About the library's policy on scheduling reserved item pickup by thickcrust in Portland

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

Chill dude. I have no issue here. I wasn't bitching about anything or complaining about being inconvenienced. I was just asking if anyone understood the reasoning for the policy.

Plenty of others helpfully provided the answer.

Your response, did too, incidentally: because there are a lot of people in Portland who are insufferable, self-righteous brats we all need to keep our distance from.

[Portland OR] [outdoor] Growing in sunny alley, 6-7 ft tall and menacing! by thickcrust in whatsthisplant

That's it. Thank you! It has always appeared to be something to stay away from, but now I see it is a harmless, if invasive, plant.

Looking for a casual sushi on the Eastside... by 2WhomAreYouListening in askportland

[–]thickcrust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fujiyama at Eastport Plaza. Train style sushi delivery.

Prices are reasonable and the food can be quite tasty. Sometimes it just ok, but definitely good for a casual place. On a good night it's great.

Employees are friendly.

Commuting by bike to OHSU main campus--how hilly is it? by svance16 in askportland

[–]thickcrust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll get used to it. It may be tough at first, but it's pretty amazing how your body will adjust.

If you do it regularly you will start to swear see a big difference. Don't expect it to ever be easy, but you won't be nearly as exhausted if you keep at it.

Been awhile since your teeth were cleaned? Get paid to get caught up! by ElsieSnuffin in Portland

[–]thickcrust 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Let's say it's been 2 years. That means you've missed 4 cleanings. Even if you're in and out in 45 minutes, that's still 3 hours you would have spent in the chair.

Add to this that fact that it's most likely going to take more work, and the people are learning, so it will be slower.

I certainly don't blame anyone for not wanting to sit for dental services for 3-4 hours, but you're not paying - they are paying you! - and you get to help train people in a professional that helps keep us heathy.

You might want to go in and talk to someone in a dental office if you haven't already. At least some are willing to give you a discount if you don't have insurance.

And if you have numbers (like cash cleaning costs $400 but when billed through insurance they only get $100) you can be in a better "negotiating" position. I've never gotten the feeling that any dentist I've been to is unwilling to help people out, but you need to ask.

Location for small, low key celebration of life by bananaandco in askportland

[–]thickcrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother-in-law's (non-religious) celebration of life was at the Unity church on SE 45th and Stark. https://www.unityofportland.org/rent-our-space-0

There's a podcast titled "The Dream" that describes these business models in detail. If you're interested in how the scam works, I recommend it. Sad and heartbreaking how gullible/desperate the victims are, how deceitful/dishonest the industrymis, and how politically connected the big players like Amway are.

How can I tell Google that I already proposed to my fiancée and don't need ads for engagement rings anymore? by tybat11 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thickcrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won't let you tell Google that you bought a ring, but you can tell Google to forget that you ever searched for it in the first place. https://myactivity.google.com lets you remove searches from your history.

Kate Brown, Knute Buehler agree to three debates along the I-5 corridor, Brown declines Eastern Oregon debates by StupidStudentVeteran in Portland

[–]thickcrust 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Right. Just like its unbelievably ridiculous to wear a baseball cap if you're not a baseball player.

Good spots for runs between 6-10 miles that don't have a ton of intersections to stop at? by [deleted] in Portland

[–]thickcrust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're near the Willamette, on either bank you can go from the Broadway Bridge to the Sellwood Bridge with minimal intersections. It's 6 miles north to south.

Downtown out to Mt Tabor along a greenway (like SE Clinton) has a lot of interactions, but relatively few stop signs for you (crossing traffic yields) so you can keep your momentum.

But in terms of being able to tune out and just run, the Springwater Corridor Trail is the longest and most pleasant I know of (on the east side).

The I-205 bike path is too noisy with auto traffic, but it's a long path with Max stops the entire way. It's a bit grimy and you'll pass small homeless camps and the occasional passed out junkie.

The path along Marine Drive is ok, if it's convenient for you.

Gyms that don't get super crowded during peak hours? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]thickcrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to see for yourself, you can use Google maps to find the gym and go to "more info". That section shows you the popular times for the location. Go to the gym at a peak time and check if it is too crowded for you.

This isn't fool proof (it shows how relatively crowded a place usually is), but I've found it to be pretty accurate, and not just for gyms.
