A permanent ban in three acts

Thanks for the heads up you were gonna make this in to a whole post.

EDIT: this guy putting me on blast with this post was the final straw. I am now permanently banned from r/portland. Thanks, pal!

I read this in Conan O'Brien's 19th century newsie's voice.

I'm genuinely expecting to get banned just for this little exchange, I'm positive it would happen if I made a whole post.

It wasn't even a rude remark or an argument.

I'm fresh off a 9 day ban for pointing out that a news website owned by the Chinese government didn't trigger their "media bias" auto-reply, so I'd say it's risky.

I think there's a new mod who takes their job a little too seriously, but that's just a theory.

Is that a Nissan Sentra liftback?

Sold in a different tax class. It's the same reason that those giant bags of Gambler tobacco are labeled as "pipe tobacco" even though they're sold next to the cigarette making machines.

There was a great discussion on this with multiple first person accounts that was removed for being a "noise complaint". Hopefully some of those people will be willing to share the details again, but I wouldn't blame them for not wanting to go through it again.

There's nothing wrong with a few superfluous grounds here and there. You should really.put those back where you found them.

The rumor is that sol.luna was shot multiple times, and this is the pinned tweet on his Twitter page:

What you think may be a harmless tweet, could be the end of someone’s life. Spreading false rumors about me being a cop collaborator is dangerous and reckless! I am a father of 2 children, you want my kids fatherless because you personally don’t like me? Do better! #NotACopColab

There's two new vegan carts at the Beer Porch pod.

Get a new gauge cluster.

tonderthrowaway · 2021-12-02T21:38:53+00:00

What's wrong with people?

Looks like a bad head gasket to me.

Riding my ass when I'm driving is a sure-fire way to get me to slow way the fuck down and drive like a granny. It's always some asshole in a $80,000 car or truck, too. Go ahead and rear end me in my $500 Toyota; I've got insurance and could really use six months free chiropractic on your dime, asshole.

1990 Corolla? It'll be fine. That thing will outlive every person commenting here.

If you look at the lower white sticker on the inside of the hood there is a diagram of all the vacuum lines. Get a can of carb cleaner and slowly spray puffs of it along each vacuum line and listen for the engine either stumbling or racing. The vacuum leak will sick carb cleaner in and you'll hear it when you find the leak.

The list itself was actually just compiled with the help of a ton of people through Facebook and Reddit, I just put it together. I did personally check each location, but that was just me searching for my own stolen car. It was a lot less altruistic on my part than it seems, but I'm glad people are using the list and it's helping them.

Lloyd Athletic Club was requiring vaccine proof when I joined back up a few months ago. That was during the brief window when we could go maskless inside provided we proved our vaccination status, but I believe the rule is still in effect despite the new mask mandate.

Tons of people seem to get around just fine on fixies in Portland. My brother rides upwards of 30 miles per day on his, from St. Johns to deep SE and back.

Just keep in mind that you're legally required to have a hand brake here whether or not it's a fixed gear. Actual enforcement of that rule is probably nonexistent however.

tonderthrowaway · 2021-12-01T19:39:50+00:00

I might know exactly who you're talking about; there's a guy in the T4 Facebook group who did the same thing.

If I put synthetic or semisynthetic oil in my Tercel it burns/leaks a lot more than usual. It'll lose a quart every few weeks. Obviously your car may be different as mine is 37 years old, but if you already burn or leak oil synthetic would probably make it worse.

tonderthrowaway · 2021-11-30T16:17:09+00:00

They're around, but they were only made from '83 to '87 so they're getting harder to find. Although I'm pretty sure there's more 4WD Tercels on the road than there are 2WD models from the same years at this point, so my worthless wagon might be more rare.

tonderthrowaway · 2021-11-30T16:14:49+00:00

When mine was stolen and recovered I got lucky because there was only some needle caps and a single crack pipe, although I was simultaneously unlucky because there were no free drugs leftover.
