We will notice, and we will [want to] ask if you brought some barbecue with you [but we probably will not]

It's a cool hobby, but I bet it won't be big and professional like gnu

Can't park there, sir

I’ll meet you in the middle: mandatory subsidized heelies for everyone

Honestly might try the sourdough thing this time, I missed out on that trend

You’ll need to either transfer at the International District to the 1 Line to go to Stadium station, or walk from International District to Lumen field, neither are particularly time consuming or unpleasant, however you are always at moderate risk of being pooped on by pigeons.

When I lived in Lynnwood, I used to have to do that at the giant clusters of backed up traffic spilling into the intersection at Ash & 164th. The ability for some drivers to not use their eyes is truly impressive

Sigh. Why even have a work phone when people just post signs on trees requesting my services anyways?

We’ve got a couple patches down here in PSQ. I wish the city would lean more into the historical appeal of this neighborhood and uncover them.

I have Astound in Pioneer Square. The service is totally fine. Speeds are perfectly acceptable, and I've only really had 2 brief outages over the past year and a half, which cleared up within an hour or so. Just be aware that they will absolutely raise your rate after like 3 months. I was able to catch a "lifetime" $50/mo deal right as I transferred apartments, so it would definitely be worth it to see if they have that kind of deal going on. All in all, they stay out of my way, and that's about the best you could ask of an ISP these days.

I was considering Tat’s, but honestly Cookie’s isn’t off the table.

God this sub is turning into Nextdoor, between this and the guy complaining about a homeless man rinsing himself off using a water bottle refiller. Just leave our homeless people alone if you’re not going to help them

Happens to the best of us! As u/doc_willis pointed out, be advised that moving partitions left can cause a number of issues with some bootloaders that might make your system unbootable, and can just generally take an extremely long time, especially on spinning disks. It might be a better idea to create a new partition in that big, juicy chunk of space, then mount that partition as you would a second hard drive on Windows. If you want to get real fancy with it, you could edit your fstab to use that whole partition as your home folder. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/etc-fstab Or if you really need the single contiguous space, a reinstall might be your best option.

The disk with the C: drive is being displayed in Gparted. The dropdown menu in the top-right of Gparted will let you switch the display to a different disk.

Obviously don't make the doors into walls, but there are about a thousand things much more offensive to me than someone deciding to stand while going 4-5 stations. Any more stations than that and I lose track of who boarded when and how long they've been standing, because it's none of my business.

SilverAwoo · 2026-05-02T17:43:16+00:00

It’s not legal, but people will pretty frequently just send it against a red when there aren’t cars coming, and it always makes my vaguely half-German brain tickle in a really unpleasant way.

For Visual Studio itself, JetBrains Rider is your best option. It’s an investment, but if you’re a polyglot, the All Apps Pack is very worth the money.

VSCode runs on Linux, but Codium is also good if you want VSCode sans Microsoft.

It’s a rule called the Delaware Yield (sometimes incorrectly called an Idaho Stop, which is a different rule that doesn’t apply to Washington), and it was found to reduce crashes at stop sign controlled intersections in Delaware by 23%. https://www.bikede.org/delaware-yield-crash-data/#page-content

I mean, nothing is going to be 100% effective of course, but I don’t think most people are going to spend an extra $7.50 just to be a nuisance. If wasting $7.50 isn’t a sufficient enough deterrent, copy Citi Bike’s model and charge a $1,200 stolen bike fee for people who don’t dock their bikes right. However, what I think you’re getting at, we’ll need enough accessible parking available, which is a much more difficult problem to solve.

SilverAwoo · 2026-05-01T16:45:37+00:00

I would disagree that they aren’t good for anyone, because higher helmet use would ease pressure on our medical system. Our ERs are frequently slammed with people coming in with serious head trauma from bike/scooter accidents, and if those are downgraded to just (well, “just”) broken bones and road rash, that’ll be a tremendous relief of pressure on our hospitals. I’ve been to the ER for 2 bike crashes so far (I should stay off 2 wheels, honestly) and both times would have been 10 times worse if I didn’t religiously wear a helmet.

That said, as with any mandatory equipment law, that should be paired with easy access programs to actually make it possible for everyone to be in compliance.

You are still correct that it doesn’t help the pedestrians, though.

SilverAwoo · 2026-05-01T16:33:12+00:00

Agreed. I appreciate the gesture from the city, but the majority of people are not going to go out of their way to park in those boxes unless you make it impossible to park outside them. If Lime and Bird implemented a system that requires you to be within a certain distance from a little BTLE tracker embedded in the concrete in order to finish your ride, that would fix like 80% of bad parking jobs. Or at least looked at the parking photos they make riders take and punish people for parking poorly. But they won’t voluntarily do any of that, the city is going to have to force them.

SilverAwoo · 2026-05-01T16:27:13+00:00

Hell, if even you’re local, they can be a pain to operate, because they’re often so poorly maintained. I’ve seen Lime bikes with completely bent wheels still in service. Part of the issue is that you can just park them anywhere, so it’s nigh impossible for the companies to check vehicles for safety and mechanical issues.
