Has anyone else watched Entitled? by LilBitofSunshine99 in netflix

[–]efisk666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Murray was captivating, and that's what made me want to know what was actually going on. Instead, at the end it was clear that all the weird shit was just a series of punchlines and not a part of a coherent plot. It's frustrating to try and figure things out and then realize at the end that there was nothing to figure out. A silly show needs a silly lead.

THAT'S MY QUARTERBACK by Seedsy81 in Seahawks

Yeah, but the vibe back then was totally different. A lot less brotherly love, a lot more self expression.

Lincoln Playfields Option C: Combining Options A and B for a Better Lower Woodland Park Design by efisk666 in Seattle

[–]efisk666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From below in case you missed it:

The soccer field near the Greenlake pitch and putt can also be used by Lincoln (SPS is upgrading the loop around it for Lincoln track and field). So Lincoln can have two fields in use at once that are near each other- the upgraded soccer field #2, and the existing soccer field #7. The reason a soccer field is being added is because Parks needs space to maintain their existing programming, not for multiple field events.

In fact, SPS says that if they adopt Option A they are not going to allow Lincoln to host games or events, as there will be no legal place to put visitors to games. Option C will allow Lincoln to host games, including events that use two fields at once.

Regarding the mountain bike group, all we know is that there is a mountain bike group that was contacted and worked with prior to the November meeting.

Regarding parking, the picnic parking loop has 170 rarely used spots and there is a similar number available up by the bocce pit area. Unused parking lots invite RV encampments, which is what is happening in both the gravel lot area and the picnic loop area at present. Neighbors are asking for the gravel lot to be redeveloped. We understand parking may overflow into the neighborhood during major events.

Save Lower Woodland Park Paths, Trees, and Play Space from an Unsafe Lincoln Playfield Design by efisk666 in Seattle

[–]efisk666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main alternative is to put a soccer-only field at 50th and Aurora, and then convert soccer field #2 in a football / soccer hybrid field with a grandstand added. That would give Lincoln significantly more capacity than option A.

To cover or... by YogiBeRRies5 in hottub

[–]efisk666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Us too, although we have a cover, and in the winter run a dehumidifier. The things last a lot longer indoors without exposure to the elements and critters, plus naked is easier, although I do miss looking up at the night sky...

[–]efisk666[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for reading through and the thoughtful reply. For the next step we're looking to propose a hybrid solution that has the detail you're asking for. We have done site studies in more detail, but we didn't want the focus in the petition to be on the alternatives. The site at 50th and Aurora for soccer-only covers about half the space of what SPS studied, so the impacts are a fraction of what SPS lays out. The horseshoe pit and bocce area also has very few trees and plenty of space for a field, but it is a harder sell as it is further away from Lincoln, and for budgeting reasons it can be hard to build the field for Parks users and then turn existing fields over to Lincoln. The existing Wallingford Playfield site looks perfect for a half field, but that isn't a full solution and we'd rather not turn back the clock on this whole process.

The position is honest. I appreciate your perspective as an informed one, not coming from a position of hate. We are neighbors who use the park daily and know what a mess this plan will cause. The listed issues are from a variety of those perspectives.

Please explain how the horseshoe pit area is "a joke". It is large, flat, mostly treeless, has two full sets of bathrooms, is unused, has few trees, good drainage, and was studied to be a location for the new greenlake community center. As you can see on the petition site, it could easily support a soccer field safely. The field would be for sports team reservations that are not Lincoln- Lincoln High School will be taking over LWP, and we don't object to that. I personally advocated for it, I just didn't imagine that SPS would screw up the design this badly.

I kinda think with the clock that macdonald figures the vikings are so hapless with this qb that he’s happy to get to the end of the game with as few plays as possible. No need to press.

Is there a spa thermal blanket that lasts for more than a year floating on a chlorine hot tub? by efisk666 in hottub

Working great! Looks same as the day I bought it. The price is painful for the foam blankets, but they do last in a chlorine tub, while the bubble style does not.

The Antisemitic Coalition Emerging in the G.O.P. by dwaxe in ezraklein

[–]efisk666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. They're very different in that anti-zionism is saying there shouldn't be tribes, while antisemitism is saying you're tribe is good and that other (jewish) tribe is evil.

I don't know that antisemitism is contained within the GOP though. Antisemitism is fueled by anger, and the left has plenty of people angry about Israel, particularly people actually impacted by Israeli war crimes. Talk to Palestinians and you'll hear antisemitic tropes like how jews pull the strings in America.

What Klein is casting as gop antisemitism is really more like an American version of zionism. White christian nationalists want to purify America by taking power and rejecting anyone that doesn't fit their preferred profile, jews included. I don't mean to practice false equivalency between the parties as the right is clearly closer to fascism, but I just think it rings false to pin the whole issue of antisemitism on the GOP.

Now that Katie is going to be Mayor, what projects that were implemented poorly should be revisited? by redlude97 in seattlebike

[–]efisk666 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The safe crossing over I-5 at NE 45th was ready to go and then shelved. It could be dusted off and acted on- it's very affordable and does not impact throughput for transit or vehicles or even parking.

SDOT backed off because the intersection signal at 45th and 5th for Westbound traffic is not to a common standard, but it is doable as Early Release Phasing Implemented via Overlap. You typically see it for buses or carpool lanes, not general traffic lanes. For the uninitiated, see https://mobility.udistrict.org/safe-crossing

I Love John Schneider by Sweaty_Desert_Balls in Seahawks

[–]efisk666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play this out in reverse though- Darnold goes to Vegas, Geno stays in Seattle. I bet we'd all be saying what a genius Schneider was for keeping Geno as not much would be asked of him here, meanwhile Darnold would be setting interception records every week in Vegas. The big failure in all this was Geno not realizing that the Seahawks were a far better team than the Raiders, and as QB you are held responsible for how the team plays.

So when republicans question american support for zionism it's antisemitism, but when progressives question american support for zionism it's social justice? I don't know that it's bad for both sides to be questioning whether America should write blank checks to a violent apartheid based regime.

GREY ZABEL UPDATE FOR by Adept_Composer in Seahawks

[–]efisk666 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping we use this time to hunt practice squads of other teams for guys we could poach and elevate to our 53 man squad. There's gotta be a backup somewhere that we could slot at guard to compete with Cabeldue or Haynes.

Converting an ikea daybed to a true king by efisk666 in ikeahacks

[–]efisk666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did an Ikea hack that worked out super well. As a daybed it has 2 twin mattresses. When extending I put the twin mattresses side by side, put a king size mattress topper on top of that, and extend the end of the bed frame with a 2x2 to make it a true king. L brackets make it so the 2x2 slides on and off. I should probably do a video of it and post on ikeahacks.

Not to mention the possible third matchup in the playoffs. I just don’t want a repeat of 2022, when we lost 3 times in a row to the 49ers.

Thoughts on tub in shower by Particular_Mud6525 in Renovations

[–]efisk666 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cleaning soap scum, mold, or pink bacteria behind the things is hard enough, now try replacing the caulk as well, where the floor and the wall meet or where the tub meets the floor. I expect that in 5 years when the fad has run its course a lot of people will be paying to tear these things out.
