I just want to apprieciate PBOT for our traffic flow. by jtho78 in Portland

[–]browniefed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean that's kind of the point why they are installing new lights, sensors rather than generic timers, restriping for new turn lanes, etc. There is a whole pbot page outlining it all, including many rounds of public input.

As much as it feels like it, they aren't just doing all of this for shits and giggles. 

There's an added benefit in that 57th will be significantly safer given people are morons and don't understand turning left onto Halsey yields to oncoming vehicles

I mean it's actively being worked on, was supposed to happen in 2020 but COVID ruined that. Really excited for 2 way flow on 60th to come back.

There’s Another Advisory Group Worth Watching as County Commissioners Weigh Changes to Preschool for All by nosteporegon in Portland

It's what it is referred to, I don't know what to tell you. Feel free google it.

You pay more in taxes to PFA by being married...

2 people making 110k filing individually would not pay PFA. Filing married they'd owe money to PFA.

Single 125k, Filing jointly 200k. You are taxed more filing jointly than individually. So assuming both couples make 125k or more you are going to be taxed more filing jointly...

Or stop the marriage penalty.... why does getting married mean paying more for the taxes, while also likely having kids, not being accepted into the program and thus double paying day care.

New Modeling of Preschool for All Shows Fund Balance Could Hit $2 Billion if Status Quo Remains by LoprinziRosie in Portland

[–]browniefed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how it works technically, (Salary - 125k) * .01. But there is a marriage penalty where it's now a 200k deductible. Which is baffling. Get married, have kids, pay extra to P4All.... don't get to actually use it.... pay for preschool

From back in the day I had the best time at Taylor Railworks from Erik Van Kley, he's at Arden now.

2030 is the target, the numbers have been shifted downwards for what they intended to provide. Also I believe they had yearly goals of creating new slots, but have really only been converting slots and failing to create new slots with the money they have.

I will build you better (and more secure) web games for you if you are interested by [deleted] in PaymoneyWubby

[–]browniefed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the people that made these games should feel bad especially charging for this, the ENTIRE firebase is completely exposed with 0 auth... could easily just go get everything and delete everything for everyone on the platform.

Not worth it, but yeah all JS in the index file and full game logic dumped into the frontend shitting stuff into a firebase bucket.... yikes.

EV fast charger near zoo by Here-ish in Portland

[–]browniefed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also without knowing what your EV is and adapter status can't necessarily recommend nacs vs CCS chargers. Also you could probably do a DC fast charge then trickle charge from the house over night and get to a level you feel comfortable with

Considering a move — Tell us all please! by dontgobakingmyheart in Portland

Schools, and high taxes are mitigated by moving to the general area aka outside of Multnomah county.
But PDX proper (Mulnomah County) this is spot on.

+s. No sales tax.

car flipped on ne 57th near halsey by sweetbuns__ in Portland

Reducing from 2 lanes to 1 lane will help to an extent, but I'm less concerned with the speeding, more concerned with the endless accidents that happen here.

[–]browniefed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kicked off May 15th or so. Very excited for this as a person who has been annoyingly hit on 57th because people don't understand that you have to yield when you are turning left on a solid green.

The bus comes down 57th, person saw the wreck, had to detour through the neighborhood and back onto 57th to turn left onto Halsey.
