No, but the ocean is pretty big.

Not all heroes wear capes!

I’m just over here saving my wife’s life on the regular.

You’re hired!

That’s a good point. I’m lucky enough that I don’t live within an HOA, but I’m sure many of my neighbors would raise a stink if someone tried to build a duplex on one of the lots.

The bigger issue around me is actually real estate investors buying the houses to use as rentals. It means people don’t stay at the house long term, and it can change the dynamics of the neighborhood. I don’t have a solution to this specific problem, but I’d love something that skewed outcomes to be more financially beneficial to people buying a house to live in.

Agreed. In many of the bluest places there seems to be a lot of NIMBY-ism. So, while it used to be an affordable place to live, the older folks that bought their homes decades ago don’t want their home prices to go down. This seems to make things like re-zoning for multi-family (or denser) housing, restricting car parking, etc. much harder than it should be.

It feels short-sighted because living in a dense, walkable city is a really great experience, and it’s the only thing I miss about the East Coast. Everything else there I’m glad to be away from.

I’ll admit to not having seen the lion’s share of Portland’s neighborhoods, but the most walkable ones seem to be closer to the river. However, there’s no reason this can’t spread from there if we actually allow it too. Neighborhood bars, walking distance to a grocery store, more parks, MORE SIDEWALKS, etc.

Also, Minnesota is amazing.

Looks like that’s on the back hidden behind the photo?

No issue!

COMMISSAR!

Did the driver die inside, or is this still safer than a Tesla?

Is there any way to install this on Android?

Should have read the page first. There are very simple instructions for installing on Android.

Home economics and shop class used to be pretty common, but most folks don’t take them anymore either because they aren’t offered or students aren’t aware they exist.

His dumb attempt to set this up to try and avoid the blowback he got the last time he caved is infuriating. It’s like he can’t possibly standup for what he thinks is right. If he believes we should never shutdown the government, he should say so and own the consequences.

I can’t tell if he’s incredibly cynical or condescending that he thinks we’re all morons that can’t see through his lame attempt to frame the narrative.

Instant buy from me!

From why I see, Amazon seems to use electric trucks almost exclusively around Portland.

FedEx, UPS, and USPS are still mostly running on gas.

It’s been a while since I read Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight, but Bruce Wayne is an older man in that series. It also kicks ass.

Ferment that shit!

Agreed.

Also, I don’t remember all of the details, but there was an early 20th century peace treaty that some in the losing country considered unfair, and that ended…well?

Being laid into? Personal preference.

I’d guess it’s not as bad as it is in CA, but this is starting to happen in my neighborhood in Portland, OR.

Houses are getting more expensive, so sellers are getting more and more offers from wealthy investors buying them to rent them out. Since people can’t afford a home, they go ahead and rent the house (at least around us).

Its a bummer because the rent continually increases, so folks typically cannot stay there for too many years. For the renters, the rent is around what a mortgage payment would be at current interest rates, so they’re not saving a lot of money.

The house across the street was sold when mortgage rates were ~3%, so the owners are making a good amount on the house. I just happen to hate that it’s ruining our neighborhood, and I’d like more families with kids to move on to our street.

Send it up and over to the other side. Free lemon squash for your neighbor!

For the calendar specifically, you could use something like DAVx5 to sync your calendar onto your phone. Then, Google Calendar would only be displaying the calendar that’s already sync’d to your phone, and you could revoke network permissions from Google Calendar.

Otherwise, for a program that transmits a bunch of data whenever it connects to the internet you don’t have a way to finely control that.

I haven’t use a DNS filter on GrapheneOS before, but that might be able to block specific connections.
