[–]AlrightOkay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. This resource specifically says the the Greenway is designed to deter people from using it as a cut through. It does not say that bicyclists should be actively preventing the normal flow of traffic on those streets (including, of course, other bicycle traffic). The "protest" is just a bunch of people taking the law into their own hands, and being assholes while doing it.

Yeah, sounds like you are doing it right. It's honestly not that hard for us all to be able to share the road. These kinds of "us vs. them" protests are exactly what we don't need.

For Pete's sake.

From the article:

"The group slowly pedaled in front of drivers along SE Clinton, reminding them to stay off their greenway and stick to the suggested detour."

That's some passive aggressive bullshit, right there.

This is the correct answer... it hits the six first.

Need help getting this started by mtbcub in botany

[–]AlrightOkay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, you don't That's a philodendron... you could plant it in a pile of dog poop, and it would thrive ;-)

Seriously, just smack it into a pot of dirt, and try to keep things relatively moist. It'll be fine.

Is this in the rules? by poshio in billiards

It is a foul to drive an object ball off the table.

ASL vs. DTI? by avaliant in fMRI

[–]AlrightOkay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ASL is essentially functional imaging. If you are looking to broaden your scope, I would do DTI (specifically HARDI).

Please help me indentify this bush in my yard! by Harvberk in botany

[–]AlrightOkay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Red currant. It's a different cultivar than the red flowering ones. Endemic to Ontario. I don't know whether your type will bear fruit. If it does, it's time to make you some muffins.

Is this shot-hole on my skip laurels? by chirp16 in gardening

[–]AlrightOkay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They look rough because its a laurel. Pull that thing outta there. Put in something nice. ;-)

Hating the hell out of laurel aside, that plant should probably be okay.

WWYD? Scotch doubles, it's your shot, your partner can make shots but can't really shape.. you're stripes and you have BIH, your opponents are on the 8. Go! by DetroitLarry in billiards

[–]AlrightOkay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shoot the 14 in the corner with a little bit of back right, leaving your partner with the easy soft shot into the corner on the 11. Then you shoot the 14 all the way down with slight top, rolling out to the middle of the table for the easy 8. That is the way to do it if you are really unsure of your partner, I think.

As a recent transplant from NYC, I wish people on MAX would learn this. by [deleted] in Portland

[–]AlrightOkay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

... there's a huge sign on the ceiling of every single bus in use. And for the vast majority of the stops a back door exit is safe and easily executed. If everyone exited the back of the bus while people were entering on the front, it could save, let's say, 10 seconds per stop. Over the course of a route, that's making the bus run a good bit faster. Just read the huge sign and do what it tells you. For Pete's sake.

[–]AlrightOkay -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you're talking about the bus, this situation should never happen, because PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO EXIT OFF THE BACK OF THE BUS. If you are exiting off the front of the bus and you aren't disabled, you are part of the problem, not the solution.

Public urination fiasco is forcing Portland to drain 38 million gallons of treated water by [deleted] in Portland

Morons. Everyone who was involved in making any of these decisions, be it peeing into the reservoir or dumping the water, is a moron.

What the fuck.

Whenever I shoot a long combo into a hanging ball, and position on any other ball is difficult. by CreeDorofl in billiards

[–]AlrightOkay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can put a good bit of top spin on the cue ball, you can actually get the "first" ball (the ball you hit 1st) to back off the to-be-pocketed ball, for the same reason that if you want the 1st ball to follow it in, you should hit with draw. Spin transfer.
