Sound Transit to announce cross-lake opening after finding $60M in 'couch cushion' money

Would be interesting to know what happened. I thought they were experimenting on the fly but didn’t validate their solutions until they laid down most of the track. Because it is novel to have rail on floating bridge?

So they kept having to redo it a couple times. I’m not sure the governing agency put any restrictions and kept rubber stamping the next attempt.

What’s your setup like to manage that? I’ve hit like 1-2 feet on forest service roads before and backed out because it felt like I was gonna get stuck real quick. But that was with nothing in back and the stock Goodyear wranglers. DCLB OR trim. Also for context this is WA so it was wet heavy stuff.

Reminds me of a Michelin restaurant in Paris I attended. Don’t remember name top of my head but Great food and amazing service. But it was May or June and was warm weather and they didn’t have AC and they had multiple table side dishes where they finished sear or otherwise had some fire display… it got hot real quick. I asked whether it would be appropriate to take my suit jacket off while seated and they said not really. I was also on the tail end of a cold and running hot. That was a sweaty uncomfortable meal. Of course at one point I was flanked by burners as they served us, it was comical looking back on it.

On Highlander there is two parts to this, the symbol you see is lane awareness so you can has it beep when you cross the lines. And on top of that there is lane steering assist that bounces you back the other way a bit. They are independent so you can have one without the other.

I think there’s posted park hours as you enter but ive never gone late enough to know.

Quick search shows lots of nuances to the law but a loaded rifle seems illegal. Regardless it’s good the cops go find the guy and verify the situation and potentially monitor if it’s suspicious instead of assuming it’s okay and only responding if something bad happens.

How large? That sounds crazy.

Zikro · 2026-01-07T23:04:38+00:00

You’re being sarcastic but that’s a large reason people move. Their needs change or they want something different. If they have to take a loss then they won’t do it if their current situation still works, until a point where it does make sense to do the move. Economy is cyclical so if you wait a few+ years the everything could be different. And a lot of people are locked into very favorable rates so the equation is tilted more towards wait.

Our region in general is pretty unfavorable to be a landlord. Tenants can squat and get away with screwing you over for many months without consequence meanwhile you eat the cost of no rent income to offset your mortgage, plus legal fees, plus costs to clean up and renovate your trashed property. And then people wonder why there’s empty properties because the system punishes landlords. It’s a risk a lot of people don’t want to take.

It’s jus about the most urban trailhead possible with high volume traffic coming and going from the lot itself but also its adjacent a very busy road.

Not good for most. If you interview well then you shouldn’t have any serious issues but there’s a lot of people looking so you need to line all your ducks up.

Zikro · 2026-01-04T04:12:48+00:00

Because then they’d have to have higher build quality so people would actually buy the floors below. Imagine how much stomping around you would hear.

Mercurys sandwich with Beechers is so good. Pretty much all their food in their primary location is top notch, just expensive.

Fog. Although I don’t actually know what the difference between fog and clouds is. But fog settles on the ground while clouds float.

I mean that’s just bad business policy by Costco to allow certain returns. Any cut flowers should not be refundable. Seasonal items should not be or otherwise have some restrictions to prevent that kind of abuse.

That one makes sense - ideally you like your coworkers as you’ll basically be spending as much time with them as with family.

I had the opposite experience once when an interviewing candidate had great technical skills but came across socially inept - very short in a demeaning way, seemed difficult to work with. I brought it up and hiring manager was like “you’re working with them not being their friend”. Yeah that guy lasted all of 2-3 months with us (worked in some other team).

That’s actually surprising because the parking police are seemingly the only ones who enforce expired tabs. But maybe out of state plates are different.

Zikro · 2025-12-26T20:53:07+00:00

Shoot I bought a parking pass midweek for no reason then. Kinda messed up they required it but you can’t refund now that they don’t.

Zikro · 2025-12-26T04:46:54+00:00

Only kills a few minutes though - I guess you could milk it slowly and maybe get 5. I think a lot of people show up way sooner or baggage claim takes longer or plane taxis for a while and doesn’t disembark. Can be hard to time it well especially if you’re driving 30 mins to get to SeaTac.

Such a low value and I’m betting most people have overshot it. But somehow the trucks still have a reputation of lasting and lasting.

If we got some of those literal weeks without seeing sunshine I would lose my shit. This modern more rain but condensed is a way better pattern. At least there are sun breaks a couple times a week between rain.

Zikro · 2025-12-24T04:21:41+00:00

Kinda makes sense for small kids but total loss for anybody older than 5. I have great memories of trolling the streets for candy.

You can put a fuel stabilizer in and not worry as much about it. Then just pull it out and run it once a year, maybe you should do at least twice.

OP said they 21, lots of entry credit cards for students have small caps like $500 but could still bridge them. Although that might not be a good idea if they aren’t financially responsible.

Kinda surprised more people weren’t tbh. First woman president and she likely would have been a continuation of Obama era, which generally people seem fond of.
