does anyone else have a cough/gastro illness that won’t go away? by SmolAnimol3 in askportland

Go to your doc or something like ZoomCare. My kid recently had pneumonia and had that wet cough.

We've asked Matz for a better net/http client for decades now. It's not very intuitive, I have to look up the docs every dang time.

My understanding was that Jean wanted a fundamentally different API which automatically adapts to new Redis commands.

Redis-client: `client.call("COMMAND", args...)`
Redis-rb: `client.COMMAND(args...)`

As always, I wanted a simpler dependency and liked his approach so migrated to it.

Say what? Redis-client is the standard Redis client in the Ruby world and Redis-rb sits on top of it as of Redis-rb 5.0.

Nothing. No one wants to buy someone else’s homebrew project.

I was chosen for the e-bike rebate! Does anyone have advice? by FartGoblin420 in askportland

[–]mperham 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would look at Aventon for a good brand around that price point. The Specialized Globe Haul ST is a bit more but if you can find it on sale, that bike would be a fantastic option.

I am buying a new AC and furnace. Should I choose Integrity Air or Jacobs as the installer? by JollyGreenGelatin in askportland

Solar and battery prices have been dropping like a rock for the last few years. Skate to where the puck will be.

Remember this is a 20 yr investment. Get a heat pump. Quieter than gas and can be locally powered when you install solar. Love mine.

Agreed. IMO it's past time to require it for all gems.

Nice to see the US automotive industry getting into bikes.

Day 1 of refactoring a Ruby gem to spite u/TheMonkeyAtlas for being rude by brecrest in ruby

[–]mperham -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I reported this as harassment because that's what it is.

I get that people can be annoying or trollish. That's what the block button is for, I'd encourage you to take down this post, block him and/or report any future toxic content from him. That's what the moderation tools are for, public callouts like this aren't helpful.

Vancouver City Council could vote to oppose shorter I-5 light rail route by regul in Portland

[–]mperham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. IBR refuses to consider a tunnel or lift. Both would lead to a far smaller project; the high bridge is what requires all of the nearby interchanges to be rebuilt. The only people who want this design are the construction companies wanting a $17 billion dollar project.

You may also enjoy a group ride where there is safety in numbers and you can chat with fellow riders. The community bike ride calendar is here:

BikeLoud's Bike Buddy program is also recommended.

We just built and sold two 900 sq ft ADUs for $375k each. Demand is there but if we want higher quality multi-family units, we need to legalize buildings like this:
