the last dog office I was in there was the one good chill dog who was quiet and old and he'd sniff around under your desk occasionally and you'd pet him but 95% of the time he was sleeping and all was good then my boss at the time got a "jackerdoodle" [jack russell/poodle mix] puppy and it was the worst, in addition to it barking and being a spaz it would constantly harass the old chill dog and pick fights with it

Los Angeles and San Francisco are suing ride-sharing startup Uber for making misleading statements and breaking California law, the latest in a series of setbacks for the company. In a statement, the two cities' district attorneys say that Uber misled passengers about the effectiveness of its background checks, misrepresented fees for safety checks and airport tolls, operated in airports without permission, and did not get state approval for the system it used to calculate pricing. "Uber has refused to comply with straightforward California laws that protect consumers from fraud and harm," said district attorneys George Gascón and Jackie Lacey. "These companies can be innovative in the way they deliver services without ignoring the laws that protect the public."

I think pretty much anything built after the '70s could stand up to a 6.7 or 7, the 1989 quake got rid of most of the ones that couldn't something over 8 could still mess things up pretty bad though [glad my building is reinforced concrete built on bedrock]

Seattle police are searching for explosives at Amazon’s headquarters after a threatening letter was found at one of the company’s buildings just north of the city’s downtown district, authorities said on Monday. Amazon building security contacted Seattle police at 10:30 am after staff found a note inside a bathroom at one of the buildings that make up Amazon’s sprawling headquarters, police said, without disclosing the contents of the note. The exact building was not identified, but police said it was on the 400 block of Terry Avenue North, where the most prominent Amazon buildings are located. Police said some employees had been evacuated while arson and bomb squad teams, along with explosive detection dog teams, searched the area. Amazon did not return calls seeking comment. According to Seattle tech news site GeekWire, citing sources close to the situation, Amazon’s Day 1 South building was closed because of the threat and some employees had returned home to work. Day 1 South is at the center of Amazon’s headquarters in the South Lake Union neighborhood. The online retailer and cloud computing company is the biggest employer in the area, with thousands of staff in several buildings.

bassguitarhero posted:the whole area around UCSF, mostly the inner sunset, is starting to get a lot of notice precisely because it was mostly untouched by the gentrification hitting all the other major SF hoods. so of course everybody is trying to move to the inner sunset as a result well the main thing about almost everywhere west of Van Ness is the 40 foot height limit which assures density will never increase appreciably ever I lived on 9th near Judah for 5 years, it was a great neighborhood [eat at nanking road bistro]

Do you have too many friends? Do you absolutely hate when someone wants to hang out with you? Are you the kind of person who is far too important to field a text from each individual friend and would simply like to put a big "Do Not Disturb" sign on your life? Well get excited, because your new favorite app just hit the iPhone and it's ready to tell all your annoying acquaintances to bark up someone else's social tree. It's called Red/Green, and it's the quickest way to feel super important. The idea here is that you'll adopt a very binary way of approaching your social availability. No more "Anyone want to hang out later?" or "Let's go to the movies tomorrow" for you. It's all about the here and now. When you're busy -- which is all the time because you're awesome and super important -- you switch your status to red, which means "Go away I'm too busy for your weird friendship stuff." However, on the off chance that you're not jet-setting or taking your significant other (who is a model and also a movie star) out for dinner, you can set your status to green, to signal all your inadequate friends to come running like sheep to slaughter. Oh, you're on the outs with certain people in your social circle? No worries, because Red/Green lets you keep those grudges going by allowing only certain people to see that you're available for friendly interactions, while the rest of the plebeians will be given a big middle finger. Isn't the future wonderful?
