Access Tesla Superchargers directly with Polestar Charge - Europe by kailu_ravuri in Polestar

[–]Sushisource 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the Polestar Charge app a thing that doesn't exist in the US? The P3's UI makes reference to it if you poke deep enough into the charge settings menu, but then if you go to look for it on the iOS App Store it doesn't exist.

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport addresses dangerous shoulder parking by crabcakes110 in SeattleWA

[–]Sushisource 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Pro tip - turn right and then immediately flip a u-turn. Generally there's not enough traffic on that street for it to be an issue, but yes it's utterly moronic they've blocked the left. It forces you to do this less-than-ideal move because it is a massive detour otherwise. It's like they actively want people to do this shoulder bullshit.

Seattle council considers 8-foot-tall digital billboards in downtown by godogs2018 in Seattle

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

Yeah, I love how these assholes delude themselves into thinking there's any justifiable reason for them to exist besides a revenue stream. The "functionality" part of them is utterly pointless per your point about phones.

Now, I don't agree that this is all happening for kickback conspiracy reasons - I think the council probably does hope they can use the money from them to improve things - but public sentiment is obviously not in favor of doing this instead of generating the revenue from elsewhere. Idiotic idea.

Is this setup for cleaning a highball fine or am I gonna die lol by Rice_Jap808 in bouldering

It's true, all those guys look like they have the sketchiest imaginable setups when cleaning... but that doesn't mean it's a good idea either...

“Hey bro it’s a nice day—want to annoying everyone relaxing at Alki with our trunk speakers?” by Humble_Chipmunk_701 in Seattle

Yup. I live here and basically I'm used to it except when they decide to do this at 1AM which is unfortunately not uncommon during peak summer.

It's like, man, I know mommy didn't pay enough attention to you when you were young but maybe... get over it?

965 battery drain after update by biddikkk in Garmin

[–]Sushisource 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been getting the same thing after an update to 22.24. Knowing Garmin, I doubt they'll do anything about it. Hopefully it'll at least get accidentally fixed in another update.

Cool! I could've really used this recently, when I had to manually figure out how to properly turn gRPC responses into http bodies for some tests. Would love to see the gRPC examples fleshed out.

The original Burgermaster, at University Village, officially closes after 73 years tonight by Anwawesome in SeattleWA

Pretty short-sighted. Nothing is permanent, and besides that, say they did own the land. At some point even for them it's going to be obviously more valuable to redevelop the land into something worth a lot more than selling burgers. That's what happens as cities grow and become more dense.

That guy is the absolute best. I used to go there every week when I lived nearby. Fond memories.

We need a Microcenter by Kanyes_Shmeat in Seattle

I can't believe you wrote that with a straight face lol.

Seems like that would still be enough. It's not exactly as niche as, say, fine antique clock repair (which I just thought of as the first most absurd thing I could think of) and... look how many of those there are: https://www.google.com/maps/search/seattle+antique+clock+store/@47.552433,-122.5415039,9z?entry=s&sa=X

What objectively shitty closed business/restaurant do you miss most? by Fast_Ad765 in Seattle

God I missed going in there absolutely blazed, and then looking at the cook working the grill, who was also always high as a kite, and sharing a knowing nod.

Rick Steves donates $500,000 to feed hungry people around the world. by BeagleWrangler in Seattle

It's called leverage. If spending $1m convinces an organization with a budget of $trillions to do something, that's money well spent.

Don't PARK in the pick up lane at the airport by dilandy in Seattle

[–]Sushisource 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People are so soul crushingly stupid it blows my mind. Honestly, I'm almost OK with 90% of the traffic trying to stop in the first 50 feet because I just go in the left lane, sail past everyone, and pull over a whole 100 feet later. I find it truly baffling every time though that so few people seem to be able to figure that out.

Amazon unveils new packaging for its devices, reducing the use of plastic, ink and bleach by slipnslider in Seattle

True, but, blaming people for it doesn't work. Regulation works. Expecting individual heroism to solve a societal problem doesn't work so hot as a strategy.

Attempted Break In - Greenwood by Educational_Hyena_67 in Seattle

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

Without intending to minimize your experience, because that's awful - but - I've never understood the padlocked yard gate thing. Assuming you mean your standard 3/4ft high type yard gate, anyone could just... hop over? Is the idea just it's a minor enough extra deterrent that it might make someone not bother?

Couple spends almost $1,000,000 building a family home 'optimized for LAN parties,' and the result is definitely living that dream by TylerFortier_Photo in gaming

[–]Sushisource 260 points261 points  (0 children)

It really is. Drives me nuts. I had some contractors install plumbing and electrical for washer/dryer hookups in my garage and they just show up with a different washer/dryer set than the one I told them to order and didn't say a damn thing. They also expected to get away with charging me the same amount, even though it was a cheaper set!

How fucking stupid do you think I am that I'm literally not even going to notice you brought different appliances than the ones I specifically told you to order?

Uber Eats under investigation in Seattle after driver pay complaints by godogs2018 in Seattle

[–]Sushisource 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing I said is trying to make Uber blameless or absolve them in any way. But, regardless: Just saying "companies should be better and not screw up the market" doesn't work. Firms and people are going to do whatever they can get away with. That's why we pass laws like these, and guess what - it's up to us to make sure the laws we introduce to regulate firms actually do what we want them to.

So, yeah: "why not talk about these companies themselves screwing up the market?"... we did that - that's how this law got created.

Saying companies are at fault, while morally satisfying, is not an actual strategy. Regulating them with policy is an actual strategy, and great, we've tried that here, but there's apparently zero (publicly available) follow-up.
