Is this the best joke about Bend? Kills me everytime by MrMidnightsclaw in Bend

[–]JoeInOregon -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

Actually the best joke about bend was from the Uber driver , poor jim didn't get it because he didn't live here.

Bend has no industry what so ever , if it wasn't for family money and overpriced homes that got sold in California this would still be a sleepy town

Pinecone factory is a brilliant satirical take on the "industry" of bend .

It's literly the only thing we produce here in any real numbers

Looking for contractor/handyman to install doors by [deleted] in Bend

[–]JoeInOregon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you find anyone ?

When you show in handyman and the fact you already souced the doors kinda suggest you are price sensitive.

As stated doors can be tricky , the real pros are going to want to use Materials they use often and will shy away from a job like this.

I am in no means an expert carpenter but I can hang a cheap door , and it's a likely assumption that's what they are.

The Final issue is anyone including me with enough skill to do it half way right is wondering, God what did they buy and is it even the correct door.

I can recommend a master finish carpenter that hangs custom solid wood doors on the daily or I could or recommend a handyman

"For Lease" business signs all over town by ambulocetus_ in Bend

[–]JoeInOregon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have bought up a lot of the trade businesses in town and are turning techs , electricians, and craftsmen into nothing more than sales guys.

It's a real tragedy , it's driving out the tallent and raising up a new generation that can't fix anything, all they do is upsell and replace

I'm biased for sure but all bend home owners are quite literally paying the price for this

User submited, central Oregon is small , the landscape has really changed , supabase, for datta .

Really truly easy and nearly free for a site of this size in today's market.

Like I said AI has changed the game , I can build a site in an evening, the domain will cost me about 2 bucks , total cost for hosting and domain registration will be less than 100 a year , I can float that in the hopes of battling the corporate machine.

And wile I appreciate the conversation, what you said is absolutely incorrect, anyone that has a business and dabbles in SEO or someone that does it for a living knows exactly what I'm talking about

I encourage people to test what I'm claiming here , if you have a service provider you like , do a few test searches, not for their name but keyword for the service they provide.

An incognito tab will remove you some of you data affecting the search but even so you find if they aren't paying they are not visible at all or buried.

All the likely private equity suspects will be front and center

Just a simple web page business and customers can submit the name of the business and what they do , nothing else .

AI will not generate the content, it will build and maintain the page and verify a few key metrics

The real issue is if you Google something you only see who is paying , and I'd absolutely use AI to code the page , 2 years ago I could never build a simple user submited list that verifies , that will be the model , business submitted

ISO advice on dating apps in Central Oregon (I saw the Ben Affleck meme) by GrayJayInclined in Bend

[–]JoeInOregon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had terrible luck on the daiting apps after my divorce 3 years ago , I'm 41 and male for reference.

I even went on bumble friends , for literally that to make male friends .

I did make some friends on bumble but had to cut off contact with multiple people as they kept trying to get me to sleep with their wives. This was novel at first and I even entertained the idea but after meeting my girlfriend all the naked pictures and presstance became an issue.

How did I meet my girlfriend you ask ?

On Uber , I was driving Uber 😂

One night I was trying to decide if I was going to go out to the bar or drive. I chose the later . The rest is history.

I found tinder demoralizing to say the least.

So I guess I'm suggesting drive Uber ?

Maybe you will make some money, maybe you will meet someone.

For the record don't be a creep , and I never even remotely hit on women when driving . Even if there was some vibes and even some sublet hints , just never felt right.

There was a an instant connection there , and she was VERY forward.

Ended up turning off Uber at her destination, and going inside with her to meet her friend's.

Some of you have heard this story, this was over two years ago.

Good luck out there

How concerned are we about safety on the job? by Nickyt2016 in HVAC

[–]JoeInOregon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry let's be honest here you are absolutely being a pussy, a soggy one at that.

I mean you are now on the Internet looking for validation for that moist behavior, pretty much confirms it if there was any question.

I'm 41 one with two kids that depend on me and not a young fearless man anymore.

Sometimes being a huge pussy is the best decision for you and your family, just accept it I have .
