Saw #EccaVandal at Holocene tonight and it was such a weird venue for live music. Less than half of the space in the venue had a direct view of the stage, so everyone was either crushed into the small room or watching through the doors. I'm sure she will get a much bigger venue next time in #Portland, considering how she sold out this show so far in advance.

10% seems like too much of a discount, unless the goal is to get rid of self-checkout machines completely.

However, as a bargaining strategy it is savvy opening move for a #democrat since stores might end up feeling lucky if they only end up needing to give a 3% discount.

That shimmer might show up better in a short clip with the camera moving slowly side to side.

I think I figured out why my #NestCamera is not working anymore. I guess it wasn't as suitable for the outdoors as it promised.

Anyone have a #SecurityCamera that they would recommend? #GoogleHome is fine these days, but surely there must be a better platform out there that is a bit more reliable and user friendly.

Got an intense call from a guy claiming to be from the #Multnomah County Sheriff's Office, saying I missed a grand jury summons. He had me going for a full 5 minutes with plausible sounding bureaucratic box-checking. Eventually he started talking about a trial underway, and I was like "I'm sorry, I thought you said this was a grand jury summons. Grand juries don't attend trials." He then threatened me with jail, and hung when I sounded skeptical.

And apparently this is a super common #scam?!
