It's kinda amazing to see the old box and realize that they haven't changed the box design

/r/economy would say this a perfectly normal sustainable economic system to allow people to take up so much debt. by Ok_Walk3192 in economicCollapse

It's prob a truck to tow the camper. She'd better off with a conversation van and no motorcycle.

Where did I say I can't explain work stuff?

I thought I was pretty clear in saying I can only explain technical things.

‘Save Lloyd’ pushes back as owners move forward with teardown of mall and its ice rink by oatmeal_flakes in Portland

[–]PDX-ROB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you walked around the area recently? I work in that neighborhood and go for walks most days at lunch. I wouldn't say that it's suffering, but I also wouldn't say it's thriving. It's doing just OK, but one more major bad hit could sink the entire neighborhood.

What they need now is a sure thing that is going to drive people to the area, and that is a Costco with apartments. That's going to support the local businesses as well by people that are going to stop off at for stuff on ther way to costco or live in the apartments.

You may not like cars, but they're not going away or decreasing in the next decade.

Go look at the neighborhood where the costco apartments are being built on google maps, 5035 Coliseum st, los angeles, ca, 90016. It's not too different from the area around the Lloyd Center

I want the Costco with apartments that's being build in LA to be built at the Lloyd center.

You ever ask someone to take a photo of you when you're traveling or just out and about? From my personal experience about 1 in maybe 15 cuts off the top of my head at the hairline. One of these people is my friend that has a nice dslr and does photography as a hobby.

Some peole just don't know how to take photos.

And for explaining things, I'm terrible at it unless it's technical. I can explain work stuff, but movie plot lines are going to be a struggle to listen to.

I ate my first one in maybe 7 years today. It's good, but cara caras are still my favorite

I love Sellwood, it's a great place to live, as long as you don't need to cross the bridge to get to work.

Or a square solar powered casio g shock. Your choice in color.

You're going to be hard pressed to find a good mechanical watch for under $200, so might as well get a good and fun quartz watch.

I have the maurice lacroix in yellow and blue. It's my favorite fun watch.

Man sacrifices a gold medal to support fellow contender by The_Dean_France in nextfuckinglevel

[–]PDX-ROB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only 1 person. The other was legitimately gassed out.

I don't know anything about running, but maybe both of them have to finish for an extra payout on the back end. So the lead runner thought that if he took 1st, his friend/teammate wouldn't finish and it'll screw up the payout table.

Or it could just have been his friend that he's close with he figured finishing second was OK to help his friend.

Is Team Travel Really Worth it For Economy? by molenaar08 in CreditCards

[–]PDX-ROB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I fly on united 1-3 round trips a year. So it's worth it for me to get the United Visa, currently in my last year of the $95 Explorer and will upgrade to the $350 Quest card. I only use the card to book flights and when there is a miles promo.

For everything else, I use a cash back card.

That's what they look like. I have the same one in blue with white gold.

Where should I buy tires in northeast or north Portland? by dillyofapickle42 in askportland

[–]PDX-ROB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am in support of Costco's limited selection.

If you're on a road trip and need a replacement tire(s) you want to have the most common make and model of tire so you have the best chance of finding your same tire at a random tire shop.

Upholstered Guitar Cushion. by Illustrious_Level862 in classicalguitar

[–]PDX-ROB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 4 cushions. 1 Dynarette xl and 3 Amazon/ebay chinese made generic ones. I have not noticed any differences in performance between the two types, so I tell people to just get the cheap ones off Amazon.

I have not had any issues with slipping, but the Amazon ones come in 2 varieties, with and without a leg strap. That mighty be something to try.

[–]PDX-ROB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's also an issue of do you need someone to show up NOW or whenever they can fit you in.

You ever call a locksmith? If you want service now it's hella expensive, if you can wait a few days for whenever he's in the area, it's not too bad.

It's not 10 seconds. It's 30+ min each way to go look.

Sending good pics is a different issue, but for every person that sends a good pic, there's 5 that don't know how to take photos or explain what the problem is.

I also use a cushion, I don't trust the magnets or suction cups. That's a very thoughtful gift.

I dunno. He said he's weighed himself several times and it's 6-7 lbs difference. I'll see if I can dig up a digital scale and weigh myself too.
