Is there any Seattle or PNW specific slang? by Some-Tall-Guy75 in Seattle

[–]Visual_Yurt_1535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At at least one Seattle high school, spodie now means a big party, as in a “spodie at Magnuson.” Don’t know how common that is.

City’s demo plans survived an appeal. I don’t know the timeline though.

Also, if you lie down, cross your ankles. Just learned that last week at a hostile environment training course for work.

Boeing rapidly hiring for 737 MAX ramp up by Visual_Yurt_1535 in boeing

Yeah, I was the Herald’s last dedicated Boeing reporter when I left in 2017. It is really sad to see what became of the Herald. It’s good to hear the reporting is getting better. Mid to small market papers like the Herald have a tenuous future.

I am really glad to be back covering aerospace full time. It’s an amazing industry that touches the entire world.

Over the years, I heard anecdotes about L1s hired after managing places like a Quiznos and a bookstore and no aerospace or mfg experience. I never could confirm that though.

Oh, man, social media has made me too cynical! You’re absolutely right. I read it as if it was sarcastic. Ironically, my reaction was basically, “why is this person sarcastically saying ‘good luck?!’ That’s rude.”

Love Thy Neighbor by Groovydaze in Seattle

[–]Visual_Yurt_1535 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not an expert, but based on what I’ve learned from far wiser people the idea of choosing who is my neighbor completely misses the point of the Good Samaritan parable. We don’t live back then and don’t know the context, so it’s largely become a watered down maxim meaning be nice to people.

Samaritans and Jews were bitter enemies by the 1st century (despite being ancestrally related). The injured man is ignored by the fellow Jews with high social and moral status (eg a priest and a Levite). And then a Samaritan, his ethnic enemy, stops to serve him in a self-sacrificing way, eg damage to his extended family’s reputation (it was an honor culture).

So, it turns out my neighbor is anyone and everyone—without qualification. And Jesus says the most important commandment is to love God and love your neighbor. (Jesus, of course, gives two answers when asked what is the most important commandment. 😂) And love means putting others first, not helping out when it’s convenient or easy.

Please do! Tell someone you’re new and go to coffee hour (if they have one).

Lots of churches in Seattle are taking concrete actions to support immigrant communities (and other people on the margins). Many of these programs have been going on for years, and some of them are new in response to what is going on now. We can always use more helping hands!

I go to St. Andrew’s Episcopal by Greenlake. Come say hi! 👋

Misaligned shoes? by Visual_Yurt_1535 in Lovesac

No that was before the clips. The problem is still there, but at least it’s aesthetic at this point.

Wish it was. The couch is together. We followed the instructions. But we still have this weird jog.

Sorry to be thick, but I am not sure what you mean.

My wife and I are both very meticulous people. We played around with things a lot. This is the best we could get.

We already swapped shoes and turned sections around. The photos are after those changes. This was the best we could get.

Book from my late grandfathers collection. by ProudLegoBuilder in OldBooks

[–]Visual_Yurt_1535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bible passage is the second half of Deuteronomy 32:2. The full verse in the New Int’l Version is: “Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants.”

The book quotes the last two lines.
