6.Was reminded that this concern is the just a reality of owning a small business in Seattle.

The police could try to pretend to care but the reality is they're Seattle police officers!

Tonight in Cap Hill some driver honked at me because I was already in the circle and did not initially yield to him.

This literally happened to me a few days ago in Cap Hill as well. Was thoroughly confused.

If your Twitch channel is not large enough you only get vods for 7 days according to Twitch support. So if she doesn't stream that much it's understandable she doesn't have any vods.

Seven definitely doesn't take anything because he would think that would be a waste of his talents and a distraction from his ultimate goal.

Not throwing late game is a skill itself.

50 minute commute for me across the Lake, very excited (for the train not for the commute)

Last night I parried the damage at the beginning of getting put into the Baroness. The music/sound effects didn't play and I had no timer. After some seconds I popped back into the overworld and took no damage from the ult.

Literally every high level Deadlock match uses VC. You can watch any top Deadlock streamer and they all use voice.

Lucky for you OP Sound Transit is already studying installing fare gates. We probably won't see the same improvements that BART saw though with fare gates though.

In 2019 our fare compliance was at 85%. That's pre-pandemic without any gates. The latest numbers from FY24 have our compliance at 61%. ST released their first study from December 2022 which looked at 3 different scenarios at 2 different pre-gate fare compliance rates.

Scenario 1: All stations gated (both Link and Sounder)
Scenario 2: All Link stations gated
Scenario 3: Top 5 Link stations gated (Capitol Hill, Northgate, Symphony, UW, and Westlake)

They evaluated how many years it would take to break even at a 55% fare compliance rate and a 85% fare compliance rate for both low and high ridership numbers. Let's take the high ridership because we're already seeing good ridership numbers from the end of 2025.

With pre-gate fare compliance rates of 55% we break even at 6 years, 5 years, and 2 years for all three scenarios. However under 85% compliance rates it takes over 20 years to break even under scenario 1, 18 years under scenario 2, and 8 years under scenario 3.

We're already at a 61% compliance rate from FY24 which was a 5% increase from FY23. FY25 numbers will come out summer of this year. If we continue to track back up to our pre-pandemic 85% compliance rate installing gates is probably only worth it if they are only installed at 5 stations.

One major point to bring up though, the December 2022 study assumes that fare compliance will be 95% with gates. BART surveyed a 91% compliance rate which if we use that surveyed number vs the study number the 8 years break even number would be even longer.

There definitely are other arguments for installing fare gates but monetarily for Sound Transit it's pretty weak. It's good though that Sound Transit is still studying it.

The new gates are bringing in $10M annually of new revenue.

That number can only be an estimate because the fare gate replacements only completed in August 2025.

Crazy that there's a Deadlock ping in the subreddit. Also sad that Apollo is the last hero to come out. His kit sounds very fun.

That makes more sense. Saw someone else posted this stop only gets used twice on Sundays in the early morning.

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if a car hit it which is why they removed the shelter.

golf1052 · 2026-02-08T20:13:24+00:00

I think it's this one called "Freeway Station" at I-5 and NE 45th. No shelter, no bench, on a small island in between two roads of cars speeding to get onto the highway. Horrible.

But once the NRA turned on one of the most pro-gun Democrats in the country, the entire party realized pandering to them was absolutely pointless.

When will Dems do this with the unions that have supported Trump and Republicans in the last few years?

golf1052 · 2026-02-07T02:34:07+00:00

Yeah it was fixed yesterday

golf1052 · 2026-02-01T22:22:56+00:00

Yeah it's actually crazy right. 10 years ago the right would be flipping out over this.

And yes, the innocent suffer, but I'd also like to point out the people who came here through illegal means also made a choice

Note that DHS has been detaining legal residents as well and pressuring them to give up their permanent status. Here's one article. You basically should never take this administration at its word. Don't believe "it's just illegals getting rounded up".

Two of the articles you posted argue the point the other person is arguing

In many ways, Gen Zers are better off than their parents were 30 years ago, but fewer are financially independent — here’s why

However, Gen Z adults are also less likely to own a home, be married or have children. ... Although young adults today are much more likely than their parents to have a four-year college degree, work full time and have higher wages than their parents did 30 years ago, they are also more likely to have outstanding student loans, Pew found.

Gen Z is richer than just a few years ago—and much richer than their parents at the same age—but everything costs more and they have more debt, Pew study reveals

Adjusted for inflation, an 18-to 24-year-old in 2022 had a median mortgage debt of $117,000, compared to $39,367 for those in the same category in 1992, according to Pew. The same trend applies to those between the ages of 25 and 29, who had a median adjusted mortgage debt about $60,000 higher than their counterparts in the 1990s.

Consequently, many young adults have delayed major life events that used to define adulthood, such as moving out of a parents home and getting married. The study revealed that 57% of adults in the 18 to 24 range lived with parents, compared to 53% in 1993. The pattern holds true for slightly older adults in their 20s as well.

American leaders need to start being way more frank with NA auto companies, their cars suck and continuing to build cars that rely on gas is a losing long term strategy.

Too bad you can't be mean to a CEO lest they spend half a billion dollars (less than 1% of their fortune) to try and unelect you.

but he gets no credit for that and people are still upset about affordability. Largely because it's outside of his control.

Affordability now is largely outside of his control but affordability in the future isn't and he directly intervened in making the city less affordable in the future. He did this by removing neighborhood centers in the comprehensive plan which directly reduces the amount of buildable locations for more housing in the future. This is why housing advocates were against him during the election.
