Portland City Commissioner Steve Novick's thoughts on Uber, via NYT...
I hope the City denies them their ultimate permit just because they went behind their back and did whatever they wanted to do anyway...even AFTER they were in talks with the City. You don't play by the rules, you don't get a permit. Negotiating and then opertating in bad faith is a moron's way to do bidniss.
Portland cabs are actually very good by cab standards, but they can take a long time to get if you're anywhere but downtown or the near eastside.
Actually, it's not.
Uber launched in Portland, Oregon on Friday, and like previous pushes into new cities, it knew full well that it was…
For those of you who think I'm kidding, I now direct you over to the Land Rover China website, which lists the starting price of a new Range Rover at approximately 2.8 million Yuan, or roughly $460,000. That's right: nearly half a million dollars for one stinkin' SUV. Take this same amount of money to, say, Fresno,…
It definitely is. Then again, Europeans buy Chrysler Sebrings, so their tastes cannot always be trusted.
I guess that's the best way to make sure you'll always have a running Range Rover.
Well, it's a car meant to save the world. Which it doesn't.
I fail to see how the Prius is not on this list...it's the only car that elicits impromptu lectures to total strangers from its owners....
All I hear is "blah blah blah." Yea, I still miss my first XJ. Yea, I'd love to go back and try and save it. Would it be worth it? Hell fucking no, that thing was more mangled than a beer can being used as a hockey puck all weekend in Canada and had almost 200k miles on it (60k or so mine).
As soon as I saw it, I figured MAGNETS not magic.
Then I realized, MAGNETS ARE MAGIC AND CANNOT BE EXPLAINED.
Impressive.
I have to be honest.. this story seems juicy with some possible sex stuff, cheating, douchbaggery phone snitching, blackmail and the like... I think I saw allegations of a private room strip club foracble titty sucking ...but I dont know who the fuck these people are
Good for John Hodgman. Fuck Uber. They've made San Francisco extra intolerable right now. Ashton Kutcher, sit down and shut the fuck up.
Basically, don't treat private sellers like a dealership salesperson. Not only because private sellers are human beings, but because at some point they will tell you to go away. You can't abuse private individuals like you might a dealership salesperson.
Sortland had a blanket, a cell phone and a box of Wheat Thins with him.
It was probably just a lot of, "Phone call for Junior Ficker!" and "What do you think of that, Son!"
In other words, change your location to trick your driver into risking a major fine. Great going, jerk.
