Is there any decent option for a garage workbench that doesn't involve 1) making it wholesale out of lumber or 2) spending hundreds of dollars for a ready-made one? Craigslist is coming up with pure crap right now.

Here's a recipe my mom used to make that we loved; it's got a sweet BBQ sauce kind of flavor so all of us kids adored it: Pham Nuwen posted:Here's a good fuckin' bean recipe that my mom would make.

blk posted:I'd skip Chevy's (chain platter Mexican) and Zeppo's (fake Italian). Food in Lake Oswego in general is usually overpriced and disappointing. The best Mexican in Portland is probably Nuestra Cocina. Taqueria Nueve and Porque No are OK for upscale tacos. There are many good Italian places in Portland, I haven't been to Piazza Italia in almost 10 years but it was pretty authentic when I went. Yeah I've been to Chevy's down in California and lol that someone recommended you hit up the loving Mexican Applebee's while visiting Portland.

The Prong Song posted:Funny enough if he's doing that at a high enough rate he is actually a dealer, just proving the point. I answered a craigslist ad a few months back and it turned out to be a dude who was basically doing this, running an unlicensed dealership / car flipping operation with his brother. He started off trying to get me to somehow prove to him I was sufficiently interested in whatever model of car it was, basically wanting me to commit to buying it before he'd even show it to me. I told him he apparently doesn't need to sell it that badly, and if he wants to play dealer he needs to be willing to put some loving time into it. I wrapped up saying I thought it was scummy as hell to post in the private party section and that I'd be reporting his post. He then called back twice trying to get me to come take a look at it, and his brother texted a few hours later asking if I wanted to see the car. The takeaway is that I've concluded the PUA "negging" strategy actually works, at least with douchebag unlicensed car dealers.

I would be happy to do jury duty, IIRC it's fully paid time off for work. I'd also be interested in witnessing and taking part in the process. However, while I got notifications a few times in California, every time I'd end up checking the website on the day of and find that my group had not been called. From what I've heard, though, it's quite likely I'd be disqualified in a lot of cases, because I actually know things about computers and computer security and science and such, and that just Won't Do.

mariooncrack posted:There would be a lot more vegetarians if people had to kill the animals they were going to eat. I raised pigs for 4-H from age 8 until I graduated high school. I would always get two. One reason is that a lone hog will get kind of lonely and be hard to deal with. The other reason was so we had a MEAT SPARE The interesting thing about living in a rural area is that there are guys who will come out to your farm with a big box truck, slaughter an animal on premises, and haul it back to his butcher shop for final processing. They kill the animal, bleed it, gut it, and skin it on-site. I learned a lot about porcine anatomy as an 8 year old. I cried a little, but then I ate the pork. It would have been disrespectful not to.

RillAkBea posted:Yeah, unfortunately dashi (the traditional fish stock) is one of the core seasonings of Japanese food. I somehow know a couple of people who are trying to keep to a vegetarian diet over here and I have no idea how they do it because if something doesn't have secret fish, it's probably got secret meat. My vegetarian friend says you have to ask for "Buddhist food" but yeah at the end of the day you'll probably be kind of screwed in general. Dashi is so drat good though...

I laughed at a buncha lines but you have to try to divorce this movie from the originals. It's nearly impossible but once you're able to do that, the movie is fine. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved the new Ghostbusters.

iwentdoodie posted:Went go karting, they stuck us with a group of people that were the slowest mother fuckers I have ever seen. Went karting with a bunch of interns a few years back, the first few laps were fine but then everyone else got around behind the slowest guy in the group... who then completely failed to let anyone past for the remaining 10 laps, despite him getting the "let people pass you gently caress" flag every single lap. The plot of racer positions at the end of the race was laughable, because at a certain point it locked into the exact same positions for the remainder of the race thanks to this rear end.
