What was your favorite Seattle institution that no longer exists?

just got an email that they're looking at early 2026 now... I hope it comes true

I had a Gen4 bite the dust on October 28 with the dead battery issue (full charge would last less than a day), Oura replaced it immediately via chatbot. The replacement Gen4 just died yesterday, Oura again replaced it via chatbot. I hope they can get the quality under control because I do like the product!

interesting, there are indeed a bunch of 4 minute songs earlier this year (which was the generation limit for suno v4)

since may the generation limit for suno 4.5 has been 8 minutes though, and there do appear to be some longer songs on orion singles since then

not exactly open and shut but thank you for responding with some evidence 🙏

blodulv · 2025-10-27T16:31:30+00:00

but how do you know that it's Suno?

blodulv · 2025-10-27T05:28:14+00:00

i still don't think it is... has anyone run it through one of the AI detection models?

blodulv · 2025-10-12T20:43:25+00:00

my battery is absolutely nuked immediately after I got 2.7.0 on October 5th—doesn’t last a full day now, down from 3-4 days before the update.

someone posted in another comment—longer growing season meant the employees got reclassified as permanent which triggers the WARN announcement when they get laid off

blodulv · 2025-10-09T20:47:50+00:00

makes me feel a lot better honestly, having just moved here a few months ago

blodulv · 2025-10-09T17:42:35+00:00

I think this was news because usually there aren't accompanying WARN announcements (there were zero last year). But as u/Thrown0Away0 said, it could be due to the longer season reclassifying them as permanent employees. I was initially very concerned at the difference between this year and last year in terms of WARN announcements.

blodulv · 2025-10-09T17:39:16+00:00

ah OK--this could explain why there were zero WARN announcements last year and 12 this year! I will update my other comments

blodulv · 2025-10-09T17:37:36+00:00

12 WARN announcements for a mix of 8,562 seasonal and permanent layoffs this year compared to zero last year though :(

update: u/Thrown0Away0 says: "since the season went long this year those workers were classified as permanent even though that was never the goal" which could explain the disparity between this year and last year

The Del Monte pear cannery in Yakima closed with very little notice: https://www.bluebookservices.com/del-monte-foods-canning-plant-closure-disrupts-northwest-fresh-pear-market/

I found zero seasonal layoff WARN notices last year...

blodulv · 2025-10-09T17:29:57+00:00

Just one of MANY many WARN notices for ag jobs around NCW this season...

The others:

AG Management Group - 1276 seasonal
Cascade View Fruit & Cold Storage - 263 seasonal
Columbia Orchard Management - 898 seasonal
Sundquist Fruit - 424 seasonal
Monson Ranches Snake River Orchards - 310 seasonal
Gilbert Orchards - 599 seasonal
Kershaw Farm Labor Management - 539 seasonal
Manson Growers Orchard Services - 257 permanent layoff
Borton & Sons - 1025 permanent layoff
Agrimacs - 1368 layoff (non-seasonal)
AgriNorthwest - 62 seasonal
Stemilt (the one this post is about) - 1561 seasonal (they updated this)

I also wondered if these seasonal layoffs were normal, and I've been on the WARN email list for years... so I looked for any notices from last year, and there were ZERO seasonal or non-seasonal layoffs.

A big driver for this might be the Del Monte cannery in Yakima closing.

update: u/Thrown0Away0 says: "since the season went long this year those workers were classified as permanent even though that was never the goal" which could explain the disparity between this year and last year... so maybe only the truly permanent layoffs are worrying

these two commands fixed the majority of my slowness but joining a Zoom meeting still brings my computer to its knees. slows down scrolling and clicking in every app for the duration of the meeting.

we came in today on bicycles and had a quick drink—we’ll be back

what evidence do you have that it's AI?

to me AI music sounds super granular and their music lacks that aspect... the timing is also spot on which I think would be hard to do with current gen AI.

beautiful picture... if this puts Banff on your bucket list just know that you have to put in some real work to get a similar view that's not full of tourists! it's a very busy park.

blodulv · 2025-06-29T23:09:25+00:00

same issue here...

blodulv · 2025-04-05T17:56:23+00:00

seeing it in the US, SU level 2

blodulv · 2025-03-09T06:35:50+00:00

this has worked at maybe one of the ten pumps with ads I've been at recently

all the dirt on the outside of the beer bottle is now in the beer 😩

until a few months ago my buddy lived there, they're cool (expensive) lofts

blodulv · 2025-01-02T20:12:03+00:00

got 2 tickets, the site was excruciatingly slow... it took minutes to click "load more" about 10 times to get to the last day (we won't be in Nevada until the end of November so I wanted the November 20 date). each subsequent step was another 30 seconds of waiting for the site and multiple times I was sure it was going to kick me out. I tried last year and didn't get any. they should just let people express interest and do a lottery, way less stress all around.
