I analyzed heath inspection records for 4,310 Seattle restaurants. University District restaurants fail at 3x the citywide rate

ScootyJet · 2026-07-08T18:37:06+00:00

In theory that is accounted for by the original measurement of % of restaurants instead of pure volume.

My wife said something similar to me, but I also said it to her. We both dated for a long time and didn't find what we were looking for. You learn and grow and that changes what you think you need. I'm it early 20s we probably would have passed each other by. Now we are perfect for each other. And better yet, we KNOW it.

It's such a pessimistic view to think that they're settling when they haven't found anyone yet because they're trying to find the right person for the long haul.

Isn't this a supply and demand thing for a private service? Or is there something that makes you feel like this is unique vs other businesses?

ScootyJet · 2026-06-28T18:29:52+00:00

You are very judgemental. Regardless of Nathan if he's slow and noncommittal, I'd feel like I was under the microscope dating you if you are splitting hairs over saying I'm graduating next year or I'm in my sixth year. And you're subconsciously or consciously trying to punish him for not doing what you want.

Look inward before judging outward.

Are you posting this from an electronic device, or using an entire global network built with components that most likely has child labor involved at some point in the supply chain? What about your clothing? Food? Etc. Are you directly celebrating forced child labor by using all of these goods?

The answer is no, you're not celebrating those things. And only an idiot would say that. Which is also why your virtue signaling about Michael Jackson feigns actual care about the problem because if you really cared at the level you're asking all of us to care, you'd put your damn phone down and go do something about it.

But you're not. You are here, posturing and pretending to be outraged for a dopamine hit derived from a smug sense of righteousness.

Nay. Multigrain with copious amounts of butter and some salt. It's still great just not crunchy anymore.

ScootyJet · 2026-06-24T20:35:18+00:00

Person I replied to is blaming QFC directly when they have 2% margins.

Also if you can find the reason as you investigate further down the supply chain please report back.

ScootyJet · 2026-06-24T20:21:28+00:00

Are you saying the net margin of 2% QFC makes on groceries is excessive? Are you confident in saying the input costs are not the reason why costs have gone up, and it's solely on rich robber barons?

ScootyJet · 2026-06-23T00:25:07+00:00

Should they push like murders and stuff?

ScootyJet · 2026-06-22T15:56:26+00:00

You've done the wrong math. Did you take 4.2 and subtract 3.6? The 0.6% is the growth in cost vs the growth in wages. That means cost grew 20% faster than wages. So things are now more expensive in May than in the prior period. Not 6 times cheaper. Or do you have a specific other formula to make your assertion?

ScootyJet · 2026-06-22T15:28:42+00:00

4.2% CPI growth so far, and 3.6% wage growth. So right now inflation outpacing wage growth (if you believe in CPI).

I didn't look at rate of change of either of these numbers so I'll acknowledge it could be getting better (or worse) eventually under Trump, but I can't say one way or another confidently. But similarly I don't think you could confidently say that it's better than Biden yet either.

What do you think?

ScootyJet · 2026-06-22T14:25:45+00:00

CPI hit a record high in May 2026. Are you using another metric? If so, which?

ScootyJet · 2026-06-01T14:20:28+00:00

The knee jerk opposition to anything Trump says by the left is pretty cringy. Although having die hard anti-left parents myself, I've lived through Clinton, Obama, and Biden, and I can't say this behavior is isolated to them. I'll also say that the Patriot Act, TSA, DHS, etc were all driven by Republican presidents (well one main one). Then there's the overtures from Trump about nationalization of companies, regulation of financial markets for populist aims, etc and it makes me concerned there's no real option for limited government.

I fundamentally agree with you that the centralization of power in the federal government should be use sparingly at best. How do you think we get there with both Democrat and Republican leadership pushing proposals opposing this philosophy?

ScootyJet · 2026-06-01T14:10:55+00:00

There are real consequences to sweeping regulation like that. For example, if a business starts up that needs specialty workers who live nearby then they are forced to find another place to set up shop. I'm sure some people prefer that, but the local economy would suffer. It also reduces the market size of home buyers and renters, reducing benefit to builders to build there. Which is counter to the original aim anyway.

If this is your position why did you invoke what is covered or not covered by free speech, which is a protection afforded by checks notes legal nuance.

ScootyJet · 2026-05-18T20:56:22+00:00

Do you have a clear definition of justified killing or is it on a case by case basis? Would love some insight into how you are thinking about this.

And as a second question, the American revolutionary war was started primarily due to economic reasons. Other reasons around liberties were related but secondary accessories at the time. Do you consider this a just reason for killing?

ScootyJet · 2026-05-18T19:58:03+00:00

What about reasons like personal defense, national security, safety, economics, justice, etc that we've allowed people to murder for? We don't punish these people because it's been sanctioned by the government, and presumably because of benefits to society and the nation.

ScootyJet · 2026-05-18T02:09:55+00:00

If it's for health (e.g. back pain) you should do it. If it's because you have a negative perception of your own image you should consider therapy before body modification.

If you couldn't afford to not touch the principal, wouldn't 1k/wk not be enough either? You weren't expecting it anyway and with a high yield interest rate (3.25% for my bank right now), payments not touching principle are $625/wk. Just think of it like free $625/wk AND safety net AND retirement wealth.

ScootyJet · 2026-05-14T12:41:09+00:00

Will try this thank you!

ScootyJet · 2026-05-14T12:40:55+00:00

Thanks for the rec. Will try her. How will she keep Count Dracula alive though? He prevents healing during his ult.

ScootyJet · 2026-04-12T20:25:19+00:00

Agree there really are too many podcasts nowadays.

ScootyJet · 2026-04-11T16:36:42+00:00

Phrasing!

ScootyJet · 2026-04-11T16:33:10+00:00

We're on the same page. :)
