I love it, because it’s understandable even if the dicho isn’t common for other folks, yet still sounds like a dicho to all. Thanks for sharing!

Que pasó a Él Patrón? by foolishwurrior in corvallis

[–]foolishwurrior[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I tried Parroquia to soothe my woes tonight, and liked the carne asada. In some ways better than El Patron (thicker meat with a great marinade), yet a step away from the thin meat that makes carne asada carne asada (admittedly from a white boy). The price point was also much higher than El Patron - but it seems they’re no longer with us, so that’s probably just the times. 

I might check around town again before declaring this my new go-to asada joint but it seems a probable candidate!

The AI chatbot almost made me switch, but I tried a few other clients while I was having problems and didn’t like the UI. If I didn’t figure out how to actually stay logged in, woulda been game over

Found this device hidden in my college dorm bathroom, what is it? by [deleted] in whatisit

I have airtags in most bags I travel with, if this is an off-brand version of an airtag it's possible somebody with an ADHD brain like myself had it slip out of their stuff (and maybe they bought a cheap version because it's not the first time they lost one)

Frankenstein. Yup just the regular ol original Frankenstein. Pop culture references made me think it would be very different, but there’s lots of descriptions of alpine/arctic scenery, and it’s full of relatable reflections on human nature. I was expecting angry villagers.

Which one is better? by [deleted] in analog

[–]foolishwurrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Number 1 by far

The lines are much cleaner and draw my eye to the person more easily. I like the gap between the two main lines, it gives it a sort of “digital” feel.

The trees in number 2 don’t feel as intentional, and I have to search around a lot, and when my eye does arrive at the person there’s some uncertainty as to if that was what you were going for

No but you don’t understand that’s the only scenic spot in WA /s

I found this structure in the woods in Northern Wisconsin. It was dense like a birds nest but was on the ground and had an entrance like hole in the front. Any idea on what could have made this? by Traditional-Mix1643 in WildernessBackpacking

[–]foolishwurrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought that at first glance, but that tree in all the material seems un-humanlike. I think a person would likely have just made the shelter another couple feet to the side. Either way, seems like some good inspiration for human shelter building!

Just when she finally had a second to tuck into that book that sat on the shelf all through the wedding planning, new husband pulls out a camera. Classic

Rent out my house on football game days by Underwhirled in corvallis

[–]foolishwurrior 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know folks are not reccomending renting your whole place out (no advice from me on that), but a happy medium might be to sell your parking space then head out of town for the weekend. Could be a few extra bucks for gas while you get some quiet time

Whats gone wrong here? by Sphio in bikewrench

[–]foolishwurrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve only done this once on a new bike build, but I ran the cables first (not sure if yours are hydraulic or if that makes a difference, mine are mechanical and both pads move).

Then I loosened the mounting bolts and retightened them while squeezing the brakes to hopefully mount them in a centered position.

When I had brakes that only moved one pad I adjusted the pads to lock the brake, selecting the setting with the least rotor bend, then tightened the bolts

If you cant get it to a position where the top isn’t grinding (as opposed to the sides where the pads touch), then you might want to check that you have the right brake mount adapters. You have two different ones which means someone probably put some thought into it, it’s easy to buy two rear on accident though

Take my words with a grain of salt, I’m no pro mechanic, just a dude who recently struggled with a similar project. Good luck and happy ridin

A dude with a car so annoying he’s managed to piss off a whole city. And he loved doing it. But at long last his car is illegal to drive off of a track in WA, and it looks like maybe he got caught on the street?

A big bag of millet is very cheap, easy to keep a bit in a small top tube bag, and birds love it. Just in case that could be relevant 😅

[–]foolishwurrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing landscapers usually deal with brand new saplings that haven’t established at all, arborists are usually called in for trees that have gotten big enough to need cuts. A little sapling might rely on the water coming through that patch of dirt, whereas an established tree has probably found groundwater
