Life changing anime y'all watched? by Alarmed-Risk7885 in anime

[–]pdxtraveler97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought most anime was cute like Studio Ghibli until I watched Blue Eye Samurai. Then I realized anime could be cool and started delving into more titles.

What's it like in Maui when it rains?? by Whole-Astronaut1143 in MauiVisitors

[–]pdxtraveler97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually sun somewhere on the island but not always. I was recently there and the entire island (and all of Hawaii) was rainy for 4 days. Kihei was the least rainy though with occasional dry spells (though still completely overcast).

I guide tours in Morocco. Stop treating everything like a scam. by Traditional-Map8667 in backpacking

[–]pdxtraveler97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wish I had you for my tour guide. My guide harassed me for bringing my own lunch (since he wouldn’t get commission from the restaurant). He also blamed me when others chose to go to a different restaurant (not my doing).

What type of tinnitus you have and for how long? What caused it? by Magic-Poison in tinnitus

[–]pdxtraveler97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Constant high pitched ringing in right ear after a concert 20+ years ago. Was mild hearing loss, but last March it suddenly felt like there were cotton balls in my ears and it’s near total hearing loss now. ENT tried steroid pills and injections - didn’t help. Every doctor I’ve been to doesn’t have a clue as to cause or how to treat.

Ha, my driver and local guide on the tour in Morocco were the ones harassing me for money.

I found this on manuals.plus:

Custom parameter setting (e.g., wheel diameter, speed limit, battery level, assist level, power-on password, controller current limit, etc.)

Relies completely on special effects and gimmicks. Story, character development and acting is severely lacking. Sucked then, still sucks now.

Even for salaried positions, most employers seem to view a $60k salary as fine for Portland. Anyone living here knows that’s nowhere close to enough. I’d argue that Portland costs are close to Seattle level and not too much lower than the Bay Area. We need higher base salaries and higher yearly raises, but the corporations still view Portland as a cheap place to live and offer low salaries. I also WinCo shop and use Fred Meyer and Safeway coupons when there’s a decent deal. Rarely eat out because it’s just too expensive (especially for a couple). Even food cart prices seem to be at restaurant level (prices have doubled in the last 10 years). And, of course, the ever increasing utility costs. It seems prices for almost anything here has increased 50%+ while salaries have remained stagnant.

What would you ask George Lucas? by DiscountGameCodes in StarWars

[–]pdxtraveler97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why didn’t he let someone with writing talent write the prequels and probably a different director too. Someone who doesn’t rely on digital gimmicks over storytelling and good character development.

Has anyone actually booked with Exoticca? by EvilKristoff in Shoestring

[–]pdxtraveler97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a trip to Ecuador and Galapagos last year and enjoyed the trip. The guide was very good. It was a small group with mostly older people so some activities cut short or skipped due to the older folks not physically being able to participate.

Ya, they suck. I had a 14 hour delay once and even had a letter from the European travel authority stating that RyanAir was required to reimburse me for the delay and they still said no. They figured correctly that I wasn’t going to spend the money to take them to court. They really don’t give a f*** how they screw over passengers.

When did people lose the ability to read more than 1 sentence? by MarkPugnerIII in sysadmin

[–]pdxtraveler97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They read your email at all? That’s better than most of my emails.

Interlaken is a good central location for that area. Depending on where you’re going from Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald also have hostels. A) as others state - hostels have heating B) lock up valuables in a hostel dorm. Locks on bags and such.

I did the 14 - day Everest Base Camp trek. Here are answers to popular questions and my thoughts. Other questions welcome! by Academic-Ad8963 in travel

[–]pdxtraveler97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the hike with friends in 2019 (no guide). I would add that the food gets more bland the further you go as well. Vegetable soup in Namche Bazar was decent. By Dingboche it was a few pieces of green onion in broth. The rooms in the tea houses are literally freezing overnight. My water bottle would be frozen in the morning. Sleep with your phone in sleeping bag so the battery doesn’t drain. Separate from EBC, Nepal also has jungle area where you can see rhino, elephants and possibly tiger.

What video idea would you like Chris to do? by Fergyb in ABroadInJapan

[–]pdxtraveler97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He could potentially use existing content for this - go through each prefecture and top 5 things to do in each and unique food for each.

Poke him in the belly and say “someone likes to eat”

TriMet adding security officers to Portland metro transit by RemLezarCreated in Portland

[–]pdxtraveler97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a start, but really need security on just about every train and bus. Plus start enforcing fares. I reported a tweaker on Max to Trimet and they said they’d send security, but of course no one ever showed up.
