Intel is not having a good month. First it got passed over for a CHIPS Act deal. Then it got delisted from the Dow Jones Industrial Average, with NVIDIA taking its place. Mistake after mistake ever since Ottelini.
Update (3 November 2024): Politicians in Washington DC are now worried about Intel's health. Huh?
Another one leaves downtown Portland. Wells Fargo will leave their iconic building downtown, just like US Bank, Umpqua Bank and Unitus. Enough is enough.

Remember how Dems assured us that we aren't paying to support illegal immigrants. Yeah that was a lie. This has got to end.

The International Space Station is full of leaks, and it is now an emergency to evacuate personnel. Thank goodness we have NASA, huh? On second thought – calling Elon Musk.

This is strange. OHSU Board would rather have the newly-retired Steve Stadum as interim president than Nate Selden. Wonder what happened. Stadum is the guy that led the effort to build the tram. He's a good guy and it's a positive that he's back, but I suspect there's more to the story.
Update (3 November 2024): It appears that Nate Selden didn't want to be interim president. He only wanted a permanent job.
Multnomah County ambulances are now more available ever since they stopped listening to Jonathan Jui's recommendation. Glad someone overruled him. See? Things are running just fine.

Mission creep. Oregon Health Plan is now in the housing assistance business. What next? Big screen TVs? Vacations to Disneyland? If there's a health angle, no doubt they'll consider it.

Starlink has a satellite phone. And it has better coverage than Iridium or Intelsat phones, because there are way more Starlink satellites. It just need FCC approval to be sold to consumers. Me want.
