What better gift for Christmas than a $284 Bn electric bill?

She must have been doing a lot of bitcoin mining.
Seriously, even at $284 the actual bill, you wonder what she could be doing? Mine is always well under $100 a month. I suppose if she has an electric furnace it could be that high.
Don't get in a fight with a car while jaywalking. The driver is a criminal but she was a fool.

A lot of stupidity all in a very small area.
Do drivers have to stop for pedestrians no matter where they cross in Portland?

There is no jay-walking law in Oregon so you can cross most normal streets anywhere there is no traffic. Out of 'marked' or 'unmarked' crosswalks you must not impede traffic but a driver should stop (or move) to avoid hitting pedestrians failing to yield.
I'm glad to hear that common sense prevails in Oregon... at least on the traffic and pedestrian-wise way
I may have mentioned this once before. One day I was in Seattle downtown on a Sunday afternoon. Back then town was basically dead on a Sunday. No people, very little traffic. I was walking. I came to an intersection with a Don't Walk sign flashing. As you might do in Pittsburgh, I looked both ways for traffic and then just ignored the sign as there was not a car in sight.
Next hing I know a police car pulls up beside me with the officer eying me up. At first I thought it was my imagination but then he turned into the alley way I was about to cross. He asked to see my ID. I asked him why he was stopping me. He said, "you don't know"? I told him I had no idea. He told me I crossed against the light. I was dumbfounded. Apparently a pedestrian crossing against the light is some kind of major crime in Seattle.
He noticed I was from Pittsburgh and let me go on a warning because if I challenged the ticket they would have to pay for me to travel to Seattle to face the charges. Free trip to Seattle cool.
He told me he would be watching me. Wouldn't you know it, I got to the next intersection and there he was up the street watching. I guess he had nothing better to do that day.

A load of rock salt in the behind would have been too good for this Grinch.

A malfunction with one of the property’s transformers caused the outage about 11 a.m. and knocked out power to about a dozen rides between the two areas of the park, a Disneyland spokesperson said.
Those Decepticons are vicious.
This is the horror of horrors at Disneyland.

I don't think that was due to the power failure.
He had obviously had as near death experience and got a brief glimpse of what was in store for him in hell.
There are bad haircuts, and then there's this:
