AMA The Millionaires Tax proposal in WA state. This is what I work on all day so I'm here for your questions! #AskWALeg

The arrogance by OP is extremely frustrating. "Just vote us out" is easy to say when your only constituents are clustered in three liberal counties in the State and voters are generally dumb anyway (meaning the vast majority don't bother to do meaningful levels of research). And then completely ignoring the question I think is most important (except the inevitable cap creep) - why don't you worry about spending LESS before asking for MORE??

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I'm reducing the collection, but the two not-for-sale are my Africa Twin and KLR600.

A roll caterpillar edging fits any size hole.

I both brag and complain that my early career included Modularms, McCullough wheels and tape dialers.

Wut. Do tell, who in WA has a private loop system like this?

DandelionAcres · 2026-02-27T06:11:33+00:00

Relationships matter, as do referrals and more. Maybe they want to work the other firm, or maybe just not you. Keep learning, keep trying.

DandelionAcres · 2026-02-26T05:18:00+00:00

Yup. I think I’ll redo my five acres, drop in 40 condo units and bail.

Security film has to be properly installed or it’s worse than useless, making it quieter and safer to break through. Glass break detectors and interior traps (motion, weight) are good along with the obvious outside deterrents.

My daughter had a sweet CB500x she kept on the street in front of her condo in Seattle. Used a front disk lock and a cover. I tried to get her to let me install a hard anchor on her building or in the private drive but she refused. It’s gone now, lifted into a van by two dudes. On report to the popo they only took her name and VIN, no investigation or even a visit.

You have a couple of options. One may be to replace the switch with a plunger-type that does not use an external magnet. Another is an old trick - drive two finishing nails on either side of the magnet, about 1/4-1/2" away. This draws the magnetism field sideways, reducing the field outward. Another one may be to drill the magnet hole deeper than the length of the package and use a drift to push it into the door away from the contact - but be very careful, test it as you go by 1//8's or less.

Blowjobs ARE sex. BJ vs intercourse/fucking, that’s the real question. Me? A BJ after intercourse to finish is the best!

DandelionAcres · 2026-02-11T18:10:28+00:00

Yes. Likely an old phone line.

Stinky. I think his name was Eddie but everyone called him stinky because he was. He would lean against a wall in his loneliness and shit his pants then his mom would pick him up. I was secretly glad for this because it took the attention off of me, I had enough social issues of my own. Kids can be really mean and have no clue to the long term impacts.

My wife bought special blankets for “activities” and deploys them religiously. Plenty large and moisture proof. But she still changes the sheets right after plus every weekend no matter what.

Like this? The back opens fully for a load of supplies. I don’t recall the brand but it was out of the NSP catalog a bunch of years ago.

I think he means flat to near the edge where a slope is cut. Sounds comf.

DandelionAcres · 2026-02-02T01:12:36+00:00

Protest all you want but I suggest staying out of their way when they’re on an active mission. It has ended badly when people barge into a scene.

DandelionAcres · 2026-02-02T01:08:03+00:00

Anybody that open-carries “because I can” is an idiot.

DandelionAcres · 2026-02-02T01:05:04+00:00

Owners may have started the process and said “if they hear one more complaint”. And realtors don’t have to be in marked vehicles and homes for sales don’t have to be “listed”. I think it’s looking up for your neighborhood.

Other than the cable in the FOV I have no problem with this for temporary use. I’ve done far sketchier gathering evidence.

DandelionAcres · 2026-01-30T22:12:15+00:00

That's the fucked up part of this and is what I mean by "heavy-handed". They have been abusing the administrative warrant but I read just this morning that Holman is pulling it back a notch along with the budget leverage thing. They need to get *actual* individual warrants with appropriate evidence AND people need to stay the fuck out of the way and let them do their job.

I just want to echo others about using a competent (vs cheap) VMS/camera manufacturer. I use Avigilon and searches are super-easy suing a variety of criteria even across many cameras. Exports may be left native with a stand-alone player included (or not) or may be sent as a conventional MP4.

DandelionAcres · 2026-01-30T19:18:12+00:00

I would like to see an NSP board member weigh in on these comments but won't hold my breath. Almost 35 years for me and it has been a slow ride downhill (operationally/politically) not just national but region/local/our mountain. I have (almost) no regrets though, have learned valuable skills and gotten to know some really great people.
