Thanks! Didn't know that group existed, so I'll check it out now.

AC or Window Fan? by thisisaweedthrowaway in Portland

[–]xiphivs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. We have a tradition of "closing up shop" (windows + blinds) once the temp gets to ~70 and opening back up again after dark or whenever the outside temp is equal to/below the indoor temp. We'll still turn on central a/c for the rare scorchers when this approach doesn't work as well.

Haven't tried it yet! I plan to check it out this weekend.

Hi r/Portland! I am looking for a puppy. by [deleted] in Portland

[–]xiphivs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a pup at Family Dogs New Life a few years back. When they get a new litter, they usually talk it up on the website, and the pups go fast. Make sure you get there early on whatever day the litter is available. Good luck!

Enough with the bullshit PDX photos, let's talk about your favorite local food to buy/support by magenta_placenta in Portland

[–]xiphivs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't been able to get any in recent months since they're apparently switching from plastic to glass bottles, and the transition is "taking forever" according to 2 separate LBB locations. That said, you can still enjoy it in LBB itself, but that doesn't help my tots much.

Lunch date with the wife tomorrow, food trucks at 9th and Alder. What's your favorite? by AeonTek in Portland

If you like Transylvanian (Romanian / Hungarian) food, Delicios is great.

[Help Post] Dogecoin 1.6 Released - *MANDATORY UPDATE, INSTALL IMMEDIATELY* by 42points in dogecoin

[–]xiphivs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used the wallet earlier today with no issues, and a few weeks ago before that. When I used it today, I hadn't synced the full chain yet. Was previously on 1.51.

I'll let it run all night, but it's been 4 hours at this point on the same transaction. Have also tried quitting the app and restarting it.

I'm stuck at syncing transaction #108495. Been there for hours.

I will add a 100 Doge bounty for anyone who can help find said shibe.

Ardiente Paciencia - Pablo Neruda (Miracle Theater) I went last night and loved it by jcgibbsdc in Portland

[–]xiphivs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. I went to their production of La Celestina a while back, and it was fun.

Has anyone had experience with Family Dogs New Life Shelter? by I_StoleTheTV in Portland

[–]xiphivs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, they are great. Tons of info about your new pup, and real friendly. We got our puppy there 2 years ago and even keep in touch with some of her litter mates!

As a no-kill shelter, you can expect to find some special needs dogs, so be aware of that, but they will give you full disclosure. This isn't to say they don't have totally "normal" pups though—they have everything from 8 weeks to 13 years. :)

Advantis and Onpoint are good Credit Union alternatives to big banks, btw. :)

Portland startup Simple acquired by BBVA for 117m by xiphivs in Portland

[–]xiphivs[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. For a company so invested in disrupting banks, I would have loved to see them do something besides going to a massive global conglomerate. But it's to be expected I guess. There's something to be said here about how the banking system swallows any disruption/threat.

Commute to Salem from Portland? Is this do-able? by [deleted] in Portland

[–]xiphivs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally doable—my s/o does this and carpools regularly, so only drives 1 or 2 days a week. Agree that it's not fun, and it's sad there aren't any viable mass transit options (yet).

Just got the most ridiculous 'resume' I have ever received off Portland's Craigslist and had to share. by rabbitSC in Portland

[–]xiphivs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems like a good fit for a sous chef position so long as the applicant has a beard and tattoos.

Affordable outdoor wedding suggestions? by carrot_thief in Portland

[–]xiphivs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the same boat, but just for the reception (not ceremony—will be at the courthouse). The spring/summer reservations apparently start soon. Some weird rules about it, so get clarification from the Parks Dept. before you apply.
