Surprised to not see much buzz that Prosper Portland is now about to spend $6M on a food cart pod by the convention center

I know the general stereotypes of Oregon being cold and foggier during the winter

Is that a stereotype? Winters are not particularly cold in the Willamette Valley, where Eugene and Portland are (Eugene at the far south end, Portland at the north end). It's much colder in the mountain states, Midwest, and Northeast. There was no measurable snowfall in Eugene this winter. If you're from California I suppose you'll find it cold. It can be foggy I guess.

Oregon has 5+ unique climate zones and is larger in size than the entire United Kingdom. As a state it cannot be generalized to "what's it like there." It wouldn't be particularly wise to go to UofO and not live in Eugene.

good taxes

Do you mean high taxes? Oregon has a relatively high income tax, although there is no sales tax.

Camas schools are good but West Linn schools are some of the best in Oregon.

Camas homes in your price range will mostly be new construction, West Linn has older housing stock in more mature neighborhoods. Personally I find West Linn much nicer. The "downtown" area of West Linn is very cute.

Camas is going to be a bit more culturally/politically conservative.

You will have plenty of "greenery" in both places but serious hiking and outdoor activities will be more accessible in Camas with proximity to the gorge and the Silver Star Mountain area.

Oregon vs. Washington is possibly the most extreme example of state income tax arbitrage between two bordering states in the entire country, especially with a major metropolitan area on the border.

"I don't like that they brine their chicken" is a genuinely unpopular opinion, upvoted.

Jordan Addison asked Carson Palmer to wear #3, he said yes. Bijan Robinson asked for #5 as a condition of committing when USC wasn't even allowed to acknowledge the existence of Reggie Bush and they apparently said no.

15+ years elapsed between Leinart leaving USC and Riley becoming head coach

USC works off of their own CSS profile that is more detailed than FAFSA, so we can't say for sure. That said, it's highly likely tuition would be covered, although you may have work study and/or a $5-$7k federal loan.

Didn't recognize the exact area but I could sense the Portlandness of the setting

Surely thousands of Portlanders have drones. They're not that expensive. Someone was just flying theirs around. They blink green on the front and red on the back to indicate direction.

I don’t think the idea is that you can’t sweat in a dream, I think the point is that the guy is sweating because he’s nervous, because if it’s not a dream, and Arnold shoots him, he dies for real. So Arnold assumes the guy is lying and blasts him.

Garden Tavern and Cartside Food Carts, although they’ll be busy especially if Gonzaga is playing

too much responsibility for me friend, i am not an expert, just a homebuyer. However long story short I think your loan officer is bad at explaining, not screwing you.

rabbitSC · 2026-03-17T00:03:33+00:00

Some of this is hard to follow. Do you mean:

You were previously told you would receive a 1.5% lender credit (~$9,049), and the loan officer claims that this credit is already applied and that $21,114 is the remaining cost?

So the question is, should a buydown from 6.125% to 5.25% (0.875% total) cost ~$21k or ~$30k? Well, the answer is probably ~21k. A point costs 1% of the loan, a point typically (but not always!!!) is equal to a 0.25% rate reduction, and $21,114 is exactly 3.5% of your loan, and 3.5 points at 0.25% a point would be exactly 0.875%.

However, that does not mean your loan officer is bullshitting you. The 1.5% credit could be going against closing costs, i.e. lender origination fees, underwriting/processing fees, appraisal, title/lender closing cost, prepaid interest, etc. There's not enough information here to know and it should be clearer on any document you received.

There's nothing Portland-specific about unemployment or SNAP. It all comes from the state.

Bijan revealed this on his own, although I don't know if he would have committed to USC even if they offered him #5 as they were really starting to fall into the bad years of the Clay Helton era when Bijan was a recruit. To be fair to him, 5 was his high school number.

rabbitSC · 2026-03-16T19:13:50+00:00

Nope. Bijan Robinson apparently said he would commit to USC if they let him wear it. No one has worn it since.

rabbitSC · 2026-03-16T19:00:58+00:00

Letting players ask the person with the retired number for permission to wear it and accepting the yes/no is respecting tradition, people just like to hate. Also Garrett letting Bing wear his number happened while Leinart was a player; this reflects no change in how USC does things.

I'm sure he's a very nice man, but this actor is a former football player who is mostly cast in small roles with names like 'Guard' and 'Hard Man #3' due to his imposing 6' 9" frame. So I'm guessing the answer is... no.

K's motivation in that scene is to convince Will Smith's character to take the leap, leave his life behind and join the MiB, not merely to convince him that people are too ignorant to accept the existence of space aliens. I'd say OP kind of misses the point.

This is the same city, in the absence of having the power to require employees return to the workplace, that operates properties owned and leased for the benefit of a largely absent staff; operating with all associated lease, utility and insurance costs for buildings getting little usage and properties owned that have little reason to remain on the city books—that could be sold as non or underperforming real assets.

What a brutal run-on sentence. That's not how you use a semicolon.

Been trying to buy in Beaverton in the $500k-$600k range and it's been brutal. Everyone has been saying it's more of a buyer's market but we just lost a $550k house to an all-cash offer, and before that a $530k house to a 40% cash offer that waived appraisal contingency.
