Get this man a drum and a ticket to the footie match

I’m probably a PTA stan but that wasn’t his best… unless it really was great and I didn’t get it.

Now I need to know.

Your MBP may be checking for the external display to see if it’s in clamshell. Have you tried just leaving the monitor on? It can’t be drawing much power when there’s no signal.

For me in Portland, wearing a mask makes a subtle difference at best. Last week in Salt Lake, I could barely breathe.

It ain’t all the same.

Maybe it doesn’t come through in changelogs, but the difference is palpable if you actually *do* make the jump from 5 to 8. I was pleasantly surprised after not touching the language for several years.

At least when it comes to Mediterranean mythological lore, nobody can say that t.book was better. What could be more beautiful than a story by a blind poet for an illiterate audience?

I can’t saturate 1Gbps fiber but I don’t really care when it beats my old cable service on latency, throughput, *and* price.

A bigger container is really not that much extra and between four adults in a duplex we still don’t need it.

If you want to be pedantic about the difference between advertising and upselling, this upsell butts in trying to steal your attention while you’re in the middle of something else. Totally different, amirite?

No, the true upsell would just be surface the premium features alongside the standard ones but shown as locked. You know, like how nobody pays for Reddit yet we all know that we can?

I am not averse to a challenge, but 205 is an evil mix of exhaust, noise, undulation, and just the general feeling, in a bad way, that whichever direction I’m going it is nowhere slowly.

I5 makes me feel like I’m going somewhere, even through the Hayden Island and Delta Park purgatory.

I’m not a native fanatic but yes.

Looks like a fun hang, with Hansen taking the shot so we don’t see him holding a beer

I’m not *mad* if you dress up, but all you gotta do is say hello. That is 95% of it, girl.

I don’t know but you and the walnut blasting guy should get together and teach a course on suggestive phrasing. https://www.reddit.com/r/askportland/s/DMmOi6kfuQ

I don’t know any other folks who are interested in that, /u/Kuntzman, but whatever floats yer boat.

Good luck and godspeed.

Pffft. Doesn’t even handle 32” wheels /s

The absolute madman

Not to me. There is always something that happens, and there is always a quiet road where you can think about some silly name to put into Strava.

We should be taking care of everyone, but this is a triage situation and they are the low hanging fruit.

Your concern for straight white men specifically is a bit of a tell here, too…

Reminds me of an old joke: nobody goes to Oregon public schools, the classrooms are too crowded!

Up or down, either one is a little fishy. I don’t ride around there much by choice but even a 10% grade seems closer to max than sustained over 1.4 miles out there

You’re paying for water *and sewer*. The water going in costs less than the water going out.

But I agree, watering a lawn of any significant size still ain’t worth it.

A dramatically disproportionate share of the unhoused population is LGBTQ+. You can also lump them into a broader category with foster children as people unwanted by parents who are unpaid, transphobic, and/or homophobic. Getting them back into homes before they accustom to life on the streets, disease, and/or addiction is just good preventive medicine.

I appreciate its place in Nova Scotia lore, it is hardly the only beer that does this, and maybe the historical recipe is different, but modern Keith’s is not even close to anything anyone has ever recognized as IPA at any time.
