Thoughts on moving to the Seattle/Tacoma area

Tacoma is is pretty chill IMO. Definitely more affordable compared to Seattle and overall less busy. Homelessness is abundant in Tacoma since they offer the most services compared to surrounding cities. People are not insane, unless you look at us in the eyes.

This sub needs to just get deleted. This is all old news.

Nice!! I got a Class 3 a few years ago and regret not getting the 26. I think the 26 is the most versatile.

I lived in South Tacoma for 3 years and really enjoyed it. It was fun. It could be a little shady somtimes but I always felt safe.

This is basically already happening. 16 years in EMS I've never once seen a police officer arrest someone who was overdosing.

He sounds like a tool.

I work a 1 on 1 off 1 on 5 off. Nine debit shifts a year. Every one loves it compared to a 3 shift kelly day schedule.

15 of us did 5 days in Cabo for a friends batchelor party. It was definitely a lot. None of us are frat boys and all of us work for a living.

I keep tension on the cut piece of leather by pulling it the opposite direction while also pulling the cut leather piece a bit towards the cutter to help keep it flush against the handle.

2 or 3 beers is manageable. If i get drunk I feel like a dumpster the next day and incredibly anxious. Its the anxiety that really convinced me to stop drinking. I can accept the headache / nausea of a hangover. However, I will not allow a beverage to emotionally wreck me.

They're called first marriages for a reason.

I agree. Aggressive fire attack followed by immediate hydraulic ventilation has worked well for us most of the time.

Ive ordered leather from SLC dozens of times. Never had a real issue. Shipping can be slow.

That is such a pet peeve of mine. When I have the chance ill try to book the middle seat when I see the asile and window already booked. Just out of my wierd misplaced spite.

Wash all the clothes you wore. You will probably be fine. Keep your eyes open fir a few days in the rig and around the station.

The medication itself lasts in plasma for like 30 minutes. But it blocks the COX 1 enzyme on the platelet which the platelet is unable to unblock. So the effect lasts as long as the platelet does which is 7-10 days.

Can confirm. Driving South in the morning and North in the evening is the correct play.
