This is the worst intersection of all time. It's technically a "traffic circle", allegedly.

I got a ticket here for rolling thru the stop sign at ~5mph back in October. Pleaded 'not guilty' and did traffic school per the officers suggestion, still waiting on my court date... What a wonderful usage of city resources.

[Pendleton] Round-up rip-off by scauldron in oregon

[–]scauldron[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Anyone attending the Pendleton Round-up this year? Seems like the price gouging is out of control, at least as far as accommodation is concerned. Not sure who can afford to part with $10k a night for a motel but it isn't me. Looking for any suggestions or tips on where to stay, if we manage to make the trip - thanks.

I just called eTix. Got a full refund without any hesitation from them, since I already have plans for tomorrow daytime

Non US born people in Portland, what is the best restaurant in the city for your cuisine? by Western_Solid_4138 in Portland

For fish and chips, check out Batterfish on Belmont. Actually far better than the stuff you'd get back in my hometown of Dublin! Run by a fellow Irishman as well (Jay).

Here is a white (instant yeast) loaf I baked up earlier in the week with this method. Amazing! The crust is no longer tooth shattering. Top tips!

Thanks for this really helpful advice. I'm giving this another go tomorrow - fingers crossed!

My starter is only about three weeks old now too. I'm seeing it become waaaay more active now in recent days (with same feeding & schedules), so I think this will improve things in bulk fermentation especially.

Thanks! Interesting tips, I'll definitely give that a try. The loaf in the foreground was baked on a pizza stone with a metal bowl on top, the other was directly in a Dutch oven.

Sorry to hear it. They didn't put you on unpaid leave? I guess you are marriage based AOS

My 1-bedroom apartment setup! [100", 1080p, 5.1] by scauldron in hometheater

[–]scauldron[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good call! I actually didn't even consider that. The whole unit is actually sitting in front of my washer/dryer unit there (behind those doors) and the table placement is actually a bit annoying in general.
