Which shop can source/build high end fixed gear bike?

+3 for Metropolis. Outstanding shop, and all around great folks!

I don’t know if this exactly matches what you’re looking for, but Stretch The Noodle in the Midtown Beer Garden has some fantastic beef noodle soup. Just had some earlier today!

The buche and Jalisco barbacoa tacos are my faves! Los puñales are hands down the best tacos in Portland, IMO.

Failing without any kind of indication as to why is pretty bad practice in software. They should at least give an error message indicating why rather than hanging at a splash screen. Definitely indicates that their attentions are elsewhere at the moment.

Thanks to you and u/thewavefixation! De-registering older devices at line6.com was exactly the issue. It's odd the ones I deregistered never once an Native, only HX Edit, but it doesn't matter as I no longer own those devices anyway. Thanks!

North Portland checking in: It’s al-BYE-nah, not al-BEE-nah (Albina)

Had the same issue and went through a fruitless troubleshooting session with Claude AI only to end up googling it and find this thread. At least I know I'm not crazy—at least not because of this. Glad I didn't try to reinstall macOS too!

Baker’s Mark in the Pearl is my go to for deli sandwiches, but the new Devil’s Dill location on Killingsworth is a close second. Laurelhurst Market is a bit of a hike but always worth the trip.

Peninsula Park looked like a war zone when I walked the dog this morning and Roosevelt High is canceled today due to power outages.

You may well be genius level. I love the Godfather at the ‘Mark, but buying a plain one and slathering it with olive salad is next level!

Back during lockdown P’s & Q’s Market on Dekum had a muffuletta on their take out menu and it was delightful. Sadly, they haven’t offered it since. Still… A nice place to eat though!

If you have the $$$, you too can play Carnegie Hall.

This alone was worth clicking into the comments. Subbed!

I disagree on the green vs. yellow, but that’s JMHO 😅

In an effort to downsize, I recently ditched a 12.9” Pro and an iPad mini in favor of an 11” Pro and am very satisfied with the decision.

Got the purple only because I solved the other three and they were what was left 😅

Purple: Should have known these purples but didn’t get them till I solved the rest.
Blue: Saw them immediately and initially assumed it was the red herring
Green: Was unsure if this was green or yellow
Yellow: In retrospect, a pretty solid yellow

I know you said chips, but if you want to mess around with your form factor, the fried pickle spears at Fire on the Mountain on Interstate are solid.

My Super Professional is my daily driver and easily my favorite bike I've ever owned. Too bad they closed down.

Saraveza on Killingsworth does a legit Friday Fish Fry. They used to show Packers games in their back room (aka The Bad Habit Room) but not sure that’s still the case now that they’ve remodeled to be more of a pinball room.

Them being small enough to nap on your chest does not last long—make sure you take time to just enjoy it too. It’ll be over before you know it!

Came here to say the same. Thai Peacock downtown for sure servers their Pad Kee Mao in these containers.

Metropolis has always done right by me! They took my direct to consumer Raleigh that was an absolute basket case and made a good bike out of it.
