@TracketPacer So I just realized that if you play https://t.co/IORZCrYyjw on your computer speakers, and slowly increase the volume until you plug in the switch at around 1:47 (when Harold Faltermeyer's music score credit appears), then your coworkers will at least have warning.

@TracketPacer @jcoehoorn Not even if they're running routing protocols?

@TracketPacer Fun to try: 1) Turn off autonegotiation, set full duplex on 2 or more connected devices. Send traffic and watch collision counters skyrocket. 2) Turn on autonegotiation and the results should be much better -- but are they?

@Jonathan_Maus I suggest that "Signage and striping improvements" might be inadequate to make the Woodstock crossing safe and inviting.

@Jonathan_Maus @CoachBalto @BikePortland I noticed a long time ago that ebikes don't put as big a grin on my face as riding acoustic, so I do that about 80% of the time. My Rad Mission is still useful on windy days, when I'm tired, or when I need to arrive less sweaty.

@PDXRightofWay In Oregon, every intersection's corners terminate crosswalks, marked or not. Unmarked crosswalks are those crosswalks without markings.

@Jonathan_Maus @trimet @repblumenauer Good start, but I don't think $3M will cover a stairway and elevator on the West side of 82nd, will it?

@xkcdtitletext @xkcd Uh-oh. What is the metallicity of your cat?

@Jonathan_Maus I think that these are two phases of the same wave. Excusing carelessness makes people more reckless, but if 'everyone' is careless there is more need to defend the careless.

@cmeinsch Oh. That make sense. Thank you.

Okay, how are some of you getting @ mastodon.socal addresses ? It told me to pick a different server.

@AmericanFietser But it would come in a really well designed box.

@JH4PDX Doesn't everyone?

I would like for someone to please invent, "disposable microwave liners," that so I don't have to scrub last month's pasta sauce and is that FISH?

TFW you've got stuff to do but THERE ARE PICTURES of THE UNIVERSE on NASAs website!

@tinaintheburbs @maccoinnich I remember after SBQ, they told us that a bigger quake might have toppled the building, but it'd have fallen over in one piece. So maybe it only needed the first 3 floors upgraded?
