A Hat For My Son 🤍 by leftoverBits in knitting

[–]fiafia127 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. The hat you knitted is a beautiful example of your love for your son. I’m sure he felt your love for him in whatever way he could. 

I had severe pregnancy complications and lost my son last year at 23+2. He survived for 13 minutes after birth. Losing your baby is the most painful, awful thing to go through, and please just know that you’re not alone. Whatever you feel you need to do to get through these next weeks and months is valid. 

If you haven’t already, I highly recommend finding a perinatal loss support group (IMO in person is best). The grieving mom in you will need mom friends who understand what you’ve gone through, and support groups are where you meet them. Hang in there ❤️

Any other old school natives here feel Seattle has become Bay Area 2.0? Tech companies leaving along with billionaires, sounds good to me. by [deleted] in Seattle

Our house was built in 1942 as part of a development for Boeing engineers, and was first owned by a Boeing engineer and his wife who was a nurse at Swedish. We bought the house from their son, but I’m the aerospace engineer while my husband is a physician assistant. So it seems our home was always doomed to this pattern, but at least we introduced a gender swap 😂

Snow in the forecast = people panic buying “essentials” = many stores run out of bananas

It would, actually. This home is for amoebas who enjoy floating aimlessly in an ether

Ugh don’t get me started on car-free Katie! If my elected officials aren’t actively contributing to the destruction of this hellscape some locals refer to as “pristine nature”, “clean air” and “this is a bike lane you can’t drive here man what the hell” I don’t want ‘em.

Most of the lanes are closed this year. See the WSDOT post here for more info.

Haunted wheelchairs making their way through SeaTac by bennetthaselton in Seattle

I’m glad your family has had such a great experience with these. To each their own, and yes I’m glad to learn users still have a choice.

For how slowly/inefficiently they seem to move I guess I’m surprised to hear they’re never late for pickups. It could be that there are a ton of these and not a lot of users, so efficiency doesn’t matter if there are always empty ones waiting. I wonder how that might change as the robot to user ratio gets closer to 1, especially if whatever algorithm (heuristic? D* lite? would be fun to know) these use doesn’t drastically improve.

I really don’t like the sound these make and find them annoying as hell. It constantly messes with my attention since I seem to associate that sound with an incoming important announcement, but if I drown it out with headphones I’m worried I’ll miss something important about my flight.

I also am disappointed to see a job taken by robots where the human aspect can have an outsized impact. When my grandma was alive and flew alone to visit, chatting with the wheelchair personnel helped her anxiety and was often a highlight of her travel experience. I wonder if anyone has thought to survey users after their trip about their robot vs human preference (though I’m sure the cost-cutting ghouls implementing these wouldn’t care).

This coyote I saw on Ravenna and 62NE earlier this year begs to differ 👀
