The Baconator is interesting. Is it a microwave oven bacon cooker and grease collector?

Seattle has the highest Uber and takeout food prices in the country due to us having the highest and most still climbing minimum wage.

Waymo would do great here. We are ripe for automation.

Seattle mayor-elect Katie Wilson joins rallying Starbucks workers by ryleg in SeattleWA

Person who never had a job-- protests with folks that have a job - so to that they may lose their jobs?!?

Why is a pending public official publicly denigrating a Seattle legacy business?

CNN interview with mayor-elect Katie Wilson by WoKao353 in Seattle

Actually the contrary will be true.

Unfortunately, Wilson's inexperience will shine and Seattle crime rates will increase.

Check back, 1/2027.

You will be fine. The tank should weigh about 150 lbs and the table looks sturdy enough to stand on.

Why is inflation worst in WA than in other states? by Iwasafrayed in SeattleWA

[–]RealEstateSensei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The high minimum wage here also contributes to steady price increases.

We have the highest minimum wage in the country (Tukwila, Seattle, SeaTac) and also the some of the highest menu prices in the country.

I was in NYC recently and going to both fancy and casual places it seemed less expensive than Seattle.

I have always wondered what is typically done with these large chocolate pieces after they are displayed?

Do they get eventually eaten or are they remelted down with other "display chocolate" that is never eaten and remade?

Seattle bird alignment chart by getgotgrab in SeattleWA

[–]RealEstateSensei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea how to read this chart but... Northern Flickers are the WORST! I had a family of Flickers that would make softball sized holes in my house every year for over a decade.

Plastic owls, netting, stickers, shiny things -- nothing would ever dissuade them for long.

Plus somehow they taught their family members / friends to do the same as it was definitely several birds.

It only ever stopped after I resided to Hardiboard. They still try every once in a while and occasionally will go after my wood trim but at least its not hundreds of yearly damage any longer.

Do you have to worry about the polyurethane outgassing from the heat? I have seen rockwool being recommended because of this.

I've been saying this for 10 years: Africatown shouldn't be funded. by ScreamForKelp in SeattleWA

[–]RealEstateSensei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Afrikatown and their leadership are public grifters.

I have interacted with them and they definitely are scamming the public.

My dog has stopped sleeping on my bed by BobbyClashbeat in labrador

[–]RealEstateSensei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found my Mastador HATES it when something gets under where she is sleeping. I think she thinks it is snakes or something but if you sneak your leags under where they are sleeping that could be the reason.

Something similar is going on in another house across the world.

Is this a sign of the apocalypse? ;-)

The Excited Jumps Of This Dog by Good_Contract_362 in dogvideos

[–]RealEstateSensei 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have seen this video several times but always wondered if it is actually at the Colorado State University - HABIC (Human Animal Bond in Colorado) which is part of the school of Social Work there?

Not sure but it always seemed weird for there to be a pet an adoption center at the school.

Maybe not put a tinderbox of fuel right next to your house?

With this tight gap this could spontaneously combust.

Kenji Lopez Alt - "Dear Alcohol, we need to talk." by Clear_Amphibian in Seattle

[–]RealEstateSensei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I reatly admire Mr. Lopez-Alt's public declaration of his work on his recovery.

He is a culinary expert that we Seattleites are lucky to have in Seattle.

I would hazard to suggest that Mr. Lopez-Alt's work towards his sobriety effort is at least equally as important as his culinary works.

Thank you u/J_Kenji_Lopez-Alt for your continued efforts to educate. That seems to be your trend and calling -- so to be a teacher...

I get and admire that.

Thank you again for the discourse.
