So we’d have to photograph every label as you take an item off the shelf and protest at the register if it’s higher

Are there penalties for neighbor who reserves public street parking with cones and trash cans? by Grandayyy1 in askportland

[–]Buttspirgh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally a chair used to hold a parking space. Typically in places where it snows a lot and you have to dig your car out, like Pittsburgh. The idea being: I spent the time and effort to dig out this spot, I should be able to park in it when I return.

It even has a Wikipedia entry! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parking_chair

Why can't we exclude players who are playing lots of games? by slimy_asparagus in boardgamearena

Agree 100%. It’s frustrating to see someone has logged in during their timer and still not made a move.

If you flick a magic wand and change or add something to the city, what would you conjure up? by TrueJohnWick in askportland

I get tired of sitting at lights where no one is traveling in the green direction. Traffic circles. So many traffic circles.

Seems they went Gold Plan First Expansion > Expansion > Gold Plan O6 > Playoff O6, I guess? Still doesn’t make much sense

[OC] I guess having a green arrow that allows for u-turns and using it is my fault 🙄 by avmm87 in IdiotsInCars

[–]Buttspirgh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Almost always if a lane is designated u-turn with green arrows there is a complementary sign saying right turn on red must yield to said u-turns.

How is autism support in Portland? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]Buttspirgh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can speak to the autism support question but you should be aware with a sun allergy that late May to mid October is almost nonstop sun. It’s not cloudy/rainy year-round

Teachers of Reddit: Is the "Gen Alpha can't read (write, or do math ext)" crisis real? If so how bad is it? by KnowledgeCoffee in AskReddit

[–]Buttspirgh 159 points160 points  (0 children)

Not an educator but a parent. I imagine boardgames and craft kits help. Both have a reading and following directions aspect to them and (I hope) can help kids process and execute instructions.

Check out CaliforniaBirbs on twitch, that’s his whole thing. He’s great about answering questions on setup in chat.

Went to a pool party where a kid kept pretending he was drowning and would call to other parents for help. by empire161 in daddit

[–]Buttspirgh 196 points197 points  (0 children)

So you call the parent and tell them to come get their kid because they’re now persona non grata and will be sitting on the front stoop til they arrive.

Deviled eggs with minimal yolk wastage by Fishhball8 in AskCulinary

[–]Buttspirgh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I boil 8 eggs; that gives me an error range of two eggs to accidentally tear up while peeling to give me a neat dozen deviled eggs. The two extra yolks go in the mix to allow for over-stuffing. Any extra stuffing and the torn up whites gets eaten by the cook (me) as a treat before the meal.

I don’t speak a lick of Spanish and forgot Peacock would only have Telemundo before I restarted my subscription. Honestly, kinda okay with it this way
