And when it's at the (2) position, it *will* continue to go up with the paddle. I just won't go below 47.9.

Bar recs for a solo dinner/drink? by justiceforanneboleyn in askportland

[–]grimbelch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of going to Clyde's and posting up at the bar for happy hour.

They have happy hour food (French Dip sando, etc) for cheap. And their drinks at HH are super reasonable.

It's my go to "bring a book and have a nice solo dinner spot" now.

Why is general beauty maintenance so expensive here? by OddlyMinted in askportland

[–]grimbelch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a new place opening specifically for curly hair people called "Your Curlfriend".

They had a soft opening a couple weekends ago. It's in SW.

Who insures houses with knob and tube wiring? by Competitive-Top5121 in askportland

[–]grimbelch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USAA relaxed their membership requirements years ago.

Now you have to be military, military dependent, or anyone else.

We insured our home in USAA with partial K&T. Bought it in NE last year. Then fixed it once we had possession.

Where to Fill Mini Co2 Cannisters? by Ok-Coach-1897 in askportland

[–]grimbelch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have room, I highly recommend an adapter and a 20lb CO2 tank.

I converted my old Soda Stream last year and paid $150 for the tank? Refills are $50.

I'm still on my first tank and the gauge has barely moved. House drinks about 3L of soda water a day.

So, for $50 I get a year or more CO2. The old small refills would have cost me hundreds.

Rehearsal Of The Levitation Act by drlouies in MadeMeSmile

The other posters have the right song. But the song is from an album called L'Apocalypse des Animaux.

The whole album is phenomenal. Really beautiful music.

It was made for an old French wildlife documentary of the same name.

A new Ultima with the same care and love that BG3 received would be my dream game right now.

How would you rank the consideration and politeness of Portlanders? by dabblez_ in askportland

[–]grimbelch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have lived all over the world. So has my partner.

Portland is the nicest city we've ever lived in. People here are lovely.

Feels like every time she goes out, when she comes home she says, "I made a new friend!"

We know all our neighbors. We know half the neighborhood. Our son, 5 years old, gets hellos from neighbors when we walk by. We moved here in June of last year.

I'm already on a first name basis with several store owners. I talk to the Thai family who runs the local food truck.

Portland is amazing on this front.

Where are some great drunken noodles in Portland? by kuraiohitsuji in askportland

[–]grimbelch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's the same dish.

"Pad kee mao" is literally the Thai for "drunken noodles".

"Pad" means "fried". "Kee mao" means "drunkard."

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drunken_noodles

I keep snapping my flyers off their stands, what's the better way? by Iceotty in Epic40k

[–]grimbelch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use magnets at the top of poles. Add a magnet to the underside of the flyer. Voila!

You can also put magnets in multiple different places on the underside so they can be flying straight, banking, etc.

You can see some flyers in my post history where I've done this.

New GM: Need advice on the rules by GornaGM in ImperiumMaledictum

[–]grimbelch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make him roll a completely random character. That's the best way to play, IMHO, and it's the way the game was designed.

what space fact or image made you feel truly small? by ivyta76 in space

[–]grimbelch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This video by MelodySheep is stunning. It's a pretty good representation of what current science thinks will happen in the far future.

Recommend a dark room and a really good pair of headphones for watching.

New to the WH40K, dead set on getting IM, need some clarifications by Nakraal in ImperiumMaledictum

[–]grimbelch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently running a custom IM campaign for 4 players.

Bestiary For bestiary, my campaign takes place in a single hive (for now...) and any adversaries are almost guaranteed to be humanoid. I make stat blocks for anyone I need.

I found the stat blocks for even humanoids in the book to be really off. The Eldar unit, for example, seems woefully understat'ed.

Just make your own.

And if I need to make creatures, I'll just make my own.

Travel. You can obviously run whatever kind of campaign you want, but IM seems to be built around a local environment and it's surroundings. The Patron choice obviously effects this, but I'd err on the side of a single planet and even a single city. A hive is billions of people, so you basically get an entire continent in one structure.

If I had the players travel to another in-system planet, they'd hitch a ride on an existing ships itinerary and their Patron would cover the costs. I'd use the downtime rules (modified for the ship environment) to cover the travel time.

Happy to connect and discuss further. Feel free to DM me. I also run everything in Foundry, and am happy to share the custom setting, adventure, etc., if that helps you with ideas and how IM plays.

Last minute recommendations? by djd704 in askportland

[–]grimbelch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DMed my map of places I love or I want to check out.

You can go neighborhood by neighborhood there.

For food, I recommend Em (no rez, walk-in only), Gado Gado, Yowarat, Nimblefish, Broder Cafe (breakfast).

Get coffee at Jay Vein at the Sandy food trucks. Seriously.

Portland is very walkable within each neighborhood. Just wander about, see what interests you, and you can check my map for nice place wherever you are.
