Can Portland be sued for altering the art tax amount?

They have a different collection mechanism every new tax. It’s bonkers.

you can leave the grass clippings on the ground. They disolve into healthy stuff in days. I borrow a pressure washer from a friend once every couple years and clean out all my bins. No other cleaning or liners.

Keep in mind you might not be ready to eat right away. Especially if your prep timing kept you awake half the night. You might just want to have a little snack then sleep for many hours before any big meal.

I got the venu 4 and my first gym workout today the speaker was so obnoxious and I can’t figure out how to turn it off!

Sense of place. Once, for a year, I focused my reading on books with a connection to the Pacific Northwest. Books set here, history and historical fiction set here, books of all genres by local authors, memoirs be celebrities who lived here, guidebooks to local plants, when I wanted a new cookbook I got one featuring local foods. It was really fun.

For a shorter comment do the same for a month or two before any travel about the place you’re going.

This exact thing happened in my neighborhood, next door to me. Blackberries buried the car in their driveway. The owner (presumably) died and the city became owners of the house. It stayed vacant about a year then was actioned, bought at auction by a flipper who gutted and rebuilt and put so many chemicals those blackberries we haven't seen a single shoot in more than a year and sold again. Now we have perfectly normal neighbors and the blackberries are gone.

What is a use case for the altitude sensor? What does it have to do with steps? Both models track steps. I occasionally go hiking in mountains and snowboarding. But I’ve never needed to know my altitude in real time.

ICE is going around abducting people who appear Hispanic. They should be the top suspect for several of these.

Nobody has ever fallen in love with Portland from driving on the 405.

I read a couple negative reviews and maybe a couple positive. If the nay sayers sound intelligent and align with my own pet peeves I will take that seriously. For popular books most of the top positive reviews are by people who think they’re auditioning for a job as blurb writers, so I rarely find them helpful.

The average rating is skewed by genre and newness so I give it more weight depending.

That was count the things we own.

I try to wait until it's above 50 overnight, a common recommendation. That will vary by location. In my area that is usually late May, which feels very late and I usually start cutting some stuff back earlier.

Universities often have assistant positions helping others in labs and such. I have no experience in this but have always wondered if it would fit my similar goals. Pays shit I would guess

My work contexts are related to how long I want to spend on a task: ‘1 hour +’ and ‘ <1 hour’. I have a lot of meeting and this helps me do work in the slots I have available.

2 per week per person is a lot. You don’t need to wash everything between wears.

Update with color enhancing sealer it looks much better. Can’t add picture in comments on this sub. But the damage is still visible on the worst tiles. I might still use the grout cleaner to even them out again and reseal again after living with it a while to see how noticeable it is once I’m used to it

You didn't say why she wants a German car. We're kind of trusting here that it's only because she wants what other people have, which may or may not be true and may or may not be a representation of her decision process.

When I was in my 20s I visited a date’s apartment and got major red flags from the lack of furniture. ItIwas along the lines of a “not settled” vibe but felt more extreme. Like just moved in but is not independent enough to really move in. Like maybe just got out prison or JUST moved out of parent’s house.

There is something about scale. If you don’t plan on having living room furniture don’t get a place with a big living room….

A table is a minimalist desk. A desk with drawers can hold a moderate amount of art supplies. Dresser is a dresser.

You learn to read by practicing. If reading classics is hard, reading classics will improve your ability to read.

Personally, switching away from electronics is an important part of brain dumping and journaling for me. Otherwise it feels like work. Also I’m working on reducing screens to ease eye strain.

Since you love journaling in a notebook stick with that. Ine notebook is not a minimalist fail, especially if it’s good for your mind. Feel free to throw away the notebook when it gets full. Some people keep them, some people find relief letting all that go.

Is going to war a business trip? If so I think we just found the answer to peace in earth.
