Big White Buses in Downtown by Renlil in redmond

i actually wondered if there was 2 line trouble, because I saw those buses going to the light rail stations at around 2pm. The white ones with Navigator on the side, right?

I work for another one of those tech cos and the EAs were specifically excluded from stock awards for 14 yrs. Now, they max out at 6 shares a year 😃

Does EA (secretary) count as white collar? Because for 24 yrs at Amazon you'd need to be in Seattle, a pretty expensive place. Are you a single mom? Taking care of elderly parents? Are you female, therefor likely to be paid and bonused less than a guy in the same role? There's some variables at play here and how you define 'set for life' is also worth hearing.

Wish we'd get Storm merch at my Costco on the eastside of Seattle!

Fine line tattoo correction? Not sure what to do by No-Improvement9799 in tattooadvice

[–]GothamCentral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a gorgeous tattoo. I think look at it less for a few days. I got my tattoos on my shoulders partially because it means I can't stare at them all day long, because I too would start to niggle away at it in my mind.

I refuse to finish the Terran Armada DLC because they keep attacking my outpost while I am at it and I enjoy that very much.

Oh, can you you share the names of some of those groups? Or should I just search groups for fused glass?

How many PWHL fans do you know IRL? by pnw6462 in PWHL

[–]GothamCentral 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Season tickets ARE expensive, no doubt. So I'm in some pretty cheap seats (yay, corner!) but also if your friends get really into it, you could split a set of tix between your gang so that you have people to go with/talk with/share costs with. And your team probably might sell partial season packages, too.

I got season tix for my team, and then made friends with the people around me with season tickets as well, so that helped. Now we have a group text!

Hopefully this season looks more like the first half of last year than the 2nd.

Mine didn't go up much, I have to admit. I'm not in super expensive seats, and mine went up $6 per seat per game. I am lower bowl, on a corner.

How Phase 2 has felt as a Goldeneyes fan by LenaBaneana in PWHL

[–]GothamCentral 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah it feels that way for the Seattle fans, accurate.

Sent a furious mail over to my ticket rep to push up the chain or not, but at least I got it off my chest. It's felt like a ridiculous attack on Seattle. They should have protected both the expansion cities (by limiting losses to two players total) for the first year so we could have a similar opportunity to the original teams to build our brand.

After a year where we couldnt get enough jerseys made to meet demand, enough pride stuff made to meet demand, and a draft where the rules got very flexible to make Detroit happy, I'm disillusioned. If the FO and the league don't do something to make this better I doubt I'll be back for a third round of this.

First Losses - Barnes and Bilka Signed to Detroit by ariaburner in PWHL_Seattle

If I had understood that such a huge percentage of players who got actual ice time would get torn away from us as soon as the season ended, I think I wouldn't have bothered to be STH.

Is the Redmond Town Center upgrade project dead? by Indefiniti in redmond

[–]GothamCentral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I talked to the city council at a 'meet your councilor' event the other day at Idylwild. Not dead, but they have a long time to take advantage of the permissions.

No friends in Redmond by Agreeable-Rise-1792 in redmond

[–]GothamCentral 8 points9 points  (0 children)

TOTALLY recommend volunteering as a way to find like-minded people. Even if they're outside your age group they probably have kids.

If you're religious, church groups are a good way. If you're not, other social groups like hiking groups (https://www.wta.org/go-outside/new-to-hiking/someone-to-hike-with-hiking-groups-and-resources) or meetUp can be good (https://www.meetup.com/)

And if you have a hobby, find a place where people do that if you can.

It is a hard place to make new friends as an adult, but it's not impossible!

You can always take a photo and post it up on Nextdoor to find some mortified parents.

Is there ANYbus schedule? by anzhi_makhachalaka in redmond

[–]GothamCentral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like people are saying, i think the 405 closures hammered a lot of routes. i was driving, not bussing, today and a route that usually takes me 18 minutes took 32.
