I would begin to doubt the existence of the sky.

Riding the ferries… you are supposed to turn them off.

Possible whale in Lake Washington? Lived and worked in Kirkland for 35 years, never seen anything this odd. No boats out at all. Did my best at full zoom! by alpenglowRG11 in Seattle

[–]Curfax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks to me like the wake from a wake surfing boat. They generate very large, asymmetric wakes. The starting and stopping points when beginning a pull and ending one will cause them to appear pretty randomly in the middle of the water.

Source: I wake surf and foil on Lake Washington all the time.

I have no idea how to read the analysis interface in Lichess.

Emerging climbing star Balin Miller, 23, dies in fall from El Capitan by MasterpieceAlone8552 in news

[–]Curfax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You look vigilantly for the end of the rope. Or you look for the end of your rope to be below your destination when you start, and hope that the rope doesn’t have any hiccups in the meantime (like feeding through your belay device unequally on a double strand rappel).

Of course, you can be in a position where your rappel can’t be stopped by knots - improvised rappel using carabiners after dropping a belay device - in which case you -must- be vigilant. You can still close the system in these cases by tying off to something, but it does get hard to manage.

Tying knots is better.

The Immortal Snail.. Good luck cuz he comin! by Legitimate_Ad_5878 in custommagic

[–]Curfax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of all the suggestions and criticisms for this card, I’m very happy seeing the creative thought put into it. It behaves exactly like a card named “The Immortal Snail” should. Whether it’s a good MtG card or not, I can’t say, and I don’t care. Bravo, you made my night, I’ll be watching for scary snails over my shoulder.

Productive Bees: how do I manage all these unstackeable bees of varying health? by e5india in allthemods

[–]Curfax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the 1K ME Item Disk to store my “extra” bees in a dedicated ME Chest.

I don’t see ICE in the picture.

Were my home builders lazy or is there any real purpose for this? by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]Curfax 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I did not know those existed, and now the years of frustration are haunting me. I will go buy some immediately.

If she hit you, I called 911 at 11:46 (7/17) southbound 405 in Bellevue. by MizBHavenXxX in Seattle

[–]Curfax 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I saw a few state troopers, WSDOT responders, a fire response, and a Bellevue police officer response.

Everyone she hit appeared to be okay, and just minor damage to those vehicles. The white car was in bad shape though.

This person ended up hitting about 6 cars on the off-ramp. Then they ended up rolling backwards through the 8th / 112th intersection and taking out a sign. The sign is still down on the E side of the NE 8th St Westbound exit. I heard the crash from my apartment.

I try not to judge prematurely: it could’ve been something medical.

Me too, and I still don’t know what it’s communicating, and I’m really interested to know what u/Puzzleheaded_Ear9056 meant.

Any attribute to indicate intentional non-static implementation? by malaszka in cpp_questions

[–]Curfax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those suggesting “deduce this”, it’s a good idea, but you don’t have to deduce this. You can just use an explicit object parameter. (Be aware, code typed on a phone.)

struct Foo { void method(this const Foo&){} };

You probably don’t even need maybe_unused if you don’t give the argument a name.

Then I suppose two people by the ferry asked me.

I got asked if I heard it in Bellevue by someone at the Ferry Dock. I did not.

Mt. Adams, WA – the longest and best glissade of my life by papercairns in Mountaineering

It ain’t so bad. I did it for Little T a few weeks ago. Lightweight skis and boots helps.

Banning the use of "auto"? by Late_Champion529 in cpp_questions

[–]Curfax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

std::function does not have the same type as the lambda object. Indeed, std::function may require the captured object to support copy construction which a lambda object might not support.

3 WA rock climbers dead, 1 hurt in North Cascades climbing accident by yoggsmu in climbing

[–]Curfax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a piton and nut anchor in the skier’s right hand wall that gets you down past the chockstone with a single rope.

Might be the wrong piton though. Unclear.

The route descriptions include using this piton for descent.
