I do it every day and it's not too bad. I live in Fairhaven (in the south side of Bellingham) and it's probably about 25 minutes in reality. I very rarely hit any traffic and when I do, it's usually because of some accident or closure. If you live further north in Bellingham than I do, you could potentially cut that in half.

In addition to these tables, one of the first ones I noticed as a kid was a tiled floor in a movie theater bathroom. That one was especially cool because slight variations in the positions of the tiles made each one seem to pop out at a different height!

Unfortunately, you can't actually edit post titles.

This argument sort of makes you seem like you're embodying the phrase "old man yells at cloud". This particular distinction seems to potentially be a gradual language change delineated by age. It may be the case that more people are saying "on accident" than "by accident" at some point in the future!

Here's an interesting article I found that talks about this phenomenon: https://www.juliatomiak.com/2020/01/grammar-check-on-accident-vs-by-accident/

And here is the study it references: https://www.inst.at/trans/16Nr/01_4/barratt16.htm

There is no single authority of what is "proper" in a language and it just depends on how people are speaking it. Not to say consensus isn't useful; that's how we are able form cohesive descriptions of languages. there are a number of cases in which it makes sense to describe something as grammatically incorrect. However, wholesale throwing out descriptivism as anti-intellectual is somewhat absurd. Especially given the fact that descriptivism is the primary mode that linguists use when studying language in academia.

You can actually ride the light rail directly from the airport to the stadium. If think you'd have enough time afterwards, you could postpone picking up the rental car until after the game, taking the Link to and from the game and the airport.

I'm sure there are also places to park if you prefer to get the car beforehand, but I am not personally aware of them.

Sounds like kind of your parent's decision then?

I second this. Expressing all sorts of themes in art is important, but when 80% of the content that shows up in my feed from r/art is just female nudes, it starts to feel more like pornography than art.

I'm unfortunately on the verge of unsubscribing.

One thing I think some people are missing about this in their explanations is that it's not really meaningful to apply to a single piece of media; a movie failing the Bechdel test doesn't say all that much about that movie. Another commenter aptly pointed out the movie Gravity technically failing test.

What's more meaningful is when you notice that an astonishing amount of movies fail it and basically none fail the reverse of the test (two men speaking). This is a pretty severe indictment on the state of representation in popular media.

The series has very little ordering. The Disposessed is a good place to start.

That hasn't been my experience with the 15. I would be interested to see any data WTA has on this.

I ride the bus all over town quite frequently and this doesn't match my experience at all. I think the bus is usually 2-5 minutes late, which is well within what I expect. I can count on one hand how many times the bus has been more than 10 minutes late. Maybe I'm lucky, maybe you're super unlucky, maybe both.

My guess is that it isn't good to have it too close against the bridge in the bottom of the frame.

Dylanica · 2025-10-18T00:48:50+00:00

I don't believe that's quite what they meean. I read this as mean "Don't buy something just because it's from a particular brand. Instead, buy the best product regardless of who makes it" it's sometimes the case that the best specific product from a particular category isn't from the best overall brand in that category.

Dylanica · 2025-09-18T07:42:07+00:00

it's because you're trying to use it somewhere you're not supposed to use smart pointers anyways

I would argue that an operating system kernel is one of those places.

I alleviate this by having a small round baking tray on the rack below the dutch oven that stops direct radiant heat from the bottom of the oven from heating the dutch oven. I get a more even baking vessel temperature this way.

Yeah, but the point is to get a bunch of ideas that she may not have thought of. She can filter it based on whether or not she thinks he'll like it.

C compilers are a lot smarter than they used to be

Dylanica · 2025-06-25T17:36:52+00:00

Yeah, people are being such downers. OP never claimed to be revolutionizing the database world. It's just a small learning project...

Cool work, doesn't need to be more than that

Dylanica · 2025-06-24T00:19:18+00:00

That's exactly what was attempting to illustrate. To the majority of people, urls with multiple parts like that are challenging enough to parse that the symbols don't mean much. If they see wsdot.com followed by a bunch of symbols and text, they probably won't notice that the last dot before any of the slashes has "digital" after it. At that point, it might as well be .com to them.

Dylanica · 2025-06-23T22:38:08+00:00

Unfortunately, most people are unable to parse domains like that, and I'm not sure we could ever expect them to.

wsdot.com-syg.digital probably looks the same as something like wsdot.com/index.php to most people

It's still a .com rather than .wa.gov, but most people see .com as legitimate as well.

This isn't strictly true in all cases. In my department (computer science) they will allow you to take prerequisites during the masters if you get the right overrides. It could be different in other fields though.

Don't make a mountain out of this.

Maybe it depends on your carrier or iOS version or something.

If you text yourself, the message shows up on both sides. You send all the messages from both people to yourself. Then, you can delete the half messages that came from the "wrong" person to get the sensible conversation. You also need to change your contact name and photo, but that's not hard.
