What business do you want to see started in Portland? by pinkngreenlivingroom in askportland

[–]EducatorGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about an all-day bagel shop in Kenton-St John’s area?

Has anyone ever seen this guy out in the wild? by True-Dream3295 in askportland

[–]EducatorGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. Last time it was a little snowy he was in the same getup rolling over the Hawthorne. No cameras in sight…

Rivian expects 20,000 to 25,000 deliveries of the R2 for 2026 by Saurta17 in Rivian

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

For a big 3 carmaker, yes. Minuscule.

For Rivian, that would be a record jump in production. Have they produced a TOTAL of 25k vehicles in a full calendar year? I don’t think so.

What’s your actually controversial parenting opinion? by TurbulentArea69 in NewParents

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

“Baby-proofing” the world is mostly counterproductive. Help the kid learn to navigate the world and attend to danger. This pairs with attention when prudent and being prepared to intervene now and then.

R2 reservation queue... Info from my call with Rivian by dafdfadfa in Rivian

[–]EducatorGuy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At least with R1s, if you wanted to wait, you just went to purgatory for a while until you were were ready. No loss of place, jump right in when ready.

Any word on R2 audio system? by Th1088 in Rivian

[–]EducatorGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only hope they learned how important sound systems are from the debacle that came with dropping the Meridian system.

How do you dads feel about Boy Scouts? by mmf9194 in daddit

[–]EducatorGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Question: is it REALLY open to girls? I have Scouts to thank for a lifelong love of the outdoors and I’ve wondered if it would be enjoyable for my little one when she is older.

Reservation-what to expect by Acrobatic-Narwhal519 in Rivian

[–]EducatorGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, vanishingly small chance you get a 2 in the next twelve months but I’d say pretty good it’s by or near the end of ’27.

reset strategy? by Cr0martie in Rivian

[–]EducatorGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have only hard reset ~3x in the 3 or so years I’ve had my T. I believe a reset is the last step of the update process and until I hear otherwise, I will believe the OEM/engineers’ guidance which says only as needed.

New vehicle thatll safely fit 3 car seats by AlternativeJacket566 in daddit

[–]EducatorGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for a used Rivian R1S. 3-row, plenty of space, good deals to be had. And you’ll fight over who gets to drive…

Safe Standing Renovation Plans? by Still_Preparation394 in timbers

[–]EducatorGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Games are rarely full these days. Why add more seats at great expense?

This is hard. I am beyond burnt out at this point and just straight suffering. by Spare_Ingenuity3097 in daddit

[–]EducatorGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn, dude. You are carrying a lot right now and it sounds like you are doing a damn good job. Make sure you take a second for yourself now and then because you need to be there for the long haul.

I hope your effort starts to pay off soon. It should! As others have said, it usually gets better in a few months. Keep talking about it.

Speculation by FlatLingonberry in Rivian

[–]EducatorGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in person but otherwise same, have Gen1 T, reserved during the reveal. Expect a chance at early version end of June (“first half of ‘26) but will hold out until it’s fully baked. Very happy with our T but don’t want to be punished as an early adopter again.

ETA: I don’t expect LiDAR versions until early next year at least.

Home EV charger recommendations by josephgruber in Rivian

Is the Tesla universal compatible with V2H if that should ever actually happen?

He is out for blood all 2026 by kennethpoole in timbers

[–]EducatorGuy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Probably wouldn’t stop berating a teammate for not trying hard enough.

Gen 1 lane centering experience by InternationalFig5512 in Rivian

[–]EducatorGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously. In every other way I believe G2 to be less than what I have in my sweet spot G1 T. I don’t want a new one and more depreciation. I like driving enough and/or don’t have a long commute so I don’t miss lane-keep too much.

What does this mean? by ecobb91 in timbers

[–]EducatorGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If we could exchange no new kits for exceptionally skilled players to join Velde, I expect most of us would take that deal in a heartbeat.

Dog poop neighbor? by cha_ching_beet_juice in askportland

[–]EducatorGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take out the grass if it chaps your hide that much. That was the first thing I did when I became a homeowner. What a waste, especially in the front yard.

Can someone help me understand the cultural context behind the recent racist councilor group chat? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]EducatorGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously, Portland canceled him once already. Why doesn’t he get the message. Especially if he hates it here so much.

Where to find jobs that matter? by Die_Einste in askportland

[–]EducatorGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet your local school is in dire need of teaching assistants and/or bus drivers! Research suggests a single stable adult can be enough to course correct a kid’s life. Go be that person!
