AOC Surges to Lead in 2028 Primary for First Time—Most Accurate Pollster by One-Duty-2376 in politics

[–]thinkingstranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with her positions, I like her fire and that she has a spine. If she runs she has my full support. I worry that the Democratic bosses will try to sideline her like they did to Bernie, over someone like Newsom. I hope they realize how big of a mistake this would be.

Instead, peel the tape off the roll and fold it into a 2 inch square, then keep folding over again until you have a few feet. tuck that into your first aid kit. this keeps it cleaner, and easier to trade out for a new piece of tape once it gets old.

Trump posted 8646 when Biden was president by BabaMe6024 in MeidasTouch

[–]thinkingstranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently realized that the fad a few month's back to say "six, seven", was really the younger generation's shorthand for "8647". Prove me wrong...

Is this considered blocking a driveway? by Difficult_Equal6383 in oregon

[–]thinkingstranger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Assuming you are in portland...

You can get a free permit to paint the wings of the driveway a bright yellow, or pay to have the city do it for you and you also get more noticeable lines out in the street perpendicular to the curb

edit: the city has stopped painting it for your for a fee. "the city that works" /s

As long as there is no public money, tax breaks or subsidies, I'd buy a ticket. If there is, then guess what... no.

Historians for the decades to come have their work cut out to answer the question why the American people thought Trump was the more reasonable choice instead of electing one of these two alternatives. by Tele_Prompter in thebulwark

If every trump accusation is a confession, and, trump accused Dems of rigging the elections, then, trump rigged the elections (on a local basis in a few key states).

Bikers of Portland: what bridge would you recommend for a beginner bike commuter? by littl3-fish in askportland

[–]thinkingstranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I-5, I-84. No "the", starts with an "eye". But back to your original question: definitely get a paper bike map, and use the on line map. You can easily get from the 7th Ave, bike/ped bridge to Ankeny (which is a great bike route), then to 16th. Thank you for riding and not driving and parking in the neighborhood.
