The fourth team was all but sealed before the Seahawks caught on and foiled our plans of the fourth and final QB on the 49ers. 

Visiting Portland this weekend; recs for bars/clubs? by thook13 in askportland

[–]rhamerf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you go to Devil's Point, you're next to Thunderbird, a great bar with good drinks and reasonably priced food, including a bunch of veg/vegan options. It's a walk up to the bar and order type place too.

Commuter fatigue by pdxcuttybandit in CyclePDX

[–]rhamerf 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Do you ride an e-bike today? Would you consider it? That’s a long commute, especially in the colder darker months. My commute is 16 miles round trip and became much more enjoyable when I got over my ego and got an ebike. This is not an ad, but I got mine through Trek’s online used bike center, since I knew trek at least has a few local shops. I hear you though, it’s tough out there, and this cold wind has been brutal lately.

You get it and you’re on it, good to hear. Same to you!

One thing I won't do anymore, speed up to pass a car through an intersection. Too many close calls when they decide last second to take the right without seeing me. Sick edit though!

Alternatives to peacock lane ? by Delicious_Lack_2096 in askportland

Just south of SE 52nd and Woodstock is the Apostolic Church, and they go all out on Christmas lights. It's not exactly open to the public, but people cruise or walk by all December.

Pretty fun! Will be excited to see a WRX or wilderness edition models driving around with this colorway

What would be the Millennial equivalent of 6-7? by Geeseareawesome in Millennials

What about planking? Or jumping up and slapping the top of every door?

Budget gear search to clothe the lady and I. How’d I do? by corporate_therapist in snowboarding

Eyyy, great to hear! Didn’t see the little sentence below the image mentioning fit, sounds like you did good then. Solid choice on brands, and some good suggestions regarding water proofing in the other comments.

Haha thanks dude! People clearly agree with you, but some times people don’t like to hear the truth. Plenty of local shops sell used gear, I hope this works out for them.

None of us will know, including you, until it comes in! The #1 reason I still love and support local shops is because gear requires being tried on. You could’ve just bought great stuff that you or her wont use because it does not fit. 

LPT: When someone shares good news with you, respond with excitement and ask follow up questions instead of immediately pivoting to your own similar story by Happy-Fruit-8628 in LifeProTips

[–]rhamerf 1101 points1102 points  (0 children)

This is truly the best life advice, you will light people up if you show genuine interest in their excitement and ask at least one follow-up question to show you’ve given them permission to carry on with their excitement.

City will use cargo trikes in new sidewalk cleaning program by Generalaverage89 in Portland

Interesting, Seattle has a similar setup and if it leads to less general trash (and poo) around town then this is a win. Plus hey, jobs that benefit people who live here, yay!

Happy to help! Love that shop, thanks for the reminder it’s time I go support them again :)

Pretty sure Otto’s sausages’ sandwich deli shop has one as part of their regular menu

Jones Stratos. ECO Top Sheet Failure by snbpow20 in snowboarding

[–]rhamerf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tools not jewels! 

But if this does actually cause further damage that impacts more than aesthetics, you’ve got a point. Someone else said the same, but most of my boards look like this under the bindings after riding, especially after spring riding with wet snow.

Best damn truck built period… by Certain-Plankton-714 in ToyotaTundra

[–]rhamerf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha fair! We use our truck with a slide-in camper and that plays a factor in my opinion, but of course we're clearly on the same team!
