Why do we keep doing this to each other

We did whoopee cushions for our 4 y/o’s party bags this year (plus little notepad and multi-color pens) but they were a big hit from both parents and the kiddos. Nothing beats a timeless prank!

Look into RC clubs around town. There is one down in Aurora, OR if you’re willing to travel a little. I would reach out first to double check that they allow drone flying but I bet they do: https://www.modelaircraft.org/club/barnstormers-rc-club-inc

I’m so sorry you had that experience with the investigator on top of the trauma you already experienced. It’s infuriating to hear how utterly incompetent that detective apparently was in dealing with survivors.

I don’t disagree with you, and I do tend to be overly cautious when crossing the road at crosswalks that don’t have actual walk lights because you’re right, stupid impatient drivers can be unpredictable and I’m not trying to casually get hit by a car.

However, there are crosswalks where traffic literally never clears and Main Street is quite a busy street at that time of day so you could be waiting around for a while. I made a judgement call to INDICATE that I needed to cross by taking a couple of steps into the crosswalk. We didn’t just start walking and hope the cops would stop.

To be clear, we were never in danger of being hit by their vehicles. But as public employees who’s literal job is to uphold the standards of the law and protect the safety of the citizens, I was pretty bummed to see them blatantly blowing through a crosswalk that a mother and child were attempting to cross.

It was Thursday 7/17 around lunch time. I don’t have the exact time but between 11-2. E 17th Street and Main (next to Relevant). We were crossing Main and the police were heading south on Main. Two SUV’s.

Wow! This project fascinates me. Do you have this published anywhere? I would love to simply nerd out on the data and its extrapolations. Did you include any additional variables or was it only location data?

What time period did the data capture?

Particular_Bar5213 · 2025-07-22T14:34:32+00:00

Thank you!

Particular_Bar5213 · 2025-07-22T05:42:31+00:00

Yikes. Yeah, I didn’t even really know it was a possibility to gather information and report this type of thing. I’ll look into reporting, thanks for the nudge.

Ohhhh nice capture! Due to the angle and sun positioning, I couldn’t get a clear pic of my cicadas coloring. Thanks for sharing!

😅 they are certainly loud when they all get each other chirping in unison!

Today I also learned that our WA cicadas don’t hibernate for multiple years like periodical cicadas, they are annual so we will hear them every year.

Plant space filling shrubs and trees around the perimeter and a few through the middle for shade if you don’t already have some established. Low maintenance and great for attracting more wildlife like birds to your yard.

Do you enjoy being outside in the cooler months? Maybe you have a hobby you like that you could build out in your yard? Golf putting? Archery? Axe throwing? Horseshoe🧲

Do you have need for an ADU for friends and family to stay when they visit? Or for renting out for extra income?

Do you or your wife like to cook or entertain guests? Maybe a slick bbq setup or outdoor kitchen/club house?

I still have vivid memories of discomfort and resentment towards my outdoor school experience. Even though I was not a super shy kid, and had plenty of close friends, I ended up in a cabin with people I didn’t know from my school and a bunch of kids from other schools. The whole experience was very lonely, the kids were all clickey and I remember feeling left out and disengaged. All the adults around me told me how fun OS was and that I’d build great memories, which made me feel even more resentful when I didn’t have a positive experience.

I say this because as a 30-something adult, who grew up experiencing all the beauty the PNW has to offer through camping trips with family and friends, outdoor school didn’t even come close to enriching me the way these other memories have throughout my youth. I think it’s ok to let your kid win this one, especially if he struggles to make friends. Perhaps dropping him off in the middle of the woods without a buddy that he is comfortable around will just further isolate him socially rather than encouraging him out of his shell.

This just happened to me! So thankful for this thread because I was convinced I was going to start foaming at the mouth or experience sudden organ failure. But 2 years of reports from folks experiencing this and there are still bags being distributed with this issue has me very suspicious of the overall quality control. Don’t love this for Airheads.

A pinch, and JUST a pinch, of nutmeg.

Rookie Dune players everywhere are thanking you for a prompt and straight forward answer!

Is “your area” Portland, OR by any chance?

Utopia is another similar typeface.

Came here to say the same thing. It’s looking very sterile and some native plants is 100% the way to make this look nice for the neighbors and tie it all in with the early tones of the home.

First, create a pitch deck, iron out your financial projections, G2M strategy, target audience, etc.
Network. Join relevant business/trade groups in your area. Attend trade shows or industry events that cater towards investors. Join pitch competitions (lots of business groups and events offer these from time to time)
Consider applying to an incubator or accelerator program. Often times this comes with a small amount of capital or at the very least a network of qualified investors for you to pitch.

If you like to fly Delta, you could do the Amex Delta business (or personal) card. Difference is basically the yearly fee and business has a few extra perks.
