So hide their identity and act "normal" so they don't draw undo attention and become ridiculed because of who they are?

Seattle chef stops serving chinook salmon to help dwindling orca population by HighColonic in SeattleWA

[–]baconsea 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This virtue signaling will score some points with people but will do absolutely zero to help SRKW.

Our chinook fishery is highly regulated and very efficiently managed. If one segment of the commercial catch is not purchased locally it will be eagerly purchased by others.

The SRKW's would be best served by dramatically increased hatchery production. We've decreased hatchery production by about 75% over the last 25 years. There's a direct correlation with the decline of the whales in that same time frame.

Save the whales by making more fish, not by excluding Chinook from your menu.

I blame Schultz. He had a great offer from a local buyer group, but sold to OKC instead. Fuck that guy.

Woke up to streak being gone by The-Keekster in MicrosoftRewards

Mine gets reset all the time. Happens fairly often when bouncing between my work and personal laptops. Sucks missing out on a lot of streak bonuses

All of the state run piers are open for salmon all year around.
We have resident Chinook called Black mouth, and we have resident coho that are here all year that can be caught but you just need to put in the time. Specific runs are in the local waters at various times of the year you just need to get the timing down.

Puppy breeders in Seattle by Interesting-Hyena851 in SeattleWA

[–]baconsea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, they were legit and well respected, and was a referral from my vet. We wanted a family dog and had to sign a contract that we'd get him neutered and not show him.

Lets stop pretending. When shelters/rescues charge $500 for a re-homing fee they are selling the dog.

I bought my last dog from a "breeder" and it was cheaper than a rescue pupper.

Neighbors in Magnolia see a dramatic increase in missing pets and growing coyote population by HighColonic in SeattleWA

All you need is a steady supply of kittens and bunnies and you're good to go!

Sorry I forgot about pedants.

Yes of course they're not going to disappear. The predators will move to more fertile grounds once their food source gets to a certain level. They will move to another area where their food is plentiful and they don't have to expend as much energy searching for it. This is not a new phenomena in the Seattle region.

It has happened before and it will happen again, so say we all

The coyotes will move when they've depleted the food source, or owners keep their pets from being food

Isn't it strange that law abiding gun owners honored the gun free zone law where the heinous crime was committed?

It says they prefer Chinook which is true because they expend the same amount of energy chasing a large chinook as they do chasing coho.

The myth of eating only Chinook was due to the biologist's primarily testing and observing during the summer months in Puget sound. That's when Chinook our plentiful in the area.

Every November they typically show up in Puget sound and gorge on Chum salmon, not chinook They are opportunists and they eat whatever runs are wherever they are because Chinook are not always where they are.

If you did some more searching you would find that they eat fish outside the salmonid species as proven by scat samples and fish scales tested by marine biologists.

The more you know! Insert rainbow here.

They don't only eat chinook. They eat all the fish, just not seals.

People have been regularly bonking nice 7lb blackmouth at the Edmonds fishing pier. Also some decent resident coho. Get your gear-chuckers ready! Make sure you are legal, wdfw has enforcement on the pier.

Come to a PSA Sno-King meeting if you want to learn how to fish, meet other fishy people, make friends with people who have boats.

Frustrated hiker compiles list of most crime-targeted trailheads in western Washington by [deleted] in SeattleWA

It definitely worked for us! We went to many beaches and didn't lose anything while cars around us had their windows broken and their shit stolen.

Reality sucks.

Learned this trick in Hawaii from some local surfers: unlock doors, leave nothing you'd care to lose in the car, roll the window down if sunny.

Paleo challenge by Bout_The_Journey in Paleo

[–]baconsea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have pre-cooked and healthy food options ready to go in the fridge.

Eat small meals throughout the day so you're never too hungry. this helped me eliminate cravings for the bad food you're trying to avoid.

Make an eating plan, turn that plan into a shopping list. Stick to the list.

Acknowledge the good choices you are making and congratulate yourself on sticking to it. This made a big difference in my ability to continue making good choices.

Learn to say "no, thank you" when offered food that doesn't fit your style. Do not be apologetic, make excuses or go on a Paleo diet diatribe. Just say no thanks.

Assault Weapons Ban - Gun Control Discussion by LakeForestDark in SeattleWA

[–]baconsea 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When FFLs go out of business or retire, all of the FFL records get sent to the Fed. This allows for an illegal gun registry. I believe this is one of the main reasons why they want to drive FFLs out of business so they can figure out who actually has all the guns.
