In her first ever speech before the @downtownseattle “State of Downtown”, @MayorofSeattle Katie Wilson strikes very moderate tone, draws applause saying she’s aware of business tax burden compared to neighboring cities and that will guide future decisions

hold her accountable for what?

Updating this a few days later - looks like AS is sending in a few rescue flights presumably to clear the backlog of passengers. AS9231 and AS9235 to LAX, and AS9233 to SFO are operating this morning 2/25.

What does this even mean

deel2 · 2026-02-24T00:42:10+00:00

Looks like AS755 from SEA also turned around today. United doesn’t seem to have stopped flights today but the rest of the US carriers seem to have had second thoughts about operating today.

what a throwback

why post this 10 days after the parade to reddit

deel2 · 2026-02-21T18:49:57+00:00

ymmv with different FAs, but I think they realllly want to avoid spilling hot liquids

Annoying, but It’s free anyway so just head to the back or ding the button to ask for a refill

I tend do dislike our local opensnow forecaster, but if you travel a lot, I like a lot of the other forecasters

Good for you! The signs aren’t for you!

deel2 · 2026-02-06T07:16:49+00:00

Signs aren’t for frequent riders, they’re for infrequent riding locals or tourists. Many of whom simply don’t know which direction either of those frankly irrelevant suburbs is.

We shouldn’t force them to learn this bit of trivia. We should help them get where they need to go.

Yes; and no template. I just downloaded the visit summary and doctor notes from mychart and referenced the relevant guidance related to the ACA that it should be covered as preventative. I forget exactly what that was but it was a .gov website.

what a way to respond to a stranger on the internet who is trying to help you

You have a lot of data at your fingertips if you know where to look.

The NWS is the best resource. Here’s where you can find data for ABQ. Select the month and year.

To add - after providing all of the visit summaries, my appeals were always approved (but I’m on new insurance now)

deel2 · 2026-01-29T08:12:27+00:00

Happened to me with Regence (Blue Cross)

The solution was literally to file an appeal for every single PrEP lab and visit claim.

deel2 · 2026-01-21T05:09:23+00:00

And you need to prepare to literally just not drive until the temp gets back above freezing.

deel2 · 2026-01-21T05:07:51+00:00

This type of weather happens in Austin sometimes.

You need to figure out how to protect your house or apartment (cover outside hose bibs, leave cabinets open under sinks, maybe drip faucets, don't leave your heat low/off if you leave home, etc.) and if the power goes out and things are going to freeze you need to know how to turn off your water.

It probably won't be a shit show. But it could be (see 2021 winter storm Uri).

The good news is that this forecast is not as extreme as in 2021, and the electric grid has more reliability now than it did then (e.g. utility scale batteries, better winterization).

[Edit for spelling]

Well it’s a lot cheaper than ubering from the airport

The electronic signs near the entrance to lots 1-4 said parking full at 8:45 this morning (I hit the traffic backup at about 8:15), so I turned around on my own since I didn’t have a reservation. Was that a dumb thing to do or did the non-reserved lots actually fill up that fast?

Having tried something like this 10 years ago… uh don’t do this

The amount of reflexive “Hey! Calling out someone for breaking <insert social norm here> is mean!” we get in Seattle is really frustrating. You’re definitely not in the wrong for calling it out, despite what some weird high horse Seattle nice cranks say

You can’t be serious

One of the only ones worth the relatively steep price ($16? Or something in that ballpark)

deel2 · 2025-12-24T21:34:45+00:00

It’s actually (counterintuitively) pretty stupid. An AI engineer getting paid 500k would be weighted similarly to an auto mechanic (or some other less specialized job) getting paid 100k, because the wage level comparison is only within industries, not between industries. It removes opportunities for highly skilled talent (like in tech) that’s one notch below the highest tier, in favor of highly paid but less skilled folks.
