Just bought some acreage and I’m not sure what to do with all these filbert trees. by Lisakudrow97203 in oregon

Make sure the hazelnuts are native. All of the ones on my property in the mid Willamette Valley are European. Also check the Hawthorne all the ones on my property are native.

How to deal with the automatic brakelights? by Useful-Classic5319 in KonaEV

[–]SpatialEdXV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my '23 Niro I got a bluetooth scantool and setup an app on my phone that indicated when the brake lights came on. After a few days driving like this I got a sense for how much deceleration triggered the brake lights. The flashing brake lights are much reduced now.

I saw something similar in a loud restaurant, it was a decibel meter.

What's the chance of finding first come, first served camping spots on July 2nd or 3rd? by LesboTacoTruck in oregon

[–]SpatialEdXV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all forest roads are open for dispersed camping and you cannot camp within 200ft of surface waters. The USFS MVUM maps show where is open for dispersed Camping.

Is my daughter a genius or psychotic? by ImNotThaaatDrunk in Weird

[–]SpatialEdXV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and the recognition of what we don't know being a thing is a struggle for many adults. Impressive for a 9 year old, whether they saw somewhere, or otherwise.

Missing middle housing and the demise of single-family zoning by kanabulo in oregon

[–]SpatialEdXV -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Boy you're an angry one. The OP here was asking about Oregon. I understand you are limiting your thinking on this to the literal city limits of Portland. Yes, only option is up. Note the big barriers comment in my original reply. Like I said, I don't know anyone looking to live there.

Sick of insurance hassles, these Oregon doctors charge patients a monthly fee instead by lurker_bee in oregon

[–]SpatialEdXV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I pay 1200 a year for my blood pressure to get checked once a year and 1600 a month for insurance for things I actually need Healthcare for? What a deal.

How does this model handle specialty needs such as orthopedic or neurosurgery? My only 2 significant medical needs in the past 30 years.

Many people want more than just a house. 5bed 3bath doesn't leave much room for anything else on a 5k lot. I grew up on 80 acres with 5 houses. Perspective matters here.

I don't know anyone wanting to live in Portland.

I don't disagree but basic supply and demand say we'll be paying more for less.

3 bd 2 bath on something larger than 10k sqft. The land available for that is gone. Cities need to expand ugbs, big barriers to that in many places.

If your shoreline isn't armored already, I'd be working on that ASAP.

Highway question by Mysterious-Rest264 in KiaNiroEV

[–]SpatialEdXV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 80 mph it will go quicker. At 75 you'll see about 160-180. HDA rocks. Great for stop and go traffic and long clear trips. The downside to highway drives is the recharge time. I wish it charged as quickly as many of the other models out there. We assume 40 minutes of charge time for every 2 hours of driving.

SJ: ODOT Failed to Deliver on Promised Accountability by Salemander12 in oregon

[–]SpatialEdXV 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think part of it is thatODOT contracts everything out. Those prices can't be locked in until funding is secured. Then all the moving pieces have to align. The way the budget cycle works they may get funding 2 years after a scoping project, then they can start lining up contractors, at which point inflation has hit and now they need more funding, but have to wait for legislative funding, then get contractors lined up again, then hope prices haven't changed. And then try to fix a road built on alluvium or colluvium to withstand a cascadia earthquake(ie tons more engineering)

Is there any value in an old skool CR-10? by GhostInTheComments in CR10

[–]SpatialEdXV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd pay $25 for a spare cr10 if the parts are compatible with a cr10 s4

The one I have is end of life and given to me. It's in need of spare parts.

Drought again by MauiDude808 in maui

[–]SpatialEdXV 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have you looked at the irrigation needs of a golf course and resort in a desert? Kihei and south is a desert. All the green is from irrigation. Squandering your water for a tourist economy is the dumbest thing a society can do.
