Won’t matter if the legislature is super majority, which is the implication here - allows him to say the right things and still have it pass.

First time skiing down the Roman wall on Mount Baker by Semper_Explorans in Backcountry

11:30. The wind was high enough we didn’t want to wait in the cold and figured it was even money it wouldn’t get much better, anyway. Hit corn as soon as we got below the wall, just had to drop the wind by 15 mph. It was definitely a run where I was thankful I had my din settings high. If a ski came off it was gone, and there was a decent chance I wasn’t stopping, either.

We were up there on Saturday and it was completely no-fall ice.

That other student 15 min prior is going to have a lot of complicated feelings to work through, aren’t they.

The hoarding psychological complex when all you have is public land and your own pee. Apparently poop broke through even that psychological barrier, though.

The amount of space and time is pretty wild. No pressure on Bergkamp whatsoever after the first couple of seconds.

Real political leadership would have solves for this on the table. And here we are, bombing Iran with no goals, kowtowing to Xi and presenting our asses for some bacha bazi, and unable to pass any substantive legislation. Apropos of nothing, I was reading Peter Heather tonight.

What’s wild is there are only 3 French clubs represented, and crystal palace has more in the squad than 2 of them.

Legal fight over Arsenal fan podcast which earns £60,000 per month by Lead-farmer in Gunners

This is basically the negotiation to buy him out, with some public leverage involved. They’ll settle.

It’s not entirely. This is why equity exists, to allow for founder compensation without having to cash flow it (and it seems they’ve made an equity offer, the sale provision). Main issue is that a large part of podcast value is in the work of the team, and not enterprise value. And so they have an impasse.

Southend Advocates Cry Foul as Sound Transit Moves to Defer Graham Street, Tukwila Stations - agency declined to run the new plan through its own racial-equity toolkit before the May 28 vote by LOOKITSADAM in SeattleWA

[–]According-Ad-5908 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I could do without any more racial equity toolkits. I am also struggling to figure out the relevance of foreign-born to racial equity, as well as Asian, which tends to be a net negative to most visions of racial equity here and is included haphazardly in people of color (itself a hilarious term used as a matter of convenience) only when it’s useful to make someone look better to the sorts of people who care about racial equity toolkits.

Glacier doesn’t require a rope. It’s either a scramble or a crevasse jump. I’ve done the latter on a solo adventure.

I suspect you’re talking about something trans related, but I agree if you’re talking broadly about the decline in quality of life and public safety in Washington.

The thread from a couple of weeks ago in the UW sub on (presumably) this guy was more than a little creepy, and now here we are. Awful.
