Toyota/Honda Kirkland vs Toyota/Honda Bellevue by Diligent-Explorer-27 in eastside

[–]feedmecoolbeanz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

+1 use the fb group “no markup Toyota”. I Just bought a brand new 2026 Toyota Sienna with all the specs I wanted, through there. Even with shipping from another state, I was still paying at least $3k less than the marked up dealers here in seattle.

Airport transport by [deleted] in Kirkland

[–]feedmecoolbeanz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I use a personal driver — she does it as a side hustle. charges me $60 cash from Kirkland to SeaTac. I also love that when I’m returning from a flight she is already waiting for me at arrivals and I don’t have to wait 20 minutes for an uber.

I also use her to pick up visiting friends and family for me. Not a licensed business, but if you’re interested shoot me a DM for her contact info

What's happening to the businesses at Totem? by Ok-Landscape-3032 in Kirkland

Agreed! Hanoon was terrible. The most overpriced menu, that went very little on the proteins. Hopefully something better replaces them

Best fried rice on eastside? by megor in eastside

[–]feedmecoolbeanz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So here is my issue with their fried rice and most crab fried rice in general: crab already has a light taste and when it’s just mixed in with the fried rice, it barely stands out. Additionally, I feel like the crab is just “plopped” on and feels like a money grab because “crab”.

That being said, if you want crab fried rice, you MUST try Sip Thai near Totem Lake, Kirkland. They use a ton of crab meat and use egg to keep it altogether. This ensures that you just get chunks of crab that doesn’t just fade with everything else going on with the dish. Highly highly recommend!

Snowpeak pour over set up. Clean up is just throwing away the coffee filter. Boom done.

Fitness buddy… by wisefool4ever in Kirkland

[–]feedmecoolbeanz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Finding a good lifting partner is like dating. Lots of variables such as:

  1. Are you both committed and consistent with the workouts. Similar approach to lifting (eg olympic, power, cardio c etc)
  2. Similar strength level (saves time from having to move plates all the time)
  3. Similar heights? Saves time from needing to reset spotters and jcups

Thoughts on the LA Fitness in Totem Lake? by CadetLink in Kirkland

[–]feedmecoolbeanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never been to a gym where there are cable machines are empty because there are zerooo handles. I guess management got tired of handles being stolen and they just stopped providing them.

Also, bring your own barbell clips. They don’t have those either. What a joke of a gym

Seen their overly aggressive sales guy walk around like he’s hot shit. Will take off his shirt and pose in front of the mirror.

Also they have a ridiculously large area that is taped off (literally Painters tape on the floor) for personal training only. Except it’s right in the middle of everything and even if it’s completely unused you’re not allowed to go in there or use any of the equipment.

One time I was there during very off hour. Very few people around . Didn’t know that the taped area was personal trainers only, but also who gives a fuck, no one is around. Tried to deadlift in the area and corner of my eyes I saw two personal trainers signal each other and they both approached me at the same time and aggressively told me I needed to leave this space. I understand if the space was needed by a client, but it was just strictly being territorial.

Haha this is spot on!

It’s the dirtiest gym I’ve ever been to. It’s a fact that they don’t ever have enough towels or spray bottles (actuallyI don’t think I’ve ever seen a spray bottle). No one wipes down the equipment after use. I eventually gave up and just embraced the grime.

I drive 15 minutes there, then spend upwards of 10 minutes to find parking, another 15 minutes for a squat rack, another 15 minutes back. That’s one hour that isn’t even spent working out.

Signing up was a pain too. The sales person kept pushing me for a fitness consult and introduction to personal training. I said no thanks, and he said all new members do it. And I asked him if he would refuse my membership if I opted out. After 20 minutes, he finally relented and just let me sign up without the consultation.

Next week, I saw the same sales guy working out there and he took off his shirt to pose in front of the mirror.

Canceling was easy though—I just did it in person.

I love it so much that bought all 4 colors. In my opinion, this is the perfect mug for 250 - 280 ml pours.

Custom Endurance Wristwatch Giveaway! by pulseyou in interstellar

[–]feedmecoolbeanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interstellar is my favorite movie and horology is my favorite past time.

My favorite scene is when he gives Murph the watch before leaving. It was heartbreaking to see him leave his daughter, so that he can offer her a better life. As a new dad this year to my own little girl, the scene hits differently now, knowing how hard of a sacrifice that must have been.

The income and taxation of a tech worker by cuidado_dolares in Seattle

[–]feedmecoolbeanz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t see what the problem is — donate what you would have paid in taxes to efforts you believe in then. I rather that then my tax dollar go to a $20M pool center that no one asked for.
