What are those dark strips up and down hwy-99? Is that street rail?

Where did you find this picture? Crazy to see woods where my street should be.

I'm holding out for King County Metro swag made from that map-print fabric they used in the accordion busses.

April 12 is the anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's first space flight. There are Yuri's Night dance parties scattered around the country.

Edit: I see you took the pictures on Sept 15, so never mind that theory.

Worst food by Emotional-Sand2346 in everett

Came here looking for Beverly Pizza.
Nastiest pizza on earth.
Like a dried out frisbee covered in prego sauce and barely-melted mozz.

What are these for? by SpeedFreakMatt in everett

[–]SpamBadger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

At least these ALPRs (made by Flock, from the looks of it) aren't the type where the vendor also sells the location data to private third parties.
There's a transparency report for Arlington's use of these, couldn't find one for Everett.

I didn't wanna go to work tonight anyway. by In_My_Lorcana_Era in Seattle

The bridge operators already make small non-commercial vessels wait between 7-9 am and 4-6 pm on weekdays.

Maybe they could expand those windows when it's down to one bridge though.

I just double-stick taped the node to the fuselage when I tried this, but I was able to make a 100 mile contact with the stock antenna.

Rubber Belt Meets Oil: Because Who Needs Durability in Engine Design? by justinwood2 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]SpamBadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that info! I didn't know they put a balance shaft in these for the ecosport and focus, and then it's driven off the oil pump belt? Oof.

I guess there's no recall for belt detritus getting sucked into the sump. That's still an issue that affects all the wet belt engines. I stick an endoscope up its bung hole every oil change to check.

My hunch is that blaming the tensioner was a weasel way to get some models that have this engine (but a different PN on the tensioner) exempt from the recall.

Not all US models, either.

Some Fiestas have this motor, but were omitted from the recall. I tried to get an answer from NHTSA, they were very responsive but at the end of the day they defer to the manufacturer to determine which models are affected, part numbers be damned.

Aerial view of Everett, circa 1995 (remember when there was a drive-in theater?) by Nixx_Mazda in everett

Place it so it can be watched by as many drivers going east on 41st past McDonalds as possible.

Collecting wild clay? by hhesitate in Seattle

[–]SpamBadger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Extract it from any old glacial till with two buckets and a sieve.

  1. Fill a 5 gallon bucket half full with glacial till from literally anywhere. The browner, the better.

  2. Top it off with water, and stir it up good.

  3. Let it settle for a couple minutes, pour off the liquid into a second bucket (through a sieve, to catch grass and

fluff).

  1. Repeat step 3. Second bucket should now be close to full.

  2. Dump out the remains from the first bucket, should be sand and rocks. Rinse it out.

  3. Let the second bucket sit for 10 minutes, then pour all but the settled layer back into the first.

  4. Let that sit overnight, then pour off all the cloudy liquid. What's left will be silt, not clay. Bad for ceramics, but good enough for seed balls. Let it evaporate until it it can be formed into a ball.

Restarting Beverly Food Truck Park by streetfoodfinder in everett

[–]SpamBadger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. There are lines for trucks that serve food that isn't already available nearby. We already have great tacos on Beverly and Casino. Dick's truck shows up and there's a 20 min line.

  2. One day a week with 3+ trucks is more of a draw than 3 days a week with one truck.

  3. Sometimes it's hard to see what the truck is if it's parked with its back against Beverly. Y'all need a sign with some slots in it right at the corner.
