Fact: When the plane gets raised to 30 metres, our crane then spins around rapidly until it reaches launch velocity and we cut the rope. This saves up to 65% of the fuel normally used in a conventional take off.

"Rutilo was a close friend of my family... a hard working man, responsible, always working 2 jobs. I’m guessing he was coming back from work. His funeral service will be this Sunday Nov 23. Rutilo's family will be sending him to Mexico." - a commenter just now

Video: Scary conditions on Highway 43 where man was killed while cycling
It's a death trap, and it's the only way for bicycle riders to connect between Sellwood and Lake Oswego.

my most woke opinion is that any truck/SUV over 4,000 pounds should require a commercial drivers license, increased insurance/registration, more expensive parking, and higher punishments for traffic violations
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I live in rural Maine. My wood guy is dying. So, he dug his own grave on his property with his backhoe. Maine is just different.

I'm sorry I was too focused on the characters and events in the film's story to notice the many technical gimmicks intended only to impress other film directors.

In a piece of Good News, Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) has reprogrammed several traffic signals to better accommodate the bike bus!
During school commute hours, several key signals will provide a longer walk phase with a "long-press" of the call button.

The Earthquake Ready Burnside Bridge no longer has a start date for construction, due to what Multnomah County describes as "ongoing federal uncertainty" — although the county also revealed today that the price tag has jumped from $895 million to $1.6-1.8 billion, so that probably doesn't help.
New Burnside Bridge construction delayed indefinitely; county blames federal uncertainty
Design work on the project will continue. Multnomah County said the project's price tag has also risen to a range of $1.6-1.8 billion, up from around $900 million.

Just to focus a little, nuclear weapons still pose the greatest existential threat to human existence. There are 3,700 warheads dispersed throughout the USA in the custody of a military that swears allegiance to the U.S. Constitution.
