    I think we will definitely look in that area

    But also we need money and such

    But hey if wages are decent and we can buy a nice place, man

    Also isn't that bigass bookstore around there

    Seriously the rent here is absurd

    I mean I guess it makes sense because average wage is so high

    But fuck

    If you don't meet that average wage, fuuuuck

    i just finished deus ex human revolution last night

    what a great game (forced boss fight combat sections aside, because i was built mostly for stealth/hacking and holy lord the third boss was annoying as a result)

    My sister lived there! My mother visited there and was really impressed with the city.

    I don't think Rachel would go for it, though.

    Portland is more affordable but the wages are lower.

    You can live out in suburbia for pretty cheap though.

    Nothing. Matters.

    welp.

    I'm swarthy again. For nearly two days I've been trying to get the alternator off and the only thing stopping me has been the windshield wipers. I finally managed to pry them off with a screwdriver just now, after spraying them with WD-40 and trying to butch-handle them into submission.

    I'm trying to picture how windshield wipers can block in an alternator.

    absolutely nothing.

    A few days ago the word "swarthy" was being used. I claimed ignorance of the word's definition, then bragged that I'd fixed my partner's car, and asked if I should feel swarthy because of it.

    It's been a running thing since then.

    ah ha

    I didn't think anyone used "swarthy" anymore

    it's a word I associate with racist pulp adventure stories mainly

    how do wipers prevent you from removing the alternator?


    how small is this car?

    It's a van with a side mounted engine. You have to take off that wiper cover to get to the alternator.

    I fixed the weird popping noise on my motorized bicycle a couple days ago. Apparently the muffler was loose again, which I really should have figured was the case even though it wasn't making the same kind of noise it did last time it broke.

    All fixed up just in time for hail/rain/snow season. Bike rides through shitty weather are a lot more bearable when you don't have to pedal up hills.

    Edit: Bad timing on this post. Yep.

    Marshmallow on

    For comparison I paid 800$ a month for a 2 br in suburban Portland (Beaverton) with all the things you'd want. Washer/dryer, parking, etc. 30 minute train ride into downtown.

    Well Lake Oswego would run just as expensive as I'm paying now I'd assume. That's the richie rich part, no?

    Why would anyone want to live in Portland at all is the real question...

    Nothing. Matters.

    800 a month for a 2-bedroom house or apartment sounds heavenly right now.
