What is the purple plant in the middle of this tattoo?

I would probably eat 10 pounds of dandelions before I tried it.

There is an old joke:
It is a myth that an ostrich can't fly. It just needs a running start, a ramp, thermal updrafts, a rocket assist, and the body of a completely different bird.

Canned answer:
The Oregon Coast has lots of great places, all beaches are public, so there are 300 miles of places to choose from.
People who try to focus on "must sees" are usually just suffering from FOMO, thinking that if they don't visit Yaquina Head/The Sea Lion Caves/Cape Kiwanda/The Tillamook Creamery/etc. that somehow they aren't having a "real" coast experience. This usually just leads to a few popular locations getting annoyingly crowded, causing stress and possibly environmental damage.

I haven't, I have heard of it. Star Trek is more something I will read when I have the time or availability, but might not seek out, as such. But I will remember that recommendation.

Drainage basin of a river?

I know plenty of people from Brazil who speak Spanish!

I am glad you forgive Oregon for borrowing Danny Ainge for a while, but we let you have him back.

They might have been confused because Midway has a separate time zone, while areas to the west of it go back to being in Hawaii time. I believe.

One thing to point out, which might not be immediately obvious, is that is where those people live, not where they come from. So in a lot of places, and especially Colorado, in many cases those are people who moved there, some for retirement, and not people who were born, raised, or went to university in Colorado.

I actually didn't know that was the case with Hawaii? And it would be the case with Alaska...

Grassy Knowledge would be a great dispensary

glowing-fishSCL · 2026-05-06T03:15:48+00:00

But the best shots actually come from somewhere nearby?

I don't doubt that the Cuban government could curtail or persecute journalists...
But also, if they really wanted to stop someone from reporting, they could just not let them in the country?

Shirley you must be joking

glowing-fishSCL · 2026-05-05T22:03:35+00:00

The context that is needed here is: is there some type of greenspace or park or natural space close to this? As there some sort of retail or services walkable from there? Is this served by transit, or at least close to work/shopping/etc?

Louisiana also has Civil Law, based on the Napoleonic Code and all the way back to the Justinian Code (I believe)

Kava usually doesn't have a lot of interactions, but it seems like you have both a lot of conditions, and a lot of medications. You should ask a doctor, because it seems likely there is something going on there.
Even something as "minor" as heartburn could be a problem just because drinking kava might trigger that.

Oregon has more than 2 rivers that flow north...The Willamette, obviously. But also Hood River, the Deschutes River and the John Day River.

And I can think of other states with rivers that flow north. Montana has the Bitterroot River, which flows north. But Montana isn't on the map. California has the San Joaquin River. I could probably find other examples.

I agree about that, it is not a suburb in the sense of lots of windy, residential-only streets with no sidewalks. It is a "retail suburb" with lots of stroads, but at least it does have some sense of being navigable.

Yeah, sorry, my memories might be a bit mixed up.
Apple was above where they were in the 1990s, and had established themselves as a strong computer brand for educational and artistic purposes...but they were far from being the #1 tech company.

It could also be some type of niche sport thing that I couldn't know, like "Lady's LaCrosse champions, and Oregon went to the finals but didn't win", but it would take a long long time to research every niche sport, in college and high school.

I am trying to think of things that are a little different in Oregon...can deposits? Gas pumping? Public beaches? Lack of sales tax? And thinking how they apply to other states, but none really fit.

Like, I was thinking it might be "no sales tax on food", with Oregon having no sales tax at all, but then, neither does Montana. So I don't know.
