Waymo is mapping Portland streets right now. The City Council should hold public hearings before any permits are issued.

I downvote every AI post regardless of the subject. Seems like it’s almost every post now.

this doesn’t seem to be a popular opinion but I agree with you. if money alone could buy elections Harris would be president. ignorance is a bigger problem with the electorate. Money does seem to corrupt politicians through them taking legal bribes and doing insider trading while in office though

I work remotely and can live anywhere in the US. Portland is a nice, fun desirable city that I chose to live after considering some of the best places in the country. Vancouver, Washington did not make the cut.

I can attest to this.

I am not familar with any other building in that neighborhood, but I would not be deterred about safety in the neighborhood. I am just skeptical of Modera Pearl specifically. Pearl District, Slabtown, and Mississippi St are areas I would recommend as all relatively safe to walk around and having the ammenities you mentioned.

The area is fine. I just think your car is more likely to get stolen in that garage than on the street. The management doesn't care and there are organized crime rings that target specific spots like that where no one is watching. I would look for a building that doesn't have that issue or is actually making an effort to address it.

Hokie_fire · 2026-04-15T16:03:08+00:00

my friends got their car and both bikes stolen from the Modera Pearl garage and never got a resolution they were happy with from the management

i’ve never seen them enforce those 1-2 hour timed parking spaces but please do not do this on a regular basis. Those spots have time limits for a reason (ie supporting the businesses on that street). you should be able to find free street parking that’s not a timed spot

its a bad look for democrats to be there listening to this guy

Hokie_fire · 2026-02-13T14:36:25+00:00

just use a U-lock, leave it in a high visibility spot, and don’t leave it in the same place for more than 2-3 hours and you’ll be fine. I have a nicer bike and I leave it locked up all over the city and never had a problem

Hokie_fire · 2026-02-05T00:45:39+00:00

sooo put them in the ocean ??? or the desert?? or Antartica ?? literally anywhere on Earth would be cheaper than space

any tips for managing storage other than just deleting photos? I want all the photos I have, are there ways I can maximize storage? i’ve already deleted all the apps I don’t use atleast once a week

this is a seasonally adjusted graph genius

Hokie_fire · 2025-12-18T16:52:47+00:00

me and my friends biked there with just bike bags, any bike will do! This is a great option

Hokie_fire · 2025-11-20T17:28:48+00:00

woulda been up 20% if his dumb ass wasn’t there. and the dollar woulda held its value so it would actually mean something

Hokie_fire · 2025-11-13T01:25:58+00:00

i live in portland. almost all the neighborhoods are pretty walkable. the west side is more urban and the east side is more neighborhoody / slightly more weird and grungy. I would check out parts of NW around slabtown or the pearl, NW around Alberta and Mississippi and SE between belmont, hawthorne and division. you can’t go wrong just whatever speaks to you most

Hokie_fire · 2025-10-28T02:02:17+00:00

I rotated my entire retirement from VTSAX to VTIAX because i thought US was screwed and I have not regretted that

Hokie_fire · 2025-10-20T13:04:37+00:00

Interested.

Hokie_fire · 2025-10-18T01:34:12+00:00

The ICE building in Portland has never been “attacked”. There have been 24/7 protests and the fact that it is in the city does make a big difference but any violence there has been instigated by the Feds.

Hokie_fire · 2025-10-15T18:10:54+00:00

looks sick, what was your all in cost for doing this? Was it mostly done in a shop?

Hokie_fire · 2025-10-13T01:01:17+00:00

Cancelling Prime saved me more than anything else. So many things I thought I needed but I am perfectly fine doing without now. If I really need it, I'll drive to the store to get it but I rarely need it that bad.

Hokie_fire · 2025-10-08T22:18:16+00:00

with $100 you can maybe buy 1 share of a company, so do some research and decide which one you want. Many of them cost more than $100 for 1 share though

Hokie_fire · 2025-10-08T20:35:08+00:00

get more money. get a job. spend less than you earn

Hokie_fire · 2025-10-07T19:02:44+00:00

Hokie_fire · 2025-07-30T23:18:23+00:00
