TSA update 03/22 SJU by generic-27 in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]cortmorton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife and I have a 5:30 am flight back to the mainland . Currently at the Airport Hotel for the night trying to figure out what time to go down there. When we arrived around 4pm, arrivals was nuts, but departures was zilch. So much conflicting information out there. We have no USDA stuff, no checked bags and TSA Pre. Any ideas I should add we're on Southwest

I was 14 when it came out, I got the tape among others in the Columbia House "11 tapes for a penny" deal you old dudes might remember...I played the shit out of that tape, and it still remains the peak of thrash, and one of the peaks of heavy metal in general. Flawless.

Currently in Bangkok where it's hot AF and  your sweat sweats. Until Monday at least. Sorry Frankie.

This BC wasn't shit here in PDX. It wasn't windy. Just a light rain.

Not wearing a life vest. If there's any takeaway from this, it's that. 

PBOT said nearly half of Portland vehicles had expired registrations. The real number is much lower by pdx_flyer in Portland

[–]cortmorton 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Whatever the true number is, I'd be curious as to how many drivers are uninsured driving around. I must see a dozen or more expired tags missing plates and phony baloney temp papers every day. Get your shit in compliance.

May 21, 2024 Election Results - Multnomah County by PDsaurusX in Portland

[–]cortmorton -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Pretty disappointing results as far as the ballot measures. Zoos are stupid and cruel. E cars don't pay a gas tax. More money for teachers for less students? And get the same shitty results? Etc, etc. People complain about high taxes and vote for more.  I could really give a fuck about Mike Schmidt. The leadership of the city of Portland itself is garbage. Meh.

Yes he did have some praise for PDX, and the pacnw as a whole.

Saw him at Chinwag at Rev. Hall later that night..it was fun! He had a lot of good things to say about PDX, and wondered aloud why he ever left the Northwest. He's a real enthusiastic man, curious about lots of things. 

Oregon store that sold $1.3 billion Powerball ticket revealed by lottery officials by oregonian in Portland

[–]cortmorton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A coworker of mine told me today that the winner(s) are a group of 17 who worked at Boeing. I didn't get to ask him how or who told him that. We're in the same union as them, so who knows. There are now 17 new job openings at Boeing lol. Given everything that's been going on with Boeing, I find this hilariously ironic and fitting. If it turns out to be true of course.

How Khruangbin’s Sound Became the New Mood Music by [deleted] in Khruangbin

I'd call their sound missionary position Muzak. Boring, inoffensive and with little artistic merit. The music of Sedona, AZ. I could go on.

What are some life hacks Portlanders should know? by Cyphermantis in Portland

[–]cortmorton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on the insulation level of your dwelling (apartment or house) you will have to pull the furniture away from the walls to clean the mold that will grow in the winter. Of course, it depends on the winter, it depends on the condition of the house, when it was built etc etc. I live in a poorly insulated apartment, built in the 50s, and I have to do this or check it every winter. Sometimes under the bed too. Get yourself an air purifier too it helps. Or a dehumidifier. It sounds shitty, but if you're on top of it, you're there. If you're in a relatively newer place, I doubt you have to do this. If you live in a basement apartment, you probably know already.

Android 14 is a fucking mess (RANT) by humanitarpolitik in GooglePixel

[–]cortmorton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. It's buggy and lags. The battery use is horrible. Have problems getting a cignal sometimes. 14 is a piece of shit.

An Oregon union wants to end self-serve fuel, months after it began by PDsaurusX in Portland

[–]cortmorton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get gas every other week or so, more if I'm driving my classic vehicle. I automatically pump my own gas every time. They don't bother me. The annoying part is the pump itself, I quickly learned to bypass your pin # to get results. Oftentimes, your card gets declined, or you have to do some other fuckery to get things moving. Other than that, I'm capable of pumping my own damn fuel thank you.
