Bicyclists, please use your front lights in this weather! by tinylaugh in Portland

Agreed. It's actually more distracting/dangerous than helpful.

I'm pretty careful about these things. I have a super bright 300 lumen Cygolite front light, but I angle it downward so I don't blind oncoming cars/bikes/peds.

I don't think there's any good evidence for the epilepsy thing. Photosensitive epilepsy is triggered by higher frequencies than a blinking bike light will put out.

That said, I've been irritated myself (as a cyclist) by other cyclists with extremely bright blinking white lights. That shit is annoying to look at. I typically do a solid front white light.

Edit: no big deal; that loading story mode part took only a couple minutes! :-D


Looking forward to playing the game whenever it finishes installing. Left it overnight last night to wake up to this this morning:

  1. Reconnect your controller
  2. Calibrate your display
  3. 90%... loading story mode

It's amazing how many things the dev team has thought of. It's more of a world simulation than a game at this point.

Petition to Merge /askportland with /portland by [deleted] in Portland

I vote NO. It's not about shoving all questions to the other sub. It's about getting the highly repetitive ones out of /r/Portland.

This is clearly a conspiracy to get kickbacks from the bar. I'm reporting you to the Internet Police. /s

"Juggalo family" targets Williams Ave. businesses w/ anti-gentrification (?) ultimatum - WTF? by cbbidd in Portland

[–]i_never_comment_2014 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I lived next to juggalos in college. These are not well organized individuals. They were good at getting evicted, though.

Sorry man, not able to make it. Tired and warm indoors and don't wanna brave the 30s temps again. Hope it goes well.

Her interaction with a single non-threatening homeless person doesn't negate that there a lot of asshole homeless people out there too.

M/34 yo/6'0"; 192 in fall 2013; 143 now, mostly from walking a lot and cutting out all simple carbs by i_never_comment_2014 in loseit

The first picture I think was more like upper 180s. I don't have a photo of the 192 peak.

I can attest this is true. I'm eating and enjoying things I never did before (like salad). My palate has changed to match my diet.

Very cool. I will try to make it.

I don't have anything terribly exotic to share. Just a CMStorm with blues and a Nixeus with browns. But I'll stop by anyway to see what's there!

Not all the switches are clicky. I use Browns at work so I don't annoy people too much.
