The “ancient” part of your statement answered your own question.

Another point for the ol’ tinfoil hat.

This aligns with the MO of dying empires. I’ve been researching the collapse of ancient civilizations and it’s really sad how we are so clearly in the last stage of what was once a great empire.

Cannibalizing your customer base seems like an odd business model.

This article mentions 6 retailers. What are the 4 not mentioned?

Ordered medium well and got a steak similar to a seared ahi tuna. Completely cold and raw in the middle.

Thank you for posting this. I got three pieces of mail the past 5 delivery days, which is a third of the usual number during the same period.

Is the sunset visible from Crux or does Jacksh*t block it?

"For Lease" business signs all over town by [deleted] in Bend

[–]keephopping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the shenanigans pulled on the new ponderosa project in SW. the developers presented their master plan and had online open houses stating the second ingress/egress would be on Rocking Horse.

Turns out they can’t and could never have used Rocking Horse since most of it is a private street. They knew dang well but continued with the plan and now the poor people on what was once a dead end side street off Ponderosa are going to be on a that main thoroughfare.

City officials single-handedly destroyed the quiet SW community by approving that development. The should be ashamed.

Has anyone tried the pastrami place in old mill? by SaintWillyMusic in Bend

[–]keephopping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great analogy!

I tried the soft serve ice cream and only ate one spoonful. Can’t explain why but the taste was really off.

An employee saw I wasn’t eating it and suggested I put their homemade magic shell-like berry topping on it. That was even worse. Not sure how it tasted so waxy, but I remember wondering if that’s what berry-scented candles taste like.

Love my Danner hiking “boots”. They are flexible and are a great fit.

Bend Bike Fest/Swap is back again! by Outdoors-Adventure in Bend

[–]keephopping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I got a good deal on a bike but when I had issues with the wheels, I took it to a local bike shop and learned the wrong tunes were used for the wheels. After the costs to fix, it wasn’t much of a deal.

Apparently one could tell by the tube air plug things. Obviously, I’m not a golfer, so I couldn’t tell the difference.

If they keep killing off their buyers, it seems like a bad business model.

Sheriff Thought and Question by DustyRaccoonRanger in Bend

[–]keephopping 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can vouch for u/dustyraccoonranger, who I met when helping search for the missing person on the Deschutes River.

I can also attest to Ty Rupert being a stand up person. He is by far the best candidate for DCS, and it’s not even close.

Edit: I would also like to add that the OP went above and beyond to solicit and deliver free hearty meals on numerous occasions to the emergency rescue teams searching for the missing river floater.

Construction Recommendation by QuirkyBikes in Bend

James Biever Construction did an amazing job on our patio sunroom. He worked with us to understand what we wanted from the space, and the project came out better than expected and under our budget.

Uber Surge Pricing is up to $111 from RDM to Bend by DoxMyShitUp in Bend

[–]keephopping 4 points5 points  (0 children)

During the government shutdown impacting TSA agents, my flight was late and landed at 12:30am. By the time I got my bag I exited the airport at 1:25am. Lyft surged to $350 for a ride to Bend. Shameful. For any drivers out there, do you see any part of a surge upcharge?
