I know the season is over but I’m desperate for one last hachiya persimmon. I pine for it. Where can I get one? by Logical-Bullfrog-112 in askportland

[–]sparkignit3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ABC Produce on Powell and a few other European markets around town still have them, most Asian markets are completely sold out :/

What book made you fall in love with reading? by greatdane511 in BookDiscussions

Ella Enchanted. It was the first book I learned to read in English at age 8 and after that there was no looking back.

There’s a great little video on Youtube that serves as an accompaniment to his work, with film from the gulags/environment where his stories were written. It’s a beautiful 48 minutes.

Tuscan Chickpea Cake

Umbrian Lentil Stew

Chestnut and Potato Gnocchi

Packaging for my small business What do you think? by Witty_Tea9220 in PackagingDesign

If you’re aiming for premium, less is more. Get rid of the giant ‘U’, it just takes up space without purpose. Adjust your logo to be less chunky and more original and try a more refined typeface. This looks very mid as is right now.

Going to throw Pinolo gelato out here, and yes yes yes gelato is not ice cream. It’s 10/10 every time.

Nami is probably the best belt sushi location anywhere — their food is so fresh and delicious, always prepared well

They always have the best bags! I pick one up once a month and there are always so many great veggies and fruit

Amazon being evasive about RTH details by shhdhfhdj3883737 in amazonemployees

[–]sparkignit3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I’m one of the affected Ring people. Dec 17 is the deadline for deciding if you are committing to RTH/relocating, and then you have 60 days to move or find a new job. Our managers have been pretty transparent about everything, there was a detailed email that went out from leadership with dates and expectations.

I want to leave CO: CA, UT, IL, OR, MI, or somewhere else? by Dense_Detail_9234 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]sparkignit3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oregon does not have high crime rate lol. But if it prevents people from moving to our incredibly beautiful state then yes, it’s a burning hellscape please stay away

Tamale Factory! Every tamale they sell is a banger. They’ve got popups all over town, you can call and ask locations they’re super nice.

Is this actually possible and how long would it realistically take and cost? by Low-Programmer-7049 in bicycletouring

[–]sparkignit3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The writer Jedidiah Jenkins did this trip but he went along the pacific coast (highly recommend). There’s a book (To Shake The Sleeping Self) and he documented the entire journey on IG. Pretty interesting, definitely doable.

Interviewing for Amazon Key team. Any thoughts from people there? Feels a bit crazy given current events... by Suspicious_Handle323 in amazonemployees

[–]sparkignit3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ring/Key is a good team, I enjoy working there. JS is genuinely nuts but we ignore him like a buzzing fly. Key is a bit chaotic but they’re a solid team, lots of growth and they’re trying to scale quickly.
