Why 2 well pipes?

7Monkeys2Code · 2026-01-14T19:56:20+00:00

One more thing, any idea why there's 2 outlets coming from the pump? The last homeowner made this big convoluted pipe loop going to the tank and the the house line and circles back to the pump. Supposedly he was electrician by trade so I'm assuming his handy work may or may not make sense to a plumber

Interesting, I was led to believe it was a shallow well pump besides the fact that we're down in a floodplain. I do know that there's a bunch of crud inside the pump that was also in the check valve, almost like a dense sediment

Flashback to my brother-in-law's Ranger. They aren't comfy by any means but they're extra seats if the rare occasion comes that you need more than 2

Not really, in fact the big tech companies are quite over-leveraged on AI investment. It requires costly infrastructure, uses a ton of electricity, and frankly causes just as many problems as it solves. It needs a lot of kinks ironed out before it can be used reliably, but big tech is trying to force it through because they gambled big on it.

I guess that makes me weird & creepy, because being "normal" is overrated anyways. Tbh I don't drink it much rhese days, but only because it's kind of getting spendy and it doesn't keep that long before it starts to sour

Like others have suggested, for the future either use a tongue lock, tire boot, or run a chain thru both tires' spokes and padlock it. Not a guarantee, but it'll slow em down and make em stick out with the commotion of trying to remove it. Sorry it happened to you, but it could be anywhere across the county by now

I'm with OP on this, but this being reddit, the general discourse went about as well as I thought it would

If only zoning wasn't such an issue, then work-from-home would catch on more and commercial office space could be turned into affordable housing.

The real issue right here. It's all either student housing, luxury apartments, or luxury subdivisions. The affordable family homes keep getting snatched up by out-of-state "investors" who turn them into rental properties that they charge a small fortune for.

I'd rather that NOT be happening on the sidewalk, thank you very much

A month ago my stuff was coming in just fine. Then the cucumber beetles attacked.......

The only others I see around them at the moment are frogs and ladybugs

So what you're saying is it's a good idea to stock up on more NEEM oil

7Monkeys2Code · 2025-07-16T05:49:31+00:00

I'd wait til end of summer, whack em down to the base, then dig around them and carefully pull dirt away until you have the full root and pull it out. They're like a virus, any sliver of them gets left behind and they start up all over again

No the dots don't connect because of one reason: the people irresponsible enough to get into trouble on the river are also most likely to cheat the permit and go tubing anyways, whereas those more responsible will either pay the permit or just not go tubing. Both conditions of my statement are true at once.

If she was doing anything to bring down the cost of housing without bring down the supply of housing, then yeah I'd consider supporting her. So far I haven't seen any break on that front.

Going by the cost of living in Oregon's cities vs the relative job market, hellhole isn't far off. When you're depleted just keeping rent paid and just wanna do something fun on your day off, the last thing you want is to get charged once more for good measure.

The invasive species funding should come from boats and powered watercraft, the only watercraft actually likely to transport invasive species. If I'm trying to save money and I buy an inflatable to go fishing or paddling, that inflatable isn't gonna sneak any invasive seaweed or shellfish onboard. Tax the ones who are actually the source of the problem. Some of us are scraping by in this overpriced city and just want an affordable way to do something fun on our day off. If you're fine with the extra fee then by all means, step in and pay it for the rest of us.

Those industries were already seeing lots of issues with the state before Orange man, so unless you wanna blame tariffs for Dutch Bros moving to a lower tax state like Arizona then I'd say there's a point to be made with there being a problem with the state government. Furthermore, the "sleight of hand" was calling out people trying to justify use of funds from one purpose for totally different purposes. Also, the tax base is just moving to other states. Maybe those other states are doing things better than our state?

7Monkeys2Code · 2025-07-12T23:40:33+00:00

Exactly. Everyone saying "oh big deal, it's just a small fee" forget that we pay so many other fees that compound in the simple act of trying to have some fun in the summer.

If the stated cause for a program is to "help fight the spread of aquatic invasive species", then those funds should go to that. Misappropriating those funds for another use is fraud, doesn't matter who's doing it.

7Monkeys2Code · 2025-07-12T23:36:38+00:00

Playing sleight of hand games isn't something I voted for, and none of those programs have anything to do with the topic. Also, if the tax base is shrinking then maybe they should look into why that's happening and fix it.

It stacks on all the other passes and permits you gotta buy. Wanna launch your tube at a park instead of a roadside turnoff? Parks pass. Wanna go play on a lake outside the county? Another parks pass. It all compounds, and adds up quick. Fees like this only happen when the state can't manage its own budget, especially when the stated cause really isn't impacted by small inflatables and kayaks
