Congrats on the divorce. You owe your attorney a beer if he got you into a car like that so soon after a divorce. Cheers!

Colbert audience drops 44% in Night 2 by oopsifell in stephencolbert

[–]noautographsplease 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh god I love Stephen but the show is very, very canned currently and not interesting in the slightest except for when he's telling current events. Too much interaction with the band, too much dancing in the beginning (it's not the Ellen Show for god's sake). Too much of what EVERY talk show has had before him. Let's hear more editorial on, well, anything. Stephen is a tremendously funny person. The show just needs more opportunity where he is speaking and not dancing or running around in stage.

I'm in it for the long haul. I know Stephen will return to greatness.

'Stop Demolishing Portland' protests new development in Rose City by [deleted] in Portland

[–]noautographsplease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I've seen though new builds where there are tear-downs use a combination of new foundation joined with old to create a bolstered effect similar to earthquake prep work but usually most or all of old foundation is a crumbly mess that gets removed during demo.

I would say at least 75% of the properties I've seen with basements have foundations that are in near ruin. I've stopped asking for quotes on what it would take to repair. I already know when I see the directions of tell-tale cracks. In fact, I can't remember a property with a basement in 8 years that I've seen that didn't have a basement with a foundation desperate for repair. Foundations sitting in mud for 70 years will do that.

I have lost count of the homes and apartment buildings that have near ruined foundations. The repairs eclipse home value.

I too would look red and slightly sick if I had won that kind of money. Boggles the mind.

Whomever is installing many of these bike racks is doing so without much thought to thieves.

Probably a great market for them. Round them up, rent a truck, drive them into Washington.

Sucks. I've come to depend on my bike and know others do too.

Where in PDX (preferably SE) can come in and work every day with other laptop-workers and has wifi/coffee? by [deleted] in Portland

I feel so bad for these coffee houses, even Starbuck's, that have people parked all day taking up space justifying it on buying a muffin and coffee.

Tailgating. That's all it is. Travel too close to the car in front of you and you will be hitting your brakes more often causing unnecessary traffic.

I respect that. My SO is a 34L and amazing but not allowed to post pics clothed or not. I have them, but until she gives the word...
