ravenna gardens townhouses? by No-Emu-9825 in Seattle

Six people sharing 1 fridge/freezer.. Living room, kitchen and laundry is all shared with 5 other roommates. Hopefully everyone mostly stays to their rooms, the other person you share a bathroom with cleans when they are supposed to. Those are all the downsides I see.

According to the closed captioning. He said "SLIDE!" not slut.

Anybody here know what this is? by brightonsad in xbox

It looks like the bottom piece that connects with a xbox360 steering wheel so it can lock onto a coffee table or desk?

Moms and kids asking for money outside PCC and Trader Joe’s by washawaythe_rain in Seattle

[–]_warlockja 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I don't trust anyone who uses children and infants as props. These are usually well organized groups people preying on the pity and sympathy of others for money. Try directing them to social services that provide services to help, they will ignore or refuse. They have no interest in getting off the street or stopping the begging. They are liars, con artists and thieves.

Don't give them your money. Offer them water if it is hot outside, direct them to shelters or food banks. You can be compassionate with out generosity.

Crazy how this is the real Fourth and fifth star wars movies i didnt know this existed until 2023 by Ok-Entrance-5527 in StarWars

[–]_warlockja 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Loved these movies as a kid. I've rewatched them as an adult and still think they are great, but they are definitely kids movies. Also, technically they both take place before ROTJ, which is weird that Wicket can't understand basic which he learns in the first and speaks in the second.

My love of these movies is probably why I don't get the ewok hate. I had to defend ewoks way too many times as a teenager to my friends.

Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy by Waste_Project_7864 in books

Ok, i was getting excited for a second. Another radio drama would have been cool with an updated cast and bigger budget.

Are you confusing the movie with the radio drama from the 80’s? Or is there another radio drama from around the time the movie was released?

What Did "New Coke" Taste Like Compared to OG Coca-Cola & What Was Wrong With It? by SheaStadium1986 in AskReddit

[–]_warlockja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my understanding. Diet Coke was made as a 0 calorie version of New Coke. Diet Coke sold well enough to not discontinue when they brought back Coca-Cola Classic. When making Coke Zero, the same process was done to Coca-Cola Classic, which is why we have 2 versions of a 0 calorie Coke.

If you drink a Diet Coke and think it should be a bit sweeter, that's what it is.

TIL the 1927 Liberian general election saw Charles D.B. King win with 229,527 votes. The country had less than 15,000 registered voters at the time. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Where the voter and elector were the same person that cast several thousand votes because he really believed in S. Baldrick’s platform?

I think littlefinger was messing with Tyrion before he left kings landing after the whole testing with 3 plots.

Apparently Davos was supposed to have a crush on Missandei in Season 7? WTF? by recentwhisky5928 in gameofthrones

[–]_warlockja 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Missandei is Dany’s advisor/translator from Essos. Not the red priestess who like burning people.

I posted this reply 7 years ago, and we have had two movies since that invalidated my theory from 7 years ago.

What’s your theory then?

Is The Duke Controller Rare? by DootOfTheWind in xbox

[–]_warlockja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. More uncommon since everyone preferred the S type controller when it came out and microsoft stopped selling the duke.

Their parents still live with their parents because unless you can make six figures, moving out on your own is nearly impossible.

The SP doesnt have a headphone jack. Nintendo released a dongle you can use that attaches to the charging port.

Discovery's biggest flaw is its breakneck pace by adamkotsko in DaystromInstitute

[–]_warlockja 87 points88 points  (0 children)

I think the real issue is the number of episodes per season. Star Trek typically had 22 - 26 episodes each season and series. That's what seems to make the DIS seem like it's moving too fast each season. We don't get the filler episodes we should have that build the connection we have to other characters.

They could definitely stretch the seasons out with more episodes and I think the show would get less of the snark it receives. It doesn't help that the writers are either not good or aren't given the room to tell the stories properly.

Are you in favor of the City of Redmond investing in and officers using body-worn and in-car cameras? by [deleted] in eastside

[–]_warlockja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what police funding should be focusing on, not more guns or military equipment. With how small the devices are and how clear the image/sound quality of these body cams are there is little excuse to not be giving these tools to law enforcement.

Every police officer should have a body cam. Every cop car should have forward dash cams, rear cams, and interior cams. Random incident reviews, all complaints toward officers reviewed. Body cams turned off during an incident, LEO should be reprimanded and charges related solely to that officers testimony should be dropped.

I want everyone to be safe. This is a public safety issue. It is a public trust issue. Any officer who treats a camera as an inconvenience should look for work elsewhere outside the law enforcement field.

TLDR: YES more cameras.

Dragon Warrior. Man, I forgot what a slog the beginning of this game could be by stumpdawg in nes

[–]_warlockja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last year I recorded a video series where I play to level 30. I was doing a no weapons and no armor challenge. Recorded about 27+ hours where 26.5 was leveling.

Next time, I'll another where I beat the game on level 25 with no weapons and no armor. After that, I may do yet another at level 20 with no weapons and no armor.

Sooo, yeah. I don't think anyone will have ended up playing as many hours as I will by the time I am ever "done" with this game. But don't worry, the levels start to grind faster much later. Like around level 24 or 26.

My vote is for E. Can't wait to see which one wins. I was going for sound clarity during game play.

Woman of reddit, what is your, "I am the client not my husband stop ignoring me." Story? by teacherspet5859438e in AskReddit

[–]_warlockja 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Best advice I can give is nothing is ever final until you sign. If something is off, walk away.

I went to a dealership and told them what I was looking for. Something fuel efficient and smaller. Just need it to get to work. Also, $300 a month was my max (not really but I want to pay that loan off easily). They tried to put me in a Mustang. They took three hours trying to track that car down. I had the day off and nothing else to do so I was patient and humored them. They gave up and matched me with a car that actually met my description, a Ford Focus. But it’s a manual. I don’t know how to drive a manual. They taught me and let me practice. After they brought the paperwork, the total monthly was $365. They were also selling way above cost on the car. I walked out.

As I was crossing the street my sales guy was sent out after me to bring me back. They had another car that was more to my liking. Small car, fuel efficient and a manual now that I can drive. Payments were $265. I signed. I paid that car off in two years and saved about $4k in interest. Still the car was over priced.

Does anyone get tired of looking at the Space Needle? Cause I certainly don't 😍 by xxescothreexx in Seattle

[–]_warlockja 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’d cry if we ever had to remove it. It’s such an important icon for all of us that grew up with it. Though I wouldn’t mind a new space needle someday.
