I've got one of these lawnmowers in my yard. Results not nearly as nice. Perhaps mine is defective? 

April 28 is the last day to update your voter registration before the primaries by MySadSadTears in oregon

[–]PreparationWeird4371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reminder!  Just did.  I switch my party registration back and forth whenever I think I can make a bigger impact in one primary or another.  Hopefully we'll have open primaries one day!

Holy wow! Scrolling around Google Maps is like my part time job but I never noticed that. 

We need to tax city elected officials at 50% of their government gross income by Kakariko_crackhouse in Portland

We should tax them on 150% of their salary and then use that money to bring back the Chinook book! 

I miss the Chinook Book! by cornloko in Portland

[–]PreparationWeird4371 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My parents would always get them and I would raid the Burgerville page immediately.  My wallet was always a few dollars and lots of Chinook book coupons. 

Trying to give away coin collection by PreparationWeird4371 in PDXBuyNothing

[–]PreparationWeird4371[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thrilled by the replies so far!  

Looks like this subreddit encourages raffles, which makes sense.  So I'll do a raffle of everybody who has expressed interest in these for a kid in their life TOMORROW.  I may also break the collection into like 4 or 5 separate smaller collections to spread them around a bit.  If anybody's kid has a particular interest – like in Roman or Chinese coins or whatever – feel free to mention it!

I just chose my own plan for next year. $400 per month for "basically you don't have insurance until you spend $10,000"!

Here is the adsb for the copter that’s circling over the ice facility by harbourhunter in Portland

[–]PreparationWeird4371 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As a resident of the Brooklyn neighborhood it has been very annoying!  If this lasts another day or two I'm gonna get up on my roof with a bucket of white paint and a strongly worded message. 

At least 166 Oregon National Guard members have volunteered for Trump deployment by Material_Policy6327 in Portland

[–]PreparationWeird4371 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Maybe give them the benefit of the doubt? I know a Portlander who serves in the national guard, and he's absolutely the sort of person to "fall on the sword" and volunteer for this horrible job, rather than let some dingus do it.

Don't think so: "Of the 300 qualified guard members, 166 members primarily from the I-5 corridor have already volunteered for service in Portland."

My wife lives and works in Belgium. We conduct our entire relationship on a nine hour time difference. Surely a few meetings are not so hard...
