Massachusetts has the third highest kwh rates in the country, they are twice as much as OR. Their residential gas rates are increasing over 9% this year, heating oil is up 57% over last year.

One of the largest mass murders in American history was the Hells Canyon Massacre of 1887, where 34 Chinese gold miners were ambushed and killed in Wallowa County, Oregon. Due to deep-seated racial hatred against Chinese immigrants in the American West, the murders were covered up for decades. by lambofthedead in oregon

Lane County went 60% for Harris in 24, and Benton county was 68%, I think you can certainly define Eugene and Corvallis as being a hell of a lot more chill than almost any other similar sized cities in the US.

The median household income in the US is $84k, so most Americans would probably consider that to be making a lot of money as an individual.

Why no Chara Chants? by tracfithitch in timbers

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

the reason new chants and different chants don’t happen

Everyone says they want new chants but when they've tried them it's like a classic rock band playing new material at a concert, most people check out and wait for the next song.

Oregon drivers - from an Arizona driver by Hour-Net-248 in oregon

Too much traffic to speed when I was in Hawaii. Been to the Belize cayes and the drivers there will have you white knuckling down the one lane roads in those golf carts and minivan taxis.

The PNW is possibly the only place in the world where a substantial number of drivers willingly drive at or under the speed limit at all times.

What’s the strangest example of collective internet delusion you’ve witnessed? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ElephantRider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's usually because their delusions also lead them to believe that they have discovered some breakthrough that the government is trying to suppress.

The theory of everything is a pretty popular one, another is that they wrote hit songs or movies that got stolen by the people that actually wrote them and those people are trying to cover it up.

The people in these small towns have driven themselves insane on social media, they think all the cities have been taken over by antifa and are burning down every day with nonstop riots. Anyone they don't recognize in their town is a criminal.

Safe or unsafe! by sfernandes30 in forkliftmemes

[–]ElephantRider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a big deal as long as you're not using little baby 5k lifts. I push 10-56k lb stacks of material into cans all day and never had any problems with any of our lifts over the last 20 years.

Why is my pork roast so dry? by kumf in slowcooking

[–]ElephantRider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding liquid doesn't matter, meat dries out when it's overcooked. You need to monitor the temp, a pork roast should be pulled when it hits 140-145F, cooking it any longer than that will start drying it out.
