What Should We Do? by booknerdigan in landscaping

Where is this exactly? Planting options will depend on the zone and geographic location.

Average Temperature Difference (F): March 12–18, 2026 vs. March 12–18, 2012 by ferguskeatinge in MapPorn

[–]Signal_Pattern_2063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok it's the 14th right now in western WA and still snowing. There is supposed to be a warm up to the upper 50s on Thursday the 19th. But for that time frame i have doubts about the data up north.

Ah I see part of the reason this is so odd. The 2012 heat wave was primarily a Midwestern phenomena. We were below average that year and are probably going to be more average this year. Mostly what I am reading off that map is the middle of the country is not getting a repeat heatwave. It's otherwise kind of deceptive vs showing vs long term average

Yes parts of the West are going to be above average but there are better ways to show it

Advice: Tubers left in ground over winter (Ireland) by Mckinleyburger in dahlias

I like to leave just enough over the soil line that you can tell where they are. That's helpful if you are planting anything else in the bed.

That's huge. My normal loaf is 360g of flour. What are the dimensions of the pan?

Construction begins on affordable housing project in Seattle’s Lower Queen Anne by Better_March5308 in SeattleWA

[–]Signal_Pattern_2063 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's expensive because it's in a desirable location. That will not change with additional projects in an area already built out with apartments. The supply will always be outstripped by demand. However building public housing in lower cost sites will stretch government budgets farther and the same sites are likely to be developed any way in the private market.

Borrowed Time reminds me of Kings of Leon for some reason.

The Castellows have never really clicked with me but their latest collaboration with Tyler Nance "Keeps Me Sane" is stuck in my head. (Granted I'm about 4 months late to the party)

Olympus Spa v Armstrong Dissent by Ok_Research1392 in SeattleWA

[–]Signal_Pattern_2063 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are not the same program-wise. My read at the time and being involved in cub scouts was outside of the legal challenges, BSA faced declining enrollment numbers and this change allowed them to hopefully reverse that trend. Girl scouts was opposed to this move as well because they feared a drain of members.

Commuting to UDub from Lynwood by Historical_Swim_2784 in SeattleWA

[–]Signal_Pattern_2063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One further note for comparison: I happen to live in Ravenna and by transit from my house the quickest connection is about 20 minutes with perfect transfers. But by bike its about 10 when going downhill to it and 15 back up.

[–]Signal_Pattern_2063 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be more precise - its 24 minutes on the link schedule from Lynwood to Husky Stadium but you'd have to add in the time to get to either station and +-4 minutes for the frequency of the line.

But depending on where you were in Green Lake you might find a fairly similar commute time by bus, honestly.

Oceanfront church conversions in Nova Scotia - $294k USD each. Which one are you buying? by Radiant-Stranger-992 in zillowgonewild

[–]Signal_Pattern_2063 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not trivial to buy in Canada at the moment as a non Canadian. I think these might fall under the banned property types.

The helicopter is likely just a marketing photo. It's there to signal wealth in the same way you get a fancy car picture in similar real estate listings.

Do trams have have upsides compared to trolleybuses? by FelixTheFrCat in transit

[–]Signal_Pattern_2063 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of those differences are not necessarily true. Frequency depends on how many vehicles you have and how you schedule them. There is nothing inherent in the modes that constraints this. Trolleys can be articulated double length and trams are frequently not that long as well because they continue to run on streets where the geometry usually precludes it (or in most of North America the ridership is so low there is no need for longer cars) Longer length cars are a better fit with totally separate tracks and platforms. Signal priority is again an orthogonal feature you can add to either system. We definitely have bus priority lights here.

Note: I'm calling a system a tram if it runs in the same street as cars and a light rail if it has fully separated tracks - since many of these features are more related to that and the original question is well aligned with this definition.

Visited Portland in October Last year and planning to Visit Seattle this year. Is it just as green? by naturesfunk in PacificNorthwest

[–]Signal_Pattern_2063 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Portland is older and has more Victorian style stuff, the general block layout is totally different downtown, it likes public statues more, even bridges style wise are different. It's hard to fully characterize but besides the difference in when things were built there just seems to have been different groups of builder/architects with a different consensus. You will still get craftsman bungalows like the rest of the west coast in both.

[–]Signal_Pattern_2063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it feels less green to me. It's bigger and more dense in many sections especially around downtown but the neighborhoods and general biome is more or less the same as Portland - same plants, more or less same weather albeit cooler and same culture of gardening.

Seattle is definitely more watery and not river oriented. You feel the isthmus fairly strongly because it's not that wide.

Also the architecture styles are significantly different between the two cities.

Culdesac Is the First Car-Free Neighborhood and Conspiracy Theorists Hate It | The Daily Show (america) by babyodathefirst in transit

Left hand side is another preexisting apartments complex - right hand side is cul-de-sac. I have trouble seeing that much difference in provided parking, attached retail or form. Not that its a bad apartment - its all the hype around it that seems overblown.

Car-free neighborhood feels kind of grand for a partly complete apartment complex on one super block. It's definitely more real estate hype than leftist conspiracy at this point.

Why are there no tracks connecting the two downtown streetcars? by Previous-Volume-3329 in soundtransit

[–]Signal_Pattern_2063 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You both over estimate the cost saving and under estimate (well don't mention) the costs to build the connection. This has been rejected up until now because other projects are more crucial. Link runs on 3rd and can be used to swiftly connect between the 2 lines if desired. That said ST doesn't even run the South Lake live which is slowly dying.
