(Part 2) Best products from r/Portland

Moving sale! Got fired from my job and now I'm going back home so I have a lot of odds and end type shit and some furniture I want to get rid of. Prices are fixed, but only because I'm already lowballing everything because I just want to get rid of it. I'll post pictures of the actual item based on interest.

Things I'm offloading right now:

edit: New Stuff!!

• Assorted beer glasses - two tall pilsner glasses (22 oz) (has a logo like this on the glass), small 3 oz taster glasses (3) one from Sam Adams, one from Wachusetts Brewery, one from the Copenhagen Beer Festival - Pilsners are $2/each and tasters are $2 for all three.
  
  
• Assorted wine glasses (3) - $1/each
  
  
• Digital Food scale - $2
  
  
• This type of waffle maker. I think it's a black and decker, just all black colored, entirely plastic. Used but in great condition. - $5
  
  
• Orange Safety Vest - $2
  
  
• Two paper coveralls (Tyveks) - $2 for the pair
  
  
• Orange work gloves. They're insulated a bit so they'll keep your hands warm and have a rubber palm/finger grip.
  
  
• Hand warmers...I have 4 or 5 packs. - $1 a pack
  
  
• Vacuum cleaner. So it's seen better days but it still gets the job done. Canister style vacuum, has primary floor attachment with a beater brush, solid floor attachment, wand attachment (the narrow high suction thing for getting under tight spaces), a bristle brush, and a smaller upholstery attachment with a beater brush built in for doing things like couches, cars, etc. There is something wrong with the connection between the primary floor attachment and the handle because recently it only operates the beater brush when the handle is turned at an angle. Like I said, it's seen better days, but it still works fine and would be a great vacuum for a shop or secondary thing to clean places that are typically dirty. Whole thing is $5 + some bags. Maybe you can fix it :)
  
  
• 1.5ish ft by 2ish ft rubber entry mat. Used it to change my shoes after a muddy hike without trying to balance around and getting my feet wet or dirty. Take a hose to it and everything cleans right off. - $1
  
  
• This Floor lamp - $5. Add $1 and you get bulbs!
  
  
• These tire chains. New, never used (still sitting in the box amazon sent it in unopened), model QG1142. Bought it to fit a 2008 Honda CRV stock tires. And these rubber tighteners. Also brand new, still sealed in packaging unused. They go together, $20 for both.
  
  
• This Leaf Antenna. Bought it in January, it's been sitting next to my TV. Delivers crystal clear, uncompressed broadcast channels. I used it to watch football for a month and get the morning news, works perfectly here in the city. I'm leaving a F/F coax connector with it so if you want to run a longer cable, you can. $5
  
  
• FitBit HR Charge (original). Color is black. I have two of them and three charging cables. $20 each + charging cable.
  
  
• This silverware tray. Fits in a standard sized drawer and has an expandable slot. $5
  
  
• Brand new black and decker iron. Still in box. $5
  
  
• Black and Decker toaster oven. Like new, been using it for 3 months to make small batch cookies, toast sandwiches, cook biscuits, and heat up food. I think this is the model, if not exact it's near identical. Has all pans and racks, black. Goes up to 450F. $10 Sale pending
  
  
• This paper towel holder. $3
  
  
• This table from Fred Meyer. Still brand new, sealed in box. Never had a chance to set it up. $75
  
  
• A 3 foot, True Temper square shovel. Almost new, used it for work a few times. Only a couple months old. Looks kinda like this shovel. but not quite the same. Black grips instead of red. $10 Sale pending
  
  
• ID badge holder. Holder also prevents proximity based copying...or something like that. It was given to me when I worked for the gov several years back, I don't know. $1
  
  
• Two boxes of nitrile rubber gloves. Large and XL. Used maybe 3 pairs of XL but both are opened. $4 for both boxes. Sale pending
  
  
• Stack of white envelopes. Idk...write me a poem.
  
  
• Knife block. Your basic multipiece knife block. Steak knives, chef knife, carving knife, etc. Also comes with some kitchen utensils like a large plastic spoon, a spatula (I think) and a few other odds and ends. It's one set - $5.
  
  
• These bottles of Nikwax waterproof restoration stuff. Never used, $5.
  
  
• This napkin holder. New. Been sitting on my table for a month holding napkins. $5
  
  
• A copy of the Kite Runner. Used, but little wear and tear. $1
  
  
• The Unthinkable. $1. Sale pending
  
  
• Zombie Survival Guide. 1 poem.
  
  
• ATT cordless handset phones. Two handsets. One main docking station that has a voice mail built in and a secondary dock for the other handset. Still have the manuals too. $5
  
  
• I have two stethoscopes. They're in pretty good condition, one never been used, the other was used last years ago and only for a brief period. Both in good condition. $10 for the pair.
  
  
• Metal measuring spoons and measuring cups - $5
  
  
• This TV stand. Color black. Surprisingly well built for "cheap" furniture. I have one back where I'm moving and it's held up great for 5 years. $75
  
  
• Coffee Maker. I think it makes 4 cups, I'll have to check. It's a small one that I basically had for guests as I don't drink coffee. - $5 sale pending

Seriously, where are these idiots suggesting bear mace coming from?

If anyone is wondering, this is the one I recommend - $10 - it's the same formula as used by police departments across the country. The key chain attachment makes it easy to tie on a bright colored string lanyard, thus if it's tucked in your purse or pocket you'll easily find it. It's very effective.

If you want to step up in terms of distance, this is the one you want.

These spray a gel like spray, so the likelihood of it blowing in your face is very low.

A great book on the subject [The High Cost Of Free Parking] ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/193236496X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_tQ5czbK5B2K1P) shows how parking requirements in development make us all blindly legally subsidize a high-pollution way of life (to the tune of $127B in 2002 dollars) rather than allowing a market to determine the true costs of parking. It's required reading for Urban Designers.

Saying DOCSIS 3.0 supports 1Gbps will probably end up being misleading to most people. Practically, it depends largely on other issues; primary among them the number bonded upstream and downstream channels.

DOCSIS 3 modems which support more than 8x4 (down/up) are only just now being released.

If you have something like:

http://www.amazon.com/Zoom-DOCSIS-Cable-Modem-5341J/dp/B0063K4NN6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418777025&sr=8-1&keywords=zoom+docsis+3.0

you'll be fine on the extreme tier here (quoted 150Mbps/20Mbps)

However, if we are lucky enough to get a ~300Mbps tier, you'll only be good-ish. I say good-ish, because at that point you'll want a 16x4:

I got a pair of ETY Plugs ($13) and really like them! With them in, you can still hear your friends talking to you. I think for an EDM show you might actually want greater noise reduction than these offer, but they are still way better than not having any hearing protection.

Better yet, get one of these... The city should just hand these fucking things out.

It starts reaching for the source of light. Get a grow light you can clip onto something to spread some purple beams around it.

​

This kind, it should have a timer on it or look for one with a timer so it'll shut off automatically for you: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H82Q6QG?aaxitk=mggw2fGv5kO63rRd6xqWbw&pd_rd_i=B07H82Q6QG&pf_rd_p=e037c154-e093-48a4-b127-477e5e294e3f&hsa_cr_id=3876945400701&sb-ci-n=productDescription&sb-ci-v=Grow%20Light%2C%20Plant%20Lights%20for%20Indoor%20Plants%2030W%2060%20LED%20Plant%20Grow%20Lamp%20with%20Timer%203%2F6%2F12H%20Auto%20ON%20%26%20Off%2C%2010%20Dimmable%20Levels%2C%203-Head%20360%20Degree%20Adjustable%20Gooseneck

If you take a walk around looking into windows you might see purple glow-grow lights from us plant people. They need some supplemental light here in winter. I keep mine on year round though - they really boost your green guy's lives.

Simplehuman makes small ones designed to be used with those plastic bags. We use them in the bathrooms, they're great for that: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015YJ9WA

I put these on both of our cars.

The older one has been on for 3 years now and still looks great.

Seriously. I carry one of the little "put!" kangaroo pocket ashtray things around. They work pretty well.

If you are curious about that stuff you should check out the book Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion. He talks about cults and the mechanisms that are hardwired into humans that scammers take advantage of. https://www.amazon.com/Influence-Psychology-Persuasion-Robert-Cialdini/dp/006124189X

This may help too

Had a SB6141 at first, however there have been some really strange issues with that modem (take a look at: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r29437035-Speed-Speed-Issues-with-SB1641) that affected mine as well. I would only get max about 1Mb/sec down with it.

I swapped it for a Zoom 5341J , and it has been rock solid for me. Native IPv6 works fine through it, and I max out my connection.

I don't get anything for mentioning it, but it works on both dogs, and dog owners.

And the book.

There's extensive, well-regarded research showing that parking requirements raise rents: http://www.amazon.com/High-Cost-Parking-Updated-Edition/dp/193236496X Professional economists overwhelmingly agree with that book's core claims: http://www.igmchicago.org/igm-economic-experts-panel/poll-results?SurveyID=SV_3aeMp7lK74rrVFa

You can choose it ignore it, and there's no such thing as conclusive "proof", but saying the evidence isn't incredibly strong is basically sticking your head in the sand.
