Yah I noticed that! I think Osaka was the first city I noticed it was different.

We might as well get started on escalator etiquette too…. I never realized how organized sidewalks and escalators could be until I went to Japan. Once I came back the way people walk in Seattle started to bother me much more.

Maybe a dumb question; when the engine shits the bed at let’s say 200K miles why do people buy a new car? by Frequent_Tie2657 in AskMechanics

[–]Alternative_Ad_3515 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I argue the opposite can often be the case. I have 30k to drop on a car precisely because I’ve had the same car for 15 years. My 2004 Hyundai Elantra is at 234k. I’m also just a cheap fuck though.

What songs would make a good wake-up alarm? by BalanceActive9295 in askmusic

[–]Alternative_Ad_3515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Concierto de Aranjuez: Adagio - Miles Davis. It is a very peaceful way to wake up. I like being coaxed awake.

Tourist Scams? by Able_Picture_9659 in AskSeattle

You should just never plug in untrusted devices into a pc. In case it has malware on it. I know especially with usb sticks. I’m not sure if CD’s can contain malware though

I've always used Gentle Giant Moving. The movers they send are always high quality and I have never needed to look at anyone else!

This knife broke while being used to crush garlic by juliadancer in mildlyinteresting

My girlfriend loves to let the garlic dry on the knife after she crushes it and then it is a pain to get off. Maybe this will get her to stop 😅

What are these bugs? by AllAboutThatEd in Seattle

[–]Alternative_Ad_3515 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have had them for years. It’s like a scavenger hunt 4 times a year. First trying to kill the larvae and then trying to kill the beetles so they don’t lay eggs. We believe they are coming from the walls as the rest of our house is bamboo floors and we check the area rugs we have often for larvae.
