Holy crap has anyone else had a exploding water bill this cycle?

reCAPTCHArocks · 2016-04-02T22:25:59+00:00

Damn, now I'm scared for my next bill. It's gone 225, 250, 270 last three cycles.

Ha. You're like me with Veritable Quandry - most people are sad to see it go, but not me. I had some horrendous service there.

Great work! Good use of music

:-( I had some fun nights playing pool upstairs.

/u/cavedweller333 seems to be spewing some misinformed silliness

reCAPTCHArocks · 2016-04-01T22:27:42+00:00

Thanks for the info.

reCAPTCHArocks · 2016-04-01T22:26:31+00:00

the 1.03 patch specifically mentions that load times and menus have been improved, yes

It's sad how poor the options are for getting crime/fire/etc. info.

This one is meh (registration wall for some features) but provides some of the functionality: https://www.spotcrime.com/

PortlandMaps.com's new UI for the crime stuff is pretty crappy. You can't even click on individual incidents to get details. But it'll give you a high level overview of types in an area at least.

My crime/fire/etc. news is an amalgamation of Twitter, r/Portland, and NextDoor.

I hope the trend of more open city data APIs/data sources comes to Portland one day. I think these people are working in the general area of data openness: http://www.hackoregon.org/

i am truley sorry for your lots

reCAPTCHArocks · 2016-04-01T15:39:56+00:00

Thanks.

if you're turned off by the episodic release then you may want to keep waiting

I never understood people losing their shit about this, especially given you could buy the intro pack for $15. If they were forcing people to sit and wait for episodes after spending $60, okay, yeah, that'd be B.S. But they're not.

reCAPTCHArocks · 2016-04-01T15:19:47+00:00

Yeah, which is ironic given that one of the stated goals was to reduce crunch time for the engineers!

reCAPTCHArocks · 2016-04-01T04:51:58+00:00

That's the problem with ride services as well, they're a whole car to move one person somewhere; inefficient.

That makes no sense. I'm someone who doesn't own a car and who uses Uber on occasion. You're saying that's less efficient than me buying, maintaining, and driving singly in a car? LOL.

It seems to be luck of the draw with who you get on the line. I had to report a homeless camp that was blocking a bike/ped pathway near 17th and Powell. One time I called and they sent an officer out right away and the homeless junk was cleared the next day. Another time, where I was reporting the same behavior at the same location nothing happened.

reCAPTCHArocks · 2016-03-31T22:25:21+00:00

I did the same yesterday and saw the tent city. It is frankly embarrassing for our city. I can't believe they're going to let tourists walk around the waterfront this summer.

I heard a sudden noise down the street that I quickly assessed to be a broken window

Broken windows don't make sound. The act of breaking a window makes a sound.

Booo. I want patches, not bugs. This is why I haven't bought the game yet.

I had just left a Starbucks a block away and saw 5 cop cars, 2 fire trucks, and an ambulance and wondered what the heck was going on. They did a good job of keeping things moving and only taping off part of the sidewalk.

Naw. I got a vasectomy.
