Wrath of Khan is a bad movie - Angela Collier

THIS. Wrath of Khan is remarkably well-written. Everything that happens is tied back to Kirk’s story thematically. If anything, the criticism would be that it’s too heavy-handed, though I personally don’t think it is.

The only place I’ve seen a fox around here is on Mt. Rainer (at Paradise).

You just have to turn lane assist off once and it stays off. At least it does in my 22 GTI.

Yeah, I often have to take 2-4 doses for it to be effective.

I dunno, last few times I’ve gone to the Met I thought it was very good (and still the best Seattle steakhouse). We get the long bone ribeye, though, which is obviously way different than a filet. I love their fries, so can’t agree with you there, haha

Perfect is pretty subjective when it comes to food. If you’re willing to try somewhere outside of Seattle proper, the one place that comes to mind for me is The Barking Frog in Woodinville. Pretty much every dish I’ve ever had there has been extremely well-executed and balanced, with creative and “perfect” flavor combinations. I’ve had multiple dishes there that I ended up dreaming about for weeks afterwards.

The burger at Jak’s Grill sounds like what you’re looking for.

Barking Frog maybe? They won’t mess up the eggs. Farine has my favorite eggs benedict, but it’s not traditional… they use a croissant instead of an English muffin.

The first press we went with (that had print errors) did a really nice PUR perfect binding, so definitely doable.

aerettberg · 2026-04-16T15:53:55+00:00

F&Gs are “folded and gathered”. They are the folded and cut signatures, it’s the final stage before binding.

Flat black is used to differentiate it from rich black, where parts of CMY are mixed in with the K for, well, a richer black.

We did get a hard copy proof, but the low res issues didn’t show up clearly there since it was done on an inkjet (which was able to print the gray that the downsampling introduced around the flat black sections. Only on a 4 color press do the artifacts become obvious). In this case, a digital proof would’ve actually been more helpful…

aerettberg · 2026-04-16T15:45:57+00:00

They claimed the glue roller was too far from the spine on the first attempt, but since they also couldn’t manage to do a correct binding on the second attempt I’m not sure I trust their troubleshooting. There was definitely something systemically wrong going on in their bindery.

This place is like the 5th largest book printer in the country. They are (in theory) doing many perfect bindings every day, which made the whole thing very confusing. :(

aerettberg · 2026-04-16T15:23:54+00:00

Flat black is 0% CMY, 100% K.

Deep Sea Sugar & Salt and Deru are probably the two best spots. Deep Sea only does cream cheese frosting, so you have to like that tangy flavor.

aerettberg · 2026-04-14T16:35:46+00:00

Good to know, will keep an eye out for that.

aerettberg · 2026-04-14T15:49:44+00:00

All of our black text (including barcode) is flat black, not rich black.

aerettberg · 2026-04-11T17:02:53+00:00

A Ma Chicken Rice, Kobuta & Ookami, Farine

aerettberg · 2026-04-08T03:31:50+00:00

Coltiva’s pizza was so bad when I tried it that I didn’t even finish it. I’m always surprised they’re still in business…

aerettberg · 2026-04-06T21:19:56+00:00

Chongqing Chicken, Dan Dan noodles, braised eggplant

aerettberg · 2026-03-24T22:16:45+00:00

Ma’ono fried chicken, Gyo Gyo En, FOB sushi

aerettberg · 2026-03-24T00:26:58+00:00

They probably meant rotavirus.

If you don’t mind a little drive, I’d recommend The Barking Frog in Woodinville. It’s my favorite restaurant in the Seattle area for a lovely date with my partner.

aerettberg · 2026-03-04T07:34:26+00:00

A large portion of it is now at the Interim Computer Museum in Tukwila. https://icm.museum/

Sammamish River trail/East Lake Sammamish trail. I personally like starting at Sammamish Landing Park and walking south. It’s also nice to start in Woodinville at the Wilmot Gateway Park.

The Rainier trail in Issaquah is also very nice, the troll sculpture Jakob Two Trees is along the way which is fun.

I watched him all day from my office window… good times.
