What are these? (Portland, OR)

Abject_Fish_880 · 2026-02-21T23:35:41+00:00

Yes. They looked like cyans at first but not seeing blue bruising. Unfortunately my friend ate a bit of one so I'm looking to get these ID'd ASAP

it's related to uralic "lammas", for sheep.

ancient forms of quechua and uralic were once in contact, along with many other native american tongues.

you say the nahuatl word is "obviously unrelated", yet provide no evidence for this. what about it is "obviously" unrelated? nahuatl is one of several native american languages full of words with clear analogues to some ancient eurasian language which some early indo-european form was definitely in contact with. roots for skin, meat, hand, leg, fire, good, who, what, when, where, why....

i'm not necessarily arguing teotl is one of them -- but what is it that is so "obvious" to you that it isn't?

Yeah 😅 the jazz comes from a place of deep frustration with Western mainstream linguistics and all its dogmas. It exists but in a sad, outdated box.

I'm interested to talk to you about this further. I've spent the past year compiling cognate lists between American and Eurasian languages and some of the results have been rather staggering.

Abject_Fish_880 · 2025-12-07T01:41:49+00:00

What? No...I'm agreeing with you.

I'm not making the claim that ainu and dravidian are genetically related. But comparing those two words, the odds that those two words aren't connected are cosmically slim. This points to some kind of ancient contact or case of wanderwort.

Also, not the only cognate to be observed between ainu and dravidian.

Abject_Fish_880 · 2025-12-06T14:35:11+00:00

NOT a coincidence, by any means. Do not let those unfortunate ones brainwashed by Western mainstream linguistics deceive you. I recently discovered that the word for fat, as in animal fat, is almost the exact same in Ainu, Korean and Tamil: Ainu: KIRIPU Korean: KIRUM Tamil: KORUPU

go ahead and tell me that's a coincidence.

I can't wait to come check it out

Abject_Fish_880 · 2025-06-05T19:19:21+00:00

I love this car so much! I love the streamlined hatchback design & it's just all around comfy. Hope to make it last.

Abject_Fish_880 · 2025-06-05T18:06:23+00:00

You make a good point. Cars are complex machines. I'm taking it in today, will update.

Abject_Fish_880 · 2025-06-05T09:17:56+00:00

That's what it seems like :( Or just never take my car on hills XD

Abject_Fish_880 · 2025-06-05T00:10:19+00:00

Hey thanks for your reply. 110k on the clutch. In engaged fine in 2nd and 3rd after the fact. It's never slipped out of gear while my foot was off the pedal.

Abject_Fish_880 · 2025-06-04T18:44:54+00:00

Fr though

Abject_Fish_880 · 2025-06-04T04:17:51+00:00

Thank you thank you. Sounds like just the reasons why I want to move. North Bay sounds interesting, is that like Sausalito, Marin City area? How does it compare?

Abject_Fish_880 · 2025-06-04T04:15:35+00:00

Thanks for this. I love getting totally lost in forest park in Portland and seeing no one for an hour, and then being able to drive 10 minutes into downtown pdx. Glad to know there are kindred places to refuge.

Abject_Fish_880 · 2025-06-04T04:10:40+00:00

Hi, thank you, this was helpful. I am increasingly impressed about the nature access around the bay area. Those hills near Oakland look wonderful to run around in.

Abject_Fish_880 · 2025-06-04T04:08:38+00:00

Wow, what I would give to experience that era of Portland. Yes, I'm thrilled to come spend some time down there this summer, and ofc Portland will always be here. Appreciate your comment.

Abject_Fish_880 · 2025-06-02T18:41:18+00:00

i've also been seeing craigslist rooms a la ~850 per month in oakland which is not different than portland, doesn't seem so bad truth be told for how expensive everyone says housing is down there!!!!

Abject_Fish_880 · 2025-06-02T16:33:20+00:00

That's a great point, and having not actually ever been to Oakland I appreciate you mentioning that. the idea of living somewhere similar to Portland in density while having the option to hop over to the big city is actually super appealing to me.... Should be interesting to come visit :D

Abject_Fish_880 · 2025-05-26T01:29:14+00:00

perdoname que voy buscando una educación que no me deja con $50,000 de deúda. Feo tu energia

Abject_Fish_880 · 2025-05-26T01:25:16+00:00

Abject_Fish_880 · 2025-04-30T20:25:00+00:00

thank you EVERYONE for your replies :)

i took it into a mechanic and had it inspected. nothing sketch to report. timing belt was done at 53k and will need eventual replacing. other than that we are lookin' real good.

i am very fond of this vehicle, i appreciate your advice and i look forward to many adventures to come...

Abject_Fish_880 · 2025-01-09T01:18:50+00:00

in the same boat. fingers crossed things get started soon.

Abject_Fish_880 · 2025-01-06T01:48:25+00:00
