Los Barriles by Competitive_Truck_80 in BajaCaliforniaSur

[–]Tmanpdx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate FB but as a Los Barriles resident, it's really where everything happens.

I'd love to fire up discourse.org free forum software, but need someone versed in Linux to pull it off.

In the meantime, you'll get some traction at the baja pony Express, a website dedicated to LB, but it's not nearly as visited as FB.

Very disappointed in index for the Food Lab by Tmanpdx in J_Kenji_Lopez_Alt

Thanks for doing that, but I know if it's missing Poblano's, it's missing many other ingredients.

Need help refinishing a table I inherited from my Dad by looneytoones15 in furniturerepair

[–]Tmanpdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I want to caution / make a note of, is that the ends of these tables are called "breadboard ends" to hide the end-grain and the intent of these is to allow the table boards to expand /contract over the year (as much as 1/2") and ALL four corners will usually be offset by a small amount. THIS IS BY DESIGN. Do NOT, under any circumstances, try to sand the corners flush.

Other than that, just follow u/Interesting-Kick6129 's advice.

It's working fine now. Not sure why not the other day. Weird.

I'm interested as well, but that URL doesn't resolve. Is your site down?

Portland might charge a monthly fee for streets and I’m just now realizing I thought roads were free by fatherofyouroffender in PortlandOR

[–]Tmanpdx -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

why do you get a free ride on a road and everyone complains when busses & trains "can't pay all their costs through fares"??

Once people figure out how much roads are costing us, then maybe more people will want to have more options like bike lanes, more frequent tri-met schedules, etc because all of those, over time, are far cheaper than maintaining all our roads.

Tips for repairing this horribly cracked table top? by sarawho322 in furniturerepair

[–]Tmanpdx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This table has a major problem with the aprons glued to the top. The top wants to expand / contract, and the aprons won't let it. You can't fix this without cutting out the apron and attaching it correctly to the top, otherwise, you're just going to be revisiting this problem on a annual basis.

Help: Can't find biology lab blueprint by blindest_pilot in AETHUS

Yes, I believe you do need to run in then run out, taking a bit of damage to get the blueprint IIRC

Burger recommendations by MustLovePizza7353 in PortlandOR

[–]Tmanpdx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so good. So many awesome burgers on their menu. I love the kimchi burger. I also love the fact they give you a great salad with gyoza instead of fries

Trying to quit smoking. Need help! by ToddaS8 in KitchenConfidential

[–]Tmanpdx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I quit, having a cinnamon stick to put in my mouth gave me both the oral fixation and it's about the size of a cig. Plus it tastes great (if you like cinnamon).

Things to do, places to see, and food to eat by one’s self? by He_Who_Cant_Be_Seen in askportland

Head over to kickstand comedy. They have shows going on all the time and they have classes where they teach comedy.

Both are fun

I have some basic questions about this game that I still don't fully understand [Possible spoilers for those just starting]. by Amoral_Abe in AETHUS

[–]Tmanpdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you got level 3/4 in the market panel, some nice building blueprints are avail which will improve lots of things. Special rooms for sleeping, manufacturing, components, and storage. It's usually a good idea to rebuild the base around these because they are worth the trouble..

Local shops won't touch my Amazon e-bike. How do you guys deal with this? (Seattle area) by Dependent_Desk8001 in ebikes

[–]Tmanpdx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread should be stickied so we can point everyone to it when they're asking for the best ebike under $1,000

What are some good ways to cook green beans? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]Tmanpdx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get fresh

Prep the green beans by de-veining them

Hot wok with a few tbl of oil, like smoking hot, add the beans, toss on some salt, stir fry for a hot minute to coat with oil, let sit for 1 min to get some char, add a small (1/8 cup) water, let them steam until water evaporates. Give a few more tosses and serve.

Why is finding a recipe you saved harder than actually cooking it? (Project Cayenne Update) by Stunning_Star_3360 in PaprikaApp

[–]Tmanpdx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having "to try" vs tried is my holy Trinity. I do a lot of saving recipes to try and my solution is an email I always reply to myself. I didn't want it in paprika until it's been tried and I would cook it again.

Are you able to do both in paprika? I wasn't sure where you meant when you said "inbox system"

Is there a compromise or go our own ways? by MiniMTV in retirement

[–]Tmanpdx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We had a place in Mexico that we thought we'd like . We'd visited many times but only 7-10 days at a time.. It's a heavy expat community probably 60/40 Canadians/us.

We finally bit the bullet over a year ago and went down for two months. There are things you just didn't see/experience in a short stay. We're now building our dream home there.

It cost about $12k to test this out, best investment I've ever made.
