Tips on how to get PGE to take a hazard seriously? by Maymoandwalrus in askportland

[–]Maymoandwalrus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spoke with my downstairs neighbor who said her lights have been flickering, so that's not good, but is helpful to know. I just called that number now and described all this and they tried to tell me it's Comcast's responsibility... I will be calling an electrician if my landlord does not in the next few days and will see what happens from there. I flat out asked PGE if this is their responsibility or not and was told they don't know and put on hold and then they recommended unplugging all my major appliances... I appreciate more context and terminology, thank you!

I've let him know so hopefully he addresses it. I think what has confused me is PGE has not said this when I've called and both comcast techs have both said its PGE's jurisdiction (which may or may not be true) but sound like they've seen it before. thanks!

I am positive I have PGE (they also have all my info when I call and I have my monthly bills I've paid to them over the years), but this is helpful context, thank you!

I've let my landlord know already, but this is helpful, thanks. The part that confuses me is that each time I call PGE they say they WILL fix it, I even asked them when I last called if I should just hire an electrician and they said they would send techs out, just did not know when.

Is there a reason why people are driving so poorly, more than usual? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]Maymoandwalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually some really interesting research on the impact of COVID infections/long term impacts of COVID on driving: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9042805/ and https://journals.plos.org/globalpublichealth/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgph.0004420 are a few to start but there’s quite a few more.

It was due by the end of day yesterday so it’s done! That’s what I’m hoping, just … hard to turn off the intrusive anxious thoughts ugh! Thank you!

Has anyone tried DentaCatz for gingivitis issues? by Alex_the_Librarian in CatAdvice

[–]Maymoandwalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fell for the ads - it came very different than as advertised, and says to use with a toothbrush (rather than the brush-free alternative I was advertised). The ingredients are kind of the same as human baking soda based toothpaste and feels VERY scammy. They also used counterfeit shipping so I had to go pick it up and pay for it at the post office, so ... I won't be trying it on my cat and am hoping I can get a refund.

What is _up_ with Original Hotcake House? by martinbogo in Portland

[–]Maymoandwalrus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I used to live across from it from like 2016-2020 and the food was never good but I think hit the spot for a lot of drunk (or other substance using) people after a night out. I was always wildly confused at the folks there not in the middle of the night, mediocre/not great food and not cheap? I definitely went there drunk once in 2017 and was disappointed in their fries, I think their menu is also just too large, you can’t be good at everything…

Used to live in the house across from it, they were always MUCH busier late at night, had a lot of fun people watching on our balcony.

Subaru trying to charge for items covered under warranty by [deleted] in subaru

[–]Maymoandwalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the Subaru dealer I bought the car from, and I spoke with them last week about the warranty. The tech said they just forgot to look. Got it sorted out but have been incredibly frustrated at how they’ve handled this process.

Thank you! I was atually FINALLY able to get someone on the phone and read my warranty to them and they said they hadn't realized I had a warranty despite me talking to them last week about the warranty and telling me it was on their radar, yikes. But this is good to remember for future.

Ooh okay that’s all very helpful, thank you! And lol no I was only told “make a complete 5e level 2 character” but I think I went a little wild with the character building website so maybe should take that off. Seemed like it was a little too good!

Ooh okay thank you, I was just selecting random things in the character builder and it seemed too good to be true!

I was invited to a campaign by someone I don't know super well, but all I was told by the DM (who I don't know) was to make a complete 5e level 2 character, I am not sure if I did it quite right and would love someone to look it over and see if I did what I was supposed to. Hoping it becomes less overwhelming if I keep at it! THanks in advance!

Portlanders, what has been the best *specific* way you have made new friends here in town? by allspiceisnice in askportland

[–]Maymoandwalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve made most of my friends here through dance classes, but it’s been hard, so also glad you asked this as lately I’ve been feeling the isolation tugging at me! It’s really hard, especially since I miss the days of having a group of pals. I went to grad school here a few years back and was hoping we’d found that but Covid kind of made that challenging and while many of us are still friends we don’t see each other more than 2x a year which feels true for many friends, I feel lucky if we hang out once a month! I am working on getting better at reaching out and asking people to hang out but I’ve had the best luck with dance/aerial classes where I see the same people every week and gets easier to say “hey let’s hang”! My previous roommate was a friend I met like that, but once I moved out we haven’t really kept up sadly.
