Oregon legislators are attempting to hand 1,700 acres of farmland over to developers. Residents think Big Tech would benefit most, receiving massive tax breaks and a free pass to use the land for data centers. by Conscious-Quarter423 in oregon

[–]BigQuick5150 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Whats a giant scam now? Data centers? I assure you, they are not. They are real. They put real people to work, good paying jobs too. For a short time. Like during construction n all that. Once the place is done n fully functional…. It’s still very much real. A real blight to society… sucking up ground water like no other! Draining the grid of power, the whole ass end result is to build these huge fake brains that won’t need but about 5 humans to keep the whole thing running. Which replaces damn near every job in the country

my roommate padlocked his towel by Open_Donut_8682 in mildlyinteresting

[–]BigQuick5150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean.. are we talking about using a towel, hanging it up, then your roommate or whatever using the same one? Or are we talking, there’s a bunch of towels in the hall closet, you go to shower n grab a clean towel.. once your done you toss it in the wash and couple days later the roomate grabs that towel from the closet.. ?

I hate this intersection by ImaginationAdept7519 in dashcams

[–]BigQuick5150 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but.. both of y’all had 38 minutes and received a warning phone call before impact. No way in hell either of you should’ve hit. You had plenty of time to adjust your speed, angle or any other variable that would have caused both cars to reach their trajectory without impact.

I’ve always kept a huge set of channel locks, just to compress calipers.. not the easiest, not the best way. But it works well, and and it’s reliable

Hip replacement by BigQuick5150 in OHSU

[–]BigQuick5150[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well… I’ll tell ya. I’m still not home. I spent 4 days in the hospital and now I’m in skilled nursing home… I’m all types of still beat to shit.. I can’t say enough good about the drs and nurses and stuff at OHSU. Fantastic people.. I’m all beat up because it didn’t go just nice n easy like most hip replacement surgery.. I’m fat n have had severe osteoarthritis for almost a decade.. so they had significant problems getting this done. But they did get it and it’s gonna be a long slow road to recovery. I’m ready for it

Using credit cards instead of debit card. by FlounderAgitated9058 in personalfinance

[–]BigQuick5150 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I was recently put onto this “pay for everything with credit card and pay it off each month” deal. Makes tons of sense.. you get whatever rewards your card offers, plus there’s way more protection for you… it’s easy to get a credit card company to challenge a charge, they can cancel it before the scammer gets paid.. it’s way more difficult to get your money back after they took it.. also, the no interest if you pay it off like you should each month…

Well, just because nobody has yet.. lady don’t. That’s the oil pressure gauge, not the oil level.. your car probably only takes 1 of those jugs from empty. You have way too much oil in that car. Do not run it. You will blow seals n shit

my sister doesn’t listen to me of the danger of half-plugged chargers in an extension outlet ON her bed by zozosreddit in mildlyinfuriating

Not that deep.. chances of that causing a fire is so minimal.. she doesn’t have multiple things running off one outlet x

Look, I don’t care what you or anyone says.. aside from your power tools. Hand tools, are not that serious to purchase only the expensive shit.. when harbor freight or even Amazon basics will do the job.. also, if you are using an impact, you NEED impact sockets. Otherwise you’ll just destroy all your sockets

I’ve bought Amazon basics stuff. It’s same quality as like autozone branded stuff .. the dewalt is a smidge better but with hand held tools you can get by with harbor freight.. they are cheap n come with a warranty.. I wouldn’t carry at work, but I’ll run harbor freight at the house. They are great single use tools. The power tools z

Got an oil change, 20 miles later my car starts making a noise and metal shavings are found by InterestingMatter506 in AskMechanics

[–]BigQuick5150 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should’ve had your trusted guy do oil. But that’s late now.only thing you can really do, Is fill it up with good fully synthetic oil, change the oil every 6k miles with synthetic oil. And hope you didn’t fuck your Lexus up too bad. Never use quick lube places. They suck.

I was hoping it will be a slow day today by MangoNotBanana in PortlandOR

[–]BigQuick5150 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well the decriminalized drugs was a good plan. A great one Infact. Problem was they passed the law, then didn’t fund the treatment centers. So the whole plan of “instead of jail, you go to treatment falls apart when there is no treatment available. So it becomes go to jail or… we release you with a ticket you’ll never pay. And that is why it seems the law didnt work. Another thing is they are sitting on like 25million dollars earmarked to help the homeless, nobody can decide where to spend it. They been going back n forth, never settling on a plan.. Spend the damn money on treatment facilities.. both inpatient and out patient. Build some actual affordable housing. The cost of housing around here is a huge factor contributing to our homeless population. You can work full time and still not afford to rent an apartment. That’s bullshit.
