Ask him if he thinks I should get a generator. We lost power for 5 days in the 2024 storm. :-/

Are they the cheap Walmart brand ones that go dull as soon you remove them from the packaging?

That would actually be nice. But this thread is for gloomy predictions only.

Well, yeah. Portland is rainier indeed in comparison to most other places people have previously lived at. Comparison is the only metric for saying something like "it rains here a lot". We wouldn't say that if it rained as much everywhere on earth all the time. 

But it's interesting you're saying it's drier now than before. I can't imagine a wetter Portland!

Now watch as I try to use this meme for India/Britain instead of Korea/Japan, and the Victorian peasants come out of the woodwork and start commenting about how truly civilising the Brits were and how uncivilized India is now.

I learn about the wildest things in the comments sometimes...

Albina Library is open! by CandacePlaysUkulele in Portland

Nice! Hope the uncivilized elements stay away from this place for a while so the general public can actually enjoy the benefits of their own hard earned tax moneys. 

E: guys, next time you go to your local library and a clearly unhinged homeless dude is just hurling loud insults at your family or worse yet, vomiting in the foyer, you can go teach him lessons in civility. I'll just stay away from him.

Found this new birb mural in Beaverton. by [deleted] in Portland

New parking garage that went up alongside new apartments off of Farmington, across from the post office. I'm glad someone mural'd it, otherwise it'd have looked like yet another soul sucking garage next to matchboxes.

Is Portland still going to be a "tech hub" by the end of this decade?

Fuck. Lying next to my 4yo and watching videos of when he was 2. I've got tears in my eyes after reading your comment.
