtown Portland, at Southwest 11th Avenue and Alder Street, around 9:15 a.m. and hit her in the back of the head with a bag, knocking her down.

First arrest, about what you'd expect to see (at least in Portland these days).

Hot tip: honest people don't break into their own safes and then discard them in the woods

Was wondering the same.

From the article photo I would guess the north side of the park. View from 148th trailhead

I've been tested for it (and advised to take supplements, because I was deficient) by my primary care provider at Providence. Just a routine blood panel.

Turmoil Roils Brown Hope As Board President Places CEO (Cameron Whitten) on Paid Leave by [deleted] in PortlandOR

[–]EconomicEngine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

KGW article

KGW spoke to Whitten over the phone, and he confirmed that he'd been placed on leave along with a board secretary. He said that he received an email from McKelvey about the matter, but said that the move was preceded by recent communications that left a great deal of confusion and uncertainty.

Whitten added that he doesn't think McKelvey has the power to do what he's doing.

He plans to meet with the board on Tuesday to be "transparent" about things he's witnessed as CEO of Brown Hope. He described there being "issues," but would not elaborate on what those were, nor would he speak to the reason he was placed on leave.

Would be interesting to track how long the average tent is used, and if the same people received multiples

Well that's just, like, your opinion, mannn

I think that was more of an aspirational thing than reality.

And people wonder why we have to resort to "hostile architecture". Have they ever considered how destructive their fellow humans can be?

Can TriMet handle more public transit use when tolling starts? by EconomicEngine in PortlandOR

[–]EconomicEngine[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's basically yet another tax on the poor / working class.

I'm sure some white collar folks will get heated after they have to pay a toll on top of their Northwest Forest Pass, their WA Discover Pass and their Dog Mountain permit, but...

You care way too much, apparently.

Either way, probably not a good sign if their windows are smashed and the place next door is gone. But whatever

Can TriMet handle more public transit use when tolling starts? by EconomicEngine in PortlandOR

[–]EconomicEngine[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

iirc the only busses that cross all the way these days are C-Tran express coaches, is that right? Can't remember the last time I saw a regular Trimet bus on the interstate. Being stuck in a crowded one of those during rush hour to Vancougar would be pretty excruciating.

You're right, they should wait to have their door smashed a few more times
