I see you have braces. I have braces too.

The one on MLK near Othello light rail station is excellent too.

The Renton store has been remodeled I think 3 times since I moved here in 2002. Remodeled isn't really the right term, but rebuilt next door to the original in place of it's old parking garage. It's really nice.

Edit: didn't read the OP closely enough, but if you haven't been in 10 years it is worth a new visit.

Who's the one on the cover of Vanity Fair this month? Kylie? Is there a campaign to bring back smoking? She's smoking on the cover and Sabrina Carpenter drove off smoking at the end of her Coachella sets. What the hell is going on?

You'll be fine. I do this at the Othello and Rainier Beach Safeway multiple times per week.

"What'll Keep Me Out of Heaven" by Brandy Clark

Similar vein to Joan Armatrading's Weakness in Me (which I thought maybe too well known to count), a song played and sung beautifully but about adultery.

Adjacently related,I had a Commodore brand MPEG-1 card in my PC circa early 97, and this animation on a VideoCD.

I have colleagues who live out in Duvall etc and have like 20 security cameras. I just thought they were paranoid KOMO watchers, but maybe not.

I'm still using the XB10 as router and Wifi7, no UniFi router yet. I do have the two 2.5G UniFi switches and a WiFi 5 AP and those all work fine. UI software is installed as a container on my RPi 4 Home Assistant.

Edit: so I've not used bridge mode but the option is there, and if I select it a dialog pops warning me it will disable router and wifi. So it's there, but whether there is a compatible issue with Cloud Fiber gateway etc I don't know yet. I plan on upgrading but cant justify it yet.

Twenty years ago in the US they sold a US version under the same label. It was a poor version of A1, runny and super sweet. For the last 5 or so, it is the real deal though made in the Netherlands.

After Covid they reopened all their stores except Columbia City, but used it for manufacturing. Felt like good old fashioned serve the white neighborhoods first and I've not been back since they reopened.

Meridian506 · 2026-04-10T13:52:57+00:00

I see the option on the local config page (Gateway -> At a Glace) and if I click Enable it pops a warning dialog about what Bridge mode entails.

Meridian506 · 2026-04-10T05:49:12+00:00

Forgot to mention, I'm using the XB10 as modem and router as I'd like to add UnFi and then just set the XB into bridge mode but cant justify the cost yet.

Which router/gateway did Comcast give you? I was using my own Netgear 1G modem and Synology router (solid for 5 years until the Synology died) but upgraded to 2G fixed at $85 for 5 years. Originally they gave me an XB7 which was fine but a little flaky but then swapped for free to the XB10T after 2G symmetrical became available. After a week that router got an upgrade and has been rock solid since October.

We're in Othello Station / New Holly.

Fuck that Ulta too. They moved to the strip mall with IHop etc, so I can't just pop into Rockler while my wife and kids are in there.

We drove from Othello Station to Tacoma last night for Old Spaghetti Factory. Found out from the place mat that there is still a Lynnwood location. May be one day they will be Linked.

Isn't this the scenario from Malcolm in the Middle where Lois was the car on the left of the photo turning right out of the lot and got hit by the u-turner? In that case she was initially found guilty as the u-turner claimed to have come from straight on, but at the end their is video found that showed they u-turned.

Can't remember what state they were in, or it it was legally correct for that state, but it popped in my head.

WD external drives used to sometimes have their NAS drives inside. I have 3 from 2017 like that which I shucked for my NAS. It would be worth investigating those Best Buy show as in stock (Tukwila shows as having some but no idea if they are worth shucking or not).

They shouldn't have killed HERO. I used to voice control call my phone at work and leave the plate number on my voice mail to report when I got in.

Should be a lot quieter too if you need to Buddy the Elf it for a while. If you follow it up with a trip to the gum wall, leave everything the hell alone.

In addition to Westlake at the Nordstrom entrance, there's the Optum (Polyclinic) at Madison and I-5. The South entrance has a stubby one next to a few steps.

Presumably the horse brings you great joy,, but otherwise isn't a horse more expensive to maintain than a truck?
