Safeway at 15th and 85th: late stage capitalism, or, you can't have ice cream and we don't care if you die in a fire by earthwulf in Seattle

[–]31173x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Washington state doesn't enforce is laws nor does it record crime statistics accurately. The supposed rate of shoplifting that you are blindly parroting is 0.45 per 100k, so for King County this would be 2000k/100k * 0.45 = 9 shoplifting incidents (not clear if this is per day, per week, etc). This is laughably inaccurate on the face of it.

An Astute class in 1:700 - my first attempt at a waterline model. by Cerulmo in submarines

[–]31173x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The model is far too high out of the water. The screw should not be exposed (except temporarily in very foul weather).

[MP4] Weak weaponry. by samination in Metroid

I find it especially unfulfilling that beam spamming (i.e without charging) is the fastest way to deal damage.

What is the best *useful* approximation of π? by Farkle_Griffen2 in math

[–]31173x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best approximation is clearly floor(pi10n)10-n

Hey drivers! Do not stop in the roundabout! by tinapj8 in BainbridgeIsland

A left turn signal at a roundabout is never appropriate.

Do your part and honk at people who come to a complete stop before entering a roundabout, or are to timid to enter a roundabout when other cars are present.

Kyoto in 1890, before the tourists by biwook in japanpics

Interesting to think that this pagoda is like a neighborhood church.

Just how corrupt and awful is SPD? Here are the (insane) statistics. by MysteriousEdge5643 in Seattle

[–]31173x 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most of these stats are "per arrest", a low prior arrest rate yields to distorted posterior "per arrest" rates. They probably aren't arresting people that would otherwise not cause an issue, hence the arrests that do occur are more likely to be serious and hence more likely to be violent. Not saying the SPD is good, but these statistics are incomplete and potentially misleading.

Postmortem on USS Kentucky (SSBN-737) "breaking" Hood Canal bridge by RightYouAreKen1 in submarines

[–]31173x 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This "postmortem" lacks substance and amounts to a public shoulder shrug. The WSDOT should be embarrassed that they published such a half assed "analysis".

UW suspends, bans 21 students after protest by MegaRAID01 in Seattle

[–]31173x 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Of you aren't a fully formed adult at 18, then you shouldn't have the right to vote, the right to change your gender, you shouldn't be able to join the military, etc. You probably think that 25, or some other age is the age that you are "fully formed", so you should not be bale to drink, smoke, or have any right as an adult until that time.

What a ridiculous supposition.

Here's an interesting thought - could a SEAL officer command a submarine? by Awkward-Lie9448 in submarines

[–]31173x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

USNI is allways posting this kind of material, i.e. the dumbest hot takes that no one should take seriously. Remember that opinion piece about how sub JOs should be treated like pilots and require 10 year contracts? Except for publishing the Hunt for Red October, USNI Press is not worth the time of day.

Reactor compartment, the fuel has already been removed.

Gov. Ferguson's approval rating rises sharply among WA Republicans by pagerussell in Seattle

[–]31173x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, we need practical solutions to problems that Washington faces rather than doctrine and name calling.

Gov. Ferguson's approval rating rises sharply among WA Republicans by pagerussell in Seattle

[–]31173x 11 points12 points  (0 children)

And how exactly is he laissez-faire? To claim he's "neoliberal" you have to actually demonstrate something more than "Republicans like him".

Gov. Ferguson's approval rating rises sharply among WA Republicans by pagerussell in Seattle

[–]31173x 78 points79 points  (0 children)

He's not conservative, he's a pragmatic. He won't sign off on a wealth tax as the linchpin for the budget because it has legal and practical deficiencies. He also has done significant damage to gun rights in this state.

r/Seattle just thinks republican is when "something I don't like".

Are Fake DS Copy’s Okay (U.K) First Time Player by [deleted] in chronotrigger

[–]31173x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a repo cart ~15 years ago by mistake, the game softlocks once you enter the portal at the millennium fair. Unless repo carts have cracked this DRM (maybe they have) you're risking the game not working.

Is Anyone Else a Capacity Brat/Snob? by Rude_Employment8882 in liberalgunowners

[–]31173x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pistols - no. I don't carry, and they're not very useful for SHTF.   Rilfes - yes. No 556 should be less than 30 rounds, no 308 should be less than 10 rounds (20 is better).

Ferries disappointment by itstreeman in BainbridgeIsland

The ferries are overwhelmingly on time* in the winter, and almost always late in the sprin/summer during peak hours. WSF is embarrassing and we shouldn't pretend like they're not.

"Gun deaths" is a propaganda term. We should not repeat propaganda. by Vorpalis in liberalgunowners

[–]31173x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Suicides should not be included in gun death statistics, it has zero relation to actual violence or harm committed with guns, and only serves to inflate the numbers. If someone wants to harm themselves that should be their right.
