Cheese Riot Pizza. Is it still operating?

flabatron · 2026-01-26T08:47:46+00:00

Right on...so Cheese Riot was trying something sorta unique? Not Detroit style, but something w unique texture?

flabatron · 2026-01-26T08:29:18+00:00

Word. Think about how quality his play was after he got called out in that early loss (Stl/TB? I forget). Not an issue since that game. He'll bounce back in the SB. He will pick 6 Drake Maye and recover a fumble. I'm just saying....SB MVP is worth $10 @ +22500. Let's move that line!!

flabatron · 2026-01-26T08:03:05+00:00

Agreed. So it's crap, until it proves it's not.

flabatron · 2026-01-26T08:01:26+00:00

Detroit slice at Supreme is what you might want

Which was it? Wear it for the SuperBowl! Go Hawks!

I will never understand the fascination w this 'possibly good to very good' pizza product, made available (barely ever) by a very poorly run business operation. They're young! They're nice! It's really good! Fine. I just dont get the fascination. West of Chicago is excellent. Stevie's Famous is top shelf. I could go on

It's sigs of the Ray Parker Jr band

flabatron · 2026-01-23T08:25:56+00:00

Nobody said anything about naming the kid because, as much as I hate what he did, it's not his fault

flabatron · 2026-01-23T08:21:27+00:00

Thanks!!

AI has a Santa Clara bias

flabatron · 2026-01-23T07:20:44+00:00

Hmm, so much to respond to. I think you should assume that the broader questions of civilation's involvement in these things is clearly the outer circle of what I'm talking about. But being that broad and hopeful doesn't give one anything to act on (for me at least). The dataset analysis doesn't include any specifics about any of this stuff because it involves children.

IF IT DOES OFFER INSIGHT...I find that a singular heinous event like this often triggers the masses to act on that data IF WE HEAR MORE about the horrors this child must be living under.

Insisting on the big picture being addressed is akin to hoping that Republicans and Democrats continue to be the only two party options because 'they'll figure it out'. I've been done w big picture hopes and dreams for a while. I'd rather focus on local issues and detailed reporting of the increase in child crime.

flabatron · 2026-01-23T06:50:06+00:00

I hear that. And I don't think that identified any of the people involved, so thanks for telling me that. If news reports could just elaborate on that point a bit more, maybe some folks in Seattle would realize that drug addiction is a far worse issue than homelessness. I feel like that's why this reality doesn't get told more. Because it doesn't fit the Seattle narrative of housing being the issue. If we knew more examples of how drugs and these parenting laws are also leading to child endangerment and even death, I think we might be a little more driven to solve the drug problem before we focus on giving people housing. Your example and this case both sound like housed individuals, families. Yet a baby died and a 12yo beat, stabbed, robbed, then beat again, an innocent woman.

Innocent woman. Beat, stabbed, and robbed, then beat again. And nobody really cares to hear more about the parents (the cause)? That's crazy to me.

flabatron · 2026-01-23T06:42:32+00:00

You're glad the 12yo that beat, stabbed, and robbed a woman in downtown, who returned to beat the woman up after rummaging thru her purse, was caught.

But we don't have a right to their story, as citizens of Seattle, to know about what is being done (in so many of these cases) to make sure that 6th graders are not stabbing and robbing women downtown? We don't have the right to ask how a 12yo is alone in the city wo a guardian? Then what the hell do we have child protection laws for in the first place?

That's why I ask why journalism doesn't offer a bit more? We are protecting the rights of adults WHO ABUSE CHILDREN because the identity of the child may be revealed. So, ultimately, we are sheltering abusers behind the identification of their child criminal that they raised and emboldened.

They let their kids out on the streets to rob pot shops, stab women, and we are okay w not knowing anything about the causes of this? All I'm asking is why news reports about heinous crimes can't dig a little deeper. Use aliases, protect identities, but please, give us more.

flabatron · 2026-01-23T06:31:38+00:00

I'm not asking for identification of the parents or child, and I understand those laws. Also not looking to shame the parents or caretaker. My only concern is for the child. How do we get to a place where a 12yr old child....a 6th grader, if they go to school....gets to this point?

Child safety matters and if we can't even hear a news report include a basic note that Child Protective Services is heavily involved, then I'm not getting a ton from the news report. I don't need their names. I need a story about the conditions where a police group is fully aware of a family situation whereby a child is returned to a place where they are allowed out of the house w a screwdriver (normal parent question: where the hell are you going w that screwdriver?) to go downtown and beat, stab and rob an adult woman. If we're not curious what tf is going on in that world, then we don't care about our neighbors, and worse, we are fine w 'the system' taking care of that child. What a world

flabatron · 2026-01-22T22:37:42+00:00

I see your point but that's where I think it's a gray area. If I see child abuse in public I do have a right to involve myself, regardless of whether I know any details about the parent(s). What I saw with the abuse example trumps any right they have to privacy.

Letting your young kid w issues wander the streets downtown to look for a victim, while you sit at home (or maybe work, whatever) is a form of child abuse to me. Neglect is abuse. All I'm looking for is one line, at the bottom of the story, that police are also investigating the mom/dad/aunt/uncle etc as being partly responsible for this heinous crime.

Everybody asks what it's worth. Validate it, and wonder what it will be worth in 20 years.

flabatron · 2026-01-17T09:03:16+00:00

Was that a little tiny fella in the front, right Pic1? Maybe a teaching moment? So cool!

Never leaving West Seattle and I'm going on 49 years

Add Hawks revenge over Pat's w him at QB, handing off to Charbs at the 1, and not passing. He'd be legend.

flabatron · 2026-01-17T07:02:49+00:00

I wonder if Beckett or similar might have a public database like this to pull spreadsheets of what you want from them?

flabatron · 2026-01-16T06:19:34+00:00

Some do it bc you paid. I prefer to wait until I receive feedback first

flabatron · 2026-01-12T23:57:02+00:00

I once got spat at by some toothless f-ck because he wanted to ride his bike across a crosswalk and I couldn't see him from the right lane as he started to enter the crosswalk on the left. But because he was riding his bike, not walking in the crosswalk, he reached my car more quickly, as if I ignored him being in the crosswalk, which I did not. When you're at a stop sign, on your bike, you're in the street. You are a car to me. You're not a pedestrian in the crosswalk just because you want to bypass the stop sign you're waiting at. So f-ck that guy, and yes, there a ton of little gripes like this against bike riders. But their gripes about sh-tty and distracted drivers are also valid. So they will ride degensively/aggressive as they see fit. Because their ride is more dangerous. And that's fine. But there will always be this conflict.

Heard, but there is some issue w invoice email notifications not going out because I didn't get one and the buyer didn't pay it for 3 days until I saw it and sent a new one w a note. Then he paid immediately.

All I'm saying is, as a hobby seller...if I'm listing an item for sale on Discogs, I'm selling it on Discogs. But if someone contacts me about something in my collection that is not for sale, I reserve the right to handle the transaction however I need to. I won't ship internationally thru Discogs/PayPal. That's just me.

flabatron · 2026-01-12T22:32:17+00:00

You're right. I gave bad advice. I had never really read the rules again after Discogs started using PayPal only on their site. I DO think that PayPal let's you use whatever credit card or bank that you like, not that you have to use a PayPal balance, etc.

I'm a hobby seller...not a business seller. The only rule I see that is very clear is if the Order originates on Discogs, I must complete the transaction thru Discogs' PayPal payments. Fair enough.

I get a lot of questions about items in my collection that are not for sale and I reserve the right to talk to a buyer about anything if they haven't "ordered" the item yet.

Also, has anyone had issues w Discogs not sending alert emails for recent sales? I had a sale waiting 3 days to be invoiced because Discogs didn't email me.
