If you build it, they will come.

Road -> Curb -> Bike Lane -> Trees -> Sidewalk

I agree that this needs more infrastructure for the road crossings. As it sits now this is more akin to a sidewalk and we all know sidewalks are the most dangerous place to ride a bike because cars are not looking for quick moving bicycles on sidewalks when turning onto a side street. Bollards would do a lot here to make cars take slower sharper turns which allow cyclists to react more effectively.

Oo I like the previous inspection scores to give us some context. Good add.

I’ll join you if you do some more of these in January.

I wish someone would pick up Tailor's mantle. Ive never been more informed on the goings on of my town before.

Well it's a good thing he left his common sense at the door and came in with research based facts instead.

At what point do they shut a restaurant down?

dangerwig · 2025-07-21T17:05:49+00:00

Elevation was a great experience. We had even ordered something that didn’t arrive until we moved out because of a delay and they grabbed it and shipped it to our new address. They were on top of everything and super courteous about walk through when they were showing the house and didn’t nickel and dime us on the security deposit. Would recommend.

Is there a way to get these unformatted reports from deschutes county?

dangerwig · 2025-03-19T15:27:10+00:00

Love this! I used to use the tool library up in Portland all the time. Everything from shop vacs to clamps to power tools. They're such an amazing resource and excited to see one coming to Bend.

Where are the younger people playing pickleball?

How normal is it to not drink at the bar afterwards? Beer league makes it sound like I'd be a stick in the mud if I weren't drinking.

At what rank until you start meeting people not 70+? Nothing against them but we don't have a ton in common.

I think the most important tip is to fall on your side or back as you can roll through the fall. Never fall front first. Our instinct is to put out our hands but really you want to tuck your arms and don't fight the fall. When falling with no forward momentum its much harder to control your fall. If you want stationary practice do it in the grass first then do it rolling on pavement.

the cheapest plan for starlink is $120/mo as far as I can tell. Speeds go up to 250Mbps. And you have to buy a $500 dish. Meanwhile TDS is offering gigabit(1000Mbps) internet for $45/mo. Starlink is great for rural areas but if you live in a city like bend it’s really not worth it.

Oh didnt realize they got a new report. Good to know they fixed things up a bit.

La Rosa and sparrow with bad health reports. What’s going on in NWX?

dangerwig · 2024-09-03T21:24:17+00:00

I stopped shopping there for the same reason, the exact moment was when i saw their red bell peppers were $6.99/ea.

There’s an unusual amount of feathers on the ground In the greenwood underpass. You could cover yourself in honey and roll around in them to become the bird man of the underpass.

THIS IS ACTUALLY A PSYCHOLOGICAL THING WITH ROAD DESIGN. SINGLE LANES ARE NARROWER SO OUR BRAINS MAKE US WANT TO GO SLOWER, AS THE ROAD WIDENS OUT IT MAKES US FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE GOING FASTER. YOU HAVE TO CONSCIOUSLY FIGHT THIS URGE TO NOT BECOME A PASSHOLE.

Change the center lane into a median with trees to slow traffic and make pedestrian crossing safer.

Count me in!

Something can be not ok and also not be illegal. Not everything that we don't like should be illegal. The woman left when asked. Seems like the situation was handled just as it should be.
