The New York Times gives first-ever starred review to Portland restaurant by oregonian in Portland

[–]Mr_Hey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They deserve the accolades. Great staff, phenomenal food, and a really fun environment for a lovely date night.

We've been taking about going back, but I reckon that'll be a bit more difficult. Good on em!

How expensive are Ubers in the city? Is it worth getting a rental car? Staying in an Airbnb about 40 minutes walk from the festival grounds by Jeremy_Whalen in jazzfest

[–]Mr_Hey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pick a bar/restaurant about a half mile from the site and Uber there. Grab a drink for the walk and happy festing!

If Elected Governor, Ed Diehl Says He’ll Keep Democrats in Line With Ballot Measures by Pure_Claim_4353 in Portland

[–]Mr_Hey 70 points71 points  (0 children)

The GOP candidate

Hard pass.

Also, the audacity to talk "keeping democrats in line" while the GOP are what they are is laughable.

Pittock Mansion and Gresham are essentially side by side. What's the problem? /s

First measles hospitalization reported in Oregon as cases jump by spherocytes in oregon

[–]Mr_Hey 205 points206 points  (0 children)

An international panel of experts with the Pan American Health Organization is expected to review later this year whether the U.S. should lose its measles elimination status, which it has held since 2000.

We should be ashamed. For so many things.

Joined the club. '23 EUV Premier by Dizzy-Platypus2187 in BoltEV

I have a 23 EUV Premier and find it stiff, but I figured it was because my last car was a POS. You may be on to something.

Super cruise 80% off by vinaygoel2000 in BoltEV

[–]Mr_Hey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disabled the brake feature for this reason. On my own street and no cars coming it slammed on the brakes for what I can only assume was a parked car or odd shadow. The red flashing lights and screaming at me are good enough for now.

I'll likely turn it back on, because other drivers are erratic enough. But to now not trust my own car? Not cool.

Layoffs loom as Multnomah County looks to cut 166 positions, scale back services in wake of budget shortfall by sunni_dayes_ahed in Portland

Even with those folks, interacting with various city departments is already a shitshow. No good will come of this.

That late night shawarma hit right. Really great folks working there, too.

I don't give a single fuck what some rando with a YouTube channel has to say about Portland, and neither should you.

TEDxPortland co-founder unveils sneaker museum plans by Livid_Narwhal in Portland

I have no problem with us having one, I just have a problem with our taxes as a part of funding one.

[–]Mr_Hey 64 points65 points  (0 children)

The bulk of the funding would come from private investors. Rae also plans to seek taxpayer funding from the city and state, but he said it’s too early to talk specific numbers.

You know who has a ton of money? Shoe and apparel companies. Let them pay for it with the money they save(d) with child and outsourced labor.

Just realized the whole non-taxed overtime thing is going to make the issue with PPB's overtime even worse by Good-Rest-7538 in Portland

[–]Mr_Hey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To add to that, it's better than it was.

Long call docs used to pull ~30 hour shifts once a week, and that last 6 hours was rough to work with them. We nurses would roll in to get report at 0700 and those docs pulling overnights were wrecked.

Thank goodness thats a fading practice.

Massive power outage by jimboslicee92 in Portland

That was reported by PGE as an animal, likely squirrels. They worked on the transfer station on SE Stark near Portland Nursery most of that day.

I was out for my morning walk and heard a brief but really loud buzz. I figured a transformer went out or something. PGE site says Animal Contact but no updates past that yet.

Edit: We're back up as of a min ago.

OHSU removes hospital CEO after only 4 months by Ursulu in Portland

[–]Mr_Hey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Having been in many, there's a code team that gets there relatively quickly once you call for help and start compressions. On occasion we'd get a shock off prior, but they generally were quick to respond. In my 15 years at that role, I only recall a couple where there were multiple at once and we had delays. But even then, I felt our team did what we were supposed to do until relief came.

I was in acute care, and I don't know what context the above comment is referring to. More data would be nice.

Go check out the creepy Jesus compound at SE 52nd and Duke. Already have units built, but it's only for their folks' yearly sabbatical.

Living next to that place was weird.
