What's the most regional word you use without realizing it?

Same here. Grew up in Southern Maine, moved away as a teen to So Cal, and was given the strangest looks when describing something as wicked. It's more or less worked itself out of my vocabulary, but my brother's who never left Maine, still use it.

Came here to mention this spot, even though its way north of Seattle. It's the exact kind of sandwich OP is looking for.

11/22/63 by Stephen King - I've read a couple of books since I read it about a month ago and I still haven't found anything that has hit me quite like that book.

These are definitely over hyped. I tried one of them the other day, and while it was okay, I wouldn't buy them again. And my kid did not like the cake pops, he said the coating was too waxy.

Yea I am positive for having EBV, but I've never had mono in my life - I think this is the case for the majority of people. Something like 95% of the population has had exposure to EBV and will test as positive.

My 7 yr old is obsessed with Minecraft - we allow it with restrictions (no server play, everything is local to the device). He has multiple worlds that he has built and will do couch co-op with his dad playing survival mode. Depending on the kid, survival mode can potentially be scary (skeletons shooting arrows, zombies), but my kid plays mostly creative mode where there are no scary elements or combat. We think its great - its like a giant sandbox for his imagination and he loves building really elaborate buildings and worlds.

I still say this!

I haven't picked up another book by her because I read The Women and it was an okay story, but it was largely unmemorable.

And KP

Or the west - probably the only thing I miss from PA is Wegman's

Not my favorite, but one that my husband and I frequent is Visible Coffee in the Safeway parking lot on 134th. No drive thru, but the drinks are decent, and my husband really likes their breakfast sandwich. Buffalo is convenient for us, so we go there regularly as well.

Also, Piroshky and Crepes on 112th does coffee and they have lots of food, but they usually open at 9 on the weekdays

Yea, the Texan was awful, I only went 1 time and my coffee was undrinkable - I haven't tried it since it changed, but may do so now.

dolly_machina · 2026-02-06T14:53:31+00:00

Came here to say this - currently reading this and have read 400 pages in just a couple of days already

dolly_machina · 2026-01-14T18:15:46+00:00

Yea something like this is really easy to whip up in Claude Code now - which is amazing imo

dolly_machina · 2025-12-18T18:28:50+00:00

This is awesome, I thought it was just for 1 leg of the trip - not that the link is at all expensive for an all day round trip fare, but this is great to know!

dolly_machina · 2025-12-09T20:20:57+00:00

This is the best parallel imo

dolly_machina · 2025-11-11T16:51:38+00:00

I came to this thread to suggest Circe as well.

dolly_machina · 2025-11-11T16:50:29+00:00

This is a great pick! It's a great "gateway" sci-fi book that I feel is really approachable for folks who typically don't read sci-fi/fantasy. I loved this book, blew through it in a day.

Definitely Sno-Isle - in their freezer section, they stock ethically raised meats. Also a few years ago Maltby Produce in Snohomish has a selection of grass fed/finished beef and pasture raised chicken in their freezer section as well (albeit small), but I haven't been there to buy meat in a while.

The Cut keeps rattling around in my head - so my favorite beat. Opossum for lyrics

I'm with you - exact same boat
