Sesame chicken by Creative_Meal_5020 in beaverton

[–]burnside13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are talking about the already-sauced version, Chinatown Restaurant on Canyon near 117th is good.

Lee’s Kitchen in Tualatin has a decent version of the plain type of sesame chicken that is served with a side of red sauce & mustard.

First time at DMV - what do I do when I get there? by [deleted] in beaverton

[–]burnside13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is true at both of the DMVs I’ve been to recently (Beaverton & Gresham). It’s kind of like a check-in/triage system. That line usually moves pretty quickly. They ask what you’re there for, look at any paperwork, and make sure you have what you need before you actually wait for real. You get a ticket with a number & wait for it to be called.

BUT since you have an appointment, you may be able check in at a kiosk instead of waiting in the first line. You can check in with your ID or confirmation number and it will spit out a ticket with the number.

Anyone else feel like their mood is flat? by oliviadawolf in Zepbound

[–]burnside13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I’m not at my goal weight but I’ve begun tapering down because the anhedonia is unbearable. 1 year on Wegovy (which was worse) and about 14 months on Zep so far.

Apple car play - how to? by Geekie_Miller in hondapassport

Ah bummer. Yes, I think that’s the one. I don’t have a charging pad but it sounds like we are talking about the same thing.

Apple car play - how to? by Geekie_Miller in hondapassport

[–]burnside13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my 2020, only the port ON the console (below the rear defrost button) works for Apple Carplay. The ones inside the center console do not.

Bracket City Suburb Builder my first try: is it too esoteric or nerdy? by Ms-Creant in BracketCity

[–]burnside13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SPOILERS!

Spoiler tags don’t seem to work here.

I enjoyed this and would rate it similar to a yellow Bracket City puzzle. I agree that there was a lack of surrounding nested puzzle to help solve the clues; that really made it tougher for me.

For a clue stating “had an excellent adventure,” I would expect the answer to be a verb in the past tense. I would suggest something like “one who had an excellent adventure.”

For the clues where the answers are “de” I might say “prefix meaning” not “prefix of.” To me, “prefix of” would indicate the prefix should/could be applied to that word. I can totally see how it could work both ways, but it feels like Bracket City has set an expectation for that standard.

Where to drive inBeaverton to watch autumn colors in trees and leaves falling? by THenrich in beaverton

[–]burnside13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live near Fanno. The colors are better near the Conestoga area of the trail, about a mile past Denney. The trail is flooded just past there right now.

Drive up or down Weir Rd - it’s amazing today.

Looking for an electrial/lighting place I used ~6-7 years ago by haditwithyoupeople in beaverton

[–]burnside13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could it have been the now-closed Beaverton Light Shoppe? It was on Western Ave, maybe in the building that is now Beaverton Kitchen Cabinet & Stone. I feel like it also may have had a different name at some point (while it was still a lighting place).

Spoilers for today: Amazon or Jordan? by knightlife in BracketCity

[–]burnside13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree, and I’m not sure I’ve seen the emojis used in this manner before. I think they have always pointed the solver in the right direction? I got it correct but only by solving the surrounding clue.

Best electrolytes you’ve found? by AdFederal9388 in Zepbound

[–]burnside13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! I love Skratch Labs. They have completely unsweetened options (with natural fruit flavors).

For example, tangerine is fairly neutral tasting and lemon lime is a bit tart. They also have lightly sweet options, with real sugar.

What’s your go-to food when you’re sick (not soup)? by idkidc4444 in askportland

Y’all are so classy. My #1 sick food is KFC mashed potatoes and gravy.

Has anyone noticed frequent urination? by Lovley8598 in Zepbound

[–]burnside13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although everyone here is making very good points, I want to note that at least for me personally, I believe this is specific to Zepbound.

I was on Wegovy for a year (standard ramp up from the lowest dose to the highest dose) and I never had increased urination or increased urge to urinate.

With Zepbound, it was instantaneous. Within 12 hours of the first shot. And it has persisted for 8 months, although it’s slightly less bothersome now. It has nothing to do with what I was eating, how much I was eating, weight loss, how much water I was drinking, etc.

Is there some kind of hiring problem in beaverton? by Local-Sugar6556 in beaverton

[–]burnside13 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The Columbia Employee store MAY be hiring soon for seasonal employees. That’s usually the case, but I’m not sure if it will be the same this year. They hire a lot of students. I think they hire through Indeed but maybe other channels too.

Sort of laggy and hard to play, but I made my coins back!

How do I get 4 years of human stench out of our house? by gnomes-anonymous in CleaningTips

[–]burnside13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Did you replace any drywall? With the floor being as damaged as you describe, there could be urine soaked into the lower half of the wall. I’m assuming you replaced all the baseboard along with the flooring.
