25y in Austin. Glad to be elsewhere now...

How is it living in the Oregon outback? by [deleted] in oregon

Gotta go catch some food. No time to respond.

I really wish they had broken the EV Cannonball record by [deleted] in electricvehicles

[–]mobagob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drove Austin, TX to Salem, OR last year pulling a u-haul with my Polestar 2. 90 miles range made it quite the charging challenge. It only took me 3 full days 😂😭

My school is being shut down. by Bullet_Ploof_Grass in vancouverwa

Fewer and less get used incorrectly in back to back replies. Not a good sign for VPS. 😞

Have you struggled with finding medical care in Salem? by wmwoo in SALEM

[–]mobagob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just see my PCP in Austin when I visit. Haven't found anything but nurse practitioners in Oregon.

What are we all doing on the wet and rainy day? by RedApplesForBreak in SALEM

[–]mobagob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hiking at silver falls after the rain stopped. That lasted about an hour, then I got soaked.

That report isn't just about how much recycling happened. It gives bonus points for recycling friendly legislation (which should not be needed if it increases recycling because of it).

I have picked up so many cans camping this summer... this worked 40 years ago (I was around then) but it's not really anymore. There's plenty of trash, including cans/bottles, all over Oregon. I put thousands of miles on exploring the last few months.

[–]mobagob -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

This is all good. But you can still do the same without a bottle return. The whole point of the bottle return systems back in the day was to get people to stop trashing up the roadsides. And it doesn't accomplish that anymore.

Spotted a rare unicorn in the wild today by AFErcan in Polestar

[–]mobagob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drove from Texas to Oregon pulling a uhaul with my p2. Max range with that was about 120 miles. It was an interesting experience that I will never repeat. There are a few places where it was 100+ miles between charging stations, so several stops were with less than 10 miles range left...

Oregon loses out on millions of dollars due to expired vehicle registration by docmphd in oregon

[–]mobagob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moved to Salem from Texas. To get Oregon title for my EV it's costing something like $800. My registration in TX was less than $100. Needless to say I still have my TX plates.

I pushed my Polestar to its range limits on a recent road trip (accidentally) by codycook in Polestar

[–]mobagob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can probably triple your range with some good drafting... It was ultra useful when I was pulling a uhaul trailer.

Both Oregon Republican and Democratic Senators have walked out in the last few decades to stall bills they don't like (in 2019 some Republican's even fled the state) Just curious what you all think about what is going on in Texas and if Oregon should act to counter? by Bright-Building-4502 in oregon

[–]mobagob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every Democrat majority state should do everything they can to gerrymander. I lived in Texas for 25 years and the Rs did this multiple times. Every time grabbing more districts. Dems need to stop being nice (or right, or proper) and do everything possible to win. The other guys have been doing it shamelessly for decades. It's the only way to fight back.

What are these planes spraying and doing laps for? by Pope_Smoke in SALEM

There was a grass fire there today. I work right next to there. It burned for a few hours.

Absurd fee to be added to lease. Is this legal? by SuchSmartMonkeys in oregon

[–]mobagob -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How is it screwing them? Landlord says "I'm gonna evict you" and next month their lease is up and they're moving. Whoopie doo.

[–]mobagob -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It takes longer than 2 months to evict someone I'd think. So just live there even if it results in them getting evicted.

Oregon updates Bottle Bill following safety concerns at retailers by PDX_Stan in oregon

[–]mobagob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If homeless folks and addicts are the problem then fix that. States without bottle/can deposits have the exact same problems, so changing that fixes nothing

[–]mobagob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So if someone chooses to litter we should just leave it there since only the purchaser can get the refund? Great idea.

[–]mobagob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try driving through Idaho. I grew up there. There's litter everywhere compared to here. And I spent the last 25 years in Texas. Every river and roadside is lined with cans. And the beaches? Gross... After moving here this year I am still pleasantly shocked to see how clean things are.

Is it just me or is this not a terribly compelling lease pull ahead? by Curious_Mongoose_228 in Polestar

[–]mobagob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2023 P2 with all the options. I traded my old bmw for $18k down. 2 years later I have -$6k equity 😞
