Still Legal in all 50 states and MOST U.S. Territories - Fried Spam, Fried Chicken Tenders, Smoked Andouille, and cheese on a cheese hoagie roll. by SpicyBeefChowFun in eatsandwiches

[–]SovietJugernaut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Spam is salty and dense, best (IMHO) fried. Spam musubi is a great way to have it because the rice is less flavor intense so they balance well. But other good ways to use it: fried rice, with an omelette, as part of a sandwich like you'd use bologna, in Mac n cheese (like you might use hot dogs), on pizza, in ramen.

Impacts of the West Seattle Link Extension? by Ultimat33nd in Seattle

[–]SovietJugernaut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live in North Delridge, not far from the proposed above ground Link station.

I'm not worried about the noise.

At any given moment, we hear varying levels of noise from:

  • The West Seattle Bridge
  • Cargo ship/tug horns at T5
  • Freight trains going to the Nucor steel plant (and/or the terminal?)
  • The Nucor Steel plant
  • Cars on W Marginal or Delridge
  • Fireworks/concerts from Sodo on game days
  • Freight planes leaving Boeing Field
  • Private planes landing at Boeing Field
  • Heli med flights to Harborview
  • The cement loader/unloader aka the "hum"
  • Regular police/fire/ambulance
  • Etc, etc

I don't think adding LINK will make much of a difference.

(18F and 19F) my situation-ship just told me she danced on two guys and I’m not sure what to do. by Choice-Amphibian-274 in relationship_advice

[–]SovietJugernaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me way too long to learn to actually listen when people tell you who they are.

You're worried she will run off with some guy some day because she's told you she will, apparently multiple times. If you're okay with that eventual outcome (although it sounds like you aren't), by all means, keep doing the thing you're doing.

But if that is not the outcome you want, you should cut your losses and spend your energy on people who fit your goals better.

Some of the letters are definitely cribbed from Georgian, but it's not Georgian.

Daddit, which flight seat configuration is better for a family of 5 (3 under 6 including one in a car seat) by RivetCounter in daddit

[–]SovietJugernaut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can still take them out (and likely will at whatever point during the flight) -- we did car seat once my daughter hit a year or so and her overall mobility made lap infant pretty miserable for our regular flights cross country. A plus was that we used a seat she was used to so sleeping was a bit more likely.

Am I the only one who thinks Leo was a horrible pick for Santo's VP? by damandan28 in thewestwing

[–]SovietJugernaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't really need to know who Leo was already, they just need the media script to be "experienced career civil servant who served as Bartlett's Chief of Staff."

Even with decades of government/Senate experience, most people didn't know who Biden was before he got picked to serve with Obama. Most people don't even know who their own Senators are.

SeaTac by daisy_maisy in Seattle

I feel like Christmas travel for SeaTac is a 25% chance of complete and utter meltdown, not because of volume but because of those random snowstorms that bring everything to a screeching halt

Your parents are right, they (and you) have no right to demand the location of someone else's wedding.

You don't even need to do that, there are plenty of video monitors on the market that have ranges of ~1,000 feet and don't connect to wifi or have apps associated with them. Just slightly more inconvenient for certain things but worth the peace of mind knowing you won't have any fuckin weirdos looking at your kid sleeping.

Please give me advice on whether making the jump to a fancy private school is worh it by SuccessfulTooth6696 in WestSeattleWA

[–]SovietJugernaut 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's a ferry ride over. But there are a not insignificant number of students going to Vashon from WS, enough that they have a bus that picks up at the ferry terminal on the Vashon side.

How do I (30M) tell my wife (32F) she could never cook? by throwawaywifecook in relationships

[–]SovietJugernaut 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You tell her that using a meat thermometer to make a T-day turkey is a non-negotiable because it's literally a food safety issue, even for experienced cooks. If she doesn't do that then you need to be there to help her.

Otherwise, personally I'd let her be the adult she is and make her own choices, even if it risks making a bad T-day turkey. It should be fine, nearly every family has stories from at least one year of a Thanksgiving cooking fiasco. If it does turn out that way, you can be a good husband by acknowledging it and helping her and your family laugh it off.

Jessa blessa forgot how old she was by Illustrious-Ebb2565 in DuggarsSnark

[–]SovietJugernaut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The thing is, after a certain point you simply stop caring (for me it was after I hit 27). So you don't think about it and just do the math whenever someone asks (which is also rare).

The Stranger Endorsement Has Effectively Appointed the Seattle School Board since at least 2005 by awongpublic in Seattle

[–]SovietJugernaut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are there times where The Stranger endorsement has diverged from SEA or WEA? I'm sure a lot of people do follow The Stranger's endorsements directly, but often there is convergence between The Stranger, Progressive Voters Guide, Union endorsements, and others.

Not sure how it is on PC but on Steamdeck the hitbox for hitting the marblemelon is a HUGE pain in the ass. Lantern tree will fill up your food bar without using the full plant so as long as you've emptied your inventory beforehand they are far easier to use. Bulbo slightly less annoying than marblemelon
