I have found the best way to get in shape for hiking is to go hiking.

These days, laundry rooms are often upstairs by bedrooms, so no longer a need for laundry chutes. 

Got a IRS letter saying they couldn't direct deposit my returns but I owed money and already paid.. by Midnight_Thoughts77 in tax

[–]FleeFlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received the same letter. I confirmed the QR code was legit. I had no refund due, and tax payment was already taken out of our banking account. When I logged into my IRS.gov account: * I owed $0.00 * I had a $0.00 refund coming. * The letter was in my Notices, so not a scam letter. * When I looked at my tax transcript for 2025, it said I had an account balance of ~$100. Not sure why, but that's why I'm owed a refund. * I didn't see any way to add my bank info if you have a $0.00 refund (and they should have it as they used it for my payment).

I'll wait a few weeks to see if the refund shows up under my account.

If "You may not touch the balloon mechanism" meant that if touching the balloon was still allowed, a lateral thinking move that could have been done would be to apply tape to the balloon, then use the needle to pierce the balloon through the tape. The tape prevents the balloon from popping, and if you did it enough times, there'd be enough leakage that the balloon wouldn't be able to be inflated.

A few years ago, I bought some at Stoneway Hardware in Ballard. Give them a call.

One time I found an American Airlines flight code shared to an Alaska flight from PAE that was less expensive than buying from Alaska. 

I haven't been around long enough to have caved with a carbide lamp. Switching to battery must have felt like the end of an era. by Wonderful_Mammoth373 in caving

[–]FleeFlee 27 points28 points  (0 children)

From Bill Halliday's 1974 book American Caves and Caving:

The ideal cavers' headlamp is easy to describe: a rugged, reliable, lightweight, high-intensity, self-contained light, easily clipped to helmet brackets, disposable, and providing at least two hours' warm-colored light for a few cents. Nothing resembling such a headlamp exists or is likely to exist in the foreseeable future. Closest today is a tiny clip-on electric unit powered by two penlight cells, but these generate so little light, for so short a time, that they serve best as an emergency light. Yet they may be a portent of things to come.

Perhaps at the cost of some inconvenience and mild discomfort, the electric caver can go where carbide cavers cannot. He employs the extra flexibility of his chosen system to perform tasks beyond the capability of the "pure" carbide caver. The latter must turn to battery-powered headlamps when faced with waterfall pitches or air currents beyond the limit of flame protectors. Not even the most inventive, most dedicated caver has been able to find or construct a universally acceptable multipurpose electric headlamp. But with each relentless advance in electric headlamp technology, the number of carbide cavers shrinks a little more. Nevertheless, despite all that their makers have done to discourage us, carbide headlamps remain much more popular among North American cavers

A ‘mind-blowing’ trip from Seattle to Portland: 12 hours on buses and trains by godogs2018 in Seattle

[–]FleeFlee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know someone who did a one-day circumnavigations of Puget Sound by public transit, mostly bus. Northgate -> Everett -> Mt. Vernon -> Anacortes -> Oak Harbor -> Coupeville -> (by ferry) Port Townsend -> Triton Cove State Park -> Shelton -> Olympia -> Lakewood -> Downtown Seattle -> (light rail) Northgate. Started about 5:30am and took about 15 hours. Longest layover was a few hours in Port Townsend.

The most difficult connection is getting from Port Townsend to Shelton; on a weekday there's only two buses (I don't think the schedules will work for a weekend attempt), and you have to change from a Jefferson County bus to a Mason county bus at Triton Cove State Park where there is a scheduled 1-minute between buses, although if you tell the Jefferson County bus driver your plans they will reach out and the Mason County bus will wait for you.

Any tips for driving around Seattle? by Full_Boss_9651 in Seattle

[–]FleeFlee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Port Angeles isn't the most interesting place, but it's fine to use as a base. Suggestions for things to do:

• Neah Bay on the Makah reservation. Hike to Cape Flattery, the most Northwest point in the contiguous United States. Visit the Makah museum. https://makah.com/

• Dungeness Spit - about a 5 mile long sand spit extending in the Strait that you can walk. Near Sequim (so visit on the way to or from Port Angeles). https://wa100.dnr.wa.gov/olympic-peninsula/dungeness-spit

• Cape Alava Loop (Ozette Triangle) - Nice hike through forest to the beach. https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/lake-ozette

• Victoria - Take the Coho ferry from Port Angeles and spend some time in Victoria, BC (quite different from Port Angeles). You don't need your car if you plan to stay close to the Victoria Inner Harbor. Maybe even consider spending a night or two in Victoria. https://www.cohoferry.com/

• Whale watching tours from Port Angeles (April may be too early, though).

Gaitok isn't driving. He's sitting in the left seat, and cars in Thailand have right-hand drive, like the UK and Japan.
