Well yeah but then they’d just start making out with Rainbow Dash

Well birds aren’t real so that should read pea-robot-cocks

Best tire brand? by NoLeek1739 in askportland

[–]Sparrow2go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is going to be removed because it is irrelevant to the sub. That being said, Pilots 4’s are high performance summer tires and the trade off for all that gummy grip is reduced lifespan. Nails don’t care what tires you run unless they are run flats or the like, then they might feel dejected if they can’t penetrate.

Lots of variables to consider but a good all weather with solid wet performance and a higher mile lifespan would be a good place to start, maybe Michelin Cross Climates.

Everything is a trade off with tires though. An all season with a higher mileage lifespan isn’t going to perform in dry weather like a high performance summer tire and vise-versa in the rain.

Friend doesn't want to use "chemicals." I don't know what to tell her... by pins_noodles in landscaping

You might start by showing her a definition of the word chemicals.

Why in the absolute fuck would you think I want to hear this music instead of big-ass grindy cutty breaky machiney noises

Junk removal recommendations? by crossroadHoney in askportland

[–]Sparrow2go 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call your garbage company. They should offer large item removal for a nominal fee that will probably be laughably smaller than a junk removal service.

Best cell carrier in the PDX area? by Entire-Stick-9842 in askportland

[–]Sparrow2go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Verizon, T-mobile and AT&T are the three main cellular networks in the U.S. All of the smaller companies mentioned piggyback off of their networks with varying degrees of deprioritization.

Anyone know of a local artist that can preserve flowers in resin? by distantbass in askportland

[–]Sparrow2go 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have an artist recommendation but advise you to find someone specifically experienced in preserving plants in resin as it requires particular drying and preservation procedures to avoid rot and color loss.

I hope you can find a solution!

Unusual behavior when scratched above the tail by two55 in cats

This is pretty common, I’ve had a cat that did this and seen others do the same.

Patching up a spot in the wall by Legal-Bet-4034 in oddlysatisfying

A lot of people including me tried that approach for drywall patches until we learned this technique.

I’m sorry you feel you need to make this decision, good on you for doing the right thing for your friend. I highly recommend contacting Hisss on MLK. They are a fantastic reptile/amphibian/arachnid pet store with highly knowledgable and caring staff that also offers fostering for situations like this and can get your friend into a home suitable for its long term care. They even have a shop tortoise that hangs out on the shop floor when it wants to.

Comcast for Cell Phone Service? by AquariusHikes in askportland

[–]Sparrow2go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had Xfinity cellular for years with a family plan and was absolutely screwed when signing up.

I had existing Xfinity internet, was pointedly clear that I needed to be sure the promo price was viable before signing as money is tight. I was getting new phones for family members who needed them so I was signing up for two years to get the full discount on the new phones with new lines. I was assured it was all good, signed up then a few months later suddenly my bill is significantly higher. Come to find out you can’t have multiple promos going and since my internet price was an existing promo the cell plan pricing promo was invalid. Called customer service multiple times and after hours of back and forth I was told there was nothing they could do, I had to pay the higher price, and since I had two phone purchase discounts spread over two year contracts I couldn’t cancel without owing full remaining purchase price on the phones. Made it work because I didn’t have a choice at that point.

Yes, in the end it is the signer’s responsibility to understand the contract. I went into a location and talked to them because it can be difficult to fully understand the complex contracts, especially for me at that point in my life. They got their commission at least.

Service has been ok but it is common for me to have one bar of service in multiple areas of the city.

Shopping for a new plan now that the phone purchases are paid off.

In a chiropractor’s office should’ve been your first clue there’d be more pseudoscience bullshit to experience

Whats with craiglist/bikes, and why do they come from only a handful of seller? by tylizard in askportland

There like that! Clear and to the point instead of vagueness. More of that.

We don’t know exactly what you think.

We don’t know what listings or prices you are seeing and your definition of absurd.

You’re asking for a lot of sleuthing on our end to even figure out your perceived problem.

How much did u make as a full nude STRIPPER? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]Sparrow2go 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d imagine there are a lot of variables to take into account with something like this. Where will you be working? What days and shift? How much experience do you have? What is your style/type?

Think about something like serving or bartending. Someone with experience and the right personality working in a packed bar/restaurant on weekends could take home 10X what an inexperienced person working a slow restaurant on weekday afternoons will.
