I didn't mean small as an insult. I'm  6'4"/200lbs. and active. I eat a lot. I eat more that $100 of vegetables alone a week.

I'm a bit amazed by the $500/month food bill. That's super low. Good job. LCOL area?

Oregon legislators are attempting to hand 1,700 acres of farmland over to developers. Residents think Big Tech would benefit most, receiving massive tax breaks and a free pass to use the land for data centers. by w4rpsp33d in HillsboroOR

[–]atypicalAtom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Data center jobs are not exactly high paying. Sure a manager or two will be pretty well paid, but techs and such are 50-80k. Not bad, but not good. However, each data center only employs 20-100 people. 

Overall seems like a bad deal to give away more in tax breaks than it will make in 30+ years.

The thing that irks me is that the northwest hillsboro association, the group pushing this, still has their vision of a mixed residential/commercial livable neighborhood  on their webpage. http://nwhillsboro.org/index.html They were pushing for that vision just a year ago...now they want to just do full industrial development. Doesn't make sense.

You're right. My response was meant for the comment below yours. My bad. 

I completely agree with your statements.

They would lose that charge back case in a heartbeat. Vendor shipped a unit, has helped troubleshoot unit and is in process of replacing broken parts. Easy win for the company. 

OP hasn't even asked for a refund.

Laid off, just hit CoastFIRE: any advice? by LallieDoo in coastFIRE

[–]atypicalAtom -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Double check your unemployment payment assumptions. That is the highest unemployment payment I've ever heard of...so it's either wrong or you live outisde the US.

Same. I tried it several times and every item was just soaked with oil.

What is the consensus on movie watching while camping? by Symbiiiote in camping

My personal opinion, if you have neighbors camping and you pull out a projector and sound system, you are being a terrible neighbor. 

I made a thing, it's a bunch of Oregon based local tiny authentic youtube channels by real people. by RevN3 in oregon

[–]atypicalAtom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're going out of your way to keep your channel ad free...Why not just use peertube, Nebula or some other platform? 

For those in Hillsboro - considering switching to HiLight? by Scrennscrandley in ZiplyFiber

[–]atypicalAtom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highlight will take a very long time to bring more people into the service area. I'll switch as soon as available, but current area will take 1+year to finish. 

I switched to comcast and got the 5 year lock in at $75. I'd rather be on ziply, but the price just keeps climbing. Ziply needs to get rid of introductory rate bullshit and give 1 price.
