are you that mainframe hacker guy?

I was talking to a co-worker (we are in the bay yearea but have none of the perks other companies offer other than high pay) who was bitching about the lack of free poo poo.

I told him he should be lucky we even offer a shuttle. I came from the east coast where you'd get laughed the gently caress out of the state if you worked at a large corp there (like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, Northrup Grumman, etc) and complained about the lack of a shuttle.

Some day those free shuttles will go away because investors will start questioning why google needs to subsidize 20/30 yo's living in the city lifestyles at the expense of their dividend and MAN I can't wait to read that bitchin at Google+

it's also the silver bullet that you shoot into your bay area landlord who doesn't allow pets (this is all of them)

up here they can say poo poo like no pets, but it's completely unenforceable and they can't kick you out for it

landlords can throw you out if you have a pet in a no pets place here in the states. I've had friends tearfully have to give up their pets or become homeless.

yes, but only if you're not renting a room from an on-site landlord that's a dwelling under a certain size

so it's totally legal if you're moving into an apartment complex but not if you're renting out some dude's spare bedroom who is allergic to/afraid of/dislikes dogs


this means that it's really popular in the bay area because dogs are A Thing and landlords here almost universally don't allow pets - the rare ones that do charge a premium on top of pet rent too

i can tell you from firsthand experience that it is literally impossible to rent in palo alto and menlo park if you have a pet that isn't also classified as a medical device


people also use it to get around size and breed restrictions

The passenger was allowed to bring the pig on board as an "emotional support animal" under Department of Transportation guidelines, a US Airways spokeswoman said.

Apparently, it was not meant to be. Before the plane took off, the passenger and her pig were kicked for being "disruptive," spokeswoman Laura Masvidal said.

How disruptive? Fellow passengers told the Hartford Courant that the big brown pig stank up the cabin of the tiny D.C.-bound aircraft and defecated in the aisle.

Phelps watched in amusement and horror as the pig began "dropping things" in the aisle while his owner stowed her belongings. When she tied him to the armrest and tried to clean up after him, he began to howl.

The City of Portland has filed suit against Uber Technologies Inc. in Multnomah County Circuit Court, after documenting that the California-based company started operating private-for hire transportation services in the city.

The lawsuit seeks declaratory relief that Uber is subject to and in violation of the City of Portland’s Private for Hire Transportation Regulations and Administrative Rules. The City’s lawsuit is asking for a declaration by the court that Uber is subject to the City’s regulations. The lawsuit also asks the Court to order Uber to stop operating in Portland until it is in compliance with the City’s safety, health and consumer protection rules.

Transportation Director Leah Treat on Monday morning issued a Cease and Desist Order to Uber. The order was cited in the lawsuit.

“I am hereby directing that Uber Technologies Inc…. or any other Uber affiliate entity immediately cease and desist operating within the City of Portland until such time as appropriate permits are obtained and Uber is in full compliance with the requirements of Portland City Code Chapter 16.40,” Treat wrote. “Please alert all Uber-affiliated drivers that they are to cease and desist.”

“Our main concern is public health and safety, because the state invested in the cities the responsibility to do that,” Mayor Charlie Hales said. “Beyond that, though, is the issue of fairness. Taxi cab companies follow rules on public health and safety. So do hotels and restaurants and construction companies and scores of other service providers. Because everyone agrees: good regulations make for a safer community. Uber disagrees, so we’re seeking a court injunction.”

City Commissioner Steve Novick, who oversees PBOT, said the City is prepared to issue civil and criminal penalties against Uber and its drivers for operating without required permits and inspections. The City of Portland requires permits for drivers and companies that offer taxi or executive sedan service within the city limits.

Dexter and Lulu came on board when my ex and I moved to SF from Minneapolis. We had to purchase 1st class tickets and they had to be in pet carriers. Dex and Lulu weren't too happy about it but it went ok.

I did a music video shoot at this house in Sacramento and they had a pet pig and it was a pain in the rear end trying to walk backwards while filming and then occasionally hearing the pig SQUEAL because I'd just stepped on its tail. Then I'd apologize to it and it would chill out because pigs are fuckin smart

From the folks over at KBON:
One night T-Nom walks into a bar with a pig. The bartender says " Hey T-Nom, long tome no see. Man, that's a great looking pig, but why does he have a wooden leg?"
T-Nom says, "Joe, I gotta tell you about this pig. He is one special pig. One night my house was on fire and he dragged me to safety. Saved my life."
The bartender says. "Wow, that's great. But why does he have a wooden leg?"
T-Nom continues, " One time I was out in the pirogue checking my trout lines and the boat flipped over. This pig swam me to safety. Saved my life."
The bartender says, "That's really terrific T-Nom, but why the wooden leg?"
T-Nom continues, "Joe, I have to tell you, really, this is a very special pig. Last week during a thunderstorm my roof collapsed and this pig run in and pulled me out. Saved my life."
Finally the bartender says, "T-Nom from what you are telling me, I have to agree, that IS one special pig. He saved you from a fire, an earthquake and from drowning. But WHY IN THE WORLD DOES HE HAVE A WOODEN LEG?"
T-Nom says, "Well Joe, when you have a pig this special, it's just not right to eat all of it at one time."
