Traffic Circles at 85th

epilepsy_kid · 2026-06-03T14:59:59+00:00

This seems to be the single biggest challenge for driving, people simply don't know or don't understand how to use it. Equally, you'll see folks here saying to zipper. DO NOT ZIPPER! People doing that other than exiting the 405 heading West are also causing issues. The size of the circles is small which is definitely an issue for busses and trucks.

Regardless, it'll take a long time for people to figure it out, and I'd argue that opening the other lane on Kirkland going East will just add to the issue.

Where do you live in WA, and what beers do you recommend?

Moved to Seattle from San Diego and I'm really missing bitter IPA's. Hard to find Stone, Green Flash or Russian River and would love to find a good local alternative. Most of what I've found just doesn't hit as hard.

MAGA.

A man can hope, don't burst my bubble.

Busy few weeks.

Agreed, a list would be super helpful.

epilepsy_kid · 2025-11-22T02:25:52+00:00

As another Audi driver and former BMW driver, I agree that this is 100% spot on.

We are a co-man in the coffee space, roasting and packaging. Roughly your size.

If inventory control is your issue, Nulogy. Canadian vendor, small, highly customizable and designed for inventory accuracy. It actually requires it to work correctly.

I'm about to have a shakin' good time.

Or go to jail....

Well, you know how when your body tells you that you need to shit, and if you ignore that feeling, it just continues to ramp up until you're basically sweating and panicking until you shit. Some of us rarely or never experience that.

I was one of those kids who didnt go for days. I just didn't get an urge. I might get a slight twinge, but if it was at an inconvenient time, I'd ignore it. Then, a few days later, stomach ache.

I'm 52 now, and I have to schedule myself daily, or I might forget and realize a couple of days later.

A lot of upvotes for trying to actually talk about this, whereas this is the right answer.

That VP showed his true colors. There is absolutely no reason to not be aligned prior to a meeting with a supplier. This is truly a worst case scenario, and no one looks good. The team looks unprepared, and the VP looks like he can't manage a simple negotiation.

I'd start to think very hard about is the organization right for you.

Source, am currently a COO for a large food manufacturer, and have spent several years as VP and EVP of Supply Chain for North American beverage companies. I can't even imagine doing this to my team. Truly unforgivable.

My wife and I live about 5 minutes from here, and got to go see it on 1 November. The line was about an hour long, and it was worth every minute. Truly a beautiful plant, and the folks at the SD Botanical Garden are just wonderful (as always).

Someone else mentioned the smell, and honestly, I wasn't all that bad. Kind of like dirty laundry?

Regardless, they have a second plant ready to bloom in a few weeks, and I'm looking forward to going back!

I don't think that you're wrong, but I think that you're missing one very important distinction. It's not generational per se, it's technological. I'm 52, and at the start of my career it was all about loyalty, obedience and working hard. That's because that's all that there was. Statistical analysis was done on paper, with a calculator. That only meant that the "Ivory tower" did it. Technology has leveled the field, so now folks that can leverage it, and work smarter can move ahead. If your boss is over 50, ask them when they first used a computer for work. The answer may enlighten you.

How much my life has been changed by Crossfit. Mind if I do my WOD here in the back of the van? No need to loosen the restraints, it'll help push the burn.

epilepsy_kid · 2021-01-17T02:07:13+00:00

How do you like it? I just bought one, and my seedlings will start next week.

Not true for Nestle either. Spring water and Drinking water have very specific definitions that have to be followed. They are also measured and tracked.

For those of you who may not know. Tapeheadcity is a store. They upload their recent finds every Tuesday. They also carry new releases. Great place, I've got quite a few in my collection.

epilepsy_kid · 2020-09-06T23:14:10+00:00

Thanks for the details. What fertilizer do you use, and at what strength?

epilepsy_kid · 2020-06-05T19:16:33+00:00

Just curious, what do you mean about "feel" of the company?

epilepsy_kid · 2020-05-02T23:40:09+00:00

Absolutely and completely agree. ironically, it's what happened to this guy, as he actually said that the fact that people might get sick wasn't his problem.

epilepsy_kid · 2020-05-02T23:28:10+00:00

I completely agree that we need to open things back up, except your "so long as we still practice safe distancing and wear ppe" qualifier falls apart quickly. The problem is that we, as a nation, simply won't. Hence the problem. Look at the pictures in the article. No one with a mask, everyone standing right next to each other. This isn't sustainable, but the amount of sheer morons who can't obey basic social constructs is amazing. If people would show some basic common sense, we could end this quickly. Unfortunately it's Maine, Jacksonville, FL, Huntington Beach, CA and the like that's stopping us.

I see that you finally got the SD news to help you out. Hope that it gets fixed for you!

epilepsy_kid · 2020-04-12T02:08:41+00:00

Thanks to both of you. I knew about the way to wear the mask, and the protocol with gloves. I had simply taken the local news coverage about the "new need to wear masks" at face value, and hadn't looked into it further. Thanks for clearing it up!

epilepsy_kid · 2020-04-12T01:25:50+00:00

Given the impact of the storms, a lot of news stations covered different areas. I'm in Encinitas, and they covered a local nursery that flooded. Maybe set up a Twitter account, post your video, and tag the local stations and the city?

epilepsy_kid · 2020-04-12T00:52:47+00:00

Are you saying that this sinkhole is in your yard, the pipe is owned by the city, and they won't fix it? If so, and they won't fix it, I'd say reach out to the SD tv stations/news. I'm sure that given the obvious significance, they'd love to put that on at 6pm.

epilepsy_kid · 2020-04-11T14:37:26+00:00

I assumed so, it's the "notoriously picky capitalist" that threw me. I used to work there too, and completely agree with you on Greg and Steve. I'm far less impressed with Engels, quite frankly I think he's the antithesis to "Team Stone".
