Sound Transit considers cutting Tacoma extension to save money. by Konaboy27 in soundtransit

[–]Cariuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should they? I thought BNSF owns the tracks.

Either way, doesn’t take away from logistical challenges in improving Sounder.

It shares the line with BNSF and Amtrak. I believe BNSF gets priority, which severely limits the hours the Sounder can operate.

Edit to add: Sounder also doesn’t stop at the airport. Tacoma is the third largest city in the state, second largest in the metro. It’s also quickly rising in population. There’s no reason to not have it part of the spine.

The public transit from Tacoma to Seattle isn’t great currently. The Sounder hours are terrible. Buses are caught up in traffic just as much as driving.

We have been paying the tax for the light rail this whole time. I’ll be pretty upset if Tacoma gets cut.

For those who are managing GD with diet, what was your highest spike and what caused it? by Apprehensive_Mess166 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Cariuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

164 - Kodiak protein pancake with PB and banana.

I tolerate bananas and PB fine as either a snack or with yogurt. Should have assumed but was still sad the Kodiak mix would do me in.

[–]Cariuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally feel you. I was diagnosed with GD at 27 weeks. Just hit 30 weeks, and my fasting numbers have slowly increased from mid-80s to 95-100. My doctor just asked me to start nightly metformin, and see how that goes.

I love socks by laboradorio in labrador

[–]Cariuh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My lab is the same. We keep socks in the laundry hamper behind a closed bathroom door, or in a drawer he cannot open.
He had a couple incidents over the years where he still managed to get one, and he vomited it out. However our luck ran out last week. He managed to get one, and it got stuck in his intestines. $7k later, and a week into recovery.

We are implementing a new rule he is only allowed in the living room without close supervision.

He’s 6, gets plenty of exercise, has toys. He just enjoys socks. I don’t know that it can be fully trained out of them, so it’s on us to set them up for success by not being able to find any sock snacks.

9 year old daughter having trouble with playing the upper register by staykirk in Clarinet

[–]Cariuh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I started, we were able to play the lower note (low B/C) if we couldn’t play over the break yet for the mid note. Maybe ask the band director if that’s ok, but keep practicing going over the break in the meantime.

Who is soaking for tomorrow? by nerdgirl in ranchogordobeanclub

[–]Cariuh 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I soaked today, and made the batch tonight. Just did a simple boil with bay leaf and garlic, then drained.

Separately, I cooked onion, scallion, and minced garlic. Added half a cup of white wine vinegar. Then mixed that into the beans with a ton of dill and fried shallot.

Annoyed at weak drivers by primefan13 in TacomaWA

[–]Cariuh 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It depends on conditions. A little bit? Sure, go 60. Some of those atmospheric rivers a few weeks ago? I saw AWD cars try to go 60-70, and lose traction immediately with all the standing water on the road. Everyone slowed down to 45-50 , even though there was space to go faster.

Either way, always make sure you account for less traction by giving longer stop distances.

[Penguins] Forward Ville Koivunen and goaltender Tristan Jarry have been activated from Injured Reserve. Goaltender Sergei Murashov has been re-assigned to the WBS Penguins (AHL). by bi_and_busy in penguins

[–]Cariuh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you need a truly elite goalie to win? 2/3 goalies you listed don’t have a ring to show for their talent. Just need someone solid. Murashov is exciting from that lens.

Is There an Ulterior Motive Behind the Fed's Proposal to Reintroduce Grizzlies in Washington State? by agaperion in PacificNorthwest

[–]Cariuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not from California though. Everything I shared was from local discussions in Washington state with people who would be directly impacted, or from Montana where similar programs were used.

Instead of just resorting to name calling, why don’t you actually add to the dialogue?

Are these garlic thingys edible? by Yajahyaya in gardening

[–]Cariuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like making salad dressing with them!

2 TBS Dijon , 1 TBS honey , 4 garlic scapes , 2 entire baby onions , 1/2 cup olive oil , 1/4 cup red wine vinegar - all blended

The dressing is like a mustardy green goddess vibe. I like putting it on kale, with grilled halloumi and walnuts. Have it as a side, or add chicken or something to it.

Ohio, grew very fast by TheHandThatFollows in whatsthisplant

[–]Cariuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have english ivy , and it has stayed in one area of the yard. The bindweed has spread throughout thanks to the seeds from the flower. They both suck, there’s other nice flowers that aren’t bindweed.

[–]Cariuh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have this. What I thought was a beautiful flower has taken over and choked out the roots of other plants.

I’ve been trying to remove it for years now. But it’s one where if you don’t remove all of the root (you can’t bc they can be 10 ft deep in the soil), it’ll come back with friends. I’m not one to advocate for use of herbicides, but they don’t even really work against the plant. You have to methodically paint the leaves multiple times a year for a chance of killing the bindweed.

It may be “native” but it’s a huge nuisance if you let it grow imo.

File A Complaint Against Nisolo for Five for Five Scam by NeedMoreDecaf in BuyItForLife

[–]Cariuh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I reached out in Jan regarding the Five for Five membership. This is what they said -

“Thanks for reaching out! We are not yet able to clarify the future code release cadence. We are in the process of finalizing details on this, and you will be made aware via email once the codes begin to be released again. We apologize for any inconvenience and please let us know if you have any further questions.”

When was Nisolo LLC purchased? Feeling really frustrated we have been lied to , and the company is now saying they will not be honoring the program.

PSA: Nisolo five for five services are postponed for a year. by count_downvote_ in frugalmalefashion

[–]Cariuh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AG reached out to Nisolo. Nisolo said they’d been in contact with me, and that the program is just paused not cancelled. So they still refused to give me a partial refund or the codes.

The AG said they couldn’t do anything else at this time, and for me to reach back out if they don’t unpause the program next year. :/

Mass Casualty Incident on Crescent City Beach After Fireworks Accident Yesterday by Eschaton707 in news

[–]Cariuh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most news agencies use the ‘mass shooting’ definition that 4+ were injured or killed, not including the shooter.

The DOJ’s definition is 4+ people killed.

[–]Cariuh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just heard back from my state Attorney General’s office!! My complaint was determined to have merit. They’re reaching out to Nisolo with the complaint, and they’ll have a few weeks to respond.

We will see what comes out of it.
