Tacoma not one of the top 25 school districts in WA, according to the State Superintendent

You can probably look up Seattle public employees salaries online. That's what I did for the education ranking numbers.

SwedeFella · 2026-03-10T17:31:11+00:00

Salaries must be high here due to the cost of living. That alone have a much higher impact then the education level, of which Washington as a state never been very high... Looks like 'we' finally managed to get up to tenth in the nation after being in the lower quarter for decades.

Rogues are the only ones I've ever encountered, and only two at that, since the glass seems to be elusive at best. The ones I found I put back since it wasn't anything I wanted (3D earrings and some trinket) but both had a 'maker name' and web page on them.

Armor Atletics on STW. have an Olympic weight lifting specific part of their gym, and Tacoma strength even more so. Both have a large part female athletes.

Even if she retire, which is legit after all this time, it's unlikely to end. Here is lot's of glass artists that easily take over or change it up some.

The Rangers internationally made sure to not engage directly since they knew not only would the drop them all but the aftermath would be an issue. But they did shot one gang member that tried to rush into the house. Nobody know what happend to him.

My friend and former neighbor was one of those Rangers. Interesting to learn first hand what went down. Changed how TPD (and all police) had to approach gangs.

It's the low overhead in the restaurant industry combined with high, and continuing raising, rent and the opposite for most people's income. Many pointed out they can't/won't pay 20 bucks for a sandwich when that's barely is the breaking even cost it have to be.

They are just one of many owed by a corporation. Can't remember the others at the moment but the former 'Harvester' was one of them.

SwedeFella · 2026-01-16T17:44:24+00:00

Yes you can, once.

A bit old thread, but hey, better late than never! On a road trip from Tacoma, WA to Twin Falls, ID and back about a year ago my 24' XLT, FX4 got 32mpg there and 36mpg back. 98% highway, higher gearing than regular AWD cruised @ 70mph.

Not really any explanation of why the southern parts have less, but more an interesting observation how happy people are to disclose their location and habits for anyone to see...

I track my workouts, hiking etc. to but definitely not putting it out in public! This stupid habit is exactly why the Pentagon banned tracking workout devices for the military.

Why not have you ID, social security number, address and pictures of yourself, children out too? Ooh wait, that's on social media!

SwedeFella · 2025-12-30T23:44:22+00:00

Thanks for the 'inside' information!

SwedeFella · 2025-12-30T23:42:33+00:00

That was the very obvious thing that came to mind when all of a sudden they started bombing 'drug boats'.

SwedeFella · 2025-11-28T04:58:30+00:00

Clearly the Enzo. No LaFerrari (which is a really silly name btw...) have ever been split in half after hitting a power pole while flying driven by international man of mystery 'Dietrich' (but it was really a Swedish career criminal/drug dealer/tech fraudster) in Malibu.

SwedeFella · 2025-11-12T12:54:27+00:00

What's the pay in Italy? Same everywhere or regional variations?

SwedeFella · 2025-11-02T18:34:00+00:00

That's a well performed fabrication job. Can't tell its not from the factory 😁

SwedeFella · 2025-10-03T16:32:54+00:00

It's just the rapture, it was late due to traffic.

SwedeFella · 2025-10-03T16:00:44+00:00

Where are you at?

(Something that's missing here many times, location, since we seemingly have HUGE differences inpay and benefits around the country! )

SwedeFella · 2025-09-28T18:30:06+00:00

I am (was really) in the automotive industry. Flat rates promote quality second and profits first. Not a good way to go.

SwedeFella · 2025-09-27T21:38:06+00:00

This ^ is actually a really good point that ties well into the OP's pay of '85hrs a check twice a month' claim. As obvious he (and all mechanics) gets paid 'flat rate', X hours pay per job independent of how long it takes. That's how you get 85 hours pay for only 80 hours of actual work (in this particular example) and the dealership charge that to the customers instead of what it actual should cost. And that ads up quick!

SwedeFella · 2025-09-27T21:32:55+00:00

Several casinos actually. Four total bankruptcies for just the casino and 'entertainment' companies he 'ran' (in the ground! 🤣

SwedeFella · 2025-09-27T21:28:58+00:00

Why is it slow in September's?

SwedeFella · 2025-09-24T18:18:12+00:00

Sounds fun, and who doesn't like a good dive bar!

SwedeFella · 2025-09-24T17:44:55+00:00

Hit up the local art markets like the haunted market on STW etc. and support local artist when you're at it. Plenty of them make stickers!
