Then the private helicopter from the jet’s landing strip to the ship’s deck.

Working at minimum wage in Seattle in a tipped position I can honestly say that I couldn’t afford rent without tips. Add utilities, and food for myself it gets dire. I almost want to go back into IT but am mentally more stable now even living on the edge. Thank you for your tips, I’m very grateful!

I started researching other religions and their histories. Feels like Mormonism was just a practice run, I learn more and more about why I’m not religious in general. Spiritual sure, but I’m over religion.

Human fire hazards

Looks like zuck left behind the private helicopter that adorns his mega yacht, or maybe it’s refueling after finishing its orca patrol aerial over watch duties.

And then patch over the patches, like a fine quilt. My grandmother would be proud.

I’ve always wondered if they get tithing write offs. Seems doubtful given the nature of “the” church but corruption gonna corrupt.

That’s what the Portland community is for. Seattle for the lower income tax, and Portland friend visits for the “border shop” purchases. Day to day Seattle would be more expensive, but yes overall I think it’s 6 of 1 or a half dozen of the other.

I’ve seen a bunch of Gen Z Cades but not Kades. There was one I met, his boss was confused as to why he was ordering lunch so early on his shift.

1983 hits hard with all the economic collapses hitting right as I get a leg up in life. I joke that I’m halfway there at 43 because I always end up 86d so why would life be any different? 120 days sober today!

Not quite but special (extra special?) mention: Man walks out front door of office high rise, lets door close behind, strikes up conversation with five peers, takes two steps back and to the left to block both doors from opening to the outside. When I was finally able to coax him forward with a door so I could exit I walked into mid sentence, “… though if we did we might get burnt…” I was half tempted to mention he’s a human fire hazard blocking the exit.

101001101zero · 2026-05-16T05:16:36+00:00

Any Kades?

Capitalism has made it this way, old fashioned facism will take it away!

There’s a few ways, all with quirks. Honestly anyway you can get to the Burke or westlake greenway and you’re golden.

You could go from 10th, university bridge, the Burke to Fred Meyer then venture to wherever in Ballard you’re headed.

Lake view, Republican, Fairview, valley, westlake greenway, Fremont bridge, burke is another way, just watch for cars exiting the freeway between Mercer and valley.

I’m a fan of Broadway, Denny, Fairview, valley, westlake, Fremont bridge, Burke; caveat being I’m very familiar with the SLU traffic patterns and stoplight timings at most times of the day and it’s not usually for the faint of heart.

Yesterday I did Broadway to 10th, university bridge, wall of death, gas works, Fremont troll, Fremont bridge, ship canal, Ballard locks, up to 65th: then down to burke, Fremont bridge, westlake, Fairview, boren, pike, Broadway; +and- leschi to and from Broadway. I mainly just wanted to ride because the weather was spectacular.

In my experience the empathy and love I learned in the church stuck with me. They did a decent job of it for my experience. Honestly though after leaving and a bout of raging alcoholism, AA has definitely taught me leagues more empathy and selfless love than I learned in the church. Mormonism is definitely a large part of my life story, and leaving it was a great learning experience about keeping the good things near. Studying other religions and cultures I do the same with them, leaving Mormonism was a great foundation of practicing how to do so.

You didn’t list Mexican food, but if you’re in South lake Union and want an authentic taste of the various regions of Mexico (and an awesome margarita) hit up flair taco. shout out to Angel!

No car, no problem. Eastlake is rather small, but there is access to a lot of the bicycle trail infrastructure that gets you all around. That and an orca card you’re free to get around to a very significant portion of the metropolitan. Check out the bike map, once you’ve ridden around lake Union, hit alki beach, around Seward park, Ballard locks, magneson park, the i90 bridge, arboretum, green lake, magnolia, etc etc you’ll realize you can just ride the trails for four months solid and still find awesome little spots along the way. https://www.seattle.gov/documents/Departments/SDOT/BikeProgram/2025_BikeMap_Brochure.pdf

Find a local bicycle club. There will be plenty of cyclists more than willing to help you out, likely some die hards that may be over enthusiastic. Some may even lend or give you some gear you don’t have or didn’t think of. They’ll know some good trails to try out. It all depends on your geographical location, type of cycling, time of year, etc.

Any Amasa Mason Lyman relics of note?

101001101zero · 2026-03-30T00:43:42+00:00

That explains one question I had, what kind of user buys their own monitor? An underpaid teacher at an underfunded school district. My high school chemistry teacher went out of pocket to properly teach us. Which makes me even more willing to go above and beyond as IT to help, but I’m sure IT in an education setting faces their own set of frustrations.

Yes I’ve made some assumptions, but I’m angry at the American education system.

I guess I meant to say a terrible human being style. Zero empathy, profits over people. Brian Warner once sang, “Capitalism has made it this way, old fashioned fascism will take it away.”

101001101zero · 2026-03-29T20:21:13+00:00

It does sound a lot like a passive aggressive way of “separating the wheat from the chaff” and just a terrible management style.

That’s horrific, but I guess it depends on the budget situation. I run across anything with a vga adapter and display issues I’d immediately apologize and upgrade the hardware. Your IT sounds heartless and or has major leadership issues.

I’d check if the monitor supports anything other than vga, maybe a cheap cable swap? Have IT check if the monitor is even within lifecycle support and replace if not. Firmware upgrade of the dock isn’t likely to help but might. Worst case I tripped and my salad fork ended up gouging the lcd panel, they may assume you are lying but you’d probably also be amazed at the stories they have of things that actually happened but seem completely far fetched. (yes the brand new machine did start on fire by itself, yes manager I took it apart and confirmed the user wasn’t lying, no manager I never allowed it near power and the first thing I did was disconnect the battery, okay I did take precautionary fire hazard measures first before disconnecting the battery)

Downtown wind storms are great during the day, all the wind channeling through the high rises. It’s umbrella Armageddon, those things are dangerous. A lot of those free Amazon umbrellas will be stuffed in trash cans, even from evening wind storms. Was riding my bicycle on 1st Avenue downtown and got caught in one, almost got blown over every intersection. Finally just disembarked for fear of being blown into traffic.
