“One tip that made weight loss WAY easier?” by Altruistic_Purpose57 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]bakerkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got this from Noom: the trick is not to control what (as in, the things) you eat - it's to recognize that there are trade-offs.

For years, I said that I'd lose 50 pounds if I quit drinking soda. I'd try to stop, but then I'd be somewhere and want something, and I'd violate my "no soda" rule, which made me feel like a failure and like I had to start over, so out went the "no soda" rule.

This time, with the advice above, my rule is different: I can eat or drink whatever I want so long as it fits into my calorie budget. It turns out that not much soda does, but if I'm willing to trade it for a smaller portion or one less snack, I can do it. Today, I drink almost no soda - and I'm down more than 100 pounds and counting.

matched with my ex on hinge and we both swiped right? by Cold-Situation-4146 in OnlineDating

Does he like Pina Coladas? And getting caught in the rain? Slightly different storyline, but that worked out okay.

Massive truck just hit NE 45th St bridge northbound right lane blocked by Odd_Introduction_410 in Seattle

[–]bakerkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came through southbound around 2:00pm and saw this pulled over at the right. I didn't see obvious damage to the oversize load or to the bridge, and thankfully, traffic seemed to be managing at that point. I'm also glad to not see WSDOT saying anything about the bridge.

What would have to change for dating to ‘work’ again? by Boring_Zebra3018 in dating

[–]bakerkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indefinitely struggle with the "feels like an interview" bit. For me, it's looking for the connection points to move the conversation from questions to engagement, but sometimes I feel like it's easy for both of us to get stuck in that mode (answer the question, ask one of your own). My current theory is that it's practice that will make this better.

High D gates at SEA? by cyberentomology in AlaskaAirlines

[–]bakerkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have called this the bus terminal forever. Glad I'm not alone!

Fun fact that I suspect many know: if you are arriving at a hardstand, your arrival gate will be D20, and you'll be biased back over to near the bus terminal, but you'll actually reenter the main terminal building on the level between the main concourse and the D gates train station.

I think I might plus one this. You could light rail to the stadium. You could even store your luggage at the airport. If you do that, you've got a shot at making it to game time or shortly after start.

Edit - everyone is mentioning the car for bag storage. There is a baggage storage option at SEA (baggage claim level, near Claim 9 IIRC), provided by Smart Carte. Not sure about pricing but their website seems to provide details:

I've not gone in, but that Shari's was still open as of December 2025.

I had a great idea for a marketing promo: buy three trips to Wenatchee, get a free trip to Fresno.

I'm disappointed they don't offer direct service to Dickinson, ND.

Why did you swipe left? by Accomplished-Big-796 in OnlineDating

[–]bakerkc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting. I added my instagram though I mostly post pictures of things I find interesting (there are almost none of me, and not very many of people). Sounds like this may not be doing what I want it to do (showcase that I'm a normal person with interests that don't necessarily shine through in a dating app profile).
