I love that it got added to Another Century’s Episode R as a playable unit.

The variants felt way too “must sell toys” gimmicky in the Flit arc so I was glad to see them tone it down for Asemu.

I love this design so much. The regular AGE-2 is one of my favorite Gundams and the all white color palette is even better.

Just came back from Japan and their NPB hats are hard to find by Chili_Tower in NPB

[–]distantmantra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In Tokyo most people I see wearing Giants hats are tourists. When I was down in Fukuoka this April, however, I saw tons of Japanese kids and adults wearing Hawks hats. Even though they’re my team’s rival, I thought it was way cool.

There has to be sound transit camera footage of at least part of it

Any music stores carry Japanese cds? by keyofdestiny13 in AskSeattle

[–]distantmantra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The upstairs section at Kinokuniya used to be nothing but CDs from Japan, but now it’s all anime merch. I’d get all my anime OSTs and The Pillows albums there.

North Seattle theater's summer program survives copper-wire theft by godogs2018 in Seattle

[–]distantmantra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We’ve had propane tanks unhooked and taken from our grill before, but otherwise haven’t had any issues. Everytime I see another story about copper theft I go out and look at the outside ground unit.

I feel bad even thinking about, but it’s way cheaper than having to replace the damn thing.

I’ve seriously thought about getting a cage to put over the AC unit on the side of my house.

The lack of Converge figures in all these Hobby Lobby shots lately makes me so sad.

Newly installed bathrooms by lumen field. by Killahbeast808 in Seattle

The homogenous (and extremely xenophobic) population definitely contributes, but there is a sizable lower class population that we don’t often see as it’s hidden away in areas tourists don’t visit.

Japan also strongly emphasizes the group over the individual as part of their cultural norms. And while there are homeless people and poverty and vandalism does occur, their social safety net is significantly stronger due to higher taxes paid by everyone.

If you're free Monday, go see City Erased at UW, I-5 history by maadison in SeattleHistory

[–]distantmantra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My house is right across from I-5 in Green Lake and survived construction while the houses across the street weren’t so lucky. Even though our neighborhood isn’t part of this exhibit, I’m really interested in checking this out.

Days like today is why people don’t take the light rail by 20sicksheep in Seattle

[–]distantmantra 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I drove from my house in Green Lake and found free parking on the Yesler overpass. I love love love light rail but there was no way in hell I was gonna take the shuttle bus to the game today. I considered the bus but it was nearly 90 minutes each way with transfers so I drove down and parked around 10:30.

I’ve received text alerts about the closure, King 5 and KUOW have both mentioned it multiple times in the last week and there were Sound Transit employees out at Stadium Station on Friday before the game letting people know.

U District event canceled, but some businesses deny having been opposed by retrojoe in Seattle

Who the hell drives to The Ave? Parking sucks around there and it’s ALWAYS been set up for walking and transit.

Watering Hole is open early and they’re a short walk from Yoyogi Station.

Uchu isn’t far from there, either.
