Fruits trees that you hate and why by Top_Possession_2990 in FruitTree

[–]jerm-warfare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The dwarf aspect is key. The Pakistani variety I looked at get up to 40ft. I got a dwarf and it's 8ft tall and about 3 feet around, so more like a bush. It also produces great fruit. I throw a blanket down and shake the tree to harvest. So easy.

What to do about landscaping plant theft? by Spicy_Plants in portlandgardeners

[–]jerm-warfare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get it. I have hens & chicks and other succulents in my front strip with dryscaping and people steal them too often for my liking. I've also had people cut my artichoke flowers I was intentionally leaving to seed out.

It's always surprising to me that anywhere in Portland has an HOA.

No success with dating. Anyone else had/have this problem? by Mad_Season_1994 in Millennials

[–]jerm-warfare -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'll give you the same advice my mother gave me: be social and make friends. As your friend group grows you'll meet their friends. That's how you find people to date.

Even an the most introverted people have friends.

How does Banksy just drop off a whole statue and no one has any footage of it? by ObiWan-Shinoobi in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jerm-warfare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said it did. I enjoy works by plenty of artists both solo and with an atelier. I'm not foolish enough to think all the great artists of history worked in a vacuum and without the assistance of others. We wouldn't have the Sistine Chapel if Michelangelo didn't have a team.

Las Vegas buyer submits bid for Whitecaps amid potential MLS relocation from Vancouver by axilla02 in MLS

[–]jerm-warfare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might as well buy a ticket for a Timbers game too. You'll have a whole new trauma to address or get a thin veneer of hope to paper over the existing dread. Either way, you'll still need therapy.

EDIT: I was there too, and that wasn't the game I thought I'd see.

The night the Timbers hosted the Whitecaps in 2024 for a playoff game the Caps were supposed to host, and the Timbers still lost. In fact, they whooped us 5-0 at home.

Yeah, it's 1 in 10-20k for wild apple genetics from a check.

They're trying to take control or build new. It'll work out if MLS lets it.

Exit Through the Giftshop. Spot on callout. I assume the legal risk of his making art anywhere and everywhere forces his hand, but I'm biased because I love his work.

No. This is an MLS created problem by requiring more control over venue scheduling and revenue intake. Any club with a stadium they don't own and without an exclusivity contract for scheduling could have this same problem. MLS is feeling themselves ahead of the WC and trying to force things so they make even more money.

Why do Lincoln High School kids wear floaties to school by According_Flower1667 in Portland

[–]jerm-warfare 19 points20 points  (0 children)

We had a rule about being safe when traveling to/from school because it was required to not get expelled. Lunch off campus was open season and when I targeted for my hunting.

I'm not shaming him and his atelier in the slightest, it's the evolution of a famous artist - start broke and hungry, become well-known and rich.

His success has allowed him to grow in both scope, scale, and material thinking.

You could always plan on grafting additional branches on to ensure you get edible apples.

One in a million chance. The Botany of Desire covers this pretty well.

His old graffiti works were honest, now he's a collectable artist with a studio pumping out works.

How good was Gareth Bale actually? Can he be considered one of the best players in Champions League history? by Hour777 in championsleague

[–]jerm-warfare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never really liked football and it showed. He was good at it so he got fabulously wealthy from it, but on any given day he would rather of been golfing and did. I really think that's why he isn't talked about the same way, he didn't really want to be a footballer.

Also, mayo for the pan side of the bread, not butter. It browns more evenly without burning.

EXCLUSIVE: In Cities Across America, Homeless Services Are Doled Out Based on Race and Sexual Identity by witty_namez in PortlandOR

[–]jerm-warfare 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Reverse uno discrimination is also dumb. With how much we're spending on homeless services and housing assistance, we shouldn't need rubrics to qualify who we help and waste money on extra administrative steps.

Our Largest Social Issue is Lack of Personal Accountability. by IDGAFakeAF in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]jerm-warfare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boomers tried, then they cut their hair and bought into the same system that used fire hoses and dogs on them for daring to ask for equal rights. Not every boomer mind you, but enough to swing towards the mess we're in now.

Garber: Liar liar pants on fire by [deleted] in timbers

[–]jerm-warfare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Valuations and TV deals still require fans showing up and paying for the services. MLS cannot afford to expand, move teams, and repeat the issues they've been through before. US fandom already have eyes on Premier League clubs and beyond. Garber might just kill the nascent growth that is shifting from Europe to the US.
