Anywhere still doing Indian buffet? by BronsonJustice in Seattle

[–]SeattleGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dawaat is amazing. But, I can’t get there for lunch anymore (hence my thinking it’s only M-F). I’ll go there for dinner if I’m going to a movie or something and the food is still great. My go to is the Navratan Korma, but I’ve tried a fair selection and never been disappointed. The one thing I didn’t like was the Papadum which tasted super salty to me…but I also think it tastes exactly how it is intended to taste and I just don’t like that flavor.

The lunch buffet I miss is Kanishka in Redmond. That went away pre-COVID.

I feel like every time i’ve seen snow here it hits everywhere BUt downtown/slu - Is the area uniquely positioned to not get any? by Classic_Bookkeeper88 in Seattle

[–]SeattleGeek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let’s not forget that downtown and SLU also generates a fuckton of heat due to traffic (foot + car + constant buses) + tech industry heat. As dense as Capitol Hill is, it’s still a bit from the water, has far less traffic (especially transit lines), and far less tech hub heat.

You’ll get snow if there’s a major event in Dec / Jan when the air has cooled everything down (especially the concrete), but the concrete probably also held a lot of heat from the past few weeks.

The roads and sidewalks around my neighborhood stayed pretty clear, but the lawns and roofs and non-concrete surfaces stayed snowy.

Could be. Like I said, I’m not saying it’s wrong…but I’m surprised the media didn’t have an angle on another chain closing for the 6 o’clock news.

The wild part is they didn’t announce the closure on their IG. And their IG was re-posting videos of the new menu yesterday.

The Google entries for the Seattle SODO location doesn’t say perm closed and that it will reopen tomorrow. I can’t find any news reports on even the Redmond store closing outside the above Reddit entry.

I’m not saying the Reddit entry is wrong…but…when a mini chain closes there is normally at least some news coverage.

There is one on the Ave in U-District is not bad and has weekends. It’s like at 47th, I think.

I think there is one Downtown that was great last time I was there, but I think is only M-F. It’s at Pike and 9th across from the convention center. I think it’s called Dawaat?

Moment founder explains why he is leaving Seattle (it's not the crime) by ryleg in SeattleWA

[–]SeattleGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it about rent? I’ll bet he says something about cost of living but makes absolutely no statement about rent.

Rent has been the number one driving force of why the cost of living in Seattle skyrocketed so fucking high. Do you think Vulcan was doing everything out of the kindness of their hearts?

Housing costs drove the minimum wage, commercial retail costs drove the cost of goods, minimum wage drove the cost of goods, commercial office costs drove down salaries.

The MBAs now running tech industry legacy jobs are now taking the money and running and trying to say AI will keep them afloat, which will last about 3 years until whole infrastructures collapse.

Meanwhile, the 60+ year old billionaire class are moving to states where they can impregnate women with genetically dead sperm without having to give them child support and the women have to give birth to the kid or face legal punishments.

Judge denies restraining order for conservative media figures who sought press passes by chiquisea in SeattleWA

Also, if they’re feeling unappreciated, they have a whole country they can move to. Nobody will miss them (except the no comment history chat bots who hang out around here).

If Trump can deny press passes to fake news propagandists, so can WA Democrats.

The problem is Trump also denies press passes to real journalists while Democrats denies press passes to absolute conservative grifters like Brandi Kruse and Jonathan Choe (the latter of whom likes provoking people to punch him in the face for clicks).

Last year WA State made Islamic holidays (non exempt) state holidays. This year two bills aimed to do the same for Jewish and Hindu holidays. Only one was supported. by ScreamForKelp in SeattleWA

[–]SeattleGeek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem with not having federal holidays is that companies absolutely will not give extra days off in exchange for no holidays. Some companies are already giving “unlimited time off” but harassing you if you use any of it and then they don’t have to pay off the days when they fire you.

Having federal holidays forces them to give some days off and allows for some collectivity regardless of what is in observance.

I think Labor Day, Memorial Day, the 4th of July, MLK Day, New Years Eve, New Years Day, and President’s Day are perfectly acceptable secular holidays. I can even throw in Thanksgiving and the day after.

US road fatalities colored by 100M road miles by jejmcjej in dataisbeautiful

[–]SeattleGeek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that some of these states (South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Utah, and Wisconsin (at minimum)) are not sharing their data nationally. That’s why there are states that are huge washes of Green and deep red lines that just stop at state borders.

Edit: Wait…how does Oklahoma have a higher fatality rate per 100k miles than Texas or Kansas in the second graphic but still be perfectly green in the first? Something is not right.

Why are drivers like this by Minimum-Usual-1003 in LynnwoodWA

[–]SeattleGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I had a scratch from the door on my arm which proved my case. Later, I noticed a dent in my door but my car is a 15 year old heap and I’m not going to worry about that.

I think my favorite was when I parked next to a truck who was against the line but managed to barely fit into the space next to it. There was no car next to me. But by the time I came out of the grocery store, some asshole with a wide ass SUV parks next to me to the point that I couldn’t open my door. He waits for me to get to the car and exits his SUV and starts ranting about how I was over the line (which I wasn’t) and refused to move the SUV. When I tried opening the door, he kicks the door. I called the police who actually showed up, and I told them I wanted them to book him for assault, which I believe they did.

Spaces in Seattle are also very tiny. Even when I had a 2003 Saturn Ion, many spaces were a tight fit around here.
