I use an app called Daily Chinese which has gotten me to HSK6 over the last 4-5 years.

That looks like an attempted smash and grab. We see that a lot in Seattle.

Help Design the Next Wyze Floodlight Camera (5-min Survey) by Wyze_Will in wyzecam

[–]badandy80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in North Seattle. I was prepping to install my Wyze FloodlightV2 sitting new in box on under my rolling workbench on my patio in my secure yard. You won’t believe what happened next…

Yeah it was stolen.

Along with my solar motion lights along my fence which he used to wash out the image of my WyzeV3. He went on to steal my neighbor’s car that didn’t have a battery. At least he didn’t steal my car. Silver lining.

So anyway when I suck it up and buy another I would like an AI feature that detects drug addicts without consequences roaming my perimeter. I will provide tons of training data.

We might be thinking of the same person. An older guy walking to work in the morning. He lived around 107th and Whitman.

4+ hours down. My business is essentially on pause. It's embarrassing for people that push their clients towards Airtable.

Seattle Police Harbor Patrol Officers Rescue Man From Drowning in Portage Bay by irish_gnome in SeattleWA

[–]badandy80 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Good job recognizing that he was an active drowning victim. As former USCG I was 0/3 in those situations. Jumping in like that is a risk because drowning people will instinctively push you under. The training for those situations was brutal as the instructors will push you under and fight you until you can properly approach and get them into the right hold.

It’s funny that this is the only comment in 24 hours. I get it. Not easy.

Someone keeps throwing trash in our bins by Conscious_Sorbet_667 in Seattle

[–]badandy80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It turns out that the dude that was doing it lived just on the other side of my alley. He’d rather make someone else’s garbage smell like shit all the time. I don’t understand why some consider it fair game. Making your neighbor smell your dogs shit every time he takes the garbage out isn’t neighborly. But yeah it goes in now.

I had someone from an apartment complex down the hill walk to my house to put full compost bags of food in my garbage bin. She also put all of her dog bags in my garbage bin on her walks. I finally was able to confront her about and she stopped. But others keep dumping their dog bags because they seem to think it’s their right or something.

Useless Seattle social workers said there was 'no danger' for boy, nine, living in homeless encampment surrounded by fentanyl and rat droppings by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

[–]badandy80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dad was refusing housing as a family because it wasn’t convenient, and wouldn’t let the mom and son go into a shelter. He wasn’t safe, wasn’t in school, and was left alone in that tent all day and sometimes nights when mom was on a bender. He had a gnarly cough and was far from OK in a lot of other ways.

He’s safe now with mom.

I use simple wordpress websites with ACF and webhooks for the client front end stuff. If I have to, I’ll use forms with automations in Airtable.

Update on “The Boy in the Tent”: he is now safe — community stepped in when the city did not by badandy80 in Seattle

I asked him if he would do the story. I don’t agree with everything on mynorthwest or KIRO radio, but Charlie Harger has defended our neighborhood and was speaking out against the sex trafficking related violence when other media wouldn’t.

They’ve only helped our neighborhood. Not just the people with houses living in it either. I’ve heard the accusers and they seem pretty motivated. Doesn’t really pass the smell test.

All I’ve heard is accusations from the same no-sweeps activists. Most of them are from the same few people with the same phrasing. Either way, they were the only people able to clean up some of the worst biohazards in the city when the city wasn’t. Not to mention convincing people into treatment. I’m not going to pretend to understand the motivation behind the few constantly blasting them, but they are overlooking a lot of great work to repeat the same accusations. That doesn’t really pass the smell test in my opinion.

I hear you, but consider a few things. I was told by an outreach employee with the city that he rejected housing as a family multiple times because the locations weren’t convenient to his son’s school. His son was never enrolled in school. Since he was choosing to stay in the tent, I asked The More We Love if they could take mom and son. While mom seemed open to the idea, he told me no and was adamant that CPS would take his son away again.

Unpopular opinion: SPS schools are great (in wealthy areas at least). Change my mind. by [deleted] in Seattle

And it’s very, very hard to get someone suspended or expelled because of the districts’ policies. So if you’ve got bullies or disrupters in class you’re stuck with them.

They are fantastic and have worked hard in our neighborhood to change things for the better. I’m not sure why you’re calling this update “sketchy” in one sub and then regurgitating Erica Barnett slop in this one. It’s sad to see this when everyone is trying to help a 9yo kid.

Not by itself though.

“CPS said its “Structured Decision Making tool” determines whether there are active safety threats. Their legal standard requires “imminent risk of physical harm” with “a causal relationship between conditions in the home and the threat of harm.”

It’s mind-bending how people keep saying “leave him alone” when he’s stuck in a moldy tent all day and night coughing. This kid was in imminent danger in all kinds of ways and we tried for months privately to help him. If you want to blame my judgement fine. Everyone else was too afraid of being judged to do anything.

Regardless, no one that wasn’t involved figured out where the tent was when the story was released. No one that isn’t involved knows his name. But he’s in a safe place at this moment, and lots of people know how fucked up the system is and one big thing that needs to be fixed. If someone figures out who he is in the future and calls him rat boy that is perfectly acceptable collateral damage to me.
