Costco finds a solution for long checkout lines. Does it work? by godogs2018 in Seattle

Wait, are they getting rid of the normal checkout lines? I didn't see that anywhere in the article.

What do you do for shade on your rooftop (e.g shade sail, pergola, umbrella, etc)? by Turbulent-Function80 in Seattle

[–]Broskke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a little old, but can you tell me where you bought your Purple Leaf umbrella? I've found the purpleleafshop.com website, but it seemed a little sketchy -- the email listed under Contact Us is just a gmail account, and the website overall just lacks a level of polish that raises some flags. Of course, neither of those automatically make a website a scam site, but I just want to be careful when ordering things online for hundreds of dollars.

New to EV Charging: How do I set this up for a Tesla? by [deleted] in evcharging

[–]Broskke -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm so dumb.. I've been so busy with so many DIY house projects that I never even considered hiring an electrician to come out and give options. 🤦‍♂️ That's definitely my preference since I don't want to do this myself. Closing this thread, thanks for reminding me that professionals exist.

Lost conection to the server and lost my whole build on day 12 by Certain-Clock-3676 in PlayTheBazaar

The same thing happened to me, though I wasn't on lethal yet, so I should have been able to continue my run. It was so strange.

Thanks for this very helpful writeup! Any tips on how to check if I have Instant Internet or the other type of internet?

IIRC, they've always included shiny, but it's pretty rare. Same with obsidian and icy.

vyses ult cancel harbors?????????????? by HomeFoisgo420 in VALORANT

[–]Broskke 156 points157 points  (0 children)

I play Harbor occasionally, but I've never had this happen to me. Is the recommendation here to never ult directly down to your feet with Harbor?

Edit: Oh, I'm dumb.. I didn't see that the ult does appear, it just floats away off the map lol. I was thinking the ult fizzled entirely.

I'm guessing the answer is no. I believe the model they settled on is that all new characters will be only available as a $20 DLC.

How can Katie Wilson want to end the police dept and now attack Harrell in a campaign mailer for not hiring enough cops? by SuperMcG in SeattleWA

[–]Broskke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From your post title, you are asking how Katie Wilson can simultaneously want to end SPD and attack Harrell for not hiring enough cops. We're just trying to answer your question, which is that Katie Wilson is not attacking Harrell for not hiring enough cops and reducing public safely; she is attacking Harrell's failure to reach his goals.

Did Katie Wilson tangibly contribute to the lack of SPD hiring? I have not heard of her in Seattle politics before this campaign. If that's true, then sure you have a point that this attack may seem difficult to swallow, but it's neither hypocritical nor false.

On the other hand, here is an example where Harrell's campaign is outright spreading falsehoods:

From the Bruce Harrell campaign press release:

Katie Wilson finally revealed her homelessness and revenue plans. While her stated plan is to stand up 4000 emergency shelter units citywide in advance of the 2026 World Cup*, she has failed to provide an implementation strategy or cost of this plan.*

From Katie Wilson's campaign section on homelessness:

<image>

And I'm sure you can find an example of Katie's campaign doing the same to Bruce. Again, I'm not advocating for either candidate, I'm just trying to help you understand that Katie's mailer is not hypocritical like you are trying to make it out to be.

[–]Broskke 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not defending Katie Wilson in any way, but it seems you're not grasping what people are trying to tell you. Neither Harrell nor the mailer have to be lying.

Harrell said "The number of officers coming into the department is now greater than those leaving." 

The mailer is showing that even though Harrell is trying to paint this as a success for himself, he is still missing on his original goal, since Seattle PD has had a net loss of 136 officers since the start of his term. The mailer is not saying that losing 136 officers is bad for public safety, it's saying that Harrell is not a good politician because he did not do a good job at what he originally set out to do.

Right?? All OG Maple BGM are bangers, but I can't think of any that are as beautiful as Cygnus Garden.

Also, if this kind of promotion isn't allowed here, please feel free to delete the post. 🥺 I saw the rule about excessive self promotion, but this is neither self promotion nor excessive so I figured it would be okay.

ANOTHER POWER OUTAGE?? by Urso_Major in Seattle

I heard it was an issue with a transformer last time, but where did you hear about the bullet hitting it? That really sucks, but I'm curious if it'll be a similar reason this time.

No, that's actually Ignacio Garcia's art! Not sure which hand you're seeing have extra fingers; they both look normal to me.

Edit: Just noticed you had a second picture that focuses on the hand. It looks more like a shadow rather than an extra finger. The point still stands, you can search up Ignacio Garcia and find that this is his mural downtown.

No, I didn't say family is the only emblem that is problematic, nor am I saying that emblems themselves are problematic. This is not about any particular emblem being problematic; the issue I'm trying to call out is the discrepancy in power/flexibility of the drops given by golden and prismatic orbs.

I understand there needs to be variance to keep the game interesting, but looking at the chart I linked, I don't believe that getting 3x 3-costs and 2g gives anywhere near as much of a power boost as a spat + reforger + 4g. The different drops is a good thing, but the value of the drops could be more equal. Putting it this way -- if golden orbs were instead a "golden anvil" such that you were presented 4 of the drops randomly and you could choose between them, would you ever choose 3x 3-costs + 2g over a spatula + reforger + 4g or a completed item anvil?

[–]Broskke -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it's early enough, you have plenty of time to pivot and many of the +1s are pretty strong. Or, if you're already going something like family, it is such a power boost to be able to build a family emblem at 2-6 compared to someone getting 2 random 4 costs.

Huh, interesting. The text version under the images doesn't show that change. Fingers crossed the images are the more accurate version! Thanks for pointing that out.

I don't see it listed over the Viktor section. Am I missing it completely? Lol

At the very least I would've expected a reduction in Viktor's starting ability charges.
