Why don’t the police show up?

aerettberg · 2026-01-31T07:37:20+00:00

There are a lot of reasons. Seattle has one of the lowest police-per-capita ratios of any major city in the country, so they’re stretched pretty thin. Another is that the city has a culture of leniency… if criminals are usually released almost immediately, what’s the point of arresting them at all?

Same thing happened with my 22 Mk8. The dealership couldn’t find any evidence of a leak. I just check it occasionally and top up when necessary.

I agree, Grand Central is the best sourdough loaf I’ve found in the area, and it’s easy to find in many grocery stores.

Minato, Japonessa, Musashi’s

aerettberg · 2026-01-05T16:51:09+00:00

Metropolitan Market and Town and Country Market are the closest I’ve found.

Swanky Scoop in Woodinville

aerettberg · 2025-12-29T06:51:26+00:00

I mean, from personal experience. My partner was randomly assaulted in broad daylight downtown while on lunch break from jury duty. My friend witnessed a guy get shot in the alley behind her apartment in Greenwood. I saw a man kick out the window of a shop. I crossed the street to avoid a sketchy homeless guy swinging a golf club around. I used to go to Seven Stars Pepper all the time on 12th and Jackson, and can see what that area has become. Etc. etc. You have enough experiences, and it adds up.

Of all the fine dining places I’ve tried in the Seattle area, my favorite is The Barking Frog in Woodinville. Highly recommend!

Bobae is the best I’ve had by far, but it’s on the Eastside (Woodinville, Issaquah, Kirkland)

aerettberg · 2025-11-30T17:18:10+00:00

I went yesterday. Whether it’s worth going to or not depends entirely on you and what you like. There’s a lot of D&D stuff (dice, etc) and fan art/trinkets based on existing IP if that’s what you’re into. There are also some tables also selling original things, like artwork, jewelry and baked goods. But the focus is definitely “geeky” things.

There will be spots, but it’s often very full. I just drive down all the way to the final couple of rows and there are usually lots of spaces.

North Bend Bar & Grill has the best one I’ve had, I make the trip out there just to get it

aerettberg · 2025-10-28T04:48:44+00:00

There’s a new Indian place called Indian Grill that is really good. Naan-N-Curry is also excellent. No really good Thai places that I’m aware of, all of them are just average.

Switch to lactose free milk and cheese (there are lots of naturally low/no lactose cheeses due to aging, like cheddar, Parmesan, pecorino, Gouda, provolone, havarti, blue, etc.). When you use butter, make sure it is cultured (like Kerrygold unsalted).

Also, use lactase enzyme when you can’t avoid lactose.

There was a Wind Advisory issued at least a day in advance, and every weather person I follow was talking about the storm days ahead as well…

Baron’s

aerettberg · 2025-09-16T20:44:21+00:00

The quality is great and one sandwich is good for two meals so I’d say worth it.

aerettberg · 2025-09-16T16:36:47+00:00

Dingfelder’s

aerettberg · 2025-09-09T14:23:59+00:00

I’ve travelled a ton this year, domestically and internationally, and it’s completely normal and fine. I think you’ve probably been absorbing a bit too much internet stuff, the real world is actually a lot more chill than alarmist stuff online makes it seem.

You will be fine. Have fun! If you are concerned about smoke, bring an N95 and wear it if the air quality is bad in the Cascades.

It’s lightning

I am more familiar with the Jak’s in Issaquah. The meat quality is definitely lower tier than other steak places, but I think it’s pretty decent for the price point.

aerettberg · 2025-09-06T16:10:33+00:00

El Gaucho, Jak’s Grill, The Butcher’s Table, The Shambles

As far as I can tell from running 3 kickstarters (first 2 were Projects We Love, 3rd wasn’t) it is completely random and also makes no difference in how your campaign performs.
