Not all heroes wear capes!

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

Don’t worry. The board gave their CEO a huge amount of money so he’s sure to turn it around!

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.

Agreed. Talk your neighbor like a normal person.

Passive aggressive bull shit alone won’t fix the issue.

Maybe he’s a dick and won’t care. Then you should take it up with management.

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?

What are the services American companies provide that are so valuable they are more important than protecting the sovereignty of a European country?

MS Office? Android? iOS?

I generally don’t know what services they are afraid of targeting and potentially losing.

It’s encoding your URL into the correct format for your Browers URL bar. “%25” is the encoded version of “%”, so it’s being replaced.

It’s obviously incorrect in this instance since it’s not an actual URL. Maybe it wouldn’t happen if you’re able to put the URL string into a code block?

I hadn’t heard of PCGamerWiki before, and it looks super useful. Thanks!
